Path of Exile 2 - How to Make Leveling EASY - IMPORTANT Tips & Mistakes to Avoid

Hello and welcome back to a new Path of

Exile 2 video. So in this video, we're

going to be talking about tips and tricks

to level up the fastest in Path of Exile

2. So there's many new things that you

might not be aware of if you're new to the

game series, and we're going to talk about

those things because it can really make a

difference in your leveling speed and the

amount of satisfaction and enjoyment you

can get out of the game in the early

stages. Okay, so for starters, in any of

the town stages or areas You're gonna have

basically the same types of NPCs and

vendors. You're gonna have the hooded one,

you're gonna have the well, the waypoint.

You don't really need to go to the

waypoint to use the waypoint. You can just

press U and that will bring up the map of

the world, and you can also switch between

the different acts. I'm on Act 2, so you

can't see Act 1 unless you click on Act 1.

And then you've also got some NPCs that

sell stuff and buy stuff, so you just

press buy or sell items, and you can

actually sell stuff instead of dragging it

over to the vendor. You can actually hold

Ctrl and, um, let me see something I

don't really care about keeping or not.

So yeah, so for example, you want to sell

the Sapphire Charm, you can hold Ctrl and

click it and it will sell. And they also

sell quite a lot of different things. So

you've got weapons, go on to page 2,

they've got armor, you've got page 3. But

they also have a different vendor where

they give you a randomized weapon. So for

example, you see this NPC Risu, buy or

sell items. They will sell a random weapon

or random crossbow or random scepter. So

these are quite costly, and it's basically

gambling because it is quite a lot of

money and you don't really know what

you're going to get. You might get

something good, you might get something

rubbish, and you've got random bits of

armor, you've got random shields, uh,

random rings. So it's quite good if you've

got some money to blow and you feel like

luck's on your side and you might be able

to get something good out of gambling in

that way. Or you can play it safe, you go

over to the normal vendor and they'll just

have the stats all written there for you

to make your purchasing decision easier.

You can also disenchant items by this one

by just dragging the item over to this

area, and then you'll get a transmutation

shard. Now an orb of transmutation

is formed after you have 10 of these. So

it basically upgrades a normal item to a

magic item with one modifier. So it's a

way to upgrade your weapons if your

weapons are rubbish. Okay, moving on to

the next tip. So you're going to get these

things called Uncut Skill Gems, and if you

right-click on it, it will let you choose

to pick a new skill. So I can't really

pick anything right now, but these are the

ones I could be picking, and then you have

to get higher in level, like level 31,

level 41, level 52 for these ones. And

you've got all these skills and you can

upgrade them as well. And these are just

the skills designed for your class or your

character. You can also go to All Gems and

you can see this massive list of loads of

different skills. Uh, you got different

stuff. It's not really like a skill. Some

of them are skills, but a lot of them are

just things that get added to your other

skills. So for example, if you go to— I

can't remember which button it was— uh,

G, then you've got your skills on the left

here and you've got slots. You can put the

gems in the slots and it will give them

different bonuses. Like, uh, Mace Strike,

if you put Ignition, you get supported

skills have 100% more chance to ignite.

Fire Infusion, get 25% damage as extra

fire damage. So you can really craft your

own playstyle depending on what gems you

have and which abilities you slot them

together with to create kind of like a

different playstyle. Now if you go to P,

that will open your talent tree, which is

this massive map. And you can see you can

just choose your points depending on what

you want. You've got damage, you've got

fire armor, evasive maneuvers. You've got

evasive maneuvers, so if you want like a

dodging warrior That's very evasive. You

can do that playstyle. So yeah, also note

that on the edges of the circle is where

you want to be aiming for. Uh, you get

stuff like— hmm, what's this? So you see

the shape? So this one looks like a sword.

That's because it's gonna buff sword

damage. Look, 25% increased damage with

swords, swords, 10% increased damage

swords. This one is a star. I don't know

what that means. This one is an explosive.

This one is like a bullseye thing.

This one's a potion, I guess. And this

one's a spear. So if you've got a spear—

yeah, so the shapes of the skills actually

represent what kind of buffs you're going

to be getting. Now if you're not happy

with your selection, you can respec.

You need to unlock the hooded one by

completing a quest. You go to the hooded

one, do refund passives, and you need

about— it's usually about 500 gold per

slot. And then you basically just click

them like that, keep clicking them, and

then you can press apply refunds. But I

don't have enough money. It is very

costly, so if you want to refund about 10

of them, it's going to cost you like 5,000

gold. So you can't really easily respec

unless you've got a lot of gold. And

there's also no button to just reset

everything back to default so you can

start building a new skill tree. You've

got to click it one by one by one by one,

so it's a bit frustrating in that way.

Okay, so when it comes to combat,

obviously you've got your rolling, and you

have to be careful not to get surrounded

because you cannot walk through enemy

bodies in this game. And they do swarm

you, and they do seem to be programmed to

surround you. So you see this, they're

going to start coming from all angles,

and what you don't want to do is get

yourself trapped in a corner and you can't

roll out. Being able to roll around is

extremely good for your survival unless

you're really tanky and you can just take

all the hits. So you don't want to do this

where you get surrounded like that because

you're not going to be able to roll out.

So you're really careful about not getting

yourself surrounded, making sure you know

where all the enemies are on the

battlefield, and make sure you have

control over the fights. Don't let the

enemies control you. Be the master of

every engagement. So you want to roll

around as much as you can. Rolling around

is really the main thing that's going to

keep you alive, is your ability to

maneuver. So you see, this is getting kind

So as you can see here, you've got a lot

of enemies. You don't want them to

surround you, so always be on the move and

always have your abilities ready in the

right place when they need to be. And then

you shouldn't be really surrounded by

doing those things.

Now another little trick is if you open a

portal to town, don't worry, you can go

back to town without it affecting your,

your dungeon. So the spawns won't respawn.

Look, if I go back to town, so I can go

back to town. Let's say your inventory is

full now, you want to sell some stuff, so

I want to sell this. As you wish. And,

uh, maybe I want to buy— I want

to buy something. And then as you can see,

after you finish doing your trading, go

back onto the portal and it'll take you

back to the dungeon, and everything's

going to be left just how you left it. So

everything's still going to be there even

with the damage. The damage you've done to

them will still be saved and it won't

reset. Oh look,

silk slippers.

So I can't really do much damage because I

don't have a weapon, so I can't use my

abilities. So that's why I'm sucking. One

cool thing is you can actually summon the

portal whilst in combat. So this thing's

over there, and you say bye-bye, I'm gonna

go back in my portal. So yeah, the portal

system is very flexible. It's not like

other games where if you leave the dungeon

and come back, everything resets. And it's

not like you can't use the portal if

you're in combat. So yeah, it's a very

flexible system. Can I actually buy a

weapon now?
