I know I know, shame me if you must, but I've had some fun with PoE .. Any tips on what to farm? After playing D2 for so long I have the game down pat for farming,. What should I do to get the ball rolling in path of exile? I completed normal mode. Recommended classes? Should I play all 3 difficulties or get rushed? Tips and tricks welcome,. Appreciate it.

make a char that feels good to you, try finishing the 3 difficulties, start mapping until you feel like you cant go much further with that class/build
after that you should have learned enough about the game to be able to comfortably follow a guide, so just browse the forums for one you might enjoy and go for it
the farming strat in this game is pretty much to just spam maps as fast as possible

the starting character matters very little
what matters is the type of build you're going for, ranged, melee, elemental damage, projectiles, crit etc etc etc, then you can see whats the best part of the tree to start at.
looking at ascendancy skills is also important when you start learning the game, as they add alot of damage and they do enable alot of builds
if you feel like you understand games like poe and d2 just follow a guide for some meta build and afterwards you can decide what to do

yeah this is true, i think i did some digging around for builds but i guess i should look at beginners guides where i have access to the gems easily.

I figured , maybe there would be some places to farm that would drop certain things or be easiest to clear for speed / difficulty to ensure results..

Only places that u can farm thatll drop certain things, that are of use, are end game. So getting there should be your first step.

Most drops are global, and all you really need to get better stuff is currency, which drops all the time. Just trade up for bigger currency, then trade that for what you need.
