True learning is the best fun, but I just feel that poe has gotten to a point where it's kinda overwhelming to pick up as a new player

Nope.. really easy

kill monsters

If youre talking about MTX, as new player you only need:

Currency tab
Map tab
And a few premium tabs to sell stuff or a quad tab

You will eventually try to keep a lot of trash and run out of tabs and then buy more tabs to keep more trash.. but thats cause youre keeping lots of trash basically.
So eventually you will self decide that you need more tabs.

Thx for all info boiz, got dueler 14 lvl , saw few Guides and wanted A ww dueler like barb dont know is this Good or what. What is Basic currency in game ? Or Traded on forum ? Like HR's in d2

Basic currency is chaos orbs are your middle ground currency and exalts are your HR's. Mirror of kalandra is your gold mine rich if it ever drops. All in all everything converts back to chaos.

If you end up buying any gear, I suggest looking for life and cold/light/fire resistances. Don't worry about increasing your dps like crazy when you are starting off. Having a build that can do act 1 through 10 smoothly is much more worth it than trying to figure out why you keep dying so much but your damage is high.

So, get a good amount of life.

Also, if you are following guides, make sure they are recent (in last 3-6 months) and make sure they are beginner friendly and have a low budget to finish the build off.

I made the error of following guides but I didn't pay attention that the build was gonna cost a shit load to get it to a good point. And, I made the error of following 1 year old guides.

POE has changed a lot recently in last 6 months.

play the game and learn

I have a tab, goldrim, and wanderlust boots if you need?
