im playing poe again since long time and i am confused

using a guide from youtube and it says to put gem into gear slots but the gems are not available to buy and guide for act 1.i have the needed min level. (example clarity or precision gem)

if i finish the game and then create a new chara,will i be able to buy all gems or most in act 1 already with a lvl 1 character?

how can i get the first ascendancy?same as the gems? do i have to finish the trials first and then with new chara can i just skill them at level 10?

If these are hard to figure out

Poe is not for you

ok my suggestion if you're this new: find a build guide on the forum that has a beginner area/section. most of them will tell you exactly what to do and where to go until you get to end-game maps, lol

don't follow yt ones

yeee i mean its not that those are hard questions, the problem is that you will have many of that type and they are best answered by playing yourself, either by following a written guide, or even better with a friend who already plays to guide you

at this point poe is extremely hostile to new players so good luck !

Just ask someone to buy it from the vendor, unless you play ssf (solo self found), in which case just level with something else until you can buy the gem.
It's possible that you've watched an old guide and it's not up to date anymore. They change things around sometimes (often).

Why would you use a build guide as new player, getting fked is part of core game experience
It’s confusing at start yes and you spend most currency for orb of regrets yes but it’s fun to overcome challenges, not just copy pasting…

You can make it to red maps and some endgame bosses (not Uber versions) pretty fine without a guide tbh

Honestly bro I would not take any advice from anyone on jsp. I know it seems like a good idea, asking the community and all, but what’s left of jsp in its current state is a handful of toxic burnouts that don’t even enjoy the games they play anymore, followed by a sliver of good hearted people.
