furthest i've got so far is helping alira in a2 - just curious on a few things
found a whirlwind-esque duelist build i'll stick with so i can learn other aspects of the game afterwards (and just have something relatively simple to follow in the meantime)
1: best resources to learn about the game, mechanics, gems etc quickly?
2: are uniques better than rares or is it kinda just whatever item best fits your build?
3: is crafting much of a thing / fairly important?
4: a list of terminology (can prob find this on my own, but most important terms)
5: things 100% not to do as a new player, that prevents me from fucking up my character later
6: things i need to do early on to make my grind a little easier
7: general newbie tips
any pointers are appreciated, game's a little more diff from diablo series than i anticipated, especially the "no going back if you fucked up too much" skill tree thing.
I answer couple ones. Game is like 100x deeper than Diablo and learning takes time. YouTube is best place to search basic guides, most recent ones should be fine. Before you even start download item filter which hide some garbage dropping in game and show you right items. You can download item filter from filterblade.zyx
Other useful site is poe.ninja - item values (getting clue which items are worth something), builds section
1: YouTube (New player guides etc.)
2: Like 99% of the game uniques are garbage but some are build enabler and useful in some builds, also some uniques is very good with certain corrupt (vaal orbing item). Mostly your endgame char Will wear both uniques and rares.
3: Dont even try before you are familiar with game, it's very complicated and you Will lose currency If you dont know what you do. Most items you need can be traded from website much cheaper than crafting.But with crafting you can make most powerful and expensive items in game.
5: Dont waste your currency much while leveling like buy expensive items.
6:Pick some starter build guide from pathofexile.com/forum - helps a lot. Play league - much more active players -> trading is easier.
7: Not going to write book here
