Lots of good video guides on that channel for people just picking up Path of Exile.

This guy makes kind of most in depth guides i saw so far and has a voice not that annoying as some of these reallife-fails ( some of these streamers )

gl, as mentioned at start, poe is really deep, you can put month in it to work through all the content and options

and, yes -> don´t think about crafting, yet, it opens new doors, but its also a "noob trap", if you do not know how to do it and what to target for -> learn basics first

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.

You will fuck up youre first char like every body else

But with some in game currency you can restore it. So fuck it up as much as you like :wacko:

And the developers main site, path of exile wiki and youtube/google are youre best friends.

Edit: and not to forget the poe trade site. Just google and you will find it all.

I personally followed enkis arc witch guide on the forums

It is very very detailed, and tells you step by step on how to progress through the acts, even which gems to pick for quest rewards

My first league, i probably spent 2x more time reading up on the game then actually playing it

so far first character isn't messed up - i hit a passive in the tree just for a stat check but can always undo that later
i'm like lvl 57 or 58 and at the start of a7 - caught up with where my friend is at. found a vaal ancestral warchief, that gem is nuts
for a 6l instead of weapon i have a tabula rasa which i'm using for my cyclone + 5 supporting gems, so far literally everything is a breeze

@everyone, thanks for the help and links etc, i'll have to touch up on those while i'm not playing
