Path of Exile - Beginners Guide

Path of Exile is a free-to-play hack n’ slash RPG with what is ultimately a very fair business model. To succeed you do not need to buy anything with real money, but there are some things that are worth getting to improve the overall experience, giving you complete freedom to play the game as you wish. We will dive into these further on in the article, but for now let’s start with the basics.

Leagues
• Standard Leagues
• Challenge Leagues
• Private Leagues
Classes
• What Class to Choose
• Passive Skill Tree
• Gems
• Ascendancy
Currency System & What Loot To Pick Up
Inventory & Stash
There is a lot more to Path of Exile then what was written in this guide, and that will be covered in future guides. Beginners should not focus on end game stuff since it gets complicated. Instead focus on playing the game and hoarding currencies and useful items. By playing the game you will start to understand what is valuable and what isn’t. So here is a recap of some tips mentioned in this article, and a few extra as well:

Good on you guys for taking down the previous video and uploading a new one with corrections. This kind of commitment to accuracy is why this channel is so good.

THANK YOU. This is the 3rd "beginners" guide I've watched and this is the only one that helped and was beginner friendly

[baderuk]

thanks alot for this useful beginner guide its kinda old now but still holding same basic contents

[YeOldeMachina]

Getting ready to play this for the 1st time, scrolling through guides on YouTube, I see a Fextralife guide.

Score

[LarsUriel]

Best PoE guide for absolute beginners. Its clear, concise and actually goes through what matters. a lot of the other people trying to make guides are more trying to fool around or explain too much for that which isnt pertinent when you are just starting the game.

I downloaded this game on PS4 about a week ago. What a game for a free to play I'd even go as far to say it's better than Diablo 3 and probably more on a par with Diablo 2.

[allstarpunk]

43 seconds in and you have my like and sub. This is how guides should be done. Super concise and well written.

[DiggityDawgDiggity]

Oh thank god. I played path of exile a long time ago but I forgot pretty much everything and really needed something like this

[summoner]

I've started playing this game like 3 times. I always get overwhelmed and give up like half way into the story.

[blackcitadel]

All I know is that if something has a red name you should kill it before is kills you.

[b.c.]

D2 fantatic here, I stubbornly overlooked and judged this game very foolishly before actually trying out, I'm 3 days in with a lvl 20 shadow sabotuer and I have to say I am extremely impressed. This game Is truly brilliant in its originality.

[Metalmandy]

As a beginner, I feel even more confused and overwhelmed now. :P

[ukdnbmarsh]

i have just started playing this game and for free its just great, im going to get stuck into some smashing now, see you there !!!

[pantango]

I think you did a great job explaining this for beginers. Will be looking for more of these. PS4 comes out 3/26 so I want to get a head start.

[josepartida]

Thanks fextralife! I just got this game a few days ago for my PS4. (Don’t have a pc)
I’m just focusing on strength because I wanna smash shit, and I figure it’d be more straightforward for me. I’ve never played anything like this game but I’m enjoying it so far.

[hellborn]

My very first class was a Witch. Spends couple of hours to research for the build then eventually got tired playing the game. Now I am going to play this game again with different class.

[markdowse]

I am stuck behind a huge red wall on the opening beach.
How do I get through it, please?

[TroPyn]

played on and off again since 2015, got 340 hours in total and and few days ago I finally beat the lab. Had no idea what it was, used to avoid those trials for not seeing the point of those deathtraps. Never got to the endgame though, only play it for the thrill of hardcore

[Dragon]

ive been playing poe for 5 years and still watch beginner guides lol

[beans]

I’ve tried to play this some many times being an ARPG fan. I’m still unlocking that map & I cannot for life of me figure out where I’m meant to go....it’s been 18 months of me jumping back in & cannot still figure it out
