They'll be making the trade site better down the line by adding "Psuedo Total" searches, which will speed things up for low-mid items you want to search for quickly, but I think (and hope) this guide will be useful for a long time to come as a "Core PoE 2 skill guide" - so I hope it helps!
AND this is my first video with another one of my new Editors, introducing TITANLFG! They've done a great job with the mess of footage and notes I gave them to make this topic pretty digestible - let us know what we can improve on for next time that'd help with guides like this!

[aechean]

Incredibly useful, easy to understand, and no BS. You've been a pillar of PoE for years; thank you for all that you do for the community!

[thedatathief]

This needs way more views. I'm putting this in my save folder forever now

[moldiworp]

What a chad guide, i can feel the divs already. I had no idea filter items by its stats was a thing, i was manually adding like a chump and it was a slog

[tomekhome]

amazing example at the end, this really is an eye opener and makes me realize how much currency I wasted, by doing simple, silly searches

[jonathanguym.d.]

That was excellent thank you - again, lol, another day and another 10 things learned

[ForFrackSake]

I'm happy to see you still posting such informative and great guides! Your guides were the first ones I watched to first get a hang of poe1 a few thousand hours ago. I hope you keep up the good work and shepard many more newbies getting into these great games!

[brattpack]

Thanks @ZiggyD, very good tutorial video with excellent examples

[Nallenbot]

This and the Trial video are excellent

[LazyPandaBum]

Since you seem to be making videos geared toward newer players, have you considered making one about knowing whether an item is good or not? And I guess somewhat related is knowing when to use your crafting resources.

[Gspi]

One thing I'd add. If you are using Path of Building, you can highlight and paste items directly from the trade side into it to see what it will do for your build. Just make sure you copy it from the default view, and not either compact one.

[chuckmaddox]

Items NEED to be transferred from the sellers stash directly to the buyers stash WITHOUT direct player interaction

[tartearer]

You talking about currency amounts that is a dream for me.

[SparksofLiberty]

Got me to like and sub on the "count" filter... yell yeah!❤

[feelsgoodman]

i wish the endgame didnt basically force you to use the online trade site. its such a miserable grind without purchasing gear off it

[cyliemyrus]

There should be a system like the currency exchange but for trading, make another npc just for that, drop off the things you want to sale and you can check back whenever to see if it sold. Dont have to worry about being afk or offline when someone wants to buy something.

[Pusetryne]

Proper offline trading system in both games are long overdue. Having to interrupt playtime in order to manually perform a trade i very unnecessary in 2025 and is the one thing that ruings the joy of playing the game. I usually never sell more than 10-20 items during a whole league due to this primitive system. It ruins all the fun and unless addressed I am not sure I will play PoE 2 even though I have many thousands of hours in PoE 1. They can keep the old system if they like, but add possibility to sell directly from a special stash tab or player controlled vendor npc. They can exist in parallel and this addition could even use the normal trade site with the only difference being that some trades for single items are automated.

[danielsecara]

I'm an SSF player and I still watched the guide.
PS: dont mind my comment, just pleasing the algorithm.

[collapsiblechair]

I just want to loot stuff off mobs and not trade. But, sadly, GGG don't give mobs good loot to drop.

This is the type of video that should have 3 million views on it and breed a new type of player who is interested in PoE2 and its unique take on the genre. Instead, this video is going to have tons of discourse from people saying, "That's nice and all, but just add an Auction house, this is 2025, no one has time to do all this." The people who need this video have already made it up in their mind that long term if there is no Auction House they will simply not play.
