Early Game

Foreword to Itemization in PoE

Why is the guide using so many rares & can I use these Uniques?

Whilst a general consensus in ARPG Video Games is that the higher the rarity of an item, the better it becomes, Path of Exile is not necessarily constructed like that. Unique Items can generally be divided into two segments. Those who enable a build because they a specific effect on them which are then combined with Rare Gear items which completement the build-enabling item and those who are placeholders that fix certain things until you can actually upgrade it with better rolls on Rare Gear pieces. Outsides of specific Mechanics, replacing items with random Uniques is not great. However, whenever you feel like they fill your gaps correctly, feel free to use them as placeholders.

Resistances & Attributes

One can never emphasize enough how important Elemental Resistances are on gear. The game is constructed around playing with at least 75% Elemental Resistances & ideally a bit of Chaos Resistances too. Therefore, you should always be looking to cap your Resistances. They should be capped starting from Act V until the end of your progression and you should try to upgrade with Chaos Resistance where you can as you progress through maps. Additionally, people generally have issues finding enough Attributes on builds. Do note that almost every class paths through a passage where they can pick a +30 to Intelligence, Strength or Dexterity and there is no shame in doing so whilst you are still preparing your better gear.

Flasks

Another thing heavily overseen by newer & veteran players alike is the strength which lies in your Flasks. As soon as you hit maps, you should have a bunch of Orb of Alteration Orb of Alterations and you should try to get some lower tiers of the affixes you want on your Flasks according to the guide you’re following. You should aim to have at least some form of useable Flasks when you’re starting maps & you should aim to have the right Magic Flasks right around when you enter Yellow maps. Obviously, expensive Unique Flasks, can be added in later.

Understanding Gear & Character Progression

Where as all guides generally suggest some kind of specific modifiers on Gear, it’s important that these things are “ideal cases”. Generally, when you start your journey through maps, you wanna aim for mostly Life & Resistances on all of your gear (outside of weapons) just to make sure you’re capped Resistances & have a decent health pool. This will, generally, do you just fine for a while. At this point, you’re still mostly carried by your Skill Gems & Passive Skill Tree. Therefore, make sure that you have all suggested gems when you start doing maps and have fixed your links & sockets when you’re able to. Lastly, do not forget to quality your gear using Armourer's Scrap Armourer's Scrap‘s. This is a multiplicative bonus to all the defenses found on your item.

Choosing your Gear

How am I supposed to digest the information that is here to obtain the modifiers that are most relevant on my items.

Generally, we try to give you order of importance on every affix which you could be obtaining by putting them in order of priority. Sometimes, the list will have a mentioned mod that is mandatory, which means that (in later stages of progress) this modifier is build-enabling. Other than that, if you follow the priority list and try to obtain as many of the modifiers on the mentioned items as possible, you should be doing fine. Obviously, the more modifiers that are relevant, the merrier.

Additionally, we have applied a colour code to showcase which part of your character gets enhanced.

Current Challenge League Powercreep

In Settlers of Kalguur, a lot of interesting things can be done to weapons. Therefore, it might be worth actually buying a really expensive weapon that rivals Divinarius in order to exploit the Rune-Enchants.
