hi, Isen here with another video for the upcoming 325 league. And this is going to be a video with tips and tricks for the upcoming League start, covering a lot of tips for both new players and Veterans. There are some changes as well for returning players. So in this video we're going to go through all of those. To start with, there's a big shift in spells versus melee. Now, generally in Path of Exile, spells were so much stronger, especially to start with, because they would scale so heavily per level, and you would get roughly a 15 to 20% damage boost just by leveling up the gem. This would be particularly strong because if you are then overleveling, you're getting a large amount of damage, whereas melee was only getting big damage upgrades by upgrading their weapons and not getting a large bonus with the actual leveling the gem. This is changing with spells being nerfed, getting their scaling at a lower level, like kind of chopped a little bit, I guess. If anything, they'll be stronger.

for a level up, but um, they do start a little bit weaker early. A lot of the skills went from maybe full damage efficiency scaling to um, a lot less, so they've got nerfed a little bit. So spells will probably be a little bit worse for starting out. That being said, they do still have that system of you do gain a lot of um, damage per level. So especially if you don't understand gear, spells are really good for that. Now, as I said, melee weapons and self like that, they will need to be good for your skill to be good and to feel great. So keep that in mind when picking a build. Um, and a really big thing for this upcoming patch is endurance charges is king. Um, the majority of our guides have some form of endurance charges. So if a build doesn't, hopefully it knows what it's doing. Now, as for where to find a build guides, there are a lot of good guide sites like, for example, Max roll, and there will be good Builds on there. And there are a lot of content creators.

specialize in very handhold the build guides for new players, and we sometimes dumb down builds on purpose, make them slightly less optimal but a lot easier for a new player. So there are some choices of where to get build guides. Also, with my build guides, you will always be able to help you fix any problem that arises. Now I do want to mention some third-party tools real quick that are really important, but I will have a separate video going in-depth with all the third-party tools. The Wikipedia, if you Google Path of Exile and Poe AIS and stuff, the F Wiki will be the first thing that's because they pay for better search engine optimization. This has not been updated in years. There is a ton of misinformation. It is not endorsed nor updated by Grinding Gear Games. So don't use the Fandom Wiki. It is very bad. What you should still do instead when searching is you can search for Pee Wiki and then what you need, and then the Pee Wiki that is powered by GGG will

come up so this is the official one. PoB is a database that will have pretty much all information. Everything's state in mind it's really well done. It's really uh well maintained um pretty much every Advanced player uses this, and you can see like modifiers on weapons pretty much anything you want. It will take some time to navigate that's why we'll have a separate video for it, but it's a very good resource. PoE exchange if you're doing bulk trading and stuff. Now obviously a lot of this will be mitigated by the auction house, but po exchange really good for bulk trading uh and especially buying like package deals that you might not be able to do on the auction house. And last but certainly not least in fact this might be my favorite craft of Exile is an insanely good resource. It basically simulates crafting as if you were doing it in game with the odds and stuff like that so you can actually try to play around with crafting and try to learn without actually using Divine herbs or chaos so.

extremely good. You can do simulations, and you can just play around with straight-up currency. Now, we do have vendor recipes, and the Wikipedia actually has a vendor recipe thing, so you can search Poe Wiki vendor recipes and look through them. There are a lot of good ones, like you can even make uniques like H's bite, for example. Now, I do want to highlight some recipes because they are incredibly good, especially at league start. So let's take a look at that. There are several good ones. The melee weapon, or rather the physical recipe, uses a rustic sash, it uses a weapon, and the rarity of the weapon doesn't matter, and you need a whetstone. Now, the rarity of the sash matters because if it is white, it does not do anything, and if it is blue, it will be slightly worse, and if it's yellow or rare, it'll go all the way up to 64%. So this is a really good thing to use bad Essences on. Let's say, for example, you have a greed early on.

don't really care about 5 to 14 life on a PC of gear, and if you use this on a weapon, it's a very big chance that it's going to get something bad, so you'll just throw this on The Rustic sash instead of UC an Alchemy. So if I throw this here, it's very unlikely that I'm going to get high percentage physical damage. However, if you have a contempt early that is pretty usable because if that hits percentage fist, you have a banger weapon. If you're not familiar with weapon crafting, having both flat physical and percentage physical early on is so good. Now, there is a similar recipe for spell damage, and that is with a chain belt. Same thing, if it's rare, it will be better than if it's blue. So you can do it with blue, but definitely keep on to blacksmith wet Stones early on. Another recipe that might be useful is in a pinch if you don't have any movement speed, you can do a augment Quicksilver anything uh.

Boots. Now, if you keep doing this recipe, it'll upgrade 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. So you can keep upgrading your boots like that. And even if they're just blue, that is a prefix, you can still craft resist on it. So that is very nice. You're basically forcing yourself to get resist boots. Speaking of resists, if you go to your hideout, something that is incredibly useful is just the knowledge that um, you can craft resist on white gear. So for one transmute, I got 20% resist on my boots. So all I focus on early on is Socket pressure. I do not really care about the um, getting like, you know, six cold res on here and then nothing else. So 20 Cold rest on your GE really, really good early. Now, there are some jewelry recipes as well. And remember that an iron ring can be turned into a ruby, a sapphire, or a topaz ring in a pinch. And this is a good thing to not because if you find an influenced iron ring later, if you do this recipe, it

is um it does keep the influence. So, if this was Warlord, the topus ring would be Warlord too. So, that is quite cool. Another recipe is if you sell a red gem, a blue gem, and a green gem, and an amulet, it'll turn it into a white onyx amulet. Now, a decent thing here is that this is basically infinite scours. So, now I can Alchemy this or throw an essence. Like, I might have a lot of low-level bad Essences, and then I just keep doing this over and over again. So, I don't have to use scours. I actually quite often will use this on Link Start just to try to get a okay amulet early. So, keep that in mind. Definitely useful. Now, this does always make it a winning amulet. You can't turn it into a turquoise or something, and you can't keep it as like a gateulate or something. Now, another thing worth mentioning is leveling areas in the campaign. And I'd say each Act has like a decent place like Ledge.

Northern Forest and Western Forest, but there are just a few places that we regularly do level and overlevel in the campaign. Especially on softcore, you should only need to do it in these two areas. But even on Hardcore, we pretty much only level in those areas. Docks is really good in act three. Act four doesn't really have one. Com stronghold is the least worst. Once you get to act five, this is the main leveling area, and very often you will see players go all the way to 48. Sometimes in harder races and on Hardcore, go to 50 to 52 here. And the reason for that is that in the next areas all the way to act 7, it's not that good to farm. And this zone is just insane. There's blue Monsters Everywhere, and it's so nice to get really geared up before innocence and before kava. I usually go to 45, 46 here, but you can go further. Act six, so prisoners gate is decent here. Ashton fields and Northern in act seven. Act 8

Harbor Bridge is another really, really good farming place. It depends a little bit on the mechanics and stuff like that, but Act 8, Harbor Bridge, can be really nice to farm, as well as Blood Aqueduct in Act 9. This is one of the main places people get level 70 before Maps, 'cause getting that makes the Belly of the Beast becomes a lot easier, and Belly of the Beast boss can be really tricky, especially on Hardcore. You're undergeared, maybe you're not even res capped, you're struggling. Farming here in Blak can be really nice. Act 10, Desecrated Chambers, similar to Act 5 one, but then you have already killed the 9 boss, and Act 10 is quite easy compared to 9. Another thing that's really important for the new league is setting up your tabs beforehand. So what league are you going to play and where do you need to set up tabs? So if I'm going to play Hardcore Trade in 325, I need to just do the normal Hardcore League.

whereas if I'm playing hardcore solo cellan, then I need to go to regular hardcore solo cellone and set up the tabs there because it takes it from the parent League. Now I know there's been some issues with private leagues in this before. Um, I believe there's maybe it's fixed already, but I believe there's an issue with the not setting. If you make the private League before the parent League exists, it'll just make all your tabs in no folders and stuff. And I do have videos about how I set mine up, but I'm very happy with my usage of like folders and tabs and setting everything up. I try to have like short names on everything so this list doesn't go out to here. Um, and it's pretty easy for me to search through. Next, I want to start covering some map tricks and what I do at the start of the league because usually it takes me less than a day to fill out most of my Atlas. Um, and I want to show how to accomplish that. So first off KX.

celles maps, and you can hold alt to see what is completed. Whether it's just the map itself or the bonus. To just complete a map and make it dropable, you just need to kill it regardless of a red map being rare, etc., or uncorrupted just to make it droppable, you just need to kill it. So keep that in mind as well. But either way, holding alt down on that will give you lots of information. Now when does Kieric reset the maps he sells? So if you're look now, we have one red map for sale. And if I open any of these Maps, I don't even need to look at what the mission is or anything like that. Now you can see that he's selling a bunch of new maps. So it's every time he opens a mission, he is going to reset that. And this is very good. I use this especially to break into five to eights and stuff. I that maybe even for a few of my tier twos and threes early, but chbs are quite precious.

early, I don't use them for anything else than this um, but yeah, very very good for that. Now next, I want to show another really good map tip, and that is um TR to oneing. So obviously the specific Atlas that you're looking at now is going to be changed, but the important part here is I have no watchstones in, so all the maps you're seeing right now is their natural tier, and that is really important cuz that that is important for this because what I'm about to show you. Like for example that like now I could drop a cemetery as a tier 11, right? So that'll change things, but if we look right now, cemetery is tier 4, and you can see that it is connected to both Gardens and cage as a tier five map. So some returning players might think those are one of the maps that I will be getting. However, I can actually get any map at tier above. So now I got a Siege, now I got a courtyard, now I got a Gardens, now I got a Siege, and I think I've switched with

every combination I possibly can here. However, that was only trying with the those two. What if I'm now trying with these two? I'm trying this one, Courtyard burial Chambers now, a tall, a tall FAS magoria so through I think it's seven Maps you need. Um, you can hit at least one that you want above. So I can now hit every single tier five by different mix and match. And the way this works is that maps are different to currency. They all have their own unique database ID, right? They are their own item. Like if I'm switching these two, this is that map, right? Whereas currency, hopefully this makes sense, but currency doesn't have a unique item identifier. Now, think of this a little bit as like Po potion mix matching, depending on that item ID, which isn't something we can see, but we can mix around with different ones and get a map of the tier above. So the tldr is if you have at least seven of one map, you can by mix and matching different ones hit one that is one tier above.

let's say that I didn't have graveyard with these nine. One of these or three of these will sell for a graveyard, but I'll have to play around with the combination. Now there is another thing that I want to talk about that I have not talked about before in tips and tricks videos, and honestly for a lot of people this advice comes too late from me to actually help them, and that is isolating maps on the atlas. Now if you're already familiar with path of Exel, you know that if I'm trying to F A Siege map, then I want to be in Canyon or cells right at the start of a leag, because if this is never being completed and I'm killing waterways, then Siege simply cannot drop. But we can actually use this to our advantage. So let's say none of these Maps were filled in, right, and it is easier than ever in the new patch to see what divination cards drop where. You'll just be able to hover over, and it'll tell you that in Siege it drops for.

example the shaper uh scepter and stuff like that Gardens drops porcupine. So let's use Gardens as an example. And then I already know now that I really want to farm Gardens for the porcupine card. I'm going to play a bow build, and I want a six book. Now I look at what's near Gardens, right? Is there anything else good that I want a divination card from? Well, not really, right? Our lake is kind of whatever, and Cemetery is okay. I'll farm that so I have a chance to get some divines. So now what I then do with my new fun knowledge is I do not complete any other tier four and other tier five. Now why do I do this? And this is why it's something you can up because we cannot uncomplete maps on the atlas. That sucks. It's just the reality of things. So this is basically permanently bricking your Atlas if you don't know about this. Now this is something I only do temporarily at the start of a league to farm a specific div card. Good

for my build, specifically the porcupine. Um, other builds do it. I would like change that bind and stuff like that, but getting a six thing in the first 10 hours of a league is really nice. So now that I've completed the gardens and I've completed Cemetery, those are the only tier fours and tier fives that can drop. Now the next thing I do is I work on climbing into yellows to um, I start, you know, getting my bonus and evolving my Atlas. Hil Tre right and I particularly focus on things that add monsters to my map. So maybe that's shrines. Maybe that's strong boxes, harbingers, breach, anything that adds a lot of monsters to the map is really good. And I could also have divination cards from strong boxes are duplicated and do strong boxes. That is a really nice thing to do early on. Now every time I'm doing a map that isn't connected to a tier five, it is going to drop Gardens because waste pool. The only tier five I can drop here is Gardens cuz.

it is not connected to burial chamber. Now, if I'm in a tier six, it can drop chamber. But if I'm doing like when I'm doing my yellow map completion, I end up getting 20 to 40 of these, and I also get a lot of these. So it is a really, really nice thing, and I end up just like leveling up and completing my Atlas, and I do lose out on a lot of points. But the main thing that stops me from farming a divination card early on is simply that, well, okay, I only have one Gardens. I'm not going to get a full porcupine card from one Gardens, and farming the campaign is not very good from drop r. So hopefully that makes sense on how to isolate Maps. You simply just do not complete any other maps of that tier. I usually Farm one set of the div card, and then I complete everything, and the future characters will be in a more alive economy anyway. But at the first 10 hours of leak start, it might be really

hard to get now. How do you get rich in Path of Exile? This is not going to be like a large section about how to make currency, but the number one thing I would tell you to do is to specialize in one thing. Find something that you enjoy, and honestly, there's very few wrong answers here. Like, Oh, that's bad. If you enjoy Sanctum and you start focusing on Sanctum, buying that off other people and just spam running it, you are going to make a lot of money. Do you like Essences and you're focusing on during Tier 6 maps and spam running them very fast and selling them to other people, you're going to make a lot of money. Do you like Blight and you just want to focus on that, buy that from other people. And honestly, this goes for nearly everything. Heist as well, like if you just focus on one mechanic, become really good and people will buy more in bulk as well. Um, there's just so many wins here and focusing on one mechanic and specializing. So, and and you'll find

yourself becoming more efficient and using your time better as well whereas every time. The people I know that are the poorest every League. They're the ones that are just doing a little bit of this a little bit of that steel Mage left my guild all the people that are poor are generally the ones that are just playing the game with no set plan and if that works for you there is no wrong way to play a game other than to not have fun but if you want some tips for being rich specialize another thing that's really good for making money especially inly early is if you are a player that's a little bit on the faster side some people are flipping their keyboard now and thinking I take 20 hours through the campaign me but if you are getting a little bit early to Maps if you are getting a little bit early to tier 16s selling High item level bases especially in hardcore literally turns out money it's 10 to 20 Kos per base and you will find five to

10 bases per map, and the maps themselves can be 20 to 40 C early on, so you can get an insane amount of currency the first like 10 hours. Now, another thing that's an easy mistake to do, and I've done this myself, is assuming that something has the same price as last league. For example, there are some leagues where Badge of the Brotherhood have been multiple divines, and there are some where it has been three chaos, same with simple items like Fury Valve, and there are quite a lot of items. So, erring a little bit on the side of caution and looking up items that you at least know are usable, is a really, really surprisingly good advice, because price changes a lot by the meta. This is particularly important because there are some items that are really cheap because they aren't being used, but the item itself is quite rare. So, when an item is actually used a lot, it is going to be expensive. Like, for example, Zerphi's Heart is really common, but because lastly it was one of the most popular

builds. It was 6 Divine on Hardcore. I ended up finding 30 or 40, and they sell like hot cakes. Another thing that's not to be slept on, especially because they're getting buffed this league, and we will be finding some of those beasts that are from the Einhar missions specifically. They will actually be rare beasts now, some of them we don't know which ones, I think, but we are getting a buff to beasts. Either way, there is quite a lot of decent ones early. The unique ones can be really good to do as well. I don't know if we know how we get the Black Morgan now, but that's going to be one to look out for. Obviously, you have the very special ones, but beast in general is really good, especially for like even just maps and stuff. Imprint Beast, Split Beast, very good. Now, hopefully, Neversink will do this for most of you, but having 30% quality bases showing on your filter, I believe that's the only way to get 30% quality.

uh on a base now, but 30% bases will be selling probably for quite a lot now, and remember that there are new base types in the game as well, so you will be using those eventually. Either way, that's it for me. Hope you guys enjoyed all the tips and tricks. Let me know if there was something you found particularly useful, um, or something that was badly explained, and I can explain it better in the future because I usually want to do one of these per League. Also, feel free to share really good tips that I didn't mention in the comments down below, and people might get some really good gems. Either way, thanks for watching. I will also be streaming on YouTube and Twitch this le start, so thanks sub if you like the video, but more importantly try to die less than I do.
