You only really want currency + some sort of generic premium tab to be able to sell stuff in PoE2. You should probably leave some points left over since they will probably release a couple more useful tabs. If you intend to play PoE1 at whatever point, then you want map and fragment tabs. You can never really go wrong with generic premium or quad tabs, but you'd probably never fill over $200 worth of them ever. ~$80 of them in PoE1 and $40 in PoE2 probably already exceeds what most people will ever use. While they cut back a lot of things for PoE2 compared to PoE1, PoE1 is also 10 years down the line in terms of content updates. PoE2 will potentially have 30 leagues worth of bloat by 2034 too which makes more tabs more valuable over time.
If you plan on playing multiple characters I would highly recommend a flask tab. It's not as essential as a currency or gem tab but being able to give your other characters a godly low-level flask is a game changer early to mid game. You can get by with just setting an affinity on a regular or premium tab but being able to sort by level reduces some time in town
In poe 1 you could Ctrl+RIGHT click, instead of left, to move all duplicate items at once. Saves a ton of time. I haven't tried it in poe 2 yet, but im sure it also works.
Just invested in some additional premium tabs before seeing your video ^^ Started mapping yesterday with my cold monk ( home made build ) so I'm gonna need storage.
The unique tab is one of the biggest space savers of them all. If you intend to keep 1 of every unique you almost have to have it. Else you will need a dozen of regular tabs :-)
Quad tab is worth the same as 4x premium tabs. BUT, you get a small discount when you get the 6x premium tab bundle. Therefore, quad tabs are slightly more expensive per space than regular tabs. However, it should be noted that there's more perimeter on the smaller tabs. ie, without carefully stuffing them full, it's easy for more spaces to be left empty on the smaller tabs because once you get to the last row only some items start to fit. So while the 6x regular tabs do technically hold more space for money, in de facto actual use it's probably pretty much a wash. Quad tabs are popular as dump tabs because you can just dump everything in one place for a while without having to switch pages or worry about the edges so much. But having MORE tabs is more helpful with pricing things and organizing things. I think most people should get a set of 6x tabs before their first quad.
Does setting the tab to a "set Price" for all, automatically start selling the items at that price? I noticed the price isn't on the item like other tabs
I had a quick look on their webshop and IMMEDIATELY bought the corgi pet as I have one at home :). Hope they don’t take too long to convert all cosmetics to PoE2.
Is there any advantage of a quad tab vs premium tabs? At the current sale price of 165 for 6 premium tabs, that's 27.5 each, vs a quad tab on sale at 120 which comes out to 30 if it was normal-sized.
I use quad tabs as "arrival" tabs throwing all items unsorted in when I jump to the camp for emptying my inventory. Because I hate to be interrupted in my "kill flow" by sorting and selling and salvaging items.
@@IamaQuadChannel Which is the advantage of having more tabs. Take anything super valuable out of it. Price the whole tab and never come back until someone wants something from it. But if you do decide to empty it.. you can set a shop and the stash right next to each other in your hideout and convert it all pretty fast.
Im sooo confused how the premium trade works. So if someone want to buy w/e item you put in, do i have to add that person and port to them and meet them personaly? Does it happen automaticly (like if someone wants to buy ther item they pay w/e cost it may be and the transfer happens by it self)? And if you are needed to meet them, what safety do you have if we talking about a really valuable item to not get scammed? Im totally new and learning as i go, thanks for the helpful video
yes you add them to your party, and then they typically port to you. the only safety is you double checking that they put the right thing in the tab, if they do and then suddenly cancel trade thats a red flag btw to doublecheck the next trade
Only tab that doesn’t work is the currencies one where on computer u can be on any tab and they will go there nope on ps5 u have to be on tab for it to work yet the gems tab works fine
The gem tab is pretty scuffed and not functioning correctly, I imagine ggg will update it eventually. Also skill/spirit/support gems NEED a different inventory icon ASAP lol
Figuring out how much things are worth is one of the more difficult struggles in this game for a new player. Then figuring out how much currency is worth is another battle. Maybe you can do a video explaining why somethings would be worth more than others. I see the item you placed for 5 exalt orbs is very nice, with lots of evasion, full quality, dual resistance, and tons of spirit. But how do we figure that out with other items?
Premium tabs can be named and you can change their colors. Looks prettier and potentially makes it easier to organize but besides that there's not much functional differences for SSF
Just subbed Don, great videos! I’m really struggling with maps. Any tips/suggestions on what to do with gear (I.e max res, specific dmg types for the invoker monk)?
Intentionally coding the game to stack things in 10 or 20 when the game is already designed to stack things into the thousands just to force people to buy stash tabs is such an insane grift. It's wild that people are okay with this swindle considering all of the shit they generally bitch about when it comes to monetization in other games that are far less predatory in their practices.
@DonTheCrown so every 4 months or so you have to grind again your character and hope to get lucky with weapons etc to pass the whole 6 acts in total again?
@@nis_giaYou can play in standard/purgatory league forever with your items and old characters. But most people don't. Patch changes often break older characters anyway within a few leagues so you'd have to keep them updated. And because items stay forever, there's massive inflation in currency for desirable items and some less desirable items with some value in a trade league will have no value on standard. The economy ends up too stagnated. Also, while the acts are enjoyable the first time and might take 30+ hours... if you just push them they only take like 10 (and speedrun pace is far faster) and most people without outside responsibilities can get them finished in just the first weekend of a league. Streamers are done with it day 1. PoE is really all about the endgame.
@@redfish337 my concern is that I had trouble with gear on my first playthrough. Basically I had a lvl28 quarterstaff carry me till the end and it was rough at some points handling all the mobs. I don't mean to lower the difficulty, I mean that this is really luck dependent cause of so many item passives and I would argue this is rougher for melee classes in general.

Exaltef stash bundle is 430 or something and the stash tabs loose are 410 why is the stash tab bundle not on sale. Is this a bug? Or should i just buy them seperate
Been posting this to a number of PoE vets. Follow-up question, if I may. I ran into an issue this morning that has me flummoxed, and trying to figure out 1) why it's a thing, and 2) how to fix it are both in short supply. First a very brief background: due to some issues I had with my account and Twitch drops, I had little choice but to buy a 2nd $30 key on the PS5 (I initially had it on my Series X.) As you predicted, the sale for stash tabs went live last night and I spent this morning going through both XBox and PS5 to spend my 300 Points in each account (600 Points total.) Although the accounts are "unified" (my characters appear regardless of which platform I'm on) it kept my Point totals segregated. I made what I considered to be fairly discerning decisions on the tabs, first on PS5. Got most of my specialty tabs, a premium quad tab and life was good. I then switched over to the XBox, and first confirmed that the tabs were there (they were.) I then went into the shop and started spending my other 300 points on more tabs (mostly upgrading normal to premium and a few others.) I then went back into the stash, but nearly all my tabs had turned into REMOVE ONLY. I played PoE1 veeeeery casually back probably 8-10 years ago, there was nothing in the tabs there. And I didn't start playing PoE2 until the Early Access launched last week. Also, I don't belong to a guild. This was and is all very confusing to a newbie player like myself. As near as I can tell from what very little info I can glean, the games make a distinction between "legions" (which I'm assuming is "Exile-ese" for "seasons") and what they term "Standard" (or permanent.) The issue is, I never even got to interact with some of those tabs before they were marked as RO. To make matters worse, I gated out and then back, and now those same RO tabs are actually missing! It has me spitting mad because those tabs cost me actual money, and they're apparently MIA. And there doesn't appear to be a way of manually switching between legion/standard play. So did I just piss away $60 worth of tabs, or are they hiding someplace? Explain it to me as you might to a 5 year-old, because you wouldn't be that far off. Between the Twitch drop fiasco last week and now the stash tabs, GGG is making it harder and harder to justify playing this game. Change my mind, please!
You buy from the seller: search the website, link the desired item to your game, then whisper the seller and use the link (because the link provides information about what item with what price in which of his tabs, so he can fetch the item quickly), port to him, make the trade. The public function on a premium tab lists all items in it for sale to the website.
Hello, I have a question, if I buy one of those stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, can I use that same stash tab in Path of Exile 1 without having to buy it again?
I'd wait a bit with the map tab, GGG will probably port it over soon but we don't know yet if waystones will have a new tab so unless you plan to use the map tab in PoE 1 it's a bit of a gamble to buy now
Why the F are we paying $ for inventory? Coming from D4. Developers can def. take some notes out of their book too. Auto-inventory sort too.... lets get some QOL things going
for a ftp game, they gotta make some kind of money, and to be honest inventory is a smart idea. Seriously everyone needs it, and 90% of the players are gonna buy that at least.
@@figuresix The whole FTP idea doesnt exist anymore. Its a certainty money will be spent on cosmetics and micro transactions now. I am not disappointed, but the hype for this game was too much. Still think I prefer Diablo in some aspects honestly, but another year hopefully they make some changes.

OMG what key are you pressing to transfer to your stash with click? I can't find it to save my life.
Control click 😊
@connerharris340 thanks!
ctrl + click
Also control + shift + click will force it to ignore affinity and just put in in the open tab, if possible.
Does setting the tab to a "set Price" for all, automatically start selling the items at that price? I noticed the price isn't on the item like other tabs
correct you sell the whole tab piece by piece then, good for dumping lots of stuff in

Dude before they put these on sale I litterly just bought premium, and guild quad. I feel so dumb
same
Only dumb people aren’t psychic
same lol, wasted 55 currency because I bought 3 tabs before sale: quad tab, gem tab and currency. F
they tend to do a sale every 1-2 months, some times even 50% off
They put them on sale every few weeks
Premium tabs also have a search function.
Sales normally happen every couple of weeks so dont worry about missing out.
Pretty sure every tab has a search function :-). Also sale is like 10 points off...thats 1 USD\EUR :-D
If you do ever plan on playing poe 1 , get the map , essense and fragment tab.
All tabs carry over and those have soo much value
Only tab that doesn’t work is the currencies one where on computer u can be on any tab and they will go there nope on ps5 u have to be on tab for it to work yet the gems tab works fine
how can i upgrade normal stash to premium bought two upgrades but it didt happen
I see map tabs on the website for sale, are those not the ones?
I think those are for path of exile One and we have to wait for the path of Exile 2 ones to come out is what I've heard
