can i just buy 2 origin cores and beat divinity once i reach the tower to unlock the whole tree or do i need to follow the questline at least once?

Quest line first kill.

Then just buy what you need for second kill.

Currency is a must have imo. Waystone for endgame is very nice. Overkill for early mapping but comes in handy when u get 100s of waystones later on. Augment (previously called runes) and gem tabs are also very handy. Merchant tab for selling is a necessity as almost no one bothers with manual buying anymore, what a hassle that was.

Currency first. Then at least 1 Market stash if you plan on playing in the trade league and want to setup up a shop.After that its pretty much up to you, some people will say Map tab but thats overrated and expensive imo. You could go for Premium stashes or something like Augment stash.

As long as you have currency and market you are set for thousands of hours in the game 👍

Hi. I am playing Gemling arc totem and following this build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/arc-gemling-path-of-ky?weaponSet=set1&ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C78548ad8-71ba-4dfd-ae1b-a89b2628bec4

I have the split personality Templar jewel but still seem to be missing many passive tree skill points. Is there something in the build that grants them I am missing? Thanks!

Best guess with no info on your build is you didn’t use weapon set skill points correctly. The red and green are meant to be used by different weapon sets which is almost like getting 24 skill points for free.

Hey ive just downloaded the client, can anyone recommend me a starting build/class? im very familiar with poe1, so just not sure where to begin looking for starting resources

The most forgiving for learning the flow of 2 I found to be Plant Druid/Oracle. No build swapping needed, the skills you get throughout campaign remain your damage dealing skills at the top end, and it can do all content. Not overpowered so you’re not trivial using the game from the beginning. And it uses a few of the damage mechanics that you need to learn for future build making.

Mobalytics has an array of different starting and leveling builds for most any class and ascendancy, highly recommend.

What to put into Spellslinger as a Plant Oracle CoC Thunderstorm with what support gems.

Currently have entangle in it, but it doesn’t feel nice. I’d like something bursty - was thinking about bonestorm - is that a good idea and can it even work?

I have 300 currency coins from early access, how should I spend this to buy stash tabs? They are on sale. What type of tabs and how many of each should I get?

I believe one merchant and one currency tab are recommended
