How to Spot GOOD ITEMS in Path of Exile 2! Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 to identify very good items we need to First understand what makes an item good either for our class or for other classes let's take a look at the mercenary for starters here you can see that in the mercenary starting area on the passive tree we do have very easy access to armor and evasion this makes it so that generally speaking the mercenary is always going to stay armor
• 00:30 - 01:00 and evasion obviously this is um depending on which build you are really going for but generally speaking that's how you identify the main source of Defense when it comes to the mercenary let's take the sorc for example we are starting right here as the Sor and it's very easy to spot that the Sor for example has extremely easy access to maximum energy Shield increases which
• 01:00 - 01:30 then also means that the primary defensive U mechanic of the sorcery of the Sorceress can be the energy Shield of course there is going to be stuff like hybrids or stuff that completely break every rule in the entire game because that's just how Path of Exile works but as a rule of thump this is how you go about identifying good bases for your build if you have done step one then you can check out The Path of Exile
• 01:30 - 02:00 planner from Max roll which is going to be linked down in the description below and you can check the uh class right here I've just chosen the Witch Hunter and then when you click on the empty chest slot right here we get access to literally every base in the game for the body armors as we already said armor and evasion is extremely important for our mercenary doesn't matter if it's a gemling or a witch hunter so we filter by armor and evasion and here you can
• 02:00 - 02:30 now see literally every item base that exists in the game that has armor and evasion you can see the normal ones you can see the advanced ones and you can see the expert ones this only means that the normal ones have a little bit less of an base armor evasion rating compared to the advanced and the advanced have a little bit less than the expert so ideally you always want to find the expert ones and equip those but those only become available later but how do
• 02:30 - 03:00 you actually choose the correct base for your character in this case it is not so hard because you will either focus on an imp implicit that is extremely important to fix your character's problem for example like the cloaked males right here that actually bring fire cold and lightning resistance with them or if you just care about the highest armor and evasion rating for a character you would go and choose use the expert scale mail
• 03:00 - 03:30 this also means that basically every other of every other base type is going to be of less value to not only you but also to other players because why should in the end game a players spend their hard-earned currency for an advanced scale mail with 195 178 stats if they could also just go and get an expert scale mail with 294 and 268 armor and evasion rating respectively this
• 03:30 - 04:00 obviously makes an expert scale mail much more interesting for you to pick up while you are mapping and this obviously goes throughout the whole game not only for the hybrid bases but also if you're a sorc for example you are looking at the energy Shield bases and it's the exact same concept why should a player take an advanced alter rope if they could get an ex expert alter rope that also has a very strong implicit on top
• 04:00 - 04:30 therefore if you want to become better at picking up and identifying good items faster during mapping it's very important to look through all of the bases that you can find on the maxr planner so that you can memorize the best bases dropping currently we don't really have an easy access of configuring our own item filter which is going to be handled by never sync so all power to him that he is going to um
• 04:30 - 05:00 finish his filter blade doxyz so that we can actually do this inside of the filter automating the process until then you kind of have to at least a little bit memorize the highest energy Shield the highest evasion the highest armor and also the highest hybrid values if you want to not have to go back to town every time that you are mapping same actually lies to the weapons as well for
• 05:00 - 05:30 if we if we go back to the mercenary example we know that we need crossbows for our gas grenade build for example and it's the exact same Spiel again why would I buy an advanced bomber crossbow with the correct implicit if I could get an expert bombard crossbow that does around 10 to 15% more DPS just on a baseline this is very important to know and it is going to tremendously decrease
• 05:30 - 06:00 the time of you having to look and identify an item if it's actually good if you can memorize a couple of very good bases this is automatically going to translate in a much higher mapping speed because you're not picking up items that are not important now let's actually have a look at the game I have just ran a map and I have just stockpiled items that I found on the ground I haven't even um looked at them yet I have just identified them with
• 06:00 - 06:30 dorani so that you and me can take a look at the items here together and identify together if those are good or not since we have just now spoken about the bombard crossbow we know that we are very much so looking for an expert or Advanced bomber crossbow depending on where you are in your current player progression or character progression here I therefore picked up an Advanced
• 06:30 - 07:00 bombard crossbow just to show it to you guys that I have been able to identify a bombard crossbow on the ground therefore took it with me and now since I know that this one is a very highly sought after base I can actually start investing currency to see if I get lucky on the bombard crossbow base now it has done attack speed which since I am knowing the build is actually pretty nice to have so I can basically unlock the Next Step which would be augmenting
• 07:00 - 07:30 it now we have rolled accuracy rating which means that the prefix is full and since I want really high physical damage on my crossbow and the prefixes that provide the high physical damage are now already occupied by the accuracy rating I am not going to continue crafting on this crossbow so I can go ahead and sell it right here next up we have an expert scale mail which is completely white it
• 07:30 - 08:00 has no mods on it but if you remember back to the start of the video we have said that the scale mail is actually the highest armor and evasion rating base in the game therefore making it very nice to pick up and at least a try a transmute and maybe even an augmentation orb on to see how it's going to roll since we know that the scal mail has the highest armor and evasion rating we still want to increase that number with
• 08:00 - 08:30 stuff like percent increased armor and evasion maybe flat armor and evasion and since it's a chest we also always want to have Max life on there in terms of the scal mail and we also want to ideally hit resistances so now that we have this plan in our head we can now start first and foremost we picked up the scal mail because we knew how good the base is so we can now transmute this and see that we didn't get Super Lucky
• 08:30 - 09:00 on the first suffix actually T6 life regeneration isn't even that bad because we can still have two more suffixes which means that we have two more chances to get resistances on there let's take a look at how the prefix is turning out and that one is actually awful no one needs this you could now decide that you want to gamble a little bit on it which I'm going to do here for um the video sake and now you can see we actually got lucky and we have gotten another suffix on the item basically
• 09:00 - 09:30 enabling us to keep going with the craft on the expert scal mail now I personally wouldn't now continue with slamming Exile orbs on here but for the video sake let's just do it let's say the physical Thorns damage was life or armor and evasion then this would be a very easy target to increase the value by using your Exile ORS so right now when I'm looking at the item I still for the
• 09:30 - 10:00 suffixes need another resistance I basically always want to have resistances on the helmet on the chest on the gloves and on the boots and for the prefixes I really want to further increase the armor and evasion and I'm also looking for a life roll on the prefix so now we've slammed this on here we got dexterity which basically renders the item useless so we only got one resist on the suffix which means that is actually not going to be either usable
• 10:00 - 10:30 for me because I have a better chest with more resistances on the suffixes and looking at the prefixes that is the only thing that I can actually slam something on we also don't have a high chance of getting the armor and evasion rating very high because we already have a bad prefix on the item so this is also now a sell when we go to doriani and sell it then we have an item that I picked up and already identified because
• 10:30 - 11:00 I wanted to show you how to also identify stuff after you have picked them up we know that the advanced Vagabond armor is also a pretty good base not the very best base like the scale mail that we were talking about before but nonetheless a good item that might actually sell so from the stuff that we just now learned from the scale mail is that you want to increase armor and evasion if we are looking at the
• 11:00 - 11:30 prefixes right here you can actually see that we have rolled T2 increased armor evasion Max life and we rolled T4 increased armor and evasion which is great this is exactly what we want to have to Inc further increase the armor and evasion rating of the item the only problem with the item here again is that we only have one resistance the good thing though is we also have strength which d directly also transfers into
• 11:30 - 12:00 maximum life those 27 strength are and you can look this up right here in your characters menu are actually translating into 54 maximum life and also help you solve strength requirements for example so actually not at the worst stat for the suffixes whereas reduced ignant duration is something that we ideally wouldn't have wanted on the item so for the video sake I'm going to go and slam this item as well because because we are looking for a very high increased armor
• 12:00 - 12:30 and evasion base Edition or we want to find additional Max life on the prefix so what are we going to get when we slam this on here we actually got the flat armor and evasion rating T8 now looking at the item you can spot that the maximum life that it provides is not necessarily super high even if we factor in the 54 life coming from the strength
• 12:30 - 13:00 but this is definitely a very good um early to midgame item that can probably easily sell for like two three maybe even five exalts depending on how desperate a person is for lightning resistance High armor and high evasion for example so now that we look at this we have um accomplished the goal of increasing the armor and evasion rating quite a lot through our crafts because we got for example the T8 uh flat rolls
• 13:00 - 13:30 for armor and evasion right here that was very lucky and very good the T4 increased armor and evasion is also pretty high unfortunately the t2 up here at the very top wasn't super high and I would have also preferred a only Max life roll on here that would have turned the item actually extremely good also on the suffixes I would have Lov to get rid of the reduced ignor duration for another resistance which would have instant ly bumped up the price of the
• 13:30 - 14:00 item by quite a lot so I'm just going to throw it in here for 3x maybe someone buys that if after 2 three four 5 hours or the next day no one has bought this I'm either going to sell the whole tab uh to the vendor or I'm just going to throw them into the 1X stash maybe some um someone is going to buy it and that's totally fine for me then next up the superior expert bolstered Ms I know that the expert bolstered Ms are extremely good when it comes to the armor
• 14:00 - 14:30 themselves and you can check this again on the max roll planner and as the more often you do this you can actually memorize the good bases and I know for a fact that expert bolst ad mids is the second highest armor item on the glove slot only a thing that is a little bit higher is the molded mids so I definitely picked those up because not only do they have quality due to the superior attack but they're also expert bolers mid so uh for the video sake I'm again going to transmit this and our aim
• 14:30 - 15:00 is to increase the value of the the armor value of the gloves right here so we are again looking for uh increased armor increased life because we want to have increased life basically everywhere this obviously differs from build to build and then we are looking for uh resistances on the suffixes so now when we do this we have 36% increased armor which is definitely good but unfortunately the tier is not as high as
• 15:00 - 15:30 we would like to still I'm going to continue this we have gain life per enemy killed which is a suffix that we don't really need because again we really want to have resistances on the suffixes so right here I would actually say no thank you and I wouldn't continue the project here on the gloves so this is basically my thought process going through the loot when after I picked them up now I picked up this Advanced Voodoo focus and I can actually very quickly identify if this item is
• 15:30 - 16:00 going to be good since it's a focus we are more so looking at spell stuff spell stuff due to the top side starting area will usually also want to have high energy shield and depending on the build they also maybe want to Mana stack if we're looking at the item right here we do actually see that the prefixes like maximum Mana increased lightning damage and increased energy Shield are actually playing in exactly into the fantasy of
• 16:00 - 16:30 someone that would use a focus unfortunately though the suffixes are not really that great the critical he hit chance for spells is actually fine but the reduced attribute requirements are not as good so if I'm looking at this item I probably would say something like three five exal in the current system in the current market but there's actually a trick there is something that is going to be linked down in the description for you which is called sidekick and it's automatically going to
• 16:30 - 17:00 solve the problem of having to price an item like this correctly here when you press contrl D over the item the uh little menu is appearing here you can now pick the boxes that you want the sidekick to check for you on the trading website so as I said before it's a focus we are basically interested in energy Shield uh increased something damage and maybe the critical hit chance for spells
• 17:00 - 17:30 now when we click search we can actually see that someone right here has a pretty similar item to ours with the Ted boxes and they are selling it for four exils now when trying to price this item you're now further comparing the stats that you have for example the this person's maximum Mana is way higher than ours therefore making that item much more expensive much more usable then we
• 17:30 - 18:00 also have then on our item right here on the left side we also don't have a resistance further decreasing the value but the good thing is we still have an open suffix so maybe someone would like to slam um a suffix in here and basically try their luck so I would just go here and usually I wouldn't even price the item at all but for the video sakes I would just go here price the item for one exalt put it in in here and then maybe someone is going to find it
• 18:00 - 18:30 then last but not least jewelry extremely important to basically always pick up if you find an amethyst ring white blue rare always pick those up because chaos resistance is extremely hard to come by and therefore extremely valuable so now I have a stout unset ring which is not necessarily the best base but I had to pick up a ring for you to show this to you now it actually rolled with maximum life um from the
• 18:30 - 19:00 get-go which means that is basically worth trying my luck right here at least with a with an orc orb should actually be worth the thing now you can actually see we rolled plus five to all Elemental resistances and if we go back to our initial topic we want to fill suffixes with resistances so looking at this ring it actually makes it super good in terms of the prefixes and suffixes sure it could have been a better Base by being
• 19:00 - 19:30 an amethyst ring by being a ring with an implicit that grants resistances but nonetheless this one is actually worth a Regal or to continue the craft now with the gain three Mana per enemy killed as a T1 I not really happy and now it's for you to decide if you want to maybe sell the item again contrl D check out how the uh what the market says for a plus 65 Max life plus 5 to all Elemental
• 19:30 - 20:00 resistance ring and then you could decide do I maybe want to sell it for one exal you could just go and uh do that right here and therefore um sell it in your stash tab or if you say you know what I'm feeling a little bit lucky today you could keep slamming the item but for this item I would actually advise heavily against it because well while the prefix is really good with T5 maximum life for I don't know people that are are just now starting out Maps
• 20:00 - 20:30 or are basically level 70 75 or so this Max left value will probably already be quite good the problem here though even though we rolled plus five to all Elemental resistances is that we have already two suffixes and both of them are actually T1 Rolos which obviously drastically decreases the value of the item so I would just go here maybe I I wouldn't price it I would just sell it but for the video sake we just put it here in the one X and we're basically
• 20:30 - 21:00 done with the inventory now if I'm going to open up a new map for you guys to spot right here let's just take this one and Traverse into the next map during mapping all of this comes together so we can actually go through the map and apply all of the stuff that we have learned right now so if I'm going to encounter a pack of enemies right here with all of the learnings that we have from coming from the video especially when I'm encountering a rare I I am basically being greeted by a lot of
• 21:00 - 21:30 items at the same time this is a lot of currency which makes it so that I really uh that you don't really have to think as much so obviously you pick up the currency and we have an advanced alter rope which again is not expert so if you don't have um an advanced alter rope and that would actually be an upgrade for you you obviously pick this up but for me um I don't firstly I don't need an alter rope and secondly I also don't uh want to sell this
• 21:30 - 22:00 because it's not an expert base so now I just keep going I know Advanced vizard Helm is actually okay but the shielded Helm is actually the better base that is going to ring that is going to uh roll higher so not only is it not expert but it's also not the highest armor evasion base which makes it so that I'm not going to pick it up same applies right here to the advanced M Crow I'm basically going to ignore it obviously I am not standing um that long and mouse
• 22:00 - 22:30 overing over every uh item to make that distin to to be able to make that distinction but for the video sake I'm trying to explain literally all of the thoughts that go into deciding do I want to pick this up or not now let's actually kill this next pack as well so we are uh so we can do this in silence and here we actually have very interesting stuff we do have the expert Gothic staff and we do have the expert
• 22:30 - 23:00 crackling staff here you can see that there is a lot of lightning damage on this one it's an expert staff so I'm going to pick it up and we have the expert Gothic Quarter Staff which I'm also um going to pick up because I know that that's a really really highly sought after base so maybe when we go and identify the items after the map we are going to get lucky and we can get some high fist rolls on there for example and then maybe actually buy um then actually maybe sell the item here you can see there's an advanced alter
• 23:00 - 23:30 rope but I absolutely do not care about it because for my progression where I'm at I only really want to look at the expert basis in the first place in case there is an for example Advanced crossbow I could maybe think about picking that up but generally speaking for my point of progression I don't really care about the ex about the advanced bases anymore obviously if you are a little bit earlier in the progression you would pick those up I'm looking at the items here chiming
• 23:30 - 24:00 stuff Advanced if I see that I don't really care again obviously all of the uh all of the uh again obviously all of the currency items I'm going to pick up we do have expert gaus WS which is actually an evasion energy Shield base we have expert silk slippers which I'm going to pick up and then I'm going to go get the gold we have advanced intricate gloves that I could use to for example Salvage because they have a socket or if I would need need a um
• 24:00 - 24:30 Regal shot I could take that out or identify those and sell them for some gold so I'm going to do exactly that and so that I can remember that I'm just going to sell those regardless so that I don't need to double check this I'm going to put them here to the right side which is something that I usually do when I have a very good item or I have an item that is basically um completely irrelevant I'm putting that to the right side and it's very easy for me to distinguish between a very good item and
• 24:30 - 25:00 an almost uh and an almost useless item when I just want to sell it for gold and that's basically how I go through the map basically just killing the monsters every time they pop out some stuff like an expert varnish crossbow I know expert that's good varnish crossbow is okay so we could try our luck right here let's say the map is now finished and we have uh completed the uh all and completely killed all of the rares inside of the map then I would actually zone out and
• 25:00 - 25:30 then control click on dorani so that all of the items get instantly identified now I can start looking at the items again now we remember the crackling Quarter Staff that we had we do want to have additional lightning damage on here we definitely don't want to have accuracy rating the Mana per enemy killed is okay just for science we could throw a Regal or on on here to keep basically judging the item actually not that bad because T9 fist is
• 25:30 - 26:00 definitely something that you can keep slamming exiled orbs in or again you press contr d uh tick the fixes that you want to compare so for example physical damage right here because that's really only the only one that we care about and then we can see that um we could sell this base for one Exile then again uh right here the uh Gothic staff that we picked up we really wanted to have high physical damage since we already have a pretty low prefix that is fire damage
• 26:00 - 26:30 and a pretty low suffix that is uh leest life we don't really care about the item at all so we can actually sell the item we can also sell the item that we put to the right side so we don't have to think about it anymore then when looking at Boots next I ideally want to see crazy stats on the prefix or the suffix to even be able to consider exalting those or or regaling first and then exalting or they would have to have movement speed in this case we actually have very
• 26:30 - 27:00 nice maximum life and we also have fire resistance which basically qualifies the item for me to Regal that now we're looking for more resistances and we're looking for movement speed on the prefix right here it's actually a little bit tricky on the boots spot on the boots uh specifically because boots basically always need to have movement speed as a prefix if they don't have that they are completely useless so it's up to you now
• 27:00 - 27:30 do you feel a little bit lucky and you think you can in two more prefix attempts for example slam the necessary movement speed on there or again you do controll D and take the max life and the double resistances and actually take a look at other people's items here you can see that there is an item that does not have movement speed just like ours and they're selling it for one Exile so right now for you it's up to decide do
• 27:30 - 28:00 you want to gamble a little bit maybe slam movement speed on there or resistances or just get rid of it for one exalt to give another person the chance to slam the stuff um I personally don't care let's do it for science right here we got a stun threshold on the prefix together with the increased energy Shield which is not that bad but makes it definitely less appealing because the chances of actually getting movement speed on here are way way smaller obviously the suffixes could be
• 28:00 - 28:30 could turn out kind of good let's actually keep going we got maximum energy Shield right here which is not really a bad stat per se but they blocked the prefix and we now can't roll and now we can't exal slam movement speed here anymore which basically completely breaks the item we can take a look at what the um sidekick says when we take all the stuff that is pretty good we can actually see that we have been a little bit too strict so if we now get rid of the 42 maximum energy
• 28:30 - 29:00 Shield right here we can see that it's still one exal so I would just go here put it in the one ex all Tab and then go next here we can see lightning resistance on the gloves that we picked up T3 suffix that's not even that bad definitely use one of the augments on here to see what it's going to roll again if you remember uh we have some Mana stacking going on so this could actually be good for those but the problem there is that they probably don't need an evasion rating or energy
• 29:00 - 29:30 Shield base so this one is kind of a gamble I actually wouldn't consider um continuing the craft and then on the expert vanish crossbow we will actually try our luck see how it goes when we have reduced attribute requirements it's basically already dead um after we slammed T1 fire damage on there this one is completely dead so this also goes to doriani and I also sell the other stuff because for the video sake uh I only pick those up and I don't really care about those but this is basically how
• 29:30 - 30:00 you go and move through the map and then through your inventory again it's really important to have a look at the planner to check out all the bases right here that are available to learn at least a little bit which of the bases are good and usable and also which of those are not really important for the amulet um I basically pick up every amulet in the entire game because it's really important to have a um good amulet and
• 30:00 - 30:30 most of the people don't really care about the implicit that much especially earlier on um when they can have a very good uh amulet they can roll plus to all level of projectile skills for example tremendously increasing the value of the amulet same applies to rings I basically also pick up every ring because they can turn out very good especially amethyst rings or stuff like the the um Prismatic rings are highly sought after because
• 30:30 - 31:00 they can easily solve the elemental resistance problems for you if you have further questions I am live right now on Twitch the link is going to be down in the description and also in the pin comment below and if you don't want to miss out on content similar to this make sure to subscribe to this YouTube channel and I'll see you
