POE2: Any starting tips?

I haven't played an ARPG since Diablo 3. I never tried PoE1 mainly because I was focused on other games, and I worried I had fallen too far behind to join later.

I purchased a supporter pack to gain early access and would like to know if there are any tips for a newcomer to ease into PoE2. I know this game offers a lot which can be overwhelming and would like to get as much enjoyment as I can out of it. I would like to stick around and enjoy this game for a long time.

Thanks.

wait until the stash tab sale to buy them, generally every 3 weeks. Not sure if that will be this weekend but most likely. the currency tab will be the most useful than probably maps/premium tab so you can sell things and you're gonna want more storage eventual
.

Learn how to read.

Create, tinker, learn, test on what's flowing on your mind
Create again, and tinker
Be the creator

And while doing that, keep in mind - the game is only going to be better with months passing by. More content, more ascendancies, more items, more gems for you to - create again, and tinker, and learn again

Occasionally, follow guides, only if you're learning the mechanics and the game, do not do it brainlessly

Then you will have the best gaming time in your life

I am not sure I follow. Is this to buy extra storage spaces/tabs?

Yep. This.

We're all going in just as blind as you are. A good chunk of we know simply won't apply to the new game. Enjoy the journey, soak up the vibe, and try all the things.

Let's gooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes. There are stash tabs for all kinda of specific things that hold way more than if you just stored them in a normal stash tab. Like with a currency tab it will stack upto 5000 of an item instead of the normal stack limit. And how trade/selling works is you can set a price in some kind of currency for things in your stash than it gets parsed by the trade site for people to view. There are tons of different kinds of currency not just gold. Currency does all kinds of things to modify items with some rarer than others

Yes he is right about the tabs but it's not important early game.

I think mainly you should just ensure you save your points and don't spend them right away until you know how stash tabs work, so you don't waste your points on useless stuff and feel bummed because you have to buy more points. It's also good to know that everything goes on sale frequently, so you can wait if you are low on points.
