poe2helper.com - a web price-checking tool with junk modifier filtering and automatic group creation

A while back, I was trying to find a tool to quickly price-check items on the PoE2 trade site by finding similar ones. Surprisingly, there wasn’t anything out there (at least nothing simple that didn’t require installing stuff on your PC), which was kind of annoying. So I decided to just build something myself - a web-based tool that does exactly that and is safe and easy to use.

It doesn’t just copy stats - it also filters out junk mods, creates COUNT groups for some stats (resists, attributes, etc.), and calculates weapons DPS.





I’ve been using it myself and found it pretty handy, so figured I’d share it here in case anyone else finds it useful too. If people like it, I’ll definitely keep improving it and adding features.


Main features:
- No need to install anything — just open the site and go
- Paste item info (Ctrl+C in-game), configure search options, and click the Search button
- Creates COUNT groups for some mods. For example, if the item has fire resistance, it will create a COUNT group with all 3 resistances
- Filters out useless mods by default (like thorns or accuracy), but you can enable them if needed
- You can choose how strict the search should be (lenient, moderate, or strict). It will affect the value range of modifiers and attributes.
- Handles reduced/increased modifiers correctly. Sometimes, the game shows that an item has a reduced value, while in reality, it is an increased modifier with negative values. So, I also tried to handle such cases
- Correctly selects modifiers that have the same description in the game.

What’s next:
- Show search results directly on the website (but the option to launch the search on PoE2 Trade will also stay)
- Add feedback/reporting directly on the site

Still a work in progress, but feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think! Feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated 🙏

Hello everyone!
I'm excited to share a major update.
I've added a customization section! This is a really powerful change, and I want to describe it a little bit more:

- Now you can modify values and select or deselect any attributes or modifiers before launching the search. For example, you can select what type of damage to include in the search.



- All item attributes are parsed, but by default, I've tried to enable only the most meaningful ones. However, if you need to, you can easily enable anything with a single click and include it in your subsequent search. For example, attributes in the "Requirements" section are disabled by default, but you can enable Level or stat requirements if needed.



- Modifiers are now divided into meaningful groups and a "Junk" group. I've tried to put only less useful modifiers into the "Junk" group, but again, if you need something specific from there, you can enable it manually. This is done to make searching easier, but because PoE2 is a very versatile game, there can be use cases when a "Junk" modifier is exactly what needs to be enabled.



- Additionally, you can see and customize modifier groups. For instance, in the picture below you might see two "COUNT" groups that were created automatically. Often, the specific type of resistance or stat attribute on an item doesn't significantly impact its price, so grouping them like this can make your search more efficient.



- The strictness selector now has a hint indicating how much the min and max values change. When you select a strictness level, you'll see how values are adjusted before starting the search. If you don't like the automatically calculated values, you're free to change any value manually. For those unfamiliar, if an attribute value is 10, a "Strict" strictness setting will calculate the min value as 9 and the max value as 11.



Also:

- Updated parsing logic: better modifier grouping, new mods and items are supported. I will continue updating the parsing logic, so if you have any considerations, feel free to suggest.

- Updated UI

For those who tried other web tools and got frustrated by waiting times because of Trade API restrictions, I want to specify that my tool uses a special technique that allows it to overcome this limitation. So you can use it without worrying that heavy usage by other players will stop the tool from working.

I will continue working on this tool, and the next major update will come after several weeks. I plan to display search results directly on my website instead of redirecting to PoE2 Trade (but this option will also stay available). I’m really looking for how to improve this tool. If you have any ideas, please write them here.
