I wanna try negative rarity farm on my temple. But my temple has a 600 plus rarity of items dropped. Is this going to be a problem?

I saw a poster discussing cheap builds and expensive builds, and another wrote that they could make their new build because they had extra resources on hand.

I'm a new player and I'd like to know what makes a build cheap or expensive? Don't we just play and have fun and level up and find gear and choose passives to invest in? What currency are these posters referring to when they talk about cheap and expensive builds?

Iv noticed that without the currency stash tab from the store, your unable to buy items over 1500 div. I can only have 1 tab with the currency affinity which that’s the tab ange will determine your currency amount. Is there truth to this or am I just an idiot?

I’ve had a look through poeninja and I’m looking for how viable a ranged melee hybrid build is. Or anything that uses more than 1 skill.

Is there a term for a character build that emphasises lots of skills in conjunction rather than just 1 skill that does 99B damage.

I bought POE2 yesterday but want to start a build that will be varied enough to give me a taste of each mechanic in the game.

My idea was an Amazon with a spear/offhand sceptre or buckler with weapon set 2 being a bow.

Originally I wanted to use witch Hunter to achieve this but I dont see many builds utilising the “weapon master” node without just using 2xbows.

Any other varied builds that follow a similar idea would be appreciated.

Or just advice on how to search for these kind of builds! Thanks!!!

As shown in the screenshot, looks like you can add quality to unique skill gems. Does anyone know how to do it? I try to apply a gemcutters and it does nothing.

If I wanted to give away an item i found because i'll never use it, does that break the rules?

After completing the campaign and reaching maps, and gathering materials, do new playthroughs become easier because of those materials?

Is there a trick or perk to summoning circles I’m missing? I don’t mind them, but usually I just melt the boss and get middling rewards even with high rarity maps. Is there anything else to them, like rare drops or bosses that can be triggered, or is it just a dead end feature that’s not fully developed?

I'm currently running an Infernalist (Lvl23) Minion Witch build. Between the Tame Beast and Spectre skills, is there a way to get an army of lizards, gators, and/or dinosaurs? Would I want to run a different class/ascendancy for a beast-centered playstyle?

So I've found a few builds on PoE Ninja that have their passive tree set up with weapon set skill points but they're not using a secondary weapon setup, trying to figure out what the benefit of that would be. If you lock your primary setup are you still able to somehow utilize the weapon set passives?
