Noob question about Stash Tabs, for PoE1 and PoE2, which ones to buy for 300?

Hello guys, I'm completely new to PoE (2 days playing),

I am very confused about stash tab purchases, I got PoE2 and 300 currency, I wan't to use it wisely. I am currently playing PoE1 and PoE2, and enjoying both, my question is:

- Which MTX / Stash tabs to buy for my 300 coins?

- How important is Maps Tab?

I could be trading in both poe 1 and poe 2, but it looks that poe1 dont have merchants tabs, so should i get just premium tab quad or merchant tab x1 and premium tab x1, whats your recommendation?

So far i have bought only currency tab

Only buy when it’s on sale. Currency, merchant & some extra tabs these improve your experience a lot and after that buy whatever u feel like

When you want to get more coins for tabs in the future, buy a supporter pack of you can. You get the same amount of coins as if you’d bought just the coins, so think of it as free MTX when you buy coins.

Wait for stash tab sales. Pick up a currency tab, map tab, and a premium tab. Quad tabs are great as well if you have extra.

Someone mentioned it but Stash Tabs go on sale about every other weekend if you don’t mind waiting

Yes, merchant tabs work in both PoE1/PoE2, so you only have to buy once for both games

Tab importance: Currency > Maps > Fragments (poe1 only) > uniques > everything else

Currency 1st, maps 2nd. Then 1 merchant tab and as many premium tabs you can get. btw most tabs you buy you can use in both games. /there are few specific tabs that doesn't come over to other game.

Next stash tab sale is in 7.5 days. You can check the timings at https://poe2db.tw/ fyi. I'd just use the currency tab until you get your bearings. Stash tab sales are every 3 weeks. Currency, Map, and Merchant tabs would be my first 3 purchases.

Thank you guys, you've been great help. I couldn't find this information in any video, ai, google search, i guess merchant tabs are relatively new

There are only 2 necessary tabs.

  1. Map tab
  2. Currency tab

I believe you get one merchant tab for free, and honestly to start that is enough. More is nice for sure but absolutely not necessary as beginner.

I have every other tab in the game and they are just hoard tabs. Just don't pick up junk and always sell your junk like essences in the exchange if you dont have an essence tab etc..

Always buy on sale, i can only give advice for PoE1 tabs but personally

Currency>Merchant>Fragment>MapTab(Although this might be useless with the new map system)>Quad/Regular premium, the others are just nice to haves and not really that impactful imho
