Path of Exile 2 Tools

On December 6th, 2024 Path of Exile 2 is launching into its first Early Access league. As such I am starting to accumulate links to various tools being maintained by the community, and felt that I needed a place to list them. Things are going to be extremely fluid in the coming months as much of this information has been datamined from screenshots up to this point. Once the game launches, we will hopefully have access to the API and get more structured information. All of that said, take everything currently available with a grain of salt. Since it is a challenge to sort things out currently, for the time being I am just going with a list of links. As the community and its tools evolve I will update this at a later date.

Path of Exile 2 Relevant Links

• Path of Exile 2 Official Site
  • Right now what is currently available here is pretty spartan, but I expect more features to be added during the course of early access testing.
• POE2.Ninja
  • POE.Ninja is one of the most useful sites for Path of Exile. This is the beginning of trying to build a similar site around Path of Exile 2. Right now it only catalogs the highest progressed builds in the game, but hopefully at some point in the future it will also track item prices like the POE1 site does.
• POE2 Scout
  • POE2 Scout is a website that tracks current prices for items on both the in game trading market and the currency exchange. It currently seems to have more complete information than POE2.Ninja does.
• Craft of Exile II
  • Currently, this gives some basic functionality mirrored off of the way that crafting works in Path of Exile 1. As we progress into Early Access a number of projects will be spawned by the community in order to vet some of this data.
• POE2DB
  • This is a branch of the original POEDB website, specifically attempting to gather all of the known information about items currently gleaned from the information leading up to Early Access. Has known item information as well as quite a bit of information about specific abilities and some screenshots of the trees. I expect this to improve drastically.
• Filterblade/Neversink
  • There isn’t really anything here yet, but it has already been stated that Neversink is going to build filters to support Path of Exile II. I noticed that there is a game argument in the URL, so in theory we should start seeing information from Path of Exile II showing up a little bit after Early Access goes live.
• Exiled Exchange 2
  • This is a continuation of the Awakened POE Trade overlay that allows you to do price checks while in game. There are a few different tools that do this sort of functionality but after testing many this one seems to be the most robust.
• Path of Building for POE2
  • This is a version of the Path of Building tool that works with Path of Exile 2.
• ARPG Guide Sites
  • Maxroll.GG Path of Exile II Section
    • There is not a ton of information here save for some of the same screenshot-based information that everyone seems to have. However, as the game progresses through early access more proper guides will begin to show up here.
  • Mobalytics Path of Exile II Section
    • This was a new site to me, but they managed to snag a number of popular POE streamers to create guides and content for them. It will be interesting to see how this competes with IcyVeins and Maxroll.
• Path of Exile 2 Reddit
  • This one is a bit odd because the bulk of the information on the Path of Exile reddit is related to POE2 at the moment, but there is also a spun-off POE2-specific one. I expect as the Early Access continues and we enter a new POE1 League cycle, that these two will further diverge.
• Path of Exile 2 Builds Reddit
  • Similarly, a copy of POEBuilds has spun off specifically for Path of Exile 2. POEBuilds was always one of the lower-drama places to discuss build craft, so I am hoping that the POE2 variant continues down this path.

I will of course be blogging about my own journey through the game and as such you can find the most recent posts below.

  I’ve been really impressed with my Minions build so far. At the moment, I seem to be able to just do some big chill mapping, as I am now making my way into yellow maps. Essentially, I just walk around casing flame wall, which then summons my raging spirits, while my snipers and vaal guards…

  Good Morning, Folks. I did not blog yesterday because the entire day was a hot mess. I did not sleep Monday night due to severe nausea, and then spent Tuesday mostly attempting to make up for that fact with several naps. Chemo is some bullshit, do not recommend.
