This a guide for TOTAL Beginners in Path of Exile, and will help you get started on the right foot, understand your options when creating a character, and help you get past the first major hurdle all players face when starting to play the game - not running in horror at the first sight of the passive skill tree. This video on Getting Started is more of a new player orientation video that focuses on basic information and general principles, rather than telling you exactly what to do step by step.
Subsequent guides in this 4-part series will cover additional information and mechanics to help you beat the main story campaign completely on your own without using any build guides, help you get unstuck if you hit a wall in your progressions, and help you transition into the post-campaign endgame. Feel free to skip around between the videos as needed; links to each part will be down below as they come out.
This video is up to date for the 3.23 Affliction League of Dec. 2023.

* Although the game is technically free-to-play, there is a cash shop, and if you end up wanting to really get into the game, you're going to need to at least buy a couple of stash tabs. More on that in the 4th video.
Also, I really can't believe I was able to get the character name NewbieMcNewbSauce, who will return...

Honestly it's not that complex if you just want to finish the 10 acts. Just choose what kind of weapon you want to use, what kind of skills you'd find fun to use, and then just pick the big nodes on the passive tree that looks like it will help you with that.

I started the video thinking, 'maybe this game would be fun for my gaming group', and by the end, you had convinced me it would not. 'Ty it for the 10-20 hours some entire games last, then look into some actual new players guides to really get started' is possibly the most off-putting advice I've ever heard for a new player trying to get into a game. Not that the video was bad, it was quite informative. It just informed me that this game is not for me lol.

So, I loved this series. One critical thing you missed however, which you touched on, but a new player would think doesn’t go any deeper, is the built in tutorial tool tips. Basically most players don’t even realize (this included myself in spite of playing for years) that the help menu next to the skill slots is a veritable wiki/encyclopedia of game systems and gameplay mechanics that’s updated as the game introduces these new mechanics. I only discovered it myself recently from a video similar to yours which was made to help new players with the game. I would suggest you amend this video and expand the tutorial section to include the help menu and mention how it continues to expand as gameplay mechanics are introduced. Ggg does a great job of explaining the confusing elements of these new systems (such as incursion) and I think it’s super powerful knowledge to have as a beginner. On a side note watching through all of these as an experienced player really makes me question recommending this game yo anyone…. It’s so darn complex that these videos trying to make it easier for a new player, could easily turn them away if they watched the videos back to yo back because the game is just THAT complex and has just that much stuff to learn. This isn’t your fault whatsoever, I think you did great. It’s just POE is deeep.. thus why I’ve been able to play nearly 3 years now on the same character/same build on standard and I’m still going.

Sadly there's really no good way to go back in and edit something like that back into the video. Oh well!! But yeah - the game is definitely complex! That's really one of the things that I love about it, but I can totally see how that would turn off a lot of potential players. Lots of people just want a simple easy game to play, and PoE is anything BUT that!

@@salendrak yeah it’s complexity is really a double edged sword. If it didn’t have its complexity it wouldn’t allow players to play for so long and still keep them engaged. But it’s SO much for a new player that it can be more then overwhelming, especially if they’re exposed to the whole picture before they dive in. Usually that exposure happens at the skill tree and that’s only a part of the picture lol.

Heya, as a new player that just started, the only thing that would turn someone away I think is if PoE is just not their type of game. I havn't played many ARPG's before, but have played plenty of MMO's, MOBA's, and single player RPG games. So alot of the fundamental build knowledge is there where I understand what stats are probably best for different classes, and the Skill tree excites me with it's depth rather than scares me, since I know that the game will be massively customisable to what playstyle I want. It also helps with general mechanics like dodging enemy attacks, chugging flasks, and managing cooldowns. I go into the experiance with no attempt at min-maxing until I understand the game, it's not my job as a new player to learn the meta, it's my job to have fun and get hooked on the new game I'm playing

Second time I'm trying this game now. Personally I'm very happy I went with a build guide this time. No need to figure the skill tree out from the get go really opened up time to just enjoy the game itself and also allowed me to look at other things like gear and how currency can help you tweak the gear in a way that you can insert gems that you need. I see many people advice not to look up a build but after this experience I disagree. I'd advice to grab a guide, make sure it's made for beginners and once you get a basic understanding start tweaking things so you can see why build guides made things the way they made them.

@@salendrak They have been helpful to me. Especially the timestamps where I can jump to the part I am confused about. But they are helping me move along. My biggest worry is I just hope I don't get to the end only to find out the build I have in mind is bad. If I may make a suggestion, you might consider making videos about the side activities like the monster hunting, mines, and so on, and the rewards you can get from different activities, and maybe a video on where to go or what to do for certain materials, or what is the best way to get them. As an example, is there any certain best way to get Chaos Orbs, or are they 100% completely random? Thanks again for the videos.

@@thatguy9088 So I'm going to be completely honest - if this is your first character and you aren't using a build guide, chances are you'll be able to beat the campaign, but most likely will stall out pretty early as you start doing maps. The difficulty ramps up really fast in the endgame - that's just the way it is! BUT - making new characters, taking what you've learned from previous ones, is one of the best ways to learn the game, especially if you start following build guides. At some point I will probably make an overview of the various endgame activities you can do, farming strategies, etc, and will talk a bit about that in the video I'm currently working on. For the most part though, the best way to get good stuff is to just play the game, doing whatever you enjoy doing.

Thank you so much for these guides. I have played poe on and off for 6 years now, and this helps me get right back into the game. The biggest yes for me is your approach to non-guide skilling. "Get Guide" has, in my opinion, the same meme status as "Git gud" - the worst beginner's advice one can give, but the one that's thrown around the most often. The massive skill tree is THE defining catch for poe, I want to play PoE because I want to engage with that system and get creative with it. I'm not going to let a guide that tells me exactly how to spend my points take that away from me, and effectively remove more than half of what makes the game fun for me, even as a beginner. So your approach to guiding me towards right decisions without outright throwing a perfect build at me is exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers!
@salendrak
@salendrak 10 месяцев назад
I think that's definitely a better way to really learn the game, but at some point (like when you get stuck or something) it can definitely be informative to look at guides and other players builds. But at the end of the day - play how you want! So long as you're having fun, you're doing it right!

I would have originally suggested following a build guide on a challenge league for a new player, but when I think about all of the new people I've watched get into this game, I think your advice is better. It kind of doesn't matter what league you start on your first character with unless you're trying to meet up with friends or specifically play the newest content, and it's more important to do what's fun which as a new player isn't always what's successful or viable.

You gain my sub for actually recommending to try out the game first then get a build... instead of the usual "get a build" and play first.... I get the reason but it's just offputting sometimes to do that when starting a new game... at least for me. And it will be good if you might not clear the campaign fast because you skilled up wrongly except deter to some extent and maybe die a few times than being "right" on your build. EDIT: I would still prefer to start a game without having to look up videos though lol...
@salendrak
@salendrak 10 месяцев назад
I think a big part of the rationale behind the "must use build" mindset is that people assume that nobody can have fun playing the game if they aren't able to clear all the way to end-game content. Which personally I totally disagree with! Some people also seem to think that it would be a major tragedy for a character to hit a brick wall and be unable to progress any further. Personally, I've always been fine with that, as making a new character and trying again is a big part of the fun for me!
@YoshiroPoh
@YoshiroPoh 10 месяцев назад
@@salendrak Yeah, but I can understand the part where you feel you might not be able to progress further because of skill tree. If I can still clear the campaign without having optimal skill trees, I feel that the system is forgiving enough to let you experiment. Currently, for a casual Diablo Player, the cost of how to reverse the skill tree is the concern. Is it too expensive that replaying is better? that sort of thoughts. Because imagine playing for so long, and you can't even clear the main campaign.
