Grinding Gear Games released the Early Access to Path of Exile 2 a fantasy, ARPG, hack and slay game in December 2024. This is a game where the name of the publisher is program. You are going to grind gear - and lots of it. And you're going to do this, by crafting and killing monsters - lots of them.
Sounds fun? Great! Feel free to browse around, to get to know some stuff I've look into, summarized or just took notes on.

Well I found out the expensive way. Stash Tabs bought on the Website / Computer Version are not available on PS. Well they are available but it seems like you cannot put something into these stashes. But you can remove items from them, I believe. I have to look deeper into this. But: When I bought a bunch of Quad Stash Tabs, only a couple of the ones I already had were renamed.
Btw this seems to apply to cosmetics and stuff as well - nope, I don't need them, except for the Breach Lord Killer Effect, which fits my Witch perfectly, I got a couple of them thanks to the supporter packs.
