Hello,Exiles! This is Ryan here to share some poe items tips for beginners regarding Skill Points for the PoE Passive Skill Tree, Skill and Support Gems and Weapons for your characters. Let’s dive into it!
Do Quests to Earn Skill Points!
Skill Points are the currency needed to navigate the Passive Skill Tree. If you want to survive Wraeclast in one piece, you’ll have to upgrade your passive skills wisely and tailor it to both your play style and to your character’s strengths. Normally, you earn skill points from levelling up, but you can also earn a few from quests! Here are two notable quests to keep in mind:
At the start of the game, Tarkleigh tells you of a fearsome beast known as “The Dweller of the Deep”, located in the Flooded Depths. To access this area, head down to the lowest level of The Submerged Passage (don’t forget a Sapphire Ring for cold resistance!); there, you’ll find the entrance. Defeat the Dweller of the Deep (easy if you’ve been allocating passive skills and leveling up gems consistently) and return to town for your skill point!
Near the end of Act 1, you’ll find yourself in “The Ship’s Graveyard,” hunting the Siren Merveil. Mid-way through the area, you’ll run into Captain Fairgraves, marooned thanks to a slave girl. He asks you to find the Allflame that was stolen from him. There’s a cave near the waypoint that you can enter and travel through to find the dead girl holding said item. Turning it into the wayward captain, he explains that the flames need life to continue burning, and decides to take yours to accomplish that!
After reaching the Prison for the first time, a quest notification will pop up telling you to return to Lioneye’s Watch for some assistance. In town, Nessa will hand you your first Support Gem! These items bestow supporting effects on your skill gems when equipped in linked slots on weapons and armor. Some effects include adding a chance to ignite enemies, summoning a totem that will use the linked skill, added elemental damage or adding debuff effects to skills. These are invaluable, especially for the fight against Brutus at the top of the prison, so get your hands on these as soon as you’re able to!see more
