Pardon my super early game ignorance!

SUPER EARLY GAME SPOILERS

I slayed the Bloated Miller and arrived at Clearfell. I am a Monk. I have the Falling Thunder attack. I also have an unused Ore of Transmutation, and an Ore of Augmentation. QQ: Am I able to use those on the generic Quarterstaff I have, and if so, should I do it or will a better staff be found soon? I hear that drop rates can be rough. I would like to get a feel for how judiciously I should use things, or how stingy I should be.

You can use them if you want to test them out. They are very common crafting materials.

When logged into the Website (and having linked my PSN Account to my PoE account) I can't see my PS5 PoE2 chars.
When I click on Path of Exile 2 Early Access on the right side it says 'Your account does not have access to Path of Exile 2 Early Access. Bribe a friend who has a spare key or purchase now.'

But I have Access and been playing and accepted a guild donation through the website because the coins didn't show up and someone here mentioned I have to accept them through the site.

Is the char functionality not there yet on the site or is there a solution without contacting support since they will be overwhelmed enough right now?

Found a pretty good minion hat.

Resistances are very important in this game and the cap is 75. If you have less than that, fire/cold/lightning/chaos dmg can one shot you.
 
I am reconsidering joining this guild of free good loot and not having to play with people.

Weird that you have to friend/guild character names instead of the account name? Can each character join a different guild or something?

Anyway my (excellent) character names are:
QueenKamala (witch)
SenseiKreese (monk)

Humbly submitted for a potential invite.

Also question.... am I doing it right? Most areas I'm TPing like 4+ times back to town in order to identify, sell/disenchant/mash with hammer basically everything I find. I see there's a 'filter' thing in the options that I guess loads in a file that you'd download from somewhere... at what point do I consider looking into that, or just starting to ignore ground loot that isn't very valuable. Can I just start ignoring any 'white' loot?

Use them as and when you want, transmutes and augs are pretty common so it's easy to take a white base to a blue with a prefix and a suffix - regals are harder to come across (convert blue to yellow) and exalts are much rarer (add another affix to a yellow). During act 1 feel free to use transmutes/augs as much as you like, every magic item disenchants into 1 transmute shard, so anything you pick up that you don't need you can disenchant to keep up your stock of transmute orbs (Una is the vendor to disenchant magic/rare items)
 
I am at act 3 now and also did my ascension as well, this time without getting hit (too much lol).
Spammed my totem at the boss, it's my best friend. :D
I think I have to do something about my dmg output. I fought the act 2 end boss for a minimum 30 minutes, it took so long and barely got him but still first try.

Love this game, and this is just one class so far.
Just find it bs that I have to pay for bigger stash.

What do you guys think are essential stash tabs to get? I did not play a lot of PoE1 (just a story playthrough), and did not buy anything there. I was looking at the options and some seem very useful, but I am just starting.

I'm personally waiting on a sale to get some. I'm level 40 and have 2 tabs completely empty rn, I think more tabs will be important for endgame (like the currency tab that let you keep 5k of each currency instead of stacks of 50 that can take some room fast).

Those advices seem ok:

I can't see my PoE2 characters on their website, just PoE1. I think the functionality isn't there yet.

My cross progression is working and my accounts are linked and everything's good
 
Is having +28 increased rarity items worth it early game or should I just be using power leveling gear? Sometimes I find myself holding onto older gear because it has magic find.

PC and PS5? Are MTX working cross platform yet? I am still hoping Sony changes their policy.

Is there a way to increase the amount of loot you can hold on your character? I didn't play PoE1, and I pick 4 or 5 items and I’m full and I have to keep going back to town to sell.
There must be a quicker way of doing this. Is it possible to send items directly to you stash?

Good post. I'm waiting before I reach the endgame to see what I'll need, don't want to waste them. That or if I ever give up on the game (which I doubt, I love it so far) I'll just give it to the guild.

Not really...That's kind one of the game loops of this genre...You will learn to be picky with what you will pick up from the ground. Later one you will have to use loot filters.

Not that I know of. Maybe they will make it bigger before full game is released but who knows.

As refunding passives starts to get a bit expensive for me at lv 40:

I used the maxroll skill planner:

I'm going for a crit/shock build with fast shield recovery on my Monk, no idea if it will be ok for endgame but I'm having fun leveling.

Ok I have one more question before bed, if I may... (Thank you for being patient with me!)

On the map screen, there is a chest icon above the Clearfell town. Am I meant to get to that yet and if so, how/where?

Awesome tool, thanks for posting that. Gonna use it to plan my monk. You plan looks pretty close to what I was planning on doing. Wanted to get all the way over to that big chunk of quarter staff nodes at the end.

Those things around the map locations are in the key. So there's bosses (skulls), nice treasure chests, loot pouches and stuff to be had by exploring the full map.

Once you find it on the map the icon will become grey, like when you kill bosses.

Don't bother with Titan's Treasure in Act 2 it looks like it's bugged.

So what’s the better stat to build up for monk? As of now I’m trying to do dex and int evenly.
For my build I put everything in dex on the +5 nodes but get some +10 strength and intel bonuses from special nodes like Tenfold Attacks and For the Jugular.
But I try to keep 1 passive point unused in case I need more strength or intel for a support gem.
I may need to put more intel for rank XIII skill gems but it's level 52 so I have time.
I try not to take stuff bonuses into account for that, I had skills in red once because of it (lost intel from a piece of armor).

Hmm I might be missing something but it doesn't seem like upgrading the quality of a staff(or wand/focus) does anything? There's no damage on them since it seems to only come from spell level and the stats don't change when upgraded. Also the tooltip even omits saying anything about a staff/wand.

Did you use that?

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Jobless and without kids is my guess lol
I've put 50 hours since release (no kids nor wife and on vacation) and I'm not even level 50. :goog_relieved:

My guess is no sleep + coke and red bulls, no other possible way.
