2023 Guide to Stash Tabs & the In-Game Store - Path of Exile POE

thx for the info

The most important thing to note is that if you're going from Xbox or Playstation to PC or vice versa, you lose all your purchases because they don't transfer between platforms.

such great explanation and analyses for new players. ty so much for helping out!!

New player here ty for this video, helpful!, also got a sub from me, ive come from Diablo V :)

A hoarder's perspective: Flasks and Gems are very nice for me personally. Unique tab is infuriating, I wish it had some way to deal with the affinity/duplicate issue.

Meta, delve, blight and Delirium I can indeed forget about, even AS someone who is neither frugal nor casual.

What happens to stash items when a new league starts ? Everything gets removed or what ?

Ive spent over $100 in this game but the prices are a bit outrageous. I try to think about how much i like the game and try to gauge what i think its worth to me. I know ill get $100 out of the game so I'm happy to support the devs. Havent bought nothing more than tabs but i have 800 left but dont know what to spend it on. The cosmetics are out of this world expensive. I mean a full body suit for nearly $100 real money😂 a helmet with over $40 price tag lol ridiculous

Wow best video with regards to Stash Tabs, you got a sub!!! Came back to PoE after almost 10 years, I am having loads of fun, probably the best ARPG ever played!

Great video, thank you!

thanks a lot! really good info and you explained everything

Just want to make a slight correction. The First Blood Supporter Pack only gives you an extra stash tab, not a premium stash tab. Otherwise, great video, thankyou.

This is actually great advice. Comprehensive and easy to follow. Thanks dude!

me, trying to spend less money on poe GGG, Stash tab sale

This is quality content! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into making this for all players new and older.

awesome vid man! thnx a lot! amazing explanation

Thanks for this. Very informative

This was very helpful as a brand new player I was confused seeing these tabs in videos and now I know what is actually worth it to get… thank you!

I do personally find the blight tab useful but thats purely because I like blight a lot: this results in a LOT of oils (which dont stack above a measly 10), and I like the extra utility of being able to not mix in blighted maps with my other maps.

As for the unique tab, its more for collectors, or people that like to hang on at least one copy of every unique in case they need it in the future. (sad that i dont think it has 2 slots for unique rings or weapons in case you need a pair)

also worth mentioning that quite a few fragments (usually those you need to stack to 100 to get an useful item, like splinters) CAN be stored at the bottom of the currency tab.

Ok didn't want to watch a 14 minute video.. my question is simple were is the in game shop located ????? Awesome video thanks.

Great video , thanks for all the info!

I don´t know how much I spend so far on Poe but I can safely say that even if poe would shutdown tomorrow that every cent spend was worth if for the fun I had in the game.

your videos are always short & sweet, tnx alot mate

This is the most important video I could have watched on the game when I first started. I went up to 94 without having any tabs and it was complete hell.

For Metamorph, If you spec into it on the tree you can fill a regular 12x12 tab with organs and catalysts an hour. This is because catalysts only stack to 10 in a normal tab, but in the metamorph tab, it stacks to 5000. I farmed it for a few hours and had a few hundred organs and over a thousand catalysts. That would have required a quad tab(24x24) to fit everything. When the tab is on sale, it's 30 points or roughly 3USD. If I were to fill it up, that's 50,000 catalysts or 5,000 slots in a quad tab. A Quad tab is 24x24 or 576 slots. The catalyst alone would require 10 quad tabs to hold. IMO for anyone who plays metamorph for even 1 single day should get the metamorph tab.

At this point in the game i wish they would make an expedition and a heist stash tab we could buy, i hate having 4 stash boxes in my hideout. I get the backlash back when the metamorph, blight, deli tab came out but give us an option to buy for the ones we have to keep another giant stash box in our hideout. I would much rather just pay 5 bucks to convert that into a tab and keep everything under one roof.

Currently focusing on metamorphs and the metamorph tab can only hold 50 of each body part and that is not enough. FeelsBadMan

Nice content

I find Unique, Flask, and Gem tab specifically really good only for the Guild stash.

I just bought my maps tab and wish I had done it earlier

Some more info I think you should include for new players is you can upgrade the tier of a supporter pack without having to pay from zero every time. So say you don't have much and can only get the 30 one when you start playing but you happen to have another 30 before the league ends. Then you can pick the option to upgrade and you get the difference in points so you are never wasting your money by starting off smaller and building up unless the league ends and they remove it. You can connect support before a pack is removed and work out something to still be able to buy it down the road after it is removed with a payment plan or something.

Convenience is the key here for all the special tabs. Even if I could dump all the div cards into one quad tab, the special div tab is so much more convenient that I would never use normal tabs for it. Same for "bad" tabs like the Metamorph. That tab holds all the organs and catalysts in neatly organized manner. I can easily see how many different organs I have etc.
All the special tabs are thus useful if you are interested in that content. If you don't care about metamorph, then obviously it's not worth it, but if you run it, then it's absolutely useful.

I find the essence tab mandatory , after the div cards,it includes some pay to win benefits as well

Nice vid

Great video really like the message at the end to help ppl be more responsible with their money 👍

i have all tab .flask and gem tab is the most useless one in my opinion .currency and fragment tab is a price of full game. all tab that can up grade currency improve your quality of life a bit.

You have been killing it with all these awesome videos. Glad to see someone working so hard to help the community and not just showcase how 'good' they are!

And if you don't clean up your stashtabs after a few leages in standard like me it easily becomes a junkyard of remove-only stashtabs full of old items.

i like this model, like, hey, spend 40 hours first, then decide whether to "invest" or "give back" to the developing team and ongoing daily expenses. also yes, only buy tabs when discount, the worse case you have to wait 2 weeks

On a similar theme of content, would you consider doing an mtx video on which cosmetics improve visual clarity in a borderline pay-to-win manner? Void Spark comes to mind but I'm sure there are more.

Worth noting that standard tabs also support all affinities (though trade players will want premium regardless).

As an SSF player I currently have everything but Blight, Deli & Delve but will likely grab a fossil tab for some QOL.

I just use the free space in the currency tab for oils but I'd grab the Delirium tab up instantly if it stored cluster jewels.

My remove only stash tabs definitely have not disappeared even after removing stuff and logging out multiple times. Am I doing something wrong?

if you are playing poe seriously id buy every tab, besides unique item one.

From a SSF point of view: I like the gems and bottle tabs because at the start of the league gemcutters, glassblowers and vaal orbs are rare, so is nice to pick everything without thinking. Gems are also good for Standard, if you want to try something it's far easier to find a 21/20. Bottles tab is nice to find the higher level ones without looking each individually. They do provide some cpnfort.

The only "useless" tabs are blight/delirium/metamorph because you can put all 3 in 1 regular tab and won't filled at the end of the league. Fossils themselves are a bit useless to me, but the tab itself holds a lot space .

I agree with you in the Div card tab.... should be one of the priority, as div cards are a pain to manage without one and every league there are more cards to deal.

Essence tab was absolutely essential to me, to understand what Essences are and how to use them.

Console works the same now as far as selling from premium tabs, but they can also make purchases on the market board similar to other RPGs/MMOs etc... This requires the seller to approve the sale from their hideout though, so while it is one step faster it still does interrupt mapping but only for a few seconds. Console probably has the best trade right now because you can abuse the trade website to locate your items, then go to the in game trade board to search the item you were looking for an buy it without going to a hideout. Basically bid on the sale then hit maps until the person approves or asks for more or whatever. You can also send a small message with the sale or if you decline a purchase in the trade board.

love your objectively accurate videos, thanks

I just bought the Divination Card tab and the Blight tab.
Hoarding Divination cards is very helpful in SSF since it may be your way to obtain certain items, and for Blight, I did a lot of Blight this league and even got a Mageblood from it so I decided to buy the tab to keep my oils and Blighted Maps more organized. The tab also has QOL features. You can anoint items without going to Cassia with the tab, and upgrade your oils by just clicking them instead of constantly vendoring stacks of oils.
