Beginner’s Guide to Earning POE 2 Currency Efficiently
Focus on Survivability First
Before diving into farming for currency, ensure your character’s defenses are solid. Investing in armor, evasion, energy shield, and especially elemental resistances (aim for at least 75%) reduces deaths, which saves time and prevents losing experience or map progress. A well-defended character can clear content faster and more consistently, directly improving your currency income.
Early Campaign Farming and Gold Management
During the campaign, gold is your primary currency, used to buy starter gear and respec passive skills. Sell all common and magic items you don’t need to accumulate gold, but keep rare items with good modifiers for crafting or selling later. Disenchanting or salvaging unwanted gear yields crafting shards and materials, which can be sold for currency or used to improve your equipment.
