Tool stack
The complete Path of Exile 2 toolkit
The six tools that cover the entire PoE 2 cycle — plan your build, read the economy, craft your gear, and tune your loot filter. The same ecosystem that made PoE big, adapted to the sequel.
Path of Exile 2 inherited its predecessor's depth: a massive passive tree, a trade economy, and a crafting system that rewards planning. And like in PoE 1, the client only covers the basics, so leaning on external tools isn't optional if you want to play the endgame seriously. This stack gathers the six that cover a full league cycle without overlapping.
A league's workflow
Before starting, you pick a build on Maxroll —full guides with leveling, gear, and endgame— and open it in Path of Building, which already supports PoE 2, to understand every decision and simulate changes with your real DPS and defenses.
In the game, poe.ninja is your second monitor: which builds work, what each item is worth, and where the economy is heading. So you don't open the browser constantly, Exiled Exchange 2 prices any item with a hotkey without leaving the game.
At endgame, when you want to build your own gear, Craft of Exile lets you simulate crafting and estimate the currency you'll spend before risking it. And throughout the league, FilterBlade keeps your loot filter tuned so the ground only shows what's worth it.
Why these six
Each one solves a different layer, and none replaces another:
- Planning → Path of Building + Maxroll
- Economy and meta → poe.ninja + Exiled Exchange 2
- Crafting → Craft of Exile
- Quality of life → FilterBlade
It's the same proven set the PoE 1 community runs every league, adapted to the sequel. Each tool has its full analysis in the codex.
