The path of exile has taken its unique way in the trading system. The developers have entirely abandoned the currency in the game, such as D3 gold. Instead, Players Trade using Poe currency items. Nearly every piece of loot you find while adventuring can be traded away, and if you know the right stuff to look for you can make an absolutely absurd amount of money. But what if you don’t know how to trade in Path of Exile?

How to trade in Path of Exile?

Unlike other online RPGs, Path of Exile doesn’t have any sort of in-game infrastructure to facilitate trading with other players. There’s no auction house to browse, so the only way to trade is to physically find a person and manually start a trade with them. It’s a pretty standard interface where you can each drag items from your inventory into the trade window, which requires both players to agree before the trade is finalized.

To find out what other players have for sale, use Poe.trade. This tool, built into Path of Exile’s website, let’s you search through items that other players have marked for sale.

Here’s a quick rundown of how this process works:

• Use Poe.trade to find an item you’re interested in.
• Click the ‘whisper’ button next to the seller’s name.
• This copies a string of text you can then paste into the in-game chat window to automatically message a player saying you want to buy the item.
• Assuming that player is online, they’ll message you back and typically invite you to their hideout to trade.
• Make sure to bring the currency with you in your inventory.
• At their hideout, complete the trade.
