Scrolls are your friends, you will find a lot during your journey and
there are two types of them.
With Portal Scroll you can get to town whenever you want just like in Diablo. With Scroll of Wisdom you can
identify your unidentified items.
There is no gold in Path of Exile, it is replaced with currencies. The
scrolls mentioned above are also count as currencies. When you sell an
item to a vendor you will receive whole piece of currencies or fragments
and shards which later can be turned into a whole one.
Currencies can also be traded with vendors for a different one with different quantity.
One of biggest deals in Path of Exile is the skill tree which may seems
extremely hard to learn at first but its not that hard as it looks. You
start on a specified part of the Skill Tree when you create a character
and you can go anywhere from that point. This means you can even focus
on magic with your melee fighter character. The skill tree only allows
you to spend point between your passive spells. Active spells are
learned through gems, which can be found below. It is also possible to
undo a used skill point with Orb of Regret which can be found at almost
any stage of the game, even in Normal Difficulty. There are several
sites where you can plan your own skill tree, spending your points.
You start with no spells but you can learn a new one every time you
equip an item with a skill gem in it. Later in the game these gems will
synergize that's why equipping items with linked sockets are important.
The skill gems are leveling up with you, they gain experience and they are getting stronger with your level.Path of Exile has 7 different
classes with almost no limitations. This means every class can learn
every skill, can be built in almost every way so even your spellcaster
Witch can be decent in melee fights, just like your Ranger can be adept
at magic. Scion is the only character that is unavailable for new
players, you need to rescue her in a quest in Act 3 to make her
available.
In Path of Exile Maps provide the endgame content. The first tier of
maps can be found during your journey while questing. You can open up
these maps in Act 3, Eternal Laboratory. We also have a guide about Maps
that can be found here and you can learn about it in details.see more
