Q & A

  • What is the first and most important trade trick mentioned in the video?

    -The first and most important trade trick mentioned is using the 'till' button by pressing shift and the button next to the '1' on the keyboard to activate fuzzy search mode, which allows for less specific naming when searching for items and modifiers.

  • How can you use the trade site to buy multiple different items from the same seller with a single trade?

    -You can use the 'Group by seller' feature, which allows you to select multiple items from the same seller and then use the 'direct whisper' option to send a message with the desired quantities and your offer.

  • What is the benefit of adjusting the stock count filter when looking for items to buy?

    -Adjusting the stock count filter helps to show listings of people who have a larger quantity of the item you want, such as full sets, making it easier to buy in bulk from a single seller.

  • Why is it recommended to message sellers who have recently listed their items rather than those at the top of the search results?

    -Sellers at the top of the search results often receive a high volume of messages and may not respond promptly, whereas sellers who have recently listed their items are more likely to respond quickly as they are actively engaged in trading.

  • What is a strategy to quickly sell items like Exalted Orbs for Chaos Orbs?

    -Instead of directly buying Chaos Orbs with Exalted Orbs, you can list your Exalted Orbs for Chaos Orbs at a competitive price, potentially undercutting others slightly to make your listing appear at the top and sell faster.

  • What is the 'naughty trick' mentioned for listing items to sell quickly at the going rate?

    -The 'naughty trick' is to list items for a slightly lower price than the going rate, such as 14999 KS for what should be 15 Chaos Orbs, to make your listing appear more attractive and sell faster.

  • How can you list items for bulk selling directly from your inventory tabs?

    -You can make your currency tab public and then use the 'exact price' feature to set the desired bulk price, such as 57 Chaos Orbs for 20 Scarabs, which will show up on the trade site as a bulk listing.

  • What is a good way to sell less commonly purchased items quickly without getting scammed?

    -You can search for people buying those items for a specific currency, like Divine Orbs, and then sell directly to them after checking the reverse trade to ensure you're getting a fair deal.

  • What is the advantage of using the 'Group by seller' feature when buying multiple items?

    -The advantage is that it simplifies the buying process by allowing you to consolidate your purchases from a single seller, making it faster and potentially more efficient.

  • How can you ensure you're not getting scammed when selling less common items directly to buyers?

    -You should always check the reverse trade, meaning search for what you're selling and compare the prices to make sure you're getting a fair deal and not underselling your items.

Keywords

💡Trade Tricks

Trade Tricks refer to strategies and techniques used to improve the efficiency and success of trading within a game's economy. In the context of this video, trade tricks are tips and methods to facilitate faster and more effective trading on the Path of Exile (PoE) trade site. For example, the script mentions using the 'till' button to enter fuzzy search mode, which allows for less specific item and modifier naming during searches.

💡Fuzzy Mode

Fuzzy mode is a search function that allows for less precise input by the user. It is used in the PoE trade site to broaden the search parameters, making it easier to find items and modifiers without having to remember exact names. The script illustrates this by showing how typing 'Ellie attack skill' would bring up results for 'increase elements of damage with attack skills' when fuzzy mode is activated.

💡Group by Seller

Group by Seller is a feature on the PoE trade site that enables players to view and potentially purchase multiple different items from the same seller in a single transaction. This can streamline the trading process, especially when looking to acquire sets or groups of items, such as the four fragments needed for Uber at Ziri, as mentioned in the script.

💡Stock Count

Stock Count refers to the quantity of a particular item that a seller has listed for trade. The video script suggests adjusting the stock count filter to show only those listings with a sufficient amount of the desired item, such as looking for sellers with full sets of items or those with a large number of a specific currency.

💡Direct Whisper

Direct Whisper is a messaging feature on the PoE trade site that allows buyers to send a direct message to a seller with a proposed trade. In the script, it is used to communicate the desire to buy specific quantities of different items from a single seller, streamlining the negotiation process.

💡Listed

Listed in the context of the PoE trade site refers to items that have been posted for sale by players. The script advises checking recently listed items, such as those listed within the last hour or three hours, to find sellers who are more likely to respond quickly to trade offers.

💡Chaos Orbs

Chaos Orbs are a type of in-game currency in Path of Exile used for various transactions, including crafting and purchasing items. The video discusses strategies for acquiring Chaos Orbs, such as buying them for Divine Orbs and messaging sellers who are not at the very top of the search results to avoid the overwhelming volume of messages they receive.

💡Undercutting

Undercutting is a trading strategy where a seller lists an item for a slightly lower price than the current market rate to attract buyers and sell items quickly. The script provides an example of listing an Exalted Orb for 14999 KS (Chaos Orbs) to appear at the top of the listings while still aiming to receive the desired 15 Chaos Orbs.

💡Bulk Listing

Bulk Listing is the act of listing a large quantity of items for sale at once, often at a set price per item. The video script explains how to use the trade site's interface to list items in bulk, such as selling 20 Scarabs for 57 Chaos Orbs, making it clear to potential buyers that the items are only available in the specified quantity and at the stated price.

💡Currency Tab

Currency Tab refers to a section of a player's inventory in PoE where in-game currencies are stored and managed. The script suggests making the currency tab public to facilitate direct listing of items for sale, such as exchanging Vial of the Seer (VoS) for Chaos Orbs.

💡Scarabs

Scarabs in Path of Exile are special items that can be used to modify maps and gain various benefits. The video discusses the use of Scarabs in trading, such as buying specific Scarabs needed for a strategy or selling them in bulk to streamline the trading process.
