Pretty much the only leaguestones I like are breach, essence, perandus, and talisman. If I get a dense map I'll run a beyond

Breach, Bloodlines, Perandus, and Rampage are my go-tos, with Rampage paired alongside Breach often because free damage/effects that help kill the Breach density is always nice.

What's the usual route to getting a 6L anyway? Only ones I've ever had I straight up bought after that nonsense last league. Do most people buy a rare they want then struggle to 6L it over thousands of Fusings, save up and buy outright, or what?

You could farm/buy Celestial Justicar divination cards and then craft the Astral Plate 6L you get from it.

I buy a corrupted one with the colors I need for cheap and then use that to farm for a good one.

Similarly I've made due with only 6 normal/premium tabs without any real space issues and don't think you need more space than that, though it can certainly be useful.
Yeah, you don't need many tabs to spam memes in /global 1 out of Lioneye's​ Watch for 250 hours.

I got plenty of essence drops in breach league. They're very common in higher maps.

So did I, but as I've said, the number wasn't close to what I had in Essence league. Heck, I have a comparable amount of Essences now in Legacy league, and I've played for only a fraction of time I spent in Breach league.

Essence league itself was genius, you could spam the lower tiers for levelling gear as you went along, now it feels like an afterthought that clutters your stash (you'll get what two per ten levels?), untill you get to the last tiers when they become relevant again.

It is funny however that the corrupted essences are so cheap this league, makes me want to try a gimmick build with all Horror or all Insanity gear etc.

Nah.

Also I'm gathering gear for my Alkaizer impersonation build. Picked up the surrender, abysses, voice of the storm, nice essence of horror 6L. Now all I need is to upgrade my red dream to nightmare and pickup deaths door.

Oh and atziris acuity. Should be no problem.

Other peoples ignorance puts food on my table.
I can't be arsed to read the thread back, and see where this stashtab nonsens started, but to keep it simple;

Buy tabs. The answer is always yes. Currency tab? Essence tab? Cardtab? Yes. Buy them all.

1. They are all good. Some are better than others, but they are all good and usefull.

2. With the amount of hours most of us put into this free* game, GGG deserves some of your money as well. It's about supporting a game that we love, and have GGG make the awesome changes/improvements that they are making.

All you gotta do is use space smart, and never play more than one character a league.

My current set-up is 2 tabs for selling. One for maps. One for Essences, splinters and a couple left-over items. One for Div Cards, and various stuff I want to save (Sac Fragments/Offerings and poo poo). And one for Leaguestones and dumping poo poo in temporarily. Only one I've gotten close to filling is one sale tab, and once I do fill it I just clear out a bunch of lovely stuff that'll never sell at the tab's price anyway.

Sure if you want to actually store gear or fill multiple tabs worth of poo poo while mapping before sorting (which I wouldn't do even with 100 tabs because sorting tabs is THE shittiest activity possible in PoE) it gets a pain, but since I only play one character, any gear I get goes straight to vendor, sale tab or my character anyway except at most 3 - 4 pieces that I need to rebuild/upgrade something else before using it's perfect for me.

I even bought the big dumb quad tab to show all my 1c trash in.

Insurrectionist
May 21, 2007
To be honest seeing streamers with dozens of stash tabs and just imagining scrolling through that poo poo constantly to find things/get to the right dumping tab/etc is one of the biggest reasons I have no interest in getting more than maybe 8 or 10 tabs. Currently I'm doing fine with 6. I'd rather be forced to play slightly inefficiently or sell/vendor poo poo plausibly keepable than start that level of inventory tetris.

Having a few premium tabs full of vaguely usable looking junk is practically a chaos orb cheat, especially this early in the league.

Insurrectionist
May 21, 2007
I dunno, I upgraded my dump sale tab from 1c to 2c before I could fill it because I couldn't be hosed going back for 1c any more, and I'm probably gonna have to bump it up again soon. I did have to vendor some poo poo because I finally filled it yesterday though.

Still though, while extra sale tabs like that certainly have good use, I'd hardly call them must-haves like Currency tab and the first one or two Premium tabs.

That's pretty cool that you're enjoying the game without some of the extra bells and whistles that a lot of us couldn't go back from.

Right, this is where I initially lost you. I tend to have at least a few characters, and things pile up rather fast, as I keep twink gear, sell a lot, and hoard certain items just for the sake of hoarding.
Eh, essences own to fix poo poo up until A4M.

I can't stand leveling so I never play more than one character per league. In other games with leagues or similar I usually forgo the league system entirely, but the combination of PoE being a more build-centric game than most where it's fun to play new poo poo, and the economy being there and getting reset in leagues, made staying off Standard an easy decision.

Fair enough, levelling can be tedious even if you've nailed down doing it at good speed.

Why would you put your dump tab where you have to scroll when opening the stash initially? Lmao.

I have about 60 premium tabs a div card tab essence tab two giant tabs and a currency tab. I make use of most of it and I'll play 3-5 characters a league. It's not hard to change tabs and I prefer that to playing Tetris with an individual tab.

Some of my tabs are

Maps
T1-3
T4-6
T7-9
T10+
Hammer tabs usually get to 2-3 before I start making chisels
Uniques tab
Chaos 1
Chaos 2 etc up to 10 for selling items listed at those chaos amounts.
Leather belt tabs
Future build tab
Tab for quality flasks.
League stone tab
Talisman tab
Level up uniques ( uniques good for leveling a dude)
Gems tab
Quality gems dump tab that gets emptied form making gcp
5c tab for jewlelry I dump right as I get it
1c tab where all jewelry sits eventually if I need to make a chaos set for a chaos I might need
And then a tab for each slot for rare chaos set. I fill up each tab early on and use it if I need a chaos and don't have one
Dump tab(my giant tab)

Still haven't found a use for my second giant tab
