Path of Exile 2: From Campaign End to New World of Endgame

Hello fellow adventurers! I'm MMOJUGG, here to guide you through the transition from the campaign to the vast, chaotic endgame world of Path of Exile 2. This is for all you newcomers to Wraeclast, or those like me who've been around the block a few times and know the ins and outs of making currency.

From the campaign to the maps:

Once you've defeated the final boss of the Cruel difficulty, you may find yourself standing there like a lost sheep, wondering, "What now?" Fear not! The first step is to find the map device, which can be found in the Cigarette Refuge. If you're dreaming of a fancy hideout, you'll either need a Supporter Pack for some fancy ones, or you can stick to the basics and run low-level maps to unlock basic hideouts.

The Atlas System - Waystones:

Forget maps, Path of Exile 2 is all about waystones. These are your new best friends for navigating the infinitely scaled atlas. Each Waystone level represents a challenge that you should aim to meet with your equipment and skills. Remember, it's all about pacing yourself. Don't rush into high-level stones if you're not ready for that level of mayhem.

Currency and mechanics:

Breaches: Watch out for those hands popping out of the ground. They're your ticket to spawning a horde of monsters, which means more loot and splinters for the endgame bosses.

Corrupted zones: These can upgrade your map beyond its natural level, adding tougher monsters but also better rewards.

Bosses: These guys drop a ton of currency and waystones, so when you see a boss icon, gear up and go for it. Remember, the higher the tier, the better the loot.

Rituals: These resurrect dead mobs around you for more killing fun. Complete these for tribute, which you can spend on rewards or save for later with the delay system.

Delirium: Enter the map, step into the mirror and watch the fog spread. The more you fight, the harder it gets, but the rewards? Oh, they're worth it.

Expedition: Place explosives wisely. This mechanic is gold for upgrading, especially early on. Each NPC offers different crafting options, so choose wisely.

Tips from MMOJUGG:

- Run every level of Waystone you can. There is no point in dying repeatedly for nothing.

- Use your currency wisely. Transmute and upgrade your Waystones, but don't go overboard with Regals until you've got a nice pile of them.

- When you find unique maps like Untainted Paradise, use them for experience, not loot.

- For those not ready for Pinnacle bosses, sell those Crisis Fragments. They're like gold in this game.

Control-click magic:

Finally, a little MMOJUGG trick - Control Click! Use it with NPCs like Dorani to identify items or Alva for currency exchange without opening unnecessary menus. It's all about efficiency out here.

That's all from me, folks. Remember, in Path of Exile 2, knowledge is power - and currency. Keep learning, keep farming, and most importantly, keep having fun. Until next time, stay safe and keep rocking!
