/popcorn - the daily deals and microtransaction thread
" There’s real money purchases and then what you spend the points on. The supporter packs can be expensive, but they’re the best value. You don’t have to decide now; you can buy points packs and upgrade later by spending the difference to receive the difference. In terms of spending points: stash tabs, stash tabs, and more tabs for your stash. The currency tab has a nice layout and can store large amounts of each currency. Definitely worth a buy imo. Some people love quad tabs and others hate them, it’s a matter of personal preference. You definitely want at least one premium stash tab for a better trading experience. “Please understand that imposing strong negative views regarding our team on to other players when you are representing our most helpful forum posters is not appropriate.” — GGG 2022 ---- I'm not 'Sarno' on Discord.

i would personally buy a set of premium tabs, so you'll have 4 standard and 6 that you can use for trading
and then i'd buy a currency tab, they are very convenient IRON MAN

Yep, will probably be spending SOME cash one day on this game just for the sake of... well, spending some.
And I will consider those tips yes as for the Tabs and the Stash and then some premium yes. Doesn´t mean much to me right as of now, since I am such an early Lvl. But I think I´ll see the benefits as I Level up and developing my Character too. Am only Lvl 23 so far. Also been looking at some of the Packs having Pets included. Does these Pets only follow you around if you want them to and sits around in your hideout (which by the way am not having just quite yet) or do they actually also fight beside you? And is Pets ONLY obtainable through these MTXs, or is there a chance to get some other ways ingame? |

What Dreggen said is true. You will eventually (if you don't wash out before you reach act II... hard to fathom Chris stating in a podcast a couple years back that 50% of new players were/are quitting before act II, but those are the stats) easily acquire much more gear than could ever fit into a measly 4 stash tabs so at some point if you decide to play long term and ride the PoE merry-go-round for years then buying a premium 6 pack of stash tabs and the currency tab is a necessity. If you are a filthy rotten hoarder of all uniques like me:

     and that's just the weapons in my stash plus 15 more unique tabs of gear plus 2 dozen builds with unique gear... yikes! then quad stash tabs are the way to go.

I'd say that currency and map tabs are mandatory, as in I wouldn't play the game without them anymore. Add a set of premium tabs and you're pretty much set. Everything else is optional.

Thx for the tips. Think I go for the Stash Tab, and then next probably the Stash Tab, and then I go for the Currency I think. After that I will wait and see what pops up ingame of stuff. Or maybe I go for a pet if getting too lonely out there.

And the Pet came sooner then I ever thought possible. Now the owner of the Cherub one.

" Support packs are good except... OOPS... damn... Bestiary is abomimation and is LAGitty league so you really should wait until you play a challenge league you really like before buying supporter pack. With that said you should definitely buy a currency stash tab. Look at the pets and their video clips to see if anything is to your liking. I have a Kiwi pet that is cute and has survived everything in Wraeclast and Oriath for 5+ years now (it's a miracle... or maybe it's the Kiwi Chow I feed it) but that was a CB pet only. Owning a pet is fun and keeps you from getting lonely. Beyond that it's only a matter of time (if you do survive being thrown into the deep end playing PoE with little guidance) that a stash tab bundle will be needed (wait until sale every 3 weeks). While GGG finally added some help they rely on the GamePedia PoE wiki and since it's player supported and updated it is incomplete. Any other mtx is purely your own choice but I believe in not supporting when league mechanics are bad or flat out don't work well. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

Strange that GGG is repeating the Hideout Decoration sale so soon (last one was just on Feb. 27). Equally strange is that all items are the same price as last sale except Malachi's Heart at 60 points (was 65 points).
