Path of Exile is a free-to-play action role-playing game developed and published in 2013 by Grinding Gear Games company. The game is both single-player and multi-player where a player is mostly playing solo while grinding for experience and leveling up. A player can choose from seven different classes available in the game, and start their journey through the dark fantasy world. The game is still quite popular with the fans, who are improving the game even today. For that, in this article, we will list the 15 best Path of Exile add-ons.
Most of these add-ons will be about crafting mechanics, trading tools, and overall technicalities that make the game better in every sense of the word. Some of them will be a websites where you can import your builds items and craft and organize build paths. If you are interested, stick with us until the end of the article. Let’s start!
15. Official Path of Exile Trade
We start this list with, you guess it, a trade add-on in the shape of the website. This cool website allows you to search items listed for sale in shop forums as well as those listed using public premium stash tabs in-game. You can search items by name or their base types using the “search items” field. While trading, your status (online/offline) will be displayed so other players know you are doing it.
Official Path of Exile Trade also has a cool feature called “live search” where you will be notified if the item of your criteria is available for trade. This great and transparent site will make your life so much easier.
14. Better Trading Extension
This is another trading tool for Path of Exile but in form of the Google Chrome Browser extension. This is a good tool since it allows you to save trade searches and improves the trading interface among other features. Those features include a bookmarks manager, an equivalent pricing calculator powered by poe.ninja (we will mention him later), searched mods highlighting, and more.
This is a great tool for your to organize your items and just have a better look at what’s available for you out there.
13. PoE Overlay Community Fork
We talked in our previous list for add-ons that sometimes you need to have a cool and clean overlay that aesthetically matches your game. This add-on is a great option. This, probably, one of the best add-ons out there for Path of Exile gives players an option to evaluate their items, where you have graphs for gear, a trade companion who can message you when in need of a trade, bind in-game commands to a custom hotkey, navigation storage and so many more.
A work of art add-on, fans would say and they are right.
12. PoE Lurker
This add-on is essentially a compact trading manager and companion which has amazing features. It displays incoming trades, and outgoing trades, you can item highlight in the stash. An interesting feature called Item Lurker provides players to analyze items with detailed information to ease the process of sorting good versus bad items situations.
The dashboard is probably the feature in this add-on since it provides players with clear, detailed information about trading and selling. There are literal pie charts and cool graphs and players who like being methodical, this is an add-on for them.
11. FilterBlade
This website is legendary at this point. It is essentially a loot filter customizer that helps players to go through items easier. It cleans up the clutter of the original game item information and lets you just organize better. Filters, custom style of items, detailed information, sound effects and toggles for every available item.
Another great fan-site that helps players immensely in item ortganization.
10. Exilence Next
After a few websites, this entry is actually an add-on in the form of the desktop app. It helps you calculate how valuable is your character, inventory, and stash tabs with amazing data representation that gives you a deep analysis of everything you need. The data is broken down and summarized over time, to see how much you earn on an hourly basis.
Moreover, this feature expands to your friends who can group their character’s information and see how they fare against you. Great app and a must-install add-on.
9. PoE-TradeMacro
Another add-on on this list includes trading. It might see too many of the trading tools but these are the most important parts of the game. Path of Exile never had the particular problem of bad graphics or sound effects – the game actually fared well versus its competition. Anyway, this tool provides several convenient QoL features for Path of Exiles Trading which includes an automatic price check macro.
You can key-bind any option available and later use it fast and efficiently. The add-on also provides the player of detailed item information.
8. Wraeclast
This website provides players with essentially everything including cheat sheets, cool builds, crafts, and other resources. There were always controversies about using cheat sheets but when you are playing a game that has tons of items for each of seven classes, every person can lose themselves in it pretty quickly.
Because of that, Wraeclast is pretty cool, and useful for any Path of Exile player.
7. Passive Skill Tree
Skill Tree in Path of Exile is actually the most impressive thing in the game. The possibilities on which build path you can go in the game are essentially countless, and that fact is one of the reasons why this game is played so much. Impressive, detailed build tree, with other abilities, sometimes can overwhelm players, but that is why we have this cool website to help us out.
If you want to go on a critical strike assassin or enchanter support type of character, just check out this website.
6. Craft of Exile
Crafting is one of the features that make the Path of Exile game really interesting and again possibilities are eternal. The Craft of Exile website is really important if you took into account that these types of games mostly do not have programs or engine simulators where a player can go and test their crafting. The Craft of Exile is just that – an item crafting resource and simulator where players can learn about crafting without wasting their materials in the game or trying to find a good guide that maybe are not understanding enough.
One of the best add-ons on this list.
5. poe.ninja Builds
Path of Exile legend himself poe.ninja taught and helped a lot of Path of Exile players over the years. His website provides players with a history graph of the price of all items across the leagues. It is mostly used for an economy where players can find an opportunity to find good prices for themselves or trade something for what they need.
There are also details of the items included with their enhancements and stats, and cool lore texts.
4. Mercury Trade Community
Another popular overlay application for Path of Exile that provides players with tracking the items, selling, trading, chatting with other people in the community, and more. Mercury Trade was made in Java, which was initially created for facilitating trading interactions but in recent years became a huge community and a platform that improved user experience immensely.
Creators themselves are active users of this website and the add-on main feature Overseer is impeccable for players to track things.
3. Mikelat’s PoE Aura Calculator
Auras in Path of Exile are a persistent area of effect skills that surround the character with some radius where they can grant their allies or enemies positive or negative effects. Aura is used so that the mana is not, and that makes this mechanic really important. This website made sure that players can do a bit of math and see what auras are reserving mana the best and what values do they need to spend.
Great tool for aura management.
2. Blight
Another cool feature of Path of Exile is that you can enhance your items with different, in this case, oils. When applying oils to your items, they are enhanced and give players an opportunity to check out what oils or anointments are good for your character at that moment. For example, your Towers need to deal more damage, and you do not know what oil you need to apply to enhance them. Don’t worry, Blight brings you every oil listed in the game with suitable items you can enhance.
1. TraXile
Last but not least on this list is TraXile. This add-on is more suited for experienced players who collected at least a few hundred hours on Path of Exile, and it is pretty cool. It’s a tool that collects statistics about your gaming in Path of Exile. Its main purpose of it is to help you optimize your gaming strategies by offering data like average encounters, durations, and more.
For example, if you notice that your character is not dealing damage it is supposed to with the build it has, you can easily go to TraXile and check out what is wrong with your build or if the enhancements are not right.
All in all, it’s a cool tool that provided players with everything they need to do to become the best character in Path of Exiles.
