Best ways to get Gold in Path of Exile 2

One of the easiest ways to get more Gold is by clearing mobs. Every enemy you kill and area you clear will fetch you more resources. Compared or ordinary mobs, focusing on the bosses will be much more lucrative. Killing bosses will require more effort, and some, like Executioner, can be really hard to end. That said, the increased rewards will help you to improve your gear.

When you clear more quests, you’ll also get Gold. Doing so will help to progress with the main storyline and clear the different acts that are present in early access. As you progress, you’ll also get different items – consumables, loot, and more. You’ll not need to use all of them, and everyone has a fixed inventory size.

Once you gain access to a vendor, you can always sell the extra gear to get more Gold. That will help you to gain more resources for future use, and also create space in your inventory.

Best ways to spend Gold in Path of Exile 2

There are different ways to spend the Gold you gain in Path of Exile 2. Here are my top three choices.

• You can reset your passive skills to go for a fresh build. This process requires a fair amount of Gold to begin with, so make sure you have enough for a respec. This will also help you remove any errors you might have made while making your early builds.
• If you’re the type who likes to gamble, you can try to get better gear. Certain vendors allow you to gamble for better uniques, and some of them can suit perfectly with your build. Do note that the method is completely random, and the odds of finding Unique and Rare gear can require a lot of resources.
• There’s a currency exchange market as well that lets you sell your items to other sellers in exchange for different resources. You’ll require a small amount of Gold to post a fresh offer, and this can be another use of your resource.

That’s more or less all of it when it comes to farming and spending Gold in Path of Exile 2. Being in early access, more content is expected to be added in the near future, and some of it might also require the use of Gold.
