Path of Exile 2 offers two primary methods for trading items: direct in-game exchanges and utilizing the official trade website. Let's explore both options.
In-Game Trading
If you're in the same game instance as another player, right-clicking their character and selecting "Trade" initiates a direct exchange. Both players select their desired items, and upon confirmation, the trade is complete.
Alternatively, you can arrange trades via global chat or direct messages. Right-click a player's name in chat, invite them to your party, teleport to their location, and then right-click their character to begin the trade.
The Path of Exile 2 Trade Market
Path of Exile 2 features an online marketplace accessible only through the official trade website (link omitted for brevity). A PoE account linked to your gaming platform is required.
Buying Items: Use the website's filters to locate desired items. Clicking "Direct Whisper" sends an in-game message to the seller, allowing you to arrange a meeting and complete the transaction.
Selling Items: A Premium Stash Tab (purchased from the in-game Microtransaction Shop) is necessary. Place the item in the Premium Stash, set it to "Public," and optionally set a price via right-click. The item will automatically appear on the trade website. Buyers will contact you in-game to finalize the trade.
That covers the trading mechanics in Path of Exile 2. For further game tips and troubleshooting (like PC freezing), consult additional resources online.
