How to Trade in Path of Exile 2

Trading in *Path of Exile 2* can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. There are two primary methods for trading items: by directly interacting with another player in-game or through the official trade site. Let's delve into both methods for a comprehensive understanding.

Trading In-Game

If you find yourself in the same instance as another player in *Path of Exile 2*, trading is straightforward. Simply right-click on their character and select the "Trade" option. This will open a window where both parties can select the items they wish to exchange. Once both players agree on the terms, confirm the trade to complete the transaction.

Another way to initiate a trade is through the game's global chat or direct messages. To do this, right-click on the player's name in the chatbox and invite them to your party. After teleporting to their location, right-click their character again to start the trading process. This method is particularly useful for connecting with players who aren't in your immediate vicinity.

To purchase an item, utilize the site's filters to narrow down your search. Once you find an item you're interested in, click on the "Direct Whisper" button located on the right side of the screen. This sends a direct message to the seller within the game, allowing you to negotiate and finalize the sale in person.

Selling items involves owning a Premium Stash Tab, available for purchase in the in-game Microtransaction Shop. After placing the item you wish to sell into the Premium Stash and setting it to "Public," right-click the item to set a price. It will then be listed automatically on the official trade site, making it visible to potential buyers. When a buyer contacts you through a direct message in-game, you can arrange to meet and complete the trade.
