Are you diving straight into a hardcore league? The first 30 levels are only a tiny bit of the game-- you haven't even cleared normal yet. Once you play some more, learn more about the game and pick up some good leveling items, you can get to 30 in a couple hours. I'm completely serious, I thought it was impossible at first too.
POE is at it's heart a good old fashioned ARPG, which means a lot of grinding will be required to progress. However, there's a lot of different thing you can do with the skill tree and picking out your damage skills. It's fine to find something easy (read: tanky) on the forums for a first playthrough, but after you accumulate wealth and experience there;s many different ways to play through the game.

The thing what I enjoy most in PoE is build planning, not playing the game, no joke. I even plan builds for skills I don't like if they have interesting mechanics to them (aka, I probably won't play the build I made). In the game, seeing my characters progressing, hitting key nodes in the tree, being able to equip a key piece of gear, and the points where you can start to run certain gem combinations because you hit a treshhold (enough mana for example) are pretty cool to me, too. Ah, and maps. I don't know why but I simply enjoy running maps. o.O

You pretty much nailed it.

Yep this. I have 3 char in Ambush atm but 13 saved builds in the offline skill tree planer lol. Pretty sure that list will continue to expand faster than I can turn them into reality too

Yeah, I saw you behind the wall of witches, lol. Got #13 overall and #3 marauder in that race. Seems like witch is the new scion (at least in D:C).
//Just found a Vaults of Atziri. Should I run it myself? What is it worth on Invasion (poe.xyz only shows one result)?

Thanks for responses, guys! If it's more grinding I need then I'm happy with my level 30s (lol). I'm a diablo 1 dude moreso than a diablo 2 dude, and I never really "got" D2 either... Though PoE is fucking sicknasty impressive for a free game.

If you want help or some people, I'm sure you can get an invite from a TL'er. We could definitely hook you up with some items and advice to make the game more enjoyable as well.

That is extremely awesome of you to do.
I wouldn't mind having one of those codes (and would be sure to make good use of it )
edit: I would also not be opposed to have our guild leader get it and buy a couple guild stash tabs and some extra player slots with part of the points (I prettymuch never see him online though).

TL community continues to be awesome.
I could use one of the codes if you still have them. Moar stash tabs =D
|
Sent to (1) semioldguy and (2) Eschaton. Check PM.
|
I dont mind having the number of stash tabs more than 4 xD
Jk I dont live in NA ;_;
Also I'm improving as ranger in Champ Descent I think. Slowly creep up in ranger ranking after each race. Unfortunately, I had a massively lag spike that froze me for 3s when Hatestorm first put down his totem -> RIP at 5th ranger with 18 mins to go, meh.
Ended up as 14th ranger. Magic.

Guild stash tabs
Or me

Man, take a nap and miss another give out like this.

Evo can be summoned.
Player slots aren't even maxed out at the moment so I'm not sure how useful that would be, but feel free to donate points to the guild fund. There is no such thing as too many stash tabs

I heard guild stash tabs.
+ Show Spoiler +Do we need any? Like need need?
e: We're currently at 55/70 members so I'd say we're good on that front. As usual it's 50 points per stash tab and 100 points per +10 guild slots. In a nutshell if you feel generous (and or enough people speak up that they'd love some more guild stash tabs to make you feel generous!) throw the points this way and I'll deal with it. <3

Sad i qualify except the fact that I live in Europe :p.
Anyway, nice of you to do this
|
;~; im short on posts, qualify for everything else though. Really regretting being a lurker for two years now. Can my 2k posts on the PoE forums count? xD Edit: oh it's already been given out
But yeah, I share with everyone else that that's pretty awesome of you.
Are the guild stash tabs global? I vote that we buy atleast two more tabs, but I think we are good on member slots at the moment, activity is starting to die down anyway.

finished 4th witch 12th overall in the 1hr party race. level 23 and 30%.
