First and foremost, it's important to clarify that Path of Exile 2 is not a mere expansion or patch for POE 1. It will be a standalone sequel that introduces a new campaign, new mechanics, and updated graphics. Despite this, the two games will be interconnected in several ways, particularly with regard to your account and microtransactions.
Account Progression and Microtransactions
One of the most reassuring pieces of information from the developers at Grinding Gear Games (GGG) is that your POE 1 account will carry over to POE 2. This means that while POE 2 will introduce new content, you will not lose access to your previous account data, including your purchased microtransactions, stash tabs, and any other cosmetic items you’ve bought over the years.
Microtransactions, including skins, pets, stash tabs, and cosmetic effects, will be linked to your account and will likely be available to use across both games. While certain cosmetic items from POE 1 may not be perfectly compatible with POE 2 due to changes in the game’s engine or visual style, most items should carry over without issues. GGG has emphasized that they aim to ensure as smooth a transition as possible for players who have invested in these cosmetic items.
Additionally, you’ll retain any POE 1 achievements tied to your account. However, it's worth noting that the game’s content will reset with the launch of POE 2, meaning you will start the new game from scratch in terms of progress, including your character and story progression.
While your account will carry over to POE 2, your POE 1 characters will not. POE 2 introduces a completely new campaign and new character classes, and it will feature a revamped progression system. This means that players will need to create a new character and begin fresh with the new campaign.
This decision to reset character progression is primarily due to the significant changes in the game’s mechanics and story. POE 2 will offer new skill trees, a revamped passive skill tree, and potentially new ways of building characters that differ from POE 1. As such, your existing characters, their skill choices, and their items won’t carry over to the new game.
That said, POE 2 will offer the option to migrate your character’s data for the purposes of cosmetic rewards or achievements, but this migration will likely be limited to non-gameplay-affecting items. For example, you might unlock exclusive cosmetic rewards or titles based on your accomplishments in POE 1, but these won’t have any impact on your gameplay or progression in POE 2.
Regarding in-game items and gear, nothing from POE 1 will carry over directly to POE 2. As POE 2 is a new game with different mechanics and progression systems, the developers have made it clear that any gear you’ve obtained in POE 1—whether through crafting, drops, or trading—will not transfer to the new game. This includes weapons, armor, jewelry, and other in-game items.
This decision allows the development team to introduce fresh gameplay elements and avoid making POE 2 feel like just a continuation of POE 1. Players will have to collect new gear, experiment with different crafting systems, and progress through the new content from scratch.
However, there might be new systems in POE 2 that offer similar mechanics to the ones in POE 1, such as item crafting or certain types of rare item drops. For example, the in-game economy and itemization could follow similar principles, but the specific items and crafting methods will be unique to POE 2.
As with items and gear, the currency in POE 2 will be entirely different from the currency in POE 1. While the game will likely retain familiar currencies, such as Chaos Orbs and Exalted Orbs, the economy will be reset. This means that currency items and trades from POE 1 will not carry over to the new game.
This reset of the economy is necessary for the integrity of the new game, as POE 2 will introduce new crafting methods and ways to interact with the game’s economic systems. While some of the older currencies may find their place in POE 2, the economy will be in a state of flux when the new game launches, giving players an opportunity to discover new ways of earning and spending their in-game currency.
Leagues and Endgame: New Challenges
POE 2 will likely introduce new leagues and endgame content, potentially featuring new systems that differ from the traditional endgame mechanics of POE 1. Leagues will likely carry over the idea of temporary content, where players can engage in time-limited activities and earn exclusive rewards, but they will be tailored to the POE 2 experience.
New challenges and mechanics will also appear, giving players new endgame goals to pursue. However, these will be distinct from the POE 1 endgame, so there won’t be any direct carryover of POE 1 achievements, league rewards, or progression systems.
To sum up, while you won’t be able to carry over your characters, items, or currency from POE 1 to POE 2, the good news is that your account progress, including microtransactions and cosmetic rewards, will carry over to the sequel. This means you won’t lose the value of your investments in POE 1, and you’ll be able to access the cosmetics you’ve purchased in both games. However, for gameplay progression, gear, and currency, it will be a fresh start.
POE 2 offers players a chance to experience a new campaign, new systems, and new content, while maintaining some continuity in the form of account-based rewards. While the game resets much of what you’ve accomplished in POE 1, the sense of excitement and discovery that POE 2 promises should more than make up for it.
