Leagues
Before beginning path of exile players are given options for different leagues to choose from. Players can only interact with other players in the same league as them. Most items owned by players are restricted to the league they are found in, with some exceptions below.
Standard is the permanent, evergreen league with no modifiers. Path of Exile also releases temporary challenge leagues of the parent leagues that include new features to the game. These are like ladder resets, in that everybody joins the league with no characters and an empty stash. When temporary leagues end all characters and inventories and the stash will all move to standard.
Leagues also have three additional optional flags:
- Hardcore - Character who die in Hardcore are moved to the Standard league. Items stored in the Stash are not move to Standard on death.
- Solo Self Found - Character is not allowed to form parties or trade with other players.
- Ruthless - An extra-hard difficulty that introduces gameplay changes to make the game more difficult, namely item scarcity.
Characters with both Hardcore and Ruthless enabled are moved to the Void league on death, preventing them from being played at all.
Temporary leagues have the same options as standard. The temporary leagues with no modifiers tend to be the most popular leagues. Higher player population makes finding a party or rare items for trade easier.
Classes and stats
Classes
The main difference between the classes is their starting location on the passive skill tree and their Ascendancy class. Classes also start with different amounts of attributes and have different quest rewards.
Ascendancy Classes
Each base class can choose from one of three Ascendancy classes (except for the Scion, who has only one) after completing the Lord's Labyrinth. Ascendancy classes offer powerful, specialized passive skills. You gain 2 Ascendancy skill points for each difficulty of the Labyrinth you complete, with 4 difficulties in all.
Level Progression
All classes begin with the same base stats, and gain the same amount life, mana and evasion per level. Classes start with different accuracy stats but gain the same amount per level. The values all classes gain per level are:
- +12 Maximum Life per Level
- +2 Accuracy Rating per Level
- +6 Maximum Mana per Level
Private Stash
Your private stash allows you to store items and transfer them between characters. Stashes are shared between all your characters within a league - all of your Standard characters access one stash, while all of your Hardcore characters access a different stash. Items cannot be moved between leagues except by death to a character (From Hardcore or Challenge League Hardcore to Standard). Each account is initially limited to 4 stash tabs, but more can be bought through microtransactions.
Chat Channels
There are two types of chat channels: Trade and Global Chat. These channels are League-specific. If you enter global chat in a Challenge league, then you will only be talking with people in that league only. Typing /global ## or /trade ## will put you into that number channel, provided it is not full.
Messages can be directed to different channels. Messages starting with
- # are sent to the global chat channel you are in.
- $ are sent to the trade channel you are in.
- & are sent to your guild chat if you are in a guild.
You can leave global or trade chat by unchecking the "Join Global Chat" or "Join Trade Chat" options on the chat window.
Skills & Gems
Skill gems are the manner in which player characters are able to use and augment skills. Gems are placed in sockets by left-clicking it in the inventory to pick it up and then left-clicking it over the intended socket. Right clicking will remove the gem. Gems are either skills or supports, and skills come in several types whereof the two most common are Attacks and Spells.
Skill gems
Skill gems creates the skill. They can come in various forms, such as attacking or casting a spell, summoning a minion or totem, throwing a trap or placing a mine, activating an aura or buff effect, and so on.
Support gems
Support gems augments the skills, for example by increasing its power or adding more projectiles. The support gem needs to be linked to the gem to be active and the support needs to be able to support it. Reading the gem's tags is helpful in determining which support gems can support which skills. Common sense is also helpful - skills that don't do damage, such as Temporal Chains Temporal Chains Spell, AoE, Duration, Curse, Hex

Gem experience gain
- Gems are not affected by the experience penalty when facing enemies below your level.
- Equipped gems get experience equal to 10% of the experience you earn.
- The number of gems you have equipped has no effect on the rate of XP gain. So having fewer gems equipped does not cause them to gain XP faster than if you had many gems equipped.
- Gems do not lose experience when you die.
- Gems bought from Vendors gain experience and increase in levels when the player levels up. Gems dropped from monsters and containers are level 1, higher level gems can also drop from other sources, such as a Strongbox.
Damage Scaling and Effects
See also Damage Types. Understanding how damage scales is very important in Path of Exile. There are 5 main types of damage, which are Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, and Chaos. Fire, Cold, and Lightning are collectively known as Elemental Damage. Damage reduction from armour only affects physical damage.
Dual wielding
Dual wielding provides a bonus to attack speed and block chance. The attack speed bonus is applied multiplicatively with other attack speed modifiers. The default attack and most other skills will alternate between hands for each skill use. Some skills attack with both weapons at once and deal two hits (e.g. Viper Strike Viper Strike Attack, Duration, Melee, Strike, Chaos
Level: (1-20)
Cost: (6-10) Mana
Attack Damage: (155-442)% of base

). For skills that are weapon-restricted, both weapons must be compatible in order to use the skill.
Combining damage properties
Path of Exile uses wording that is as literal as possible according to the classifications listed on this page so that consistent damage calculations can take place. For example, take 
Spectral Throw Spectral Throw Attack, Projectile
Level: (1-20)
Cost: (5-9) Mana
Attack Speed: 110% of base
Attack Damage: (100-150)% of base
Effectiveness of Added Damage: (100-150)% Throws a spectral copy of your melee weapon. It flies out and then returns to you, in a spinning attack that damages enemies in its path.
Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:
Projectiles that have Pierced deal (0.5-10)% more Damage Place into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket. 
. It is a projectile attack that uses a melee weapon. This means that, for example, a passive node that grants 10% increased physical damage with Two-Handed Weapons will boost Spectral Throw's physical damage when used with a two-handed melee weapon such as a staff, but a node that grants 15% increased melee physical damage will not boost Spectral Throw's physical damage, because Spectral Throw is a projectile attack, not a melee attack. This approach to properties is true of all mechanics in the game, but is most often a source of confusion for damage stacking.
Damage conversion
Some skills and gear can convert one type of damage to another, resulting in a complex damage calculation. Damage conversion stacks additively, and is scaled down to fit 100% if total conversion exceeds 100%. Bonuses from different damages types are applied to the final product as though they were the same type - for example, if you had
100% cold to fire conversion
100 base cold damage
50% increased cold damage
50% increased fire damage
Then you would have 50%+50% increased fire damage (see the following section), or 100% increased fire damage. This means your final damage is
200 fire damage.
Modifier stacking
In general, integer modifiers are applied before percentages. Percentage modifiers using the words "% increased" or "% reduced" stack additively with one another, while "% more" and "% less" modifiers stack multiplicatively.
When dealing with weapons, some modifiers that are listed on the weapon itself are applied first, before mods from other pieces of equipment, skills, and so on. This includes anything affecting physical damage, such as increased physical damage, added physical damage, quality etc., and also attack speed, critical strike chance, and accuracy. It does not include elemental damage mods. These can be called local modifiers - any modifier marked as "global," such as %increased Global Critical Strike Modifier, is not applied to the weapon first.
Similarly, when dealing with armour, evasion, and energy shield on armour, any modifiers affecting those stats that are listed on the piece of armour are applied first. This includes quality and any other mods directly affecting armour, evasion, or energy shield amount. It does not include mods affecting the energy shield recharge delay or regeneration rate, only the amount of energy shield.
Imagine I have 100 life, and two passive skills that each increase total life by 15%. The total bonus will be 30%, resulting in 130 life. Now imagine I am wearing boots that give +40 life, and have a passive skill that grants +20 life. The integer bonuses are applied first, giving me 160 life, then the percentage bonuses are applied to that subtotal, for a final total of 208 life.
For example, let's look at a Samite Helmet with +69 armour, 92% increased armour, and 20% quality.
This Horned Casque has a base armour rating of 240. Then the +69 is added to get 309 armour. Then the 92% bonus from the item and the 20% bonus from quality are added together to give a 112% armour increase, for a total of 655 armour.
Another example calculation
If you had a sword whose unmodified damage is 10-20, with the following modifiers:
50% increased physical damage on the weapon;
20% quality on the weapon;
5-10 added physical damage on the weapon;
passive skills granting 30% increased sword damage;
a skill that does 40% increased damage and 30% less damage;
the calculation would look like this:
Base damage: 10-20
Stage 1, on-weapon modifiers: (10-20 + 5-10) x (1 + 0.5 + 0.2) = 25.5-51
Stage 2, all other modifiers: (25.5-51) x (1 + 0.3 + 0.4) x 0.7 = 30-61
Defensive mechanics
Movement Speed
The base movement speed bonus of your character is 0%, or normal speed. If your movement speed bonus is at 0%, then it will not be shown on the "Defense" tab of the character screen. However, if it is anything else, such as -2%, it will be shown in the "Defense" tab.
Shields and body armours have hidden intrinsic movement speed penalties. Body armour based on armour or armour and energy shield cause 5% reduced movement speed. All other body armours cause 3% reduced movement speed. Shields cause 3% reduced movement speed. These are the nonmagical components; unique body armours such as 
Queen of the Forest Queen of the Forest
Destiny Leather Evasion: (1803-2451)
Movement Speed: -3% Requires Level 59, 160 Dex (200-240)% increased Evasion Rating
+(60-70) to maximum Life
+(6-10)% to Fire Resistance
+(26-40)% to Cold Resistance
+(11-25)% to Lightning Resistance
25% reduced Movement Speed

can modify movement speed further.
Adventuring
Currency
Instead of gold or other forms of money, Path of Exile uses what are known as "currency items". Currency items are displayed with light tan text colour in their item name. In addition to their use as units of trade, each type of currency item can alternatively be consumed for a specific gameplay effect, such as in crafting or gambling a piece of equipment.
When you buy items from NPC vendors, those items will cost some amount of currency (usually low-tier currency). When you trade with players, be prepared to barter or haggle unless a player has listed a "buyout", a set price for the item. Exchange rates between currency items are generally set by the players, as currency items can only be traded up to the next level of currency at a vendor and not traded down.
If an item has reached the max number of sockets, it is impossible to use a Jeweller's Orb on it. If a 5-socketed item has reached 5 links or a 6-socketed item has reached 6 links, it is impossible to use an Orb of Fusing on the item. [1]
Here is some basic information on currency tiers which has been adapted from Noperative's guide. The tiers are player-defined and some players may not agree on them.

, 
Blessed Orb Blessed Orb Stack Size: 20 Randomises the values of the implicit modifiers of an item Right click this item then left click another item to apply it. 
Low-Tier: Currency that is rarely used for trading, usually people will try to buy these by the hundreds rather than accepting one or two due to how easy they are to get. A lot of people will just keep a few stacks of these currencies to use on their own items rather than going through the effort of selling them.
There is a general copper-silver-gold-like progression that can be memorized to help buy out or evaluate items from other players. The following orbs can be stored and used as currency in order to circumnavigate the process of bartering.
4 Orbs of Transmutation -> 1 Orb of Augmentation (NPC)
4 Orbs of Augmentation -> 1 Orb of Alteration (NPC)
8 Orbs of Alteration 1 Orb of Fusing or 1 Orb of Alchemy (between players; Alteration -> Fusing is NPC and players widely consider Fusing and Alchemy to be 1:1)
2 Orbs of Fusing or Orbs of Alchemy 1 Chaos Orb (Players)
Items on websites like poe.ninja are widely listed with buyouts in terms of chaos orbs, orbs of fusing, and divine orbs.
Other exchange rates vary over time and differ from player to player. The progression above is not considered a law when trading with players.
Items
Attribute requirements
Most gear has attribute requirements that must be met in order to equip it. These requirements come from the base item type and are unaffected by magical modifiers, quality, or number of sockets. If a gem has attribute requirements a character does not meet and the gem is socketed in an item then that character will be unable to use that item.
Level requirements
Most items have a level requirement that must be met in order to equip them. There are two factors that affect level requirements:
- The level of the base item type. This is the level that the item starts appearing (and is separate from the itemlevel that affects which magical modifiers can spawn on it). See the item data link above for a list with all item levels. Some of the very low-level base items do not come with a level requirement.
- The level of the magical modifiers. The level requirement for magical modifiers is equal to 80% of the level of the highest-level magical modifier on the item.
- The highest level requirement of the two listed above is the one that appears on the item.
