Are stash tabs worth?

Hello everyone!!

Today I was taking a look at the microtransaction shop and I was wondering if I should purchase some stash tabs since I saw some interesting offers.

Since I don't really know a lot about PoE I'm creating this thread in order to gather some opinions from the experts. So... here I go;


1) Is the blight/delirium/metamorph league stash tab for 100 points worth it?
I don't know if those systems would be worth to exploit, and, if so, if they will need a masive amount of stash space, which in this case I supose those tabs are totally worth it.

2) Delve stash tab!! I'm not really into delving… should I? And if I join the Delve-army… Should I get the delve stash tab?

3) Map stash tab… I really think this one is a must, but since I don't have it yet I would like to hear what the community thinks about it.

4) What do you think about the unique collection/divination/essence stash tabs?



I'll be waiting for your replies, thank you in advance!!

It really depends on how much time you commit to the game.

If you barely play beyond finishing the main storyline, map tab is a waste. But if you end up doing hundreds of maps over the course of a league, it's well worth it.

Currency - well worth it if you play enough, and unlike the map tab still can be plenty useful for someone who sticks to story alone

Essence - really convenient for sorting and potentially selling, but you have to like the game enough to play enough to find enough. If you do more than a handful of maps you probably will.

Delve - Very convenient if you use it, but a waste if you barely use delve or the crafting materials. You don't have to delve to earn those mats, but the league mechanic isn't guaranteed to provide them either.

Div - Depends on how you play. It definitely makes sorting easier and can hold a lot more than you would in regular tabs, but while there are some really expensive/valuable cards it's ultimately a matter of what you think is worth micromanaging. I don't like leaving most cards on the ground myself, even the low value ones.

Unique Tab - unless you're collecting for standard for the sake of collecting it's not really worth it.

metamorph - sketchy, the organ storage is great and having a place for catalysts outside the currency tab is nice - but really dependent on how much content you do that revolves around metamorph. I wouldn't recommend it on principle though as its really a result of bloat than value

Blight - A lot less useful compared to the metamorph tab. Easier to just use a regular tab that you can put other things in as well as needed

I would get a currency tab to start. The quad tabs are also nice for general storage, although a bit expensive; you will quickly run out of space in your four basic tabs if you play much at all.

Map tab if you get into maps and are having fun progressing your atlas.

Note that stash tabs go on sale about every 3 weeks.

1) "Worth it" is a matter of opinion. But I'd say no. It's the worst tab purchase by far. They just don't have much usefulness. Those three will be the first special tabs I won't buy.

2) Better than the blight/delirium/metamorph tabs, but still not all that useful unless you do lots of delving. During the Delve league, the items were not stackable. But now that they are stackable, it's harder to justify a special tab unless you are a serious delver.

3) Correct. The map tab is one of the most important ones. It's nice not only because it holds a lot of maps, potentially the equivelent of dozens of regular tabs, it also makes organization much easier. Just control click maps and they go to the right slots. The only negative is that third party stash tools don't work with tabs that have other embedded tabs.

4) Those are all nice tabs. Divination and Essence tabs make organization so much easier. The unique tab will free up a LOT of regular tabs. It only holds one of each unique, so you can't put dozens of the same item in there like other tabs. But unlike other special tabs, many of the uniques are BIG. so the unique tab still frees up a lot of other tabs. A few hundred size 6 and 8 items takes up a heck of a lot of room in regular tabs. However, the Unique tab will not be as useful until you accumulate more uniques.

The highest priority for tabs, is the currency tab, and some regular non-specialized tabs. When you are new to the game with only four tabs, I'd even put general purpose tabs higher priority than a currency tab. When new to the game, the currency tab is a convenience, but it doesn't really save much room. You just need more room for than four tabs.

According to the play command I have played for 4days 18hrs 12mins and 27seconds.

My currency stash tap has way less then 1 normal tab would hold
Have about 120 very low tier maps
The other 8 tabs 2 are empty and the other 6 nearly empty 1 a ew div cards, 1 a few offerings and map fragments so on and so forth.

Whilst the drop rates are at the current level they are not as important/useful as they used to be,

As a first time buyer, there is a first time pack for $20, which gives you an extra tab plus enough coin to buy a currency tab map tab and an extra tab at sale time.
