Top Picks This Week

Build Planners

3 tools

Build planners let you simulate passive trees, skill gems, and gear before committing any resources in-game. They are essential for planning endgame characters and optimizing damage or defenses.

Use MaxRoll to get the build concept, then import into PoB 2 to fine-tune your specific gear. Once you save in Path of Codex, the Oracle cross-references both.

Economy & Trading

4 tools

Economy tools track real-time currency rates, item prices and build popularity across the current league. Knowing what's cheap and what's expensive is the difference between a smooth league start and a frustrating grind.

Check PoE Ninja for market overview. Use Exiled Exchange 2 or Sidekick in-game when you need instant per-item pricing without switching windows.

Trade Tools

4 tools

Trade tools go beyond price checking - they manage incoming whispers, party invites and trade requests so you can focus on playing instead of handling a flood of messages.

Loot Filters

4 tools

Loot filters hide low-value drops and highlight valuable items with custom sounds, colors and icon sizes. A well-tuned filter is one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades you can make.

New to filters? Start with FilterBlade on Strict. Use Divine View if you want to fine-tune drops for your specific build and test before committing.

Regex Tools

2 tools

Regex tools help you find matching waystones, vendor items, gear, relics, tablets and currency without hand-writing complex search patterns.

Knowledge Databases

3 tools

Knowledge databases expose the raw game data: every item modifier, skill interaction, and passive node in one searchable place. When you need to know exactly how something works at the engine level, these are your sources.

Passive Skill Tree

1 tool

Passive tree tools help you visualize routing and find the most efficient path between keystones and clusters - useful for quick planning without opening a full build planner.

Information Resources

2 tools

Community wikis and Discords are where collective game knowledge lives - from obscure mechanic interactions to active developer discussions on new tooling.

Community Tools

1 tool

Community-built utilities that don't fit neatly into another category but are trusted by experienced players to fill important gaps in the PoE 2 ecosystem.

Trackers & Aids

1 tool

Progression trackers help you keep tabs on campaign milestones, gem upgrades, and character achievements - so nothing slips through the cracks across long league grinds.

Community & Media

1 tool

Stay up to date with patch notes, meta shifts, and community discussions through the official PoE 2 subreddit and social hubs.

Developer APIs & Data

1 tool

Structured game data exports and APIs used by developers to build the tools on this page. If you're building a PoE 2 tool, start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Path of Exile 2 tools does Path of Codex provide?

Path of Codex provides build comparison and item analysis tools focused on practical decisions: whether a build migration is worth it, where your character gains or loses power, and how an item should be evaluated before you craft or trade around it.

Does this page call account, notification, or settings services?

No. The tools index is a static public page built from local metadata. Individual tools may have their own authenticated or interactive flows after you open them.

How is this page updated?

The tools index is cached long-term and updated by deployment plus manual purge. It does not use periodic revalidation.

Can I still use these tools without an account?

Build Comparison and Oracle Item Advisor both expose useful public flows. Account-aware features are loaded inside the tools themselves, not on this static index page.

Bring it all together with Path of Codex

Open the tool that matches the decision in front of you. Compare a build migration, inspect a pasted item, or move into a deeper Oracle workflow from a dedicated tool page.
