Importing and Exporting Builds

One of the most important features of Path of Building is the ability to import and export builds. By importing a profile from the Path of Exile servers, you can quickly set up your build without manually configuring gems, items, and skill trees. Subtractem demonstrates how to import profiles and highlights the importance of checking the configuration settings to ensure accurate imports.

On the other hand, exporting builds allows you to share your creations with others. Path of Building generates a code that contains all the information about your build, including skill trees, gems, items, and custom modifiers. You can share this code with friends or even post it on platforms like PoE Ninja. Subtractem explains the process of exporting builds and provides tips on using the generated code effectively.

The Options Panel

The options panel in Path of Building offers various settings and customization options. Subtractem highlights some key settings, such as enabling the thousand separator for better readability of large numbers, setting default gem quality to zero for league starter builds, and turning on build warnings to identify potential issues with your build. He also explains how to use the invert slider option and the importance of checking the build warnings regularly, especially when updating builds from older versions.

By mastering Path of Building, you can improve your understanding of your builds, optimize their performance, and become a more advanced player in Path of Exile. Stay tuned for the rest of subtractem’s tutorial series on different aspects of Path of Building!
