How much grinding is in Path of Exile?

[Drifa]

I don't know much about this game, other than the massive passive tree thing, but i want to know how much grinding is in PoE, and if it tedious or not.

I guess it depends what you mean, essentially all ARPG are a grinding process of killing things to get better gear to kill tougher things. That said PoE has the most end game content of different things to do than any other ARPG. Especially for a new player, there are a lot of different types of content you can switch between so to not get too bored of one thing.

This game is one big grind

Ennh... yeah, kind of depends on what you mean.

At the end game you'll run a lot of the same maps, but there's iteration to layouts and the monsters vary.

But yeah... it's an ARPG, there's repetition. The devs have made a lot of effort to give you some variety, but at their core, most ARPGs are about doing the same thing over and over. It's an FTP game, I'd suggest giving it a try to see if you like how it feels.

well the studio is called grinding gear games so you're in for a wee bit of grind here and there. Game is fund though so I'd say the tediousness is measured by the goals you set to yourself and your willingness to achieve them..

The core gameplay loop of an aRPG is grinding.

*However*, this game has several crafting mechanics that mitigate that. There's still a lot of grinding though - just for currencies (used to craft the enchantments you want on your items) instead of loot.

The game is grinding.

Company who made PoE is called "Grinding Gear Games" , what do you think?

Basically if you just want to finish the main story, you wont need grinding at all, you can do that with items you find during the questing. If you want to play end game content, you gonna need to grind. Grinding allows you to craft/buy better gear, grinding is going to give you more levels, more skill gem levels,so yeah... PoE is all about grinding. It might not be your cup of tea, but people are enjoying it.

It's fun to play when you just want to relax. maybe listen to music. At least for me when I play alone.

You're literally always grinding for something.
