Anything worth getting in the store?
Worth, like inventory slots, maybe teleport spells, I cant imagine what this exploits. Not in the market to look cool, who cares about that. I want mechanic unlocks or simplifiers.

Get a currency stash tab and take a look at the other tabs. Nothing else they sell changes gameplay.

It's ok.

Currency stash tab and Map stashtab are the only ones needed if you want to really play past Act 10
You will have ~ 100+ maps pretty soon and its a real pain organizing them without map tab
i also have the essence tab , delve tab , fracture tab and 4 additional premium tabs

i would say all are worth it 100%
i still have some currency left over but i cant think of anything really worth it atm....

gem tab is nice but not really needed.... i only save gems with at least 17%+ quality in my stashtabs and so a normal stashtab is enough space

Unique Tab is nice but not really needed.
Same idea... i only save good uniques in stash tabs and so i dont need the space
rest gets sold anyways...

blight tab ?
Well i love doing blight when i have a good build for it but oils are cheap enough
that you dont really have to craft them yourself...

I appreciate your educated and informative response.

Actually you don't need map tab. You can drop them in one of basic tabs and when it filled clear from low tier maps that you won't play anyway.

Well doing maps without map tab is for sure a pain....
possible ? yes
fun ? hell no

I did play without map tab for 1 year
after i bought it -> endgame did become so much more fun

Ask yourself if your going to play long term! If so then invest. If short term then test the waters before buying anything. Remorse buying comes in many ways..

If you are playing more than 6 years like me, then buy the tabs. If not don't bother. Game is boring as time passed. I have stopped 3 leagues ago.

The fragments tab is also really nice to have just for the wide range of random things it stores for you.

Seems to me like he is looking for a "pay to win" option....
To dissapoint you...thats not the fact here.
People buy some things for their chars to look better, to be special and last not least to support the Devs....even they must eat ;)
Maybe some want to show this...like...look at me...i support the game....(because the shop is very expensive) BUT....HEY...thats ok for me...and should be for you too.
Its a free game with tons of features and many many missions....its fun...its nearly free of bugs....so what?

Stash tabs are the most worthwhile buying as you will quickly fill up the free initial four tabs (through you have 23 chars without using store through so you can use spare char slots as mules).

Currency tab is best, lets you store all the different currencies you'll be getting easily. Map tab is good for organizing your map collection end game. Also may want to get a premium tab (or upgrade an existing tab to one) for trading. These are the best options I'd say but an Unique tab can also be nice if you're a collectionist.

If you do buy tabs, wait for a stash tab sale. They're usually seem to be every couple of weeks (~3-4) or so. Also, buy the First Blood starting pack first if you have not done so. This one time pack will net you a bonus stash tab + free weapon/shield cosmetic and same amount of shop gold which you will then spend on the sale for tabs.

I can't imagine playing without the currency, map, and essence tabs. Worth the cost, 100%. Premium tabs are also very, very, very handy for the filtering and customization. I don't care about cosmetics, I use the ones I get free from challenges, at most.

Essences i have mixed feelings though.
you only need the essence tab if you plan on going for selling essences during the first 2 weeks of a league imo. in that case you really need it for the several hundreds of essences you will farm

1.) Invest into Essence atlas tree
2.) Farm Essences big time on low tier maps
3.) Sell them in bunch for people who are crafting.

you can also just completely ignore essences and just buy them for crafting bases later on.
They get really really cheap after some weeks.
In week 1 most Shrieking will sell for 2 chaos and Deafening for 3 chaos +
in Week 6 some Shrieking will need time to sell on 0.5 chaos....
it took a really long time to sell most of my Shrieking mid league when i was offering them in bunches like 7 essences for 4 chaos T_T (In the end they all sold... but some took weeks before someone wanted them)

And especially for next league i am not sure how profitable it will be to farm and sell essences at the start of a league.
several big streamers showed this as the nr.1 way to make easy currency at the start of a league

which means lots of people will do it and prices will go down -> less profit

So Essence tab i would say you only want either for playing SSF when you farm essences for crafting yourself or if you plan to farm and sell them early in a league.

If you play normal imo you can just ignore essences and buy them cheap mid league

Stash tabs is the only worth/mandatory thing in there. All you really need to start with is currency stash tab and at 1-2 premium stash tabs, However having one of each specialized stash tab and a ♥♥♥♥ ton of premium ones is really the way to go if you want to get deep into the game, but you don't really need all of them to progress. The only "mandatory" ones are the currency one and 1 or 2 premiums to be able to trade items.

Personally i started with 1 currency, 5 normal, 3 premium and it was more than enough for 1k hours+, although now that i bought all the ones i was missing and converted all my normal ones to premium i have to say the convenience difference is enormous and you save a LOT of time by having all of them.
