How do I copy items to POB?

Answered by Cody Janus

Copying items to Path of Building (POB) is a simple process that allows you to import item details from the game into the POB program. This can be useful for theorycrafting and planning your character build. To copy an item to POB, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Path of Building program on your computer. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the official POB website.

2. In the game, locate the item that you want to copy to POB. This can be any item, such as weapons, armor, accessories, or jewels. Hover your cursor over the item to display its details.

3. With the item details displayed, press the Ctrl key and hold it down. While holding the Ctrl key, press the C key to copy the item details to your computer’s clipboard. The item details should now be saved in your clipboard.

4. Return to the Path of Building program and open the character you want to import the item into, or create a new character if needed.

5. In the POB program, locate the item slot where you want to place the copied item. This can be a weapon slot, armor slot, or any other relevant slot. Right-click on the item slot to open a context menu.

6. In the context menu, select the “Import Item (Ctrl+V)” option. Alternatively, you can press the Ctrl key and the V key simultaneously to paste the copied item details into the item slot.

7. After pasting the item details, the item should now be imported into the POB program. You will be able to see all the relevant stats, modifiers, and properties of the item in the respective item slot.

8. Repeat the above steps for any other items you want to copy to POB. You can import multiple items into different slots to fully equip your character and analyze the overall build.

It is worth noting that POB supports a wide range of item types, including unique items, rare items, and even custom items. However, keep in mind that POB may not always accurately reflect the exact in-game values of the item due to limitations or discrepancies between the game client and the program. Therefore, it is recommended to cross-reference the imported item details with the actual in-game item to ensure accuracy.

Copying items to POB is a convenient way to plan and optimize your character build, allowing you to experiment with different gear combinations and maximize your build’s potential.
