About POE2Tools
Built by players who spent thousands of hours in Wraeclast.
POE2Tools started from a simple frustration: every league, I found myself re-deriving the same calculations in spreadsheets, re-checking the same rune interactions on Reddit threads, and wishing someone had just built a clean tool that did the math for me.
I've been playing Path of Exile since Closed Beta (2013) and transitioned to POE2 on day one of Early Access. Over the years, I've league-started as everything from ED Contagion Trickster to Righteous Fire Juggernaut, pushed 40/40 challenges multiple leagues, and spent more time in PoB than I'd like to admit. When POE2 introduced Runes of Aldur and Runic Ward, I realized these systems needed their own dedicated tools — not just wiki pages, but interactive calculators where you can plug in your actual numbers and get actionable results.
Why we built this
The POE2 community is full of smart theorycrafters, but the tools haven't kept up with the game's complexity. We wanted to fill that gap with:
- Calculators that actually help you decide — not just display data, but surface recommendations and highlight what matters for your build
- Instant updates after patches — our data pipeline can ingest new values the same day patch notes drop, so you never use stale numbers
- No account required, no paywalls — just open the tool and use it. This is a community project first.
- Mobile-friendly — because half the time you're alt-tabbing from the game or checking something on your phone between maps
What we offer
Rune Combination Calculator
Find high-synergy Runes of Aldur setups for any goal — mapping, loot, or challenge content.
Runic Ward Calculator
Estimate your effective HP from Ward, recovery windows, and how many hits you can tank.
Rune Database
Every Rune of Aldur with effects, difficulty ratings, rewards, and synergy analysis.
Guides
Practical guides written from real gameplay experience, not recycled wiki content.
Our philosophy
We don't pretend to have all the answers — POE2 is a living game that changes with every patch. What we can offer is a solid toolset that saves you time, reduces guesswork, and lets you focus on actually playing the game instead of juggling spreadsheets.
Every calculator, every database entry, every guide is written and maintained by people who actually play the game at a high level. We test our own tools in red maps, pinnacle content, and league challenges. If something feels off, we fix it — because we use it too.
Looking ahead
We're actively developing more tools — Verisium Crafting Simulator, Atlas Planner, and expanded database coverage for skill gems and unique items. As POE2 evolves, so will POE2Tools.
