Building a new PoE2 Overlay - Which overlay feature is a must-have?
Hey all!
I've spent the last month building POE2k - a PoE2 companion that merges in-game item lookup with full trade-site search.
Here's what it already does:
- Instant item lookup that we all know and love already.
- Built-in stat comparison (no more mental math)
- Trade-website-like search with tabs, but right from the overlay.
- Scroll-to-filter: tweak numbers on the fly with your mouse wheel.
You can view screenshots and short demos at poe2k.com
Which feature would convince you to try POE2k on day one?
Anything missing from your ideal overlay?

I’d want to see what similar items sold for in the past. Seeing what they’re currently listed at is great but I’d like to see what people actually paid for these items.
Cool, gotta try. I use overwolf for trade management conversations (hotkeys) and exile exchange to check item prices.
I use Exiled Exchange 2 and I love the popup window for my trades with time since request, quick actions such as "Give me 2 sec", Invite, Ty and leave party.
What Id like to see in item search is a bit more flexibilty in similar items. Id like some kind of weighted search or count search sometimes. I.E. I found boot with 2 T1 res, id like to compare it to all boots with Double T1 res, not just exactly the ones I have
- DPS tooltip for adding/removing nodes in the grid
Compatible with PoE 1 ?
I really like the command hotkeys in Sidekick you can configure to run /hideout, /guild, etc
That's amazing! I would love something like this. I enjoy Exiled Exchange 2 but I like the aesthetics of this way more. Do you have any link where I could donate to support your project?
A panel to show tallies for all equpped trial of sekhema relics. It's a pain counting to see if I have key breakpoints like max honour resistance and really should be built into the game.
This will be useful even if you have to "initialize" or "reset" the panel periodically by mousing over all the equipped relics.
Replace tiers with the old way where t1 is the best tier- ex show T1 instead of T8
Be open source to relieve concerns about malware, phoning home, siphoning data etc
I've always wanted something like a PoB overlay, where you can press a hotkey on an item and it'd show you how it'd change your stats. It's a massive engineering effort to save what's essentially a ctrl+c and ctrl+v, but it'd be handy.
A feature that lets me scan waystone and tells me which mod is dogshit and should be avoided and which one is fine to run
Making it run in full-screen instead of windowed boarderless. Sidekick and exile exchange are only compatible with windowed boarderless. Because of that, they crash the client a lot.
One thing that exiled exchange 2 does well is that total DPS on weapon or total armor/evasion/ES are calculated so instead of checking 2 boxes for 2 mods like %ipd and flat phys you just check one box that calculated total pdps.
Also pseudo search is a GODSEND in EE2, saved me so many times from overpricing my stuff
A "notepad" like feature to save regex terms, maybe with keybinds to automatically apply the regex terms to the searchbar in the stash? I have a notepad with regex to filter out maps, but I need to minimize, copy, then paste. If the overlay save them for me it would be helpful
Auto Blacklisting of users with multiple counts of price fixing. If you have to calculate the probability of prices being fixed, you might as well display that next to search results (and put a button next to that to add to ignore list, for those who don't want it done automatically). This would be incentive enough for me to use the app, knowing that by doing so I'm doing my part to immunise against the trade virii.
One that doesn't have to have trhe game played in windowed mode to function properly. Also maybe to auto ignore all the BS trade site posting where people put perfect items for one regal orb so it shows up at the top of the list just to show off.
Also the list of trade messages is really useful
Trade buttons UI like invite, highlight item, ask if the buyer is still interested, just like POE Overlay II, that's the only thing that holds me to that overlay
Overwhelming, the biggest issue I have with the existing overlays is the lack of proper trade comparisons. As an example, if I have an item with 33% cold resistance and 38% fire resistance, I want to search for items with a weighted sum of cold, fire, and lightning resistance of 71% resistance. But in the current ones, I can only search for those two specific resistances as single searches. If an overlay could auto fill in the best searches for weighted sum stats, and then let me tweak them as needed, I would instantly switch.
Beer Vendor?
Well dressed and presented app, but potentially a malware
Any way to get a quasi economy view built in?
I’m thinking Poe.ninja economy days they had for poe1. I believe the APIs for PaoE2 are still lacking hence nothing like that in Ninja, but it’s annoying to sit there and click through Alva’s currency exchange or trade site to see current div-chaos-exalt exchange values or which deli/ritual/breach/etc items are worth farming etc.
Even a few simple ones at a glance would be super helpful.
Map modifiters counter <- or i miss something but with alt it wont show and some mods are duble so is hard to count it
I miss total resistance counter - that is not implemented in exile exchange.
Can you put in a feature for search that already contains good regex, please? So I can have a base to tweak off of, and also know what to just auto-disench or bench from my dump tab?
How can someone can do something like this is astonishing to me....good luck and I really hope this project of yours goes all the way! 😁
Looking at the site, I would definitely like to see something like the compact onhover item display that EE offers when checking prices (in config options). Just being able to see a very small list of the mods in text format of the next 2 higher priced items with their listed time is invaluable for pricing estimations.
The biggest frustration I currently have with EE is when Im looking at something in, for instance, a ritual window, and just trying to get a simple estimate of its value, and it throws me this massive bulk selling table that I personally find completely unreadable. Like, I just want to know what one of the things cost, so I can know whether to take it. This holds true for every item that is typically sold in bulk with that tool. Super frustrating, and would like to see a simple, clear display of the single item price for the top 30-50 or w/e will fit.
