First you said POE 1 skins would transfer to POE2. Naturally, a bunch of us rushed to get top tier floaty-mc-floaty pants. Then you guys backtracked that comment, and said POE 1 skins would not transfer to POE2. Is that still the case? Looks like it... If anyone can clarify, let me know. Right now, after spending hundreds / thousands of USD in skins and only having a mere handful of random gambles available feels like a slap in the face. Doesn't help at all to get email reminding me I wasted 500+ USD: " Your Voidborn Reliquary Key submission has been approved and is now live as one of the available rewards! Furthermore, doing an 'upgrade' to a "merchant's tab" only to see it as 'unavailable' feels like yet-another slap in the face. I don't even know were you guys stand anymore. This ain't right. Or maybe my account is bugged and I should have a bunch of MTX available to me including the Voidborn MTX you guys said would be on POE2. I know you have a game to make... but every time I log in and I don't see my stuff... Yeah... It's just not okay.

Ayelen_GGG, Talk to your bosses. What's even the point of sending an email to support? If the "policy" won't change. Just make it right, for everyone.	Posted by BlackMarshes212#1072 on Dec 14, 2025, 10:12:19 PM Quote this Post
poe1 skins are being upgraded for poe2. Just at a disappointingly slow pace. My assumption is that the art team is still mostly working on act 5/6 items and the migration work will accelerate once they're done. 0.4 added all of these: " Enabled the following existing Rare Finisher Effect microtransactions for use in Path of Exile 2: Aesir Lightning Rare Finisher Effect , Anchor Drop Rare Finisher Effect, Black Hole Rare Finisher Effect, Blackstar Meteor Rare Finisher Effect, Consuming Tentacle Rare Finisher Effect, Dragon Fire Rare Finisher Effect, Necrotic Flames Rare Finisher Effect, Shark Attack Rare Finisher Effect, Sulphite Shatter Rare Finisher Effect. Enabled the existing Cathedral Armour Set, Dreadspire Armour Set, Corsair Armour Set, Corsair Hood, Corsair Helmet, Abyss Core Armour Set, Abyss Core Crown, Siren Armour Set, Siren Hood, Harmonious Armour Set, Gargoyle Armour Set and Glimmerwood Hat microtransactions for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Astral and Onyx Oblivion Weapon Effect microtransactions for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Stygian and Ebony Character Effect microtransactions for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Hummingbird Pet microtransaction for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Gorgon Shield microtransaction for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Celestial Wings and Jaeger Cloak microtransactions for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Lightning Footprints microtransaction for use in Path of Exile 2. Enabled the existing Celestial Tree Hideout Decoration microtransaction for use in Path of Exile 2. Your former merchant tabs show as read only in the stash because they're not managed from it. Instead they're handled via the NPC Ange in act 4. (in poe1 Faustus from act 6 does the same job.) Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
