As a highly anticipated sequel and expansion to the original Path of Exile, Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) is generating significant excitement within the gaming community. This enthusiasm stems from its promise to enhance the beloved features of the original game while introducing substantial improvements and new elements.
PoE 2 will be free-to-play, but if you wish to secure early access to the game on December 9, 2024, you'll need to purchase a Supporter Pack. There are six distinct Supporter Packs available for purchase. This guide aims to help you decide which one is the best fit for you.
1. Early Access Pack (30 USD)

Hideout is a personal space similar to a house in other games, allowing players to decorate their area, invite NPCs for various services, host visitors, and craft or trade currency in PoE 2. If you enjoy hideouts, you'll be excited about the King of the Faridun Pack, as it is the first pack to introduce a hideout: the moving Dreadnought.
The cosmetic armor sets from the King of the Faridun Pack are shinier compared to those from the previous pack. For instance, the King of the Faridun Back Attachment equips you with two powerful pillars that can control and manipulate lightning. These pillars periodically release their energy in a powerful blast while you are in town, hovering in a circular formation around you and arcing lightning between them to create a barrier of energy.
It's important to know that each pack not only brings you new rewards but also includes everything from the previous tier. That's right—you'll score all the amazing goodies from the earlier pack, too! It's a double win that makes each upgrade even more thrilling!

This pack also offers the most dazzling cosmetics. The Liberator of Wraeclast Armour Set is crafted with exceptional detail and high-quality materials. This set, along with its back attachment, showcases intricate designs that include shattered glass mosaics infused with divine power, making it a visually striking addition to your character.
Another great feature of the pack is the Beacon of Salvation Hideout. It allows you to use a boat to row from one location to another within your hideout. Additionally, each person in your hideout can have their own boat.
Furthermore, you can obtain the Window to Twilight Portal Effect and the Throne of the Ruler Map Device. The Window to Twilight Portal Effect is a stunning piece of mosaic art that shatters to reveal a gateway to your desired destination as you approach it.
Portals in Path of Exile are essential for instant travel between locations. They facilitate party coordination, help navigate maps, and provide emergency escape routes during battles. In PoE 2, the Throne of the Ruler Map Device significantly enhances your portal experience. It features a throne where you can sit and oversee your growing kingdom. This not only allows you to showcase your cool experience but also provides an opportunity for others to enjoy it as well.
