In the sprawling world of Path of Exile 2, managing your loot can quickly become a daunting task-unless you invest in the right stash tabs. From the indispensable Currency Stash Tab that holds thousands of orbs and runes to the versatile Premium Stash Tabs that let you customize and organize your inventory with ease, choosing the best stash tabs can transform your gameplay experience. Whether you’re a trading mogul or a casual adventurer, knowing which stash tabs to buy will save you time, space, and frustration as you delve deeper into the dark fantasy realm.
Below, we’ve listed out some of the best stash tabs to buy and why you should buy them to help you with your purchase.
What are the best Stash Tabs to buy?
The best stash tabs to buy in Path of Exile 2 prioritize efficient inventory management and trading convenience. The Currency Stash Tab is essential, offering a highly organized space for all types of currency items and enabling easy public listing for marketplace sales. The Premium Stash Tab Bundle is a valuable investment, providing six customizable tabs that can be renamed and recolored for better organization and direct in-game trading. For gem collectors, the Gem Stash Tab remains useful for storing and sorting excess gems, especially in the endgame. Additionally, the Premium Quad Stash Tab is recommended for traders due to its large capacity and cost-effectiveness compared to multiple single tabs. These stash tabs collectively enhance gameplay by streamlining item management and facilitating trade.
Stash tabs are available for purchase in two different locations – in-game and the Path of Exile website. However, we do recommend that you purchase your stash tabs from the in-game microtransaction shop because the website shop does have stash tabs that are usable in Path of Exile, but not Path of Exile 2 – as it’s possible to buy something you cannot use in the sequel.
As of writing this article (Dec. 13), there are 20 stash tabs available for purchase (including guild tabs). Each has their own use, but here are the best stash tabs to buy for newer players and why:
The best of the best
- Currency (75) – If you had to purchase just one tab, it would be this one. The currency stash tab allows you to hold up to 5,000 of each currency, instead of the usual stacks of 20. This will save you a ton of space in your stash in the long run, and will provide you with some welcome organization. One currency tab is really all you’ll ever need, so don’t feel the need to purchase more than one.
The best
- Premium(40) – The premium stash tab is just like your regular stash tab except they allow you to trade on Path of Exile’s official trading board. You may not want to trade now, but trading will help you reach higher highs at a quicker pace. You can purchase the unique or rare that is perfect for your build rather than grinding and hoping that it magically drops to you. Save yourself some time and sanity, and look to the trading boards (with good trading habits).
- Premium Quad (150) – For those who are looking to become trading tycoons, premium quad stash tabs will provide you with four times the usual space of a regular stash tab. If you’re pricing items individually, you’ll be able to sell a lot of items out of just one tab. If you’re taking over the market, you could technically buy multiple premium quad stash tabs and set each tab to a price point for even more storage space. Additionally, if you’re going to buy four premium stash tabs anyway, you should save yourself 10 points as a premium quad stash tabs normally cost 150 points while premium stash tabs cost 40 points. Even if you’re not trading, these tabs offer a ton of space for your items, which is always valuable.
The best of the rest
- Gem (40) – The gem stash tab was a little more useful in Path of Exile as gems worked a little differently, but gems are a little more compact now that you can select which skill, spirit, or support gem you want. The tab is still very useful as you’ll rack up a lot of gems overtime and they’ll take up a lot of stash space. Having a dedicated tab also allows you to have a little organization and makes it easier to find your gems.
There will be more stash tabs coming to Path of Exile 2 that will be extremely useful, such as a map/waystone stash tab for those who make it to end game content.

Which stash tabs will maximize my storage efficiency in Path of Exile 2
To maximize your storage efficiency in Path of Exile 2, prioritize purchasing the following stash tabs:
-
Currency Stash Tab: Essential for holding large quantities of all currency orbs in dedicated slots, including a special crafting slot that saves inventory space and streamlines crafting and trading.
-
Premium Quad Stash Tab: Offers four times the storage space of a regular stash tab, ideal for players who need extensive storage for gear, crafting materials, and trading items. It also supports customization and public listing for trade.
-
Specialized Stash Tabs such as the Map Stash Tab, Essence Stash Tab, and Gem Stash Tab: These tabs automatically sort specific item types, helping keep your inventory organized and reducing clutter, especially useful for endgame progression and crafting.
-
Premium Stash Tabs or bundles: These allow naming, color coding, and public listing for trade, enhancing organization and trading efficiency. Bundles provide a cost-effective way to expand storage quickly.
In summary, start with the Currency Stash Tab for critical currency management, add Premium Quad Tabs for bulk storage, and include specialized tabs as your gameplay advances to keep your inventory streamlined and efficient.
Which stash tabs will best streamline my currency and crafting item storage
To best streamline your currency and crafting item storage in Path of Exile 2, the two most essential stash tabs are:
-
Currency Stash Tab: This tab is indispensable for managing all your currency items, such as Chaos Orbs, Regal Orbs, and various shards. It automatically sorts all currency types into dedicated slots, saving space in your main stash and making crafting and trading much faster and more efficient. It also features a special crafting slot that allows you to craft directly within the tab, further streamlining your workflow.
-
Essence Stash Tab: Essences are crucial crafting materials that can quickly clutter your inventory. The Essence Stash Tab provides dedicated slots for all essence types, keeping them neatly organized and easy to access. Like the Currency Tab, it includes a crafting slot for direct crafting, which saves time and reduces stash clutter.
Together, these two tabs maximize storage efficiency for currency and crafting materials by organizing items into specialized, easy-to-navigate spaces and enabling crafting directly within the tabs. For additional general storage, Premium or Quad Stash Tabs can supplement your inventory but won’t provide the same level of organization and crafting convenience as these specialized tabs.
