Disclaimer

A disclaimer is usually where a site quietly disowns everything it just told you. This one tries to do the opposite: to be honest about what the guides here can be trusted for, where that trust runs out, and what stays your call no matter how confident a page sounds.

The Short Of It

Six disclaimers do most of the work on a site like this. Here they are at a glance, and the ones that need more than a sentence are expanded underneath.

Accuracy And Freshness

Guides here are written and reviewed by one person and checked against primary sources before they go up, which is set out in full in the editorial policy. That process makes them reliable, not infallible. A number that was exactly right the week it was published can drift out of true after a single patch, and no amount of care on our side changes that.

So treat dates as part of the information, not decoration. An old guide is not automatically wrong, but it has earned a second look, and anything we could not re-verify is marked rather than left looking current.

Not Professional Advice

Path of Exile borrows the language of finance, and it is easy to slip into treating a build guide like a stock tip. It is not one. Nothing here is financial, investment, legal or professional advice of any kind, and reading it creates no professional relationship. It is guidance about how to read data inside a video game, offered so you can make your own decisions with better information, not so you can outsource them.

Use At Your Own Risk

Every decision you make in the game is yours. If you spend currency on a build, chase an investment strategy, or restructure a character based on something you read here, the outcome belongs to you. Guides are offered in good faith and tested honestly, but they come with no guarantee of profit, safety or success, and the consequences of acting on them, including lost currency, items, characters or time, cannot be laid at the site's door.

Protect Your Account

External Links And Third-Party Content

Guides link out often, and on purpose, because pointing you at the primary source is usually the honest move. Those destinations, including poe.ninja, Grinding Gear Games, the community wiki and various tools, are run by other people. We do not control them, we are not responsible for what they publish or how they handle your data, and including a link does not mean we endorse everything on the far end of it.

Independence And Trademarks

This is an independent site. It is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by Grinding Gear Games or poe.ninja. Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2, along with their related names, marks and assets, are the property of Grinding Gear Games, and are referred to here only for identification and commentary. The about page explains the relationship, or rather the absence of one, in more detail.

Advertising And Affiliate Links

However this site is funded, the funding never reaches into a guide and changes what it says. If the site earns from advertising or affiliate arrangements, that is disclosed on the about page, and any recommendation here rests on whether the advice is actually good and on nothing else. There are no paid placements and no sponsored guides dressed up as editorial.

Opinions Are The Author's Own

Where a guide moves from fact into judgement, that judgement belongs to one person, not to any company or community. Reasonable players disagree about builds, strategies and what counts as worth doing, and that kind of disagreement is healthy rather than a sign the site is wrong. Facts are checked against sources. Opinions are labelled as opinions and offered for what they are.

Found Something Wrong

A disclaimer is not a licence to leave errors standing. If something here is inaccurate, out of date or misleading, that is worth reporting, and it gets checked against the source and fixed in the open. How that works, including how corrections are dated and logged, is set out in the corrections policy.
