This thread will give you an idea on what kind of loot is worth keeping to vendor for currency. In particular, anything with quality can be sold for quality boosting items.

In addition to what Kanil said: all small items (Rings, wands, some of the 1 handed weapons but not all of them, belts, anything that takes three slots or less) are useful to pickup if you need more wisdom scrolls, you can carry quite a few of them compared to any thing larger. But anything and everything can be traded for wis scrolls, so if you find something more helpful, its a good idea to pick that up instead and toss small items to make room.

Continuing from ragnar:
5. White is not special. Blue is Magic. Yellow is Rare. Brown (or orange, it can look like either sometimes) is Unique. Green is for quest items.
6. Your stash is global between all of your characters, so don't worry if your epic melee guy finds a rare/unique completely useless for him.
7. You will need cold resistance to beat merveil, or a larger amount of luck instead.

In early game I find myself needing to sell everything I find so far, just to get wisdom scrolls. I've already got 4 epic pieces of gear in an hour or so, and I'm beginning to horde all the gems I get. Started as a Cleric too, seems to be going good enough so far. And shops/transporters aren't too far between so I don't need to drop junk mid-run so far.

I enjoy this game already, though. The skills/slots and item upgrading and transforming is pretty damn neat.

You know, out of all of the descriptions I've heard in PoE, I think you're the first person to describe anything as 'cleric'.

Templar? He looks like a cleric, my bad.

Let me know if you get one.

[Hugehead]

Took the second one, thanks for the keys mate!

Looks like someone grabbed the first one, and didn't speak up about it... Tried to use it, PoE says it is invalid.

[Urist McBeanie]

Hmmmm, I guess they've both been taken then.

Open Beta trailer is up here.

It'll be on their youtube channel friday if you want higher quality.

[ragnar119]

Looks good, especially surprised with good voice acting in this game and the trailer.

There's now a download link for the client on PoE's main page, in the middle of the Open Beta banner.  (may require logging in)

The web DL is small (about 6 MB), allocates space for the actual data, and starts DLing game files.  On my nothing special 4 year old XP box, the full client is about 4.5 GB.   YMMV, depending on whether it trims the texture DLs to what the graphics card can handle.

Really liking PoE so far. Brings some fresh ideas to the ARPG table, and has a lot of polish.

That said, I do have some concerns about the future of the game. Global chat currently talks more about Blizzard than it does about PoE. It seems like a large portion of the PoE playerbase plays the game because they want to stick it to Diablo 3, rather than because they like PoE. As evidenced by past games with communities who were excited for the game because they hated another game, it doesn't translate into lasting success.

I really hope GGG sees financial success from PoE, but I have a sinking feeling in my gut that the angry Blizzard fanboys with rose-colored nostalgia glasses are going jump ship within the next few months.

D3 is like derails here: If people aren't talking, some bored (or troll) person will drag it back out and cause chat, though it'll be more complaints than anything.

I hope you're right! Thankfully they have the option to turn off Global/Trade with a click of a button so it's no skin off my back, but I really hope that the constant anger doesn't come to define the community.
