Level faster in Path of Exile
A transparent in-game overlay that auto-advances as you play. Zone-by-zone tasks, quest-aware gem rewards, and passive tree tracking — all pulled from your Path of Building XML.
What It Does
The overlay sits on top of your game and updates itself while you play.
Auto-advancing route
Reads your Client.txt log in real time. When you enter a new area, the guide advances to the next step.
PoB-powered data
Import a Path of Building XML and load skill links, passive tree progression, quest gem reminders, and notes.
Session persistence
Progress is saved per character/build and resumes automatically, so you can continue where you left off.
Features
Everything you need to level efficiently, without alt-tabbing to a guide.
Auto-Advancing Guide
Detects zone changes from Client.txt and advances your guide step automatically.
PoB Build Picker
Scans your Path of Building Builds folder and loads .xml builds directly, with optional custom build-*.json entries.
Skill Gem Tracker
Gem links grouped by PoB skill set with active/support styling and disabled gem visibility.
Quest-Aware Gem Rewards
Replaces generic quest reward tasks with exact gem names based on class and gems in your build.
Quest Gem Checklist
Shows pending quest and Lilly gems and lets you mark gems collected during your run.
Passive Tree Overlay
Visual tree with allocated, next, and future nodes to keep progression clear during leveling.
Build Notes Overlay
Parses Path of Building XML <Notes> and shows them in a separate in-game overlay.
Leveling Regex Helper
Preset and custom regex patterns shown in town and quickly copyable to clipboard.
Progress Persistence
Saves per character/build and resumes automatically.
Click-Through Overlay
Overlay stays pass-through unless interactive mode is enabled.
Setup Guide
Download, run, select your build, then play.
Game log path
The overlay auto-detects your PoE Client.txt from common locations:
If needed, click Browse next to Game Log on startup.
Select a build
On startup, the app shows your PoB Builds folder and detected .xml files.
Click a PoB build to load it, or click Change to point at another PoB Builds folder.
Optional custom build-*.json entries can also appear in the list.
Link your character
After selecting a build, type anything in Local chat in-game (press Enter and send a message). This links your current character.
Play
The overlay now advances on zone changes, shows route tasks and quest turn-ins, replaces generic quest gem tasks with exact gem names when applicable, and tracks passive points/tree progression.
