How To Link Items In Path Of Exile (PoE)

In a game like PoE, items are essential to level through the game. You can share the items, and others can see them along with their stats. The sharing of items is also known as linking items.

You can link your items in many places in the game, like Chat, Forum, Whispers, etc. In this guide, we will explore where you can link your items. Along with that, we’ll also discuss how to link the items and share them.

First, let’s start with where you can link the items you have in your inventory and the procedure to do it.

How To Link Items in Different Locations?

If you want to show the items in your inventory to your friends, linking items is the ideal way. You can also link items from the Stash Tabs but not from the Guild Stash. You need to transfer items from the Guild Stash to your inventory first.

So, let’s talk about where you can link your items and how to do it.

Local Chat

In local chat, you can communicate with other players in your nearby area. You can link your inventory items in local chat by following these steps.

Open Path of Exile.
Press “I” on your keyboard to open your inventory or another key you assigned for inventory.
Now after opening inventory, press “Enter” on your keyboard or another key you assigned for the chat key.

Hold “Ctrl + Alt” keys on your keyboard and then left-click on the item you want to link.

This will link your item to the local chat, and players can see the item you want to share with the players nearby you.
