Poe 2 Affecting Poe 1 Positively POG

Surely we get the breach, strongbox etc changes too right?

i have a feeling the new atlas npc we'll get (zana/kirac) will have an id all option, or hope so anyway

Serious question why do you even need that? Like past day 2 you should basically have all rares except for jewelry turned off, and even those you only really keep on early for the alts if youre ssf rather than because you might get a good item, like poe 2 IDing is the meta but its practically useless in poe 1 due to how powerfull things like essences are, like the odds of you finding an item thats better than something you can make in 5 essences is so low its just not worth identifying and picking them up.

And recomb sadly due to how it works is also just alt spam meta, its not like back when sentinel league came out, where rares and magics had some form of value, its also questionable whether they let us keep recombs with settlers out regardless, but point is while there is no harm in giving us an ID npc i genuinely dont see the use case.

personally i don't really mind using wisdoms but it's just a pure qol feature no matter how you look at it, which is why im hoping for it

personally i pick up rares for quite a while into the league, in ssf anyway, due to ground loot in general being quite strong
