Price check items without leaving the game

Evaluate is PoE Overlay's in-game price checker. Hover over an item and open Evaluate to get an instant estimate, then refine the prepared trade search when you need a closer comparison.

How it works

1. Open the item check

Hover over an item in-game and use your configured Evaluate hotkey.

2. Get an instant estimate

See the current exchange price or an estimated item value.

3. Refine when needed

Open the prepared query, switch pricing profiles, and compare relevant trade listings.

Different items, different pricing

Currency Exchange items

Items without variable modifiers or rolls are straightforward to compare. PoE Overlay reads their current Currency Exchange value directly, and Market History shows how their price and supply have moved.

Crafting bases and equipment

Base type, item level, rarity, modifiers, and the crafting options available in each game can all matter. Evaluate starts with a useful query for the kind of item it detects.

Unique items

Unique prices often depend on modifier rolls. Some uniques can also have different modifier combinations, making the exact version and its rolls important in both games.

Instant item and stash price estimates

For items outside the Currency Exchange, a machine-learning model trained on real sales estimates their value without querying the trade website first.

Stash Tracker uses these estimates to value many items without querying the trade site for each one.

Every prediction is an estimate, not a guaranteed sale price. Use it as a fast first pass, then inspect unusual or valuable items more closely.

Crafting bases work differently in PoE 1 and PoE 2

Path of Exile crafting bases

In PoE 1, you can return a rare item to normal rarity. A valuable base can therefore retain its crafting value even when it is currently magic or rare.

  • Base type and item level remain important
  • Influences, implicits, and fractured modifiers can matter
  • Current rarity does not erase the underlying base value

Path of Exile 2 crafting bases

In PoE 2, a magic or rare item cannot be returned to normal rarity. A good normal base is therefore more valuable for crafting than the same base after its rarity has been upgraded.

  • Normal, magic, and rare bases are searched separately
  • Item level and relevant base properties still matter
  • The initial query preserves the item's current rarity

Useful trade queries from the start

PoE price checker profiles for a crafting base and crafted item

Evaluate prepares a query for the item it detects. If it looks like a crafting base, the Crafting Base profile searches its base properties without valuing its random modifiers.

Switch to Quick Price, Exact Match, or Broad and the relevant modifiers carry into the new search. You do not need to select every stat again.

Hand-tuned rules also set the right range direction for each modifier. Some rolls are better higher and others lower, so Evaluate applies the useful minimum or maximum for you.

No starting query is perfect for every item, but this gives you a useful query to refine instead of rebuild.

Current prices and Market History

For Currency Exchange items, a current price is only part of the story. Market History shows recent price, quantity, and movement so you can see whether a market is stable, rising, or falling.

Frequently asked questions

Hover over an item and open Evaluate, the in-game price checker, using its configured hotkey. PoE Overlay reads the item details, preselects useful stats, and lets you refine the search before comparing relevant trade listings.

Yes. PoE Overlay provides the price checker for Path of Exile, while PoE Overlay II provides it for Path of Exile 2. Install the version made for the game you play.

For items outside the Currency Exchange, a machine-learning model trained on real sales estimates the item's value. It does not need to query the trade website first, so individual checks are fast.

In Path of Exile, a rare item can be returned to normal rarity, so a valuable base can retain its crafting value regardless of its current rarity. Path of Exile 2 does not let players reverse a magic or rare item to normal rarity, which makes good normal bases more valuable than comparable magic or rare bases. PoE Overlay accounts for each game's search rules when preparing a base query.

Yes. Higher is not always better in Path of Exile. Hand-tuned rules determine the useful direction for each modifier and apply the appropriate minimum or maximum range automatically.

Prices are estimates, not guaranteed sale prices. Modifier rolls, combinations, demand, and timing can change what a buyer will pay. Compare relevant listings before deciding on a price.

Currency Exchange prices and trade results come from the official Path of Exile trade market. Price predictions for other items come from PoE Overlay's machine-learning models trained on real sales.

Yes. Stash Tracker estimates individual item and stash slot values in both games. Total stash value tracking is available for Path of Exile only.

Yes. PoE Overlay is free to use and supported by optional, lightweight ads. You can upgrade to Premium to remove ads, unlock Premium benefits, and support development.
