Import Export Tab - BigMilt/PathOfBuilding GitHub Wiki

Overview

The Import/Export Build Tab allows you to import builds directly from in-game characters or through a Path of Building code, it also allows you to export builds as Path of Building code.

This tab is separated into two windows:

  • Character Import Window
  • Build Sharing Window

Character Import Window

The Character Import window allows you to import characters into Path of Building directly from a Path of Exile account. You must first import an account, then you will be able to import a character from that account.

Account Selection

This process is simple and has three inputs.

  1. Realm

    • Dropdown Menu - Realm to check for the account on.
      • PC
      • Xbox
      • PS4
      • Hotcool
      • Tencent
  2. Account Name

    • Text Input - Enter the name of the Path of Exile account you want to import characters from in the left-hand textbox.
    • To the right of the 'Start' button, a dropdown selection of previously imported accounts is kept. Selecting from this dropdown will input the account name for you.
  3. Start

    • Button - Hit this button to fetch characters from the input account.

Once you have imported an account by pressing the 'Start' button the Character Selection process menu will display

Character Selection

The Character Import window will now show a range of new options, these are described below.

  • League
    • Dropdown Menu - Leagues the account currently has characters in.
  • Character
    • Dropdown Menu - Each character's name from the selected league is displayed. The character's ascendancy and level are also displayed.
  • Import: Passive Tree and Jewels
    • Button - Imports the selected character's Passive Tree and Jewels to the current build.
    • Checkbox - Delete Jewels - Deletes existing jewels from the current build when importing.
  • Import: Items and Skills
    • Button - Imports the selected character's Items and Skills to the current build.
  • Checkbox - Delete Skills - Deletes existing skills from the current build when importing.
  • Checkbox - Delete Equipment - Deletes existing equipment from the current build when importing.
  • Checkbox - Ignore Weapon Swap - Ignores items and skills in weapon swap when importing.
  • Build Sharing Window

    The Build Sharing window is used to import and export using Path of Building codes. This is the most common way that builds are shared, so you should be familiar with how to use this function.

    Exporting A Build

    To export your current build select the 'Generate' button at the top of the Build Sharing window. This will generate a Path of Building code which can be used by other users to import the build.

    Path of Building codes are very long, if you are planning on sharing your build with others (e.g. via Reddit, Discord, etc.) then you will want to use the 'Share' button to generate a shorter link which can be shared with others.

    There are two options for the 'Share' button, accessed via the dropdown menu to the left of the button:

    • Pobb.in<
    • PoeNinja Both of these options are web-accessible versions of your build, which allow them to be previewed in a web-browser rather than needing to be imported into Path of Building. Open in Path of Building buttons are available on both websites.

    Note: If you are exporting for use in the Party Tab make sure you select the 'Export Support' checkbox before generating your Path of Building Code.

    Importing A Build

    Importing a build from a Path of Building code or shortened link is incredibly straightforward and takes just a few clicks.

    Acquire the link (or code) for the build you are interested in importing in the textbox with "To import a build, enter URL or Code here" above it.

    Next, provided the link or code is valid simply select whether you would like to import to the current build or a new build with the drop down below the textbox, then hit the 'Import' button to import the build.
