poe-guide

Small CLI tool to help with Path of Exile Leveling

This app reads from the game's log file and will update what it's showing you based on the zones you travel to. It supports auto moving forward and backward from the current location automatically. If it gets stuck there are controls to move back and forward by act or step.

Installing

You can install a windows .exe file from the releases page on github, or globally install from a node.js installation:

npm install -g poe-guide

If you use the windows .exe you need to run it once with the -l flag (described below) and after that you can just double click to run as long as the default non-polling behavior works for you. If not make a shortcut with the -p flag added as described below.

Usage

You run the tool once with the location of your game log as the -l parameter. After that it remembers this setting and doesn't require it again. Depending on your system you might need to run with polling in order for it to accurately watch your game file.

So run something like this once, with the path to your game log:

poe-guide.exe -l "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\logs\Client.txt"

After that you can run without the -l parameter. Add the -p parameter if it's not recognizing your zone changes:

poe-guide.exe -p

Controls

The following keybindings are available when the app is running:

Key	Use
b	Go to beginning
e	Go to end
h	Go backward one act
l	Go forward one act
k	Go backward one step
j	Go forward one step
r	Reset death counter
q	Quit

Changes

Right now I'm sure it isn't perfect but can get me from Act 1 to 10 without looking at other guides. If you have any suggestions for changes please let me know either as issues on github.

I would love to eventually provide options where you can turn on or off different options (Such as "Do trials" or "All quests" or "Only passive quests" or "No extra quests") but for now it's just hardcoded to include all passive quests and the easiest of the non passive optionals.

Developing

You need Node.js to run this app from source:

# Install yarn if you don't have it
npm install -g yarn

# Install dependencies
yarn

# Run the app
./cli.js

I build the release exe files with nexe.
