To access your personal base, navigate to the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use a more direct method by typing the command /hideout in the game chat.
What Types of Hideouts Exist?
Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you'll start with a single type of personal base. To access additional Hideouts, you'll need to continue exploring the Atlas of Worlds and find new maps marked with Hideouts. Eventually, you can collect all four types:
- Felled
- Limestone
- Shrine
- Canal
To switch between these types, interact with NPC Alva and select the appropriate option from the menu.
Hideout Customization
Once you've gained access to your Hideout, Path of Exile 2 allows you to unleash your creativity in its customization. You can arrange objects and NPCs to your liking, rotate and move items, and add or replace decorations. There's also the option to import designs from other players or export your own to share with friends.

For optimal functionality, consider placing key NPCs like Doryani for item identification, Ketzuli for disenchanting items, and Alva for currency exchange near the entrance. Don't forget to set up Stashes and a Waypoint for convenience. While efficiency is crucial, remember that aesthetics matter too, as other players may visit your Hideout.
