there's a subscription service, you can purchase more inventory slots and storage, and you can use money to roll the gacha (which is almost entirely fashion)
the only thing i'd say is almost a required buy is 50 more inventory slots eventually, which is around ten bucks during sales. the subscription's main draws are mitigated in necessity these days; you can sell to other players via a pass that's not terribly hard to get from a free currency gacha that's farmable, and priority block access doesn't matter as much as it used to before multi-block matching. if you want to do EVERYTHING on one character, another ten bucks will let you get a mag for all attack types
for the most part, people spend money in this game on cosmetics.... or to sell those cosmetics to make ludicrous amounts of money. almost all cosmetics are tradable in this game
you can get by as a casual without spending money very easily, and the game is ultra casual friendly
Nifty. Playing for free except for spending some money expanding my stash after playing for a good long while is exactly how I played PoE, and I was quite happy with how well that went. Good to know.
