PoE Tabula Rasa may appear to be a simple piece of cloth, devoid of any defense values or even the basic protection of a Simple Robe. However, a closer inspection reveals the true power of this item - it possesses six linked white sockets, allowing the wearer to socket any combination of gems to create powerful and devastating skill combinations. If you're looking to get a Tabula Rasa or other unique items in Path of Exile, here's a quick guide on how to do it early on in the game. Assuming you already have some characters that are around level 50 to 70, you can fairly easily get yourself a Tabula Rasa or other unique items by taking advantage of a specific mechanic in the game.

At levels one to five, there are very few unique items that can drop, which means you have a high chance of getting a Tabula Rasa, Goldrim, Wanderlust, or other powerful items. In addition, at low levels, you also have a high chance of getting a +1 level of a specific gem type, which is incredibly useful for certain builds.

To take advantage of this mechanic, you'll need to have some lead currency, as you'll need to spend a small amount to get started. However, this is not an exploit and has been balanced by the game's developers.

Here's what you need to do:

• Talk to Rog the Dealer and check out the simple robes he has for sale. These will often have useful modifiers like +1 gem level or damage multipliers.
• If you don't find anything you like, create a new character and try again. Each new character will have a fresh inventory of items, and you'll often have between one and six simple robes to choose from.
• If you do find something you like, buy it and use it on your new character.
• You can also check out the vendor for more +1 gem-level items.
• If you don't get the item you want, create a new character and try again. Don't waste currency on re-rolling the vendor's inventory.
• Repeat this process until you get the item you want.

Using this method, you should be able to get a Tabula Rasa or other powerful items in just a few hours of gameplay. Good luck, and let us know how it works for you!
