Acquisition

Acquisition is an inventory management tool for Path of Exile that has been around for over a decade:

• You can download all of your stash tabs and character inventories for offline search.

• You can list items for trade using forum shop threads, which are indexed by the official trade site. This allows you to list items in remove-only tabs as well as character invetories, which are not otherwise indexed on the official trade site.

Acquisition can run on Windows, macOS, Linux.

You can download setup packages from the releases page.

Building Acquisition

Acquisition is written in C++ and uses the Qt widget toolkit. It was originally a qmake project, but has been migrated to cmake.

Qt

Acquisition should be buildable with Qt Creator (Community) on any platform that supports Qt 6.5.3 LTS.

Acquisition depends on the following Qt modules, which should be installed from the Qt Maintenance Tool:

• Qt HTTP Server
• Qt WebSockets

Microsoft Windows

On Windows you can also build Acquisition with Visual Studio 2022 and the Qt Visual Studio Tools extension.

Windows releases are currently built with:

• Windows 11
• Qt Creator 14.0.1 (Community) with Qt 6.5.3 LTS using the compiler from Visual Studio 2022 (for release builds)
• Visual Studio 2022 with Qt Visual Studio Tools 3.2.0 (for editing, debugging, and testing) and Qt Vs CMake Tools 1.1
• Inno Setup 6.3.3 (for installer creation)

Apple macOS

macOS releases are currently built with:

• macOS Sonoma 14.7 on Intel silicon
• Qt Creator 14.0.1 with Qt 6.5.3 for macOS
• XCode 16.0

Linux

Linux releases are distributed as an AppImage and built with:

• Linut Mint 20 Cinnamon
• Qt Creator 14.0.1 with Qt 6.5.3 GCC 64bit
• OpenSSL 3.0.15 as provided by the Qt Maintenance Tool
• linuxdeploy

In order run acquisition, your LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include a directory that has OpenSSL 3.x libraries. If you are building acquisition, you can use the shared libraries provided by Qt, which are refernces in CMakeLists.txt. Otherwise you may have to download and install a compatible version of OpenSSL yourself unless your distribution provides one. This is because linuxdeploy blacklists the OpenSSL libraries for sercurity reasons.
