Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high-demand White Stellar Amulets, fetching 10 to 15 Exalted Orbs each. The reason behind this significant value often puzzles players. The answer lies in their potential and the choices players face.
This guide explains why these amulets command such high prices and helps you decide your next move.
Why are White Stellar Amulets so Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal-rarity Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes" modifier, are key ingredients in crafting the incredibly valuable Astramentis Unique Amulet. This transformation is achieved using an Orb of Chance.
Astramentis' exceptional power stems from its massive attribute boost (+80-120 to All Attributes). This synergizes perfectly with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another highly sought-after Unique item, enhancing attack speed and lightning damage based on Intelligence and Dexterity.
Crucially, only white Stellar Amulets can be used to create Astramentis. Magic (blue) or Rare (yellow) amulets won't work, making the normal amulets far more valuable than their upgraded counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are extremely low. Even using a large number of amulets doesn't guarantee success. While a lucky strike is possible, it's statistically improbable.
The decision to sell or gamble is entirely yours. Selling a White Stellar Amulet yields 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market fluctuations. Alternatively, you can risk it all for the potential reward of Astramentis. It's a high-stakes gamble requiring careful consideration.
Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis: A Step-by-Step Guide
To attempt crafting Astramentis: place the Normal Stellar Amulet in your inventory, right-click the Orb of Chance, and left-click the amulet. The possible outcomes are:
- Amulet destruction.
- Upgrade to a unique sharing the same base:
- Astramentis (rare)
- Fixation of Yix (more common, less desirable)
Remember, amulet destruction is a very real possibility. Weigh the risks carefully before attempting this high-risk, high-reward endeavor.
