What Makes White Stellar Amulets Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Should You Sell White Stellar Amulets or Use the Orb of Chance
Path of Exile 2's trade chat buzzes constantly with players seeking White Stellar Amulets, often offering 10 or 15 Exalted Orbs each. This high demand might puzzle newcomers. Why are these amulets so valuable? The answer lies in their potential for transformation. Anyone paying this much either needs the amulet for a specific build or intends to convert it into something even more lucrative. Let's break it down.
What Makes White Stellar Amulets Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal-rarity Stellar Amulets—those with only the inherent "+# to All Attributes"—hold immense value. Using an
Orb of Chance on one can yield the
Astramentis Stellar Amulet, a top-tier unique amulet in the game.
Astramentis's power stems from its massive attribute boost (+80-120 to All Attributes). This synergizes exceptionally well with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another highly sought-after unique, which enhances attack speed and lightning damage based on Intelligence and Dexterity.
Crucially, only white (normal) Stellar Amulets can create Astramentis. Blue (magic) or yellow (rare) amulets won't work. This scarcity is the key to their high value.
Should You Sell White Stellar Amulets or Use the Orb of Chance?
The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are incredibly low. Even using 100 amulets might not guarantee success. While luck could strike, it's a risky gamble.
Selling a White Stellar Amulet will net you 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. The choice is yours: secure a guaranteed profit or chase the potentially enormous reward of Astramentis. It's a high-risk, high-reward decision.
How to Use Orb of Chance To Get Astramentis in PoE 2
To attempt the transformation, place the normal Stellar Amulet in your inventory, right-click the Orb of Chance, and left-click the amulet. The possible outcomes are:
- The amulet is destroyed.
- The amulet is upgraded to a unique:
Astramentis (the desired outcome)
Fixation of Yix (a less valuable unique)
Fixation of Yix is the more common result if the Orb of Chance is successful. Remember, failure means losing the amulet entirely.
