Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs. The reason for this significant value isn't immediately obvious to all players. This guide explains why these amulets command such high prices.
Why are White Stellar Amulets so Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal-rarity Stellar Amulets (those with only the implicit "+# to All Attributes") are key ingredients in creating the
Astramentis Stellar Amulet, a top-tier 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 incredibly well 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 craft Astramentis. Blue (Magic) or Yellow (Rare) amulets won't work, making the normal-rarity amulets far more valuable than their upgraded counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully obtaining Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are extremely low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck plays a role, the chances are slim.
The choice to sell or gamble is entirely yours. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically yields 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. Gambling offers a high-risk, high-reward scenario – a decision each player must make independently.
Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis in PoE 2
To attempt the gamble, place the White Stellar Amulet in your inventory, right-click the Orb of Chance, and left-click the amulet. Possible outcomes include:
- Amulet destruction.
- Upgrade to a unique sharing the same base. Two possibilities exist:
Astramentis (the desired outcome)
Fixation of Yix (a less desirable unique)
Fixation of Yix is the more likely successful outcome, highlighting the significant risk involved in using the Orb of Chance on White Stellar Amulets.
