Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs each. Many players are unsure why these amulets command such a premium. The answer lies in their potential for significant profit or powerful build integration. Let's explore the details.
Why are White Stellar Amulets So Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal rarity Stellar Amulets (those with only the "+# to All Attributes" implicit modifier) are key ingredients in crafting the highly sought-after 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 perfectly with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another highly valuable Unique, enhancing attack speed and lightning damage based on Intelligence and Dexterity.
Crucially, only White Stellar Amulets can yield Astramentis. Magic (Blue) or Rare (Yellow) amulets are unsuitable. This scarcity explains the superior value of Normal Stellar Amulets.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are extremely low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck can play a role, it's a significant risk.
The choice to sell or gamble is yours. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically nets 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. Alternatively, you can take a chance on obtaining Astramentis – a high-risk, high-reward proposition.
Using the Orb of Chance for 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. Possible outcomes include:
- Amulet destruction.
- Upgrade to a unique sharing the same base. Two possibilities exist:
- Astramentis (the highly desirable outcome)
- Fixation of Yix (a less valuable alternative)
Remember, amulet destruction is a likely outcome if the gamble fails.
