Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs. This significant value might puzzle some players. The high price reflects either a direct need for the amulet in specific builds or its potential for conversion into a more valuable item. Let's break down the reasons.
Why are White Stellar Amulets So Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal (white) Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes" modifier, are key to obtaining 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 perfectly with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another highly valued Unique item, significantly enhancing attack speed and lightning damage based on Intelligence and Dexterity.
Crucially, only white Stellar Amulets can yield Astramentis. Blue (Magic) or Yellow (Rare) amulets won't work, making the normal variant exceptionally valuable.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are incredibly low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck could favor you, it's a risky proposition.
The choice is yours: sell your White Stellar Amulets for a guaranteed return of 10-30 Exalted Orbs (depending on market conditions), or take a chance on the potentially enormous reward of Astramentis. It's a high-stakes gamble, and the decision rests solely with the player.
Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis in PoE 2
To attempt the gamble, 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. For Stellar Amulets, this means:
Astramentis (less likely)
Fixation of Yix (more likely)
Fixation of Yix, while a unique, is significantly less desirable than Astramentis. The risk of losing the amulet entirely is substantial.
