Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs. Many players are unsure why these amulets command such a premium. The answer lies in their potential for transformation into a highly valuable item. Let's explore the reasons behind this.
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 ingredients in crafting the coveted
Astramentis 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 top-tier unique item, significantly 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 rarity is the primary reason why normal Stellar Amulets are far more valuable than their enhanced counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully obtaining Astramentis via Orb of Chance are extremely low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck can play a role, the chances are slim.
The decision to sell or gamble rests entirely with you. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically yields 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market fluctuations. Alternatively, you can take a high-risk, high-reward gamble and try your luck at obtaining Astramentis.
Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis in PoE 2
To attempt the transformation, 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 type:
Astramentis (rare outcome)
Fixation of Yix (more common, less desirable outcome)
Amulet destruction is the most likely outcome if the gamble fails.
