Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat consistently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs each. This significant value often puzzles players unfamiliar with their unique purpose. The high price reflects either their direct use in specific builds or their potential for conversion into something even more valuable. Let's clarify their worth.
Why Are White Stellar Amulets So Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Normal-rarity Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes" modifier, serve as the key ingredient for crafting the
Astramentis Stellar Amulet, one of the game's most coveted Unique Amulets. 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 prized Unique item, which significantly enhances 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 exclusivity explains the premium placed on Normal Stellar Amulets over their enhanced counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully obtaining Astramentis via Orb of Chance are extremely low. Attempting this with only a few amulets is generally unproductive. Even using 100 amulets might not guarantee success. While luck could favor you, the probability is slim.
The decision to sell or gamble your White Stellar Amulets is entirely personal. Selling one can yield 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. Alternatively, you can risk it all on a potentially lucrative, yet highly improbable, gamble. It's a high-risk, high-reward scenario requiring individual assessment.
Using Orbs of Chance to Hunt 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. For Stellar Amulets, this means:
Astramentis
Fixation of Yix
Fixation of Yix, the more common unique, is the more likely (though still less desirable) outcome if the gamble succeeds. A failed attempt results in the amulet's destruction.
