What Is the Value of PoE Currency

By Leo Jiang2017-08-15

In Path of Exile, the currency system is quite good and is one of the most innovative things that Path of Exile has offered to the online role-playing game, to be honest, there's no denying that it can be confused for beginners. As there is no central currency and a barter trading system, the variety of currency items that are being traded back and forth for buying and selling Path of Exile Items. Therefore, it is necessary for new players to familiarize themselves with how economy works in this game.

 

As most of veterans should know, trading itself is kind of a mini-game that follows a lot of real life rules and is an integral part of the gameplay experience. Some PoE Currencies are scarcer than others, so their values are different from each other. Trading ratios are central to the understanding of Path of Exile's economy, so remembering the important ones are crucial for not getting ripped off when you plan to buy stuff from other players and being able to make the most profit if you sell something.

 

There are many currencies in Path of Exile, commonly known as Orbs. They are not only just for trading, but also for crafting new poe items, so inflation is not a big problem. The trading ratios are dependent on the basic concept of supply and demand, so actually this game teaches quite a bit of real world economics and you may learn something if you want.

You can sell Orbs to vendors in exchange with other Orbs, such as the hot exalted orb, and it's a good place to start if you're familiar yourself with the currency items in the game. You have to be careful since some Orbs are actually worth more due to their usefulness in player trade, so you don’t want to sell those to vendors unless you want to shoot yourself in the foot.

 

Three Jeweller's Orbs can get a Chromatic Orb, which is not worth unless you need Chromatics. Four Augmentation Orbs can get an Alteration Orb, which is useful for Augmentations. Two Alteration Orbs can get a Jeweller's Orb, and four Jeweller's Orbs can get an Orb of Fusing, both of which are the same as the market value. An Orb of Fusing is at the same value as an Orb of Chance, but it's not worth selling to vendor since an Orb of Fusing is worth 4 Orbs of Chance in the market.

 

Four Orbs of Chance for an Orb of Scouring and two Orbs of Scouring for an Orb of Regret are pretty much valuable in market, so you can keep that in mind if you want to buy or sell Orbs of Regret. An Orb of Regret is equal to an Orb of Alchemy, which may not be worth it since Orbs of Regret are worth more than that in player trades. Since they're quite useful at around 2.5 Orbs of Alchemy for each one.

In player trade, they jump around depending on how much of a particular orb is in circulation and how much demand they pull in as for trading ratios. Also it has a lot to do with how many players farm a particular orb, which can make it go up in supply, which can make prices down.
