Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs. The reason behind this significant value often puzzles players. The answer lies in their potential for transformation into a highly sought-after item. Let's explore the details.

Why are White Stellar Amulets So Valuable in Path of Exile 2?

White (normal rarity) Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes" modifier, are key ingredients in crafting the Astramentis Stellar Amulet, one of the game's most prized 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 incredibly valuable Unique item, 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 are unsuitable. This scarcity explains the premium placed on White Stellar Amulets.

Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma

The odds of successfully obtaining Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are extremely low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck plays a role, the chances are slim.

The decision to sell or gamble is entirely personal. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically nets 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market fluctuations. Alternatively, you can risk it all for the potential reward of Astramentis. It's a high-stakes gamble, and the choice rests solely with the player.

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:
  1. Astramentis (highly unlikely)
  2. Fixation of Yix (more likely, less desirable)

The more common outcome, Fixation of Yix, is significantly less valuable than Astramentis. A failed gamble results in the amulet's destruction.
