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 many players. Understanding this demand requires recognizing the item's potential and the strategies employed by those who trade them.

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

Normal (white) Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes," 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, which 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 drives the high value of Normal Stellar Amulets.

Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma

The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are extremely low. Attempting this with a single amulet is generally unwise, and even using 100 might not guarantee success. While luck could favor you, it's a significant risk.

The choice to sell or gamble your White Stellar Amulets is entirely yours. Selling typically nets 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market fluctuations. Alternatively, you can take a high-risk, high-reward gamble for a potentially much greater return.

Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis: A PoE 2 Guide

To attempt this, 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:
  1. Astramentis (less likely)
  2. Fixation of Yix (more likely)

Fixation of Yix, while a unique, is significantly less valuable than Astramentis. A failed attempt results in the amulet's destruction.
