Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 Exalted Orbs each. This significant value may puzzle many players. The high price reflects either a direct need for the amulet in specific builds or its potential for conversion into a more valuable item. Let's explore the reasons behind this.

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

Normal rarity 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), synergizing perfectly with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another highly sought-after Unique item. This combination significantly enhances 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 exclusivity explains the premium placed on Normal Stellar Amulets over their enhanced counterparts.

Sell or Gamble: What to Do with White Stellar Amulets

The odds of successfully crafting Astramentis using the Orb of Chance are extremely low. Attempting this with just a few amulets is generally unproductive. Even using 100 amulets might not guarantee success. While luck could favor you, it's a highly improbable outcome.

The decision to sell or gamble rests entirely with you. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically nets 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. Alternatively, you can take the high-risk, high-reward gamble and attempt to obtain Astramentis. It's a personal choice that each player must make.

Using the Orb of Chance for Astramentis in PoE 2

To attempt the gamble, 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, two possibilities exist:
  1. Astramentis
  2. Fixation of Yix

Fixation of Yix, the more common outcome, is significantly less desirable than Astramentis. Remember, failure results in amulet destruction.
