Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10 to 15 Exalted Orbs. Many players are unsure about this amulet's exceptional value. This guide will clarify why these amulets command such high prices.

Buyers either need them for specific builds or intend to transform them into something more valuable. Sellers need to understand the potential return on investment. Let's delve into the details.

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

Normal rarity Stellar Amulets, possessing only the implicit "+# to All Attributes," can be transformed into the highly sought-after Astramentis Stellar Amulet using an Orb of Chance.

Astramentis' immense power stems from its substantial attribute boost (+80-120 to All Attributes). This synergizes exceptionally well with the Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another top-tier 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 significantly higher value of Normal Stellar Amulets compared to their enhanced counterparts.

Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma

The odds of obtaining Astramentis via Orb of Chance are extremely low, making individual attempts unwise. Even using 100 amulets might not guarantee success. While luck is a factor, the chances are slim.

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

Using the Orb of Chance 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, two possibilities exist:
  1. Astramentis
  2. Fixation of Yix

Fixation of Yix is the more common (and less desirable) outcome if the gamble succeeds. A failed attempt results in the amulet's destruction.
