Path of Exile 2's trade channels constantly feature high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10-15 
Exalted Orbs. Many players are unsure why these amulets command such a premium. The answer lies in their potential and the methods used to enhance them. Let's explore the reasons behind their value.
Why are White Stellar Amulets so Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Unmodified White (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' 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 highly valuable Unique item, significantly increasing 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 elevates the value of White Stellar Amulets above their enhanced counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The probability of successfully crafting Astramentis with an Orb of Chance is extremely low. Attempting this with just a few amulets is generally unproductive. Even using a large quantity (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck is a factor, the odds are heavily stacked against a single attempt.
The choice to sell or gamble is entirely yours. Selling a White Stellar Amulet yields 10-30 Exalted Orbs depending on market conditions. Alternatively, you can risk it all on a potentially lucrative, but highly improbable, outcome. It’s a high-stakes gamble requiring careful consideration.
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:
- Astramentis (the desired outcome)
Fixation of Yix (a less desirable unique)
Fixation of Yix is the more common result if the gamble succeeds, making Astramentis a much rarer and more valuable prize. The risk of losing the amulet is significant.
