Currency
Lua error in Module:Item_class at line 78: The item class name "Currency" is invalid..
The currency system in Path of Exile revolves around a variety of different orbs and scrolls. Each currency item serves a specific function in the crafting and enhancement of a character's equipment, or allowing restructuring of the character's passive skill tree.
Currency items are used to pay for items in player trading.
Currency items
Currency items can be found as drops from monsters or chests, bought directly from different vendors in town, or received through the use of the vendor recipe system by trading specific configurations of items to any town vendor. Currency items play a large role in the player to player trading system, with rare orbs able to be traded for powerful equipment, or even other types of orbs that a player might need at the time for crafting.
Basic currency
Basic currency items are those that have no specific drop restrictions (in-game wording: non-league), such as which areas or monsters they can drop from.[1]

Currency exchange resources
Exchange rates between different currency items is largely dependent on the item's scarcity and the demand for it by players willing to trade. Due to the continuously fluctuating nature of the Path of Exile economy, it is too impractical to keep an updated table of currency exchange rates here. Instead, please refer to these tools and resources:
- currency.poe.trade
- pathofexile.com/trade
- poe.ninja (single-page overview and value-over-time tracking)

Vendors and player economy
Vendor prices are a base value for comparisons, player market value will vary. Since players can't downgrade one Orb of Fusing into eight Orbs of Alteration, they may be willing to sell them for less. High-level players will tend to accumulate rarer currencies, and when they begin rolling maps and running them, may run out of smaller denominations such as wisdom scrolls and orbs of alterations.
Don't forget that barter trading is not just what it is worth, it is also what you are willing to pay.
