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 Recipes|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.

Revision as of 01:24, 16 March 2013

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 in the case of the Orb of Regret.

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.

Shards and Fragments

Shards and fragments are obtained by selling items to vendors. They can be combined to form certain currency items by stacking them.

File:Transmutation Shard icon.png Transmutation Shard 20 Orb of Transmutation
File:Alteration Shard icon.png Alteration Shard 20 Orb of Alteration
File:Alchemy Shard icon.png Alchemy Shard 20 Orb of Alchemy

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:

ExileStats Currency Guide (exileex.com)
Exchange rates are determined solely by community input. Simple interface. No registration required. No advertising.
Currency Exchange Rates (poeex.info)
Users can suggest changes to exchange rates, but it is not dynamically updated and is subject to the admin's discretion. No registration required. Advertising is present.
Path of Exile Toolkit's Currency Parser (poetoolkit.com)
Tool for converting between different types of currency. Currently uses poeex.info for exchange rates[1].
Currency Calculator (poecalc.com)
Tool for converting between different types of currency. Default rates are rough estimations but can be set manually.

Vendor Prices Chart

Most orbs are purchasable vendors, and can thus be ranked like coins in normal currency. There are several progression tables below showing who sells what and what their equivalent value is in a measurable orbs.

Currency items that have scraps are italicised.

Main Progression
Orb Price Value in Alts Location
Orb of Alchemy 1 Regret 64 Act 3 (Clarissa)
Orb of Regret 2 Scouring 64 Act 2 (Yeena)
Orb of Scouring 4 Chances 32 Act 2 (Yeena)
Orb of Chance 1 Fusing 8 Act 3 (Clarissa)
Orb of Fusing 4 Jewellers 8 Act 2 (Yeena)
Chromatic Orb 3 Jewellers 6 Act 2 (Yeena)
Jeweller's Orb 2 Alterations 2 Act 2 (Yeena)
Orb of Alteration 4 Augmentations 1 Act 1 (Nessa)
Orb of Augmentation 4 Transmutations 1/4 Act 1 (Nessa)
Orb of Transmutation 7 Portals 1/16 Act 1 (Nessa)
Portal Scroll 3 Wisdoms 1/112 Act 1 (Nessa)
Scroll of Wisdom baseline currency 1/336 --
Scraps Progression
Glassblower's Bauble 8 Blacksmith Whetstone -- Act 3 (Hargan)
Blacksmith Whetstone 3 Armourer's scraps -- Act 2 (Greust)
Armourer's scraps 1 Blacksmith Whetstone -- Act 1 (Tarkleigh)

Act 3's Clarissa has all the Main Progression recipes.

Quick note on vendors and player economy

Vendor prices are a base value for comparisons, player market value will vary. Since players can't downgrade 1 fusing into 8 alts, 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 alts.

Don't forget that barter trading is not just what it is worth, it is also what you are willing to pay.
