Currency

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.

Orbs and Scrolls

Name	Stack Size		Description	Category A Scroll of Wisdom is a currency item that can be used to identify Unidentified items and strongboxes. This reveals their modifiers, and in the case of items, allows them to be equipped. Scroll of Wisdom is the most commonly-dropped currency item in Path of Exile. Newly created characters start with 3 Scrolls of Wisdom in the bottom left corner of their inventory.

Strategy It is advised for players to keep a stack of Scrolls of Wisdom in their inventory in order to identify items or strongboxes without needing to return to their stash. Items Identified magic, rare, unique items sell for different currency items than their unidentified variants. Generally, these alternative currencies are rarer and more valuable than their counterparts. Unidentified rare items sell for Transmutation ShardTransmutation ShardStack Size: 20A stack of 20 shards becomes an Orb of Transmutation.s, while identified items can sell for Alteration ShardAlteration ShardStack Size: 20A stack of 20 shards becomes an Orb of Alteration.s and Alchemy ShardAlchemy ShardStack Size: 20A stack of 20 shards becomes an Orb of Alchemy.s. Thus, it is generally recommended to identify unidentified rare items before selling them to a vendor. This is because Orbs of AlterationOrb of AlterationStack Size: 20Reforges a magic item with new random modifiersRight click this item then left click a magic item to apply it. and Orbs of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. are generally more desirable than Orbs of TransmutationOrb of TransmutationStack Size: 40Upgrades a normal item to a magic itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it.. Strongboxes It may be desirable to identify Strongboxes for two reasons. Scouting out difficult modifiers. Some modifiers that can appear on Strongboxes may be especially deadly to certain characters. Examples include Frigid - Casts Ice Nova, Chest plays warning sound (Hidden) (Prefix) and Putrifying - Detonates nearby corpses, Chest plays warning sound (Hidden) (Prefix). This may be more relevant for Hardcore players. Rolling Strongboxes. When rarer, more rewarding strongboxes like Operative's Strongbox, Arcanist's Strongbox, and Cartographer's Strongbox are encountered, it may be more desirable to identify the strongbox and use currency like Orb of AlterationOrb of AlterationStack Size: 20Reforges a magic item with new random modifiersRight click this item then left click a magic item to apply it., Orb of ScouringOrb of ScouringStack Size: 30Removes all modifiers from an itemRight click this item then left click on a magic or rare item to apply it. and Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. to find more desirable modifiers.

This item cannot be used in areas that can become inaccessible like Alva's Temporal incursions or Jun's Syndicate Laboratory (Research) encounters. It also cannot be used in areas that are not considered acts, maps, or map-like areas (e.g. map fragment areas or Syndicate safehouses). It is also disabled in most endgame boss arenas, such as Elder Guardians, Conquerors, and Pinnacle Bosses. Shaper Guardians are considered regular map bosses and do not share this restriction. Using a Portal Scroll in the Eternal Labyrinth will create a one-way exit to town; it is not possible to re-enter the same labyrinth instance. Portal Scrolls can be used with a keybind, set in Options menu (default: no keybind set). Portal Scrolls are one of two guaranteed items from "Scribe's Rack" and "Packed Riches" chests. Portal Scrolls can also be purchased for 3 Scrolls of WisdomScroll of WisdomStack Size: 40Identifies an itemRight click this item then left click an unidentified item to apply it. from town NPCs such as Nessa in Act 1.

Players may also use Portal Scrolls to go in and out of town, to immediately refill flasks and heal to full while in the middle of combat. However, this strategy has limited value in a map since the number of portal trips is usually limited to six. Because Portal Scrolls are quite common, it is typical for players to use Portal Scrolls more slowly than the rate at which they drop.

Each scrap applied to an armour will increase its quality by up to 5% depending on its rarity. Mechanics Armourer's Scraps are most commonly used to increase the quality of armour equipment. As with other quality-increasing currency, consuming an Armourer's Scrap improves the quality of normal items by 5%, magic items by 2%, and rare and unique items by 1%. The defence values of the armour are improved by the percentage quality, additive with any local defense modifiers on the item. Quality on armours is also used to improve the chance of gaining sockets or links on an item using an Jeweller's OrbJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it.

The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more sockets. any item with 6 item sockets but not 6-linked Jeweller's Orbs can be found from slain enemies and Arcanist's Strongboxes. Spending Jeweller's Orbs are primarily used to randomly change the number of sockets an item, subject to the limitations enforced by the item's item level. If an item has some quality, each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. The sockets of an item reforged by a Jeweller's Orb also come with random links and colors. A Jeweller's orb will always roll a different number of sockets than the item had originally, but will not reroll an item with maximum sockets. In general the exact chances of obtaining a given number of sockets is unknown, but in the case of weapons the following is known: Number of Sockets Minimum Level Chance* 1 1 32.68% 2 1 29.41% 3 2 26.14% 4 25 9.80% 5 35 1.63% 6 50 0.33% *These chances are specifically for weapons. When going for 6 sockets on Body armour and Two-handed weapons, if one is risk-averse and wants to avoid bad luck, one can instead use the Crafting Bench recipe found in the Caldera tier 16 endgame Map.

Spending Chromatic Orbs are primarily used to change the colours of sockets on an item. Sockets are more likely to roll a colour corresponding to the attributes of the equipment being altered. The higher the attribute requirements, the more likely it is to roll the relevant colour: red sockets for Strength, green sockets for Dexterity, and blue sockets for Intelligence. It's only possible to get red, blue or green sockets using this orb; for white sockets it's necessary to use a Vaal OrbVaal OrbStack Size: 20Corrupts an item, modifying it unpredictablyRight click this item then left click an item to corrupt it. Corrupted items cannot be modified again.. If one either wants to avoid randomness, or wishes to obtain a specific colour combination that is unlikely on a certain item (e.g. getting all red sockets on an item requiring high intelligence), one can instead use the Crafting Bench recipe found in the Delve mine. When obtaining socket colours that an item is already biased towards (e.g. obtaining red sockets on a chest piece requiring high Strength), using Chromatic Orbs manually is less costly than using the Bench. On the other hand, for obtaining a socket colour that an item is biased against (e.g. obtaining green sockets on a chest piece requiring high Strength), using Chromatic Orbs manually is typically much more costly than using the Bench. Like most currency items, Chromatic Orbs can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes. One can also obtain Chromatic Orbs directly from vendors. The first town NPC who sell the orb is Yeena of Act 2. Chromatic Orbs can also be obtained by vendoring an item with one socket of each colour (red, green, blue) linked together. This is one of the most common ways to obtain Chromatic Orbs. In particular this means you can get some Chromatic Orbs cheaply (typically for about one Orb of TransmutationOrb of TransmutationStack Size: 40Upgrades a normal item to a magic itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. each, or less) by buying such linked items from the Vendors.

Version history Version Changes 3.5.0 Masters, including Zana, no longer have Reputation levels. Features such as crafting bench options are, as a result, no longer unlocked by grinding master missions, and are instead unlocked by encountering specific locations, situations or completing specific objectives. Crafting bench recipes that change the colour of the sockets are now located inside Delve mine. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.] 0.9.3 Added new currency item - Chromatic Orb: Rerolls the colours of sockets on an item.

External links Chromatic orb Calculators: Evil4Zerggin's Chromatic orb calculator Siveran's chromatic orb calculator	Adjust Sockets An Orb of Fusing is a currency item that can be used to re-roll the links between sockets on a weapon or piece of armour. The colour and number of sockets remain unchanged. Orbs of Fusing are uncommon currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes. Orbs of Fusing may be obtained from vendors. Yeena sells an Orb of Fusing in exchange for 4 Jeweller's OrbsJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it. The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more sockets.. Six-linked items can also be vendored for 20x Orbs of Fusing. It can also created by using beastcrafting recipe from Craicic Sand Spitter. Spending Orbs of Fusing are primarily used to modify the linked sockets on an item. If an item has some quality, each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. While the chance of obtaining three or four linked sockets is relatively high, the chance of obtaining five or six linked sockets is very low, and on average requires hundreds or even thousands of attempts. A test involving 100 000 Orbs of Fusing concluded that the chance for an Orb of Fusing to six-link a six-socketed, 20% quality item is approximately 0.1% (1 in 1000). (More precisely, there is a 95% chance that the average number of orbs needed to create a six-link is between 836 and 1244.) This translates into a ~77% chance to six-link within 1500 Orbs of Fusing, and a 5% chance that it will take more than 3000. This means it is statistically not worthwhile to use the Crafting Bench recipe on a 6-link instead of using Orb of Fusing manually, but it is still an option to consider for risk-averse players to avoid bad luck. As bad RNG can hamper your economy severely at the start of a new league. And the time/currency needed to beat the odds on a craft with such a low chance of success is staggering due to the sheer volume of Orb of Fusing needed. Note that nowadays, you can quality the item up to 30% to increase the odd to get a 6-link, but the argument on paying one off on Crafting Bench to average out "bad luck" still hold. Historically, lead developer Chris Wilson has stated that the odds for six linked sockets were very close to 1/1500. Note that this was prior to the item quality effect change from version 2.2.0 though, which means the consumed quality back then was able to improve these odds by "more than double". An Orb of Fusing will not reroll the links of a 6-socket & 6-linked item, nor will it reroll the links of a 6-linked item. These crafting options are available on the Crafting Bench: Effect Cost Two Linked Sockets 2 1x Orb of Fusing Three Linked Sockets 3 3x Orb of Fusing Four Linked Sockets 4 5x Orb of Fusing Five Linked Sockets 5 150x Orb of Fusing Six Linked Sockets 6 1500x Orb of Fusing The 6-link Crafting Bench recipe can be found in a T15 Map.

Achievements There is one achievement related to Orbs of Fusing: Name Description Well-Connected Create an item with six linked sockets using an Orb of Fusing. Version history Version Changes 3.19.0 Selling an item with 6 Linked Sockets to a vendor now yields 20 Orbs of Fusing, instead of a Divine Orb. 2.2.0 When you use an Orb of Fusing or a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. The way that quality affects the result has also been changed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the Fusing process 20% easier on 20% quality items, for example. 1.0.0b You can now use an Orb of Fusing on an item with four linked sockets again. The change made in 1.0.0 only prevents fusing items that have five or six sockets that are already entirely linked. 1.0.0 When using Orbs of Fusing, you're now 233% more likely to roll four linked sockets and 25% more likely to roll five linked sockets. 0.11.5 Jeweller's Orbs and Orbs of Fusing now describe that they consume quality when used. 0.11.0 The Orb of Fusing and Jeweller's OrbJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it.

Mechanics Orbs of Chance are primarily applied to specific item base types to obtain a corresponding unique item, a process referred to as chancing. However, the resulting item is more likely to become a magic or rare item. The process of using a Orb of ScouringOrb of ScouringStack Size: 30Removes all modifiers from an itemRight click this item then left click on a magic or rare item to apply it. to make a magic or rare item white again to repeat the process with the same base is referred to as "scour-chancing". The chance for an Orb of Chance to hit a unique item depends on its unique item tier; these odds get exponentially worse with higher tier items to the point where the time and cost investment and physical strain is not typically worth it over simply buying the unique item outright; however, there may be some scenarios where chancing is the only (or only feasible) way to obtain a special version of a unique item, such as a Shaper-influenced Call of the BrotherhoodCall of the Brotherhood Two-Stone RingRequires Level 20+(12-16)% to Cold and Lightning Resistances+(15-25) to Intelligence (15-25)% increased Lightning Damage (30-40)% increased Mana Regeneration Rate 40% of Lightning Damage Converted to Cold Damage Your spells have 100% chance to Shock against Frozen EnemiesForged by three brothers so that they may recognize each other across any distance of time or travel., or a Unique with a specifically-crafted Crucible passive tree. Rough odds to hit each tier of unique item are as follows: T5/T4: 1 in a few hundred T3: 1 in a few thousands T2: 1 in a couple tens of thousands T1: 1 in multiple tens of thousands T0: 1 in multiple hundreds of thousands The base item's item level does not limit the type of unique items that can be obtained. But in the past it did. Note that it is possible to modify sockets ignoring the item level using the crafting bench if the item is of a low item level. In races or at low levels, players may also find using Orbs of Chance instead of an Orb of TransmutationOrb of TransmutationStack Size: 40Upgrades a normal item to a magic itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. on normal items to randomly roll a magic or rare item, especially when lacking an Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it..

Regal Orbs can only be used on magic items. The adding an affix is useful for improving Maps or Strongboxes, where additional affixes can yield additional results. Converting a magic item to a rare is important for crafting in that a rare item has space for six affixes (three prefixes and three suffixes) while a magic item only has space for two affixes (one prefix and one suffix). In crafting, using a Regal Orb is a middle step when crafting a magic item with good affix(s) into a rare. If the affix added by the Regal Orb is desired, one can continue adding up to a total of six affixes through master crafting (using the Can have multiple crafted mods suffix) or the use of Exalted OrbsExalted OrbStack Size: 20Augments a rare item with a new random modifierRight click this item then left click a rare item to apply it.

Add Modifier Using an Exalted Orb on an item to add a modifier. In this example, a cold damage modifier was added. An Exalted Orb is a currency item that can be used to enhance a piece of rare equipment with a new random affix. Obtaining Exalted Orbs are rare currency items that can be acquired from slain monsters, chests, destructible containers, and strongboxes (notably from Arcanist Strongboxes). They can also be acquired from beastcrafting recipes, divination cards, vendor recipes, etc. In general, they are as rare as Divine OrbsDivine OrbStack Size: 20Randomises the values of the random modifiers on an itemRight click this item then left click a magic, rare or unique item to apply it..

However, note that the extra reward that a vendor gives for selling an item with this implicit is hidden before the trade is accepted. Usage Exalted Orbs add a random explicit modifier to a rare item. They do not affect any other modifiers. If a modifier is present on the rare item before usage, that modifier cannot be added by an Exalted Orb. Spending Exalted Orbs are primarily used to craft rare items, with two main uses. The first is through direct use of the orb, adding a random affix to a rare item that has at least one empty affix. If possible, it is usually best to craft an unwanted modifier from the crafting bench to stop it from rolling and increase the chances of adding a desirable mod. The other use is to add high-end affixes through the crafting bench by paying a fixed amount of Exalted Orbs. In some cases, Exalted Orbs can be used in conjunction with crafted modifiers to force particular modifiers on items. Some examples include adding +1 to Level of Socketed Gems to Bows after crafting Cannot roll Attack Modifiers, and adding +1 to All # Skill Gems on Amulets after crafting Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers, Cannot roll Attack Modifiers, and a final blocking mod depending on the specific gem level modifier. Before Version 3.19.0, Exalted Orbs were the "gold standard" currency for trading high-value items between players, and it was rare for players to use them to add mods to items. This was due to their relatively low supply, and high demand in the adding of powerful meta-crafting mods to items using the crafting bench. In patch 3.19.0, the crafting recipes were changed to require Divine Orbs instead, altering the demand of both Exalted and Divine Orbs and effectively switching their values. The relatively low cost of Exalted Orbs encourages players to use them for their regular purpose.

This makes for unpredictable results, so getting a specific modifier is not easy. Using multiple Chaos Orbs on a piece of equipment in the hopes of getting at least a few good modifiers is called 'Chaos spamming'. These orbs also play an important role in trading. They are the "silver standard" in the player-driven economy and are often used to buy low to mid tier items. (See Guide:Currency creation and trading.) Chaos Orbs are also spent on map device crafting options and rerolling Tier 17 maps.

Randomize Modifiers This page is about the currency item. For the passive skill, see Blessed. For another passive skill, see Blessed Rebirth. Blessed Orb is a currency item that can be used to re-roll values of the implicit modifiers on a piece of equipment. (This means the top values of an item above the line and not the bottom 6 values) This can only be used on an item that actually has implicit modifiers that can have a range of values. Mechanics A Blessed Orb re-rolls the implicit modifier of an item. It cannot be used on items without implicit modifiers or whose implicit modifiers do not have a range of values. They can be used on items with special implicits, such as synthesised items items with Eldritch implicit modifiers. They cannot be used to alter implicit modifiers on corrupted items, which prevents the user of Blessed Orbs on it. Because of their limited impact and somewhat uncommon rarity, Blessed Orbs are better used for items that already have desirable explicit modifiers and for meeting stat breakpoints like capped resistances and attribute requirements when needed. Blessed Orbs can not roll the same implicit value that the original item had. If the current implicit value is low, then on average you have better odds of rolling a high implicit value, and vice versa. Blessed Orbs can also be used to reroll the implicit values on Expedition Logbooks. Blessed Orbs are rare currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes. There are currently no known methods of obtaining Blessed Orbs from vendors.

Right click to remove from the Socket.. Most of the high-value trade deals are listed in terms of Divine Orbs rather than Chaos Orbs. Since the average player does not have the means to craft high-end items, the average player typically trades Divine Orbs for other valuable equipment instead of consuming them. For powerful or wealthy players looking to use Divine Orbs on powerful items, there are two primary methods to consume them. The first is through direct use of the orb, rerolling the values of an item's modifiers. This can be used to optimize the modifier values of a well-rolled rare item, potentially increasing its power and value. It can also be used on certain unique items where the modifier value is very important to the item, such as Mageblood'sMageblood Heavy BeltRequires Level 44+(25-35) to Strength+(30-50) to Dexterity +(15-25)% to Fire Resistance +(15-25)% to Cold Resistance Magic Utility Flasks cannot be Used Leftmost (2-4) Magic Utility Flasks constantly apply their Flask Effects to you Magic Utility Flask Effects cannot be removedRivers of power course through your veins. Leftmost (2-4) Magic Utility Flasks constantly apply their Flask Effects to you mod. However, using a Divine Orb on a unique item should be reserved for items that are very expensive to begin with. Any unique item worth less than several Divine Orbs can use the vendor recipe that trades three of the same unique item for the same unique with rerolled values instead. Their other purpose is to add meta-crafting mods through Crafting Bench by paying a fixed amount of Divine Orbs. This allows crafters to safely preserve targeted modifiers on items, or block certain mods from being rolled when they add or change affixes. It also can be used to allow an item to have multiple crafted mods, a safer way of creating a very powerful - albeit not top-tier - item if it already has a few powerful affixes. Divine Orbs re-roll the values of explicit values of modifiers. This can only be used on magic, rare, or unique items. Only the values of affixes that have a range of values will be randomized. A Divine Orb will not change the tier of the affix; it will only re-roll within its current tier. When a Divine Orb is used on a legacy variant of a unique item, affixes will re-roll to the new range of values. When using on a magic or rare item, the affix will re-roll assuming the new range of the same tier. If a new modifier was added to a unique item, the new modifier will not spawn by using a Divine Orb. There are some exceptions, such as WillowgiftWillowgift Jade AmuletRequires Level 52+(20-30) to Dexterity10% reduced Strength 15% increased Dexterity -(30-20)% to Fire Resistance +(30-40)% to Cold Resistance You do not inherently take less Damage for having Fortification +4% chance to Suppress Spell Damage per Fortification (15-25)% increased Attack and Cast Speed while at maximum FortificationThe storm cannot break that which bends. and The Coward's TrialThe Coward's Trial Cursed Crypt MapMap Level: 74 Map Tier: 7 Guild Character: ÅContains waves of Monsters Contains additional waves of Undead Monsters <0 to 7 random additional waves modifiers>For his sins he was hunted in his sleep, judgement wrought of twisted nightmare.

Maps can only be used once., where some existing mods became hybrid mods. In cases where a modifier was removed, the affix will become disabled with a hidden value of zero. This also means that magic or rare items will have a hidden mod that will prevent new mods from being crafted. A Divine Orb does not change a unique item's Style Variant (for example, Doryani's Invitation and Atziri's Splendour). Certain item ranges also may be undivinable, making them distinct variants. Usually, the divinable and undivinable mod values can be viewed by to turning on advanced modifier view (e.g. on PC, the default keybind is Alt).

Implicit modifiers, quality, sockets, and links are not removed, as well as affixes protected by meta-crafting mods. When an Orb of Scouring removes all but one modifier, the item will be downgraded to magic instead of normal. (With two modifiers, the item will remain rare.)

References	Remove Modifiers A Mirror of Kalandra (often simply referred to as a Mirror) is a basic currency item that can be used to create a mirrored duplicate of any piece of non-unique equipment, non-corrupted item that is not itself a duplicate. The duplicated item is identical to the original, except it cannot be modified with currency items in any way, save for the use of a Reflective Oil on amulets. It is labeled as a mirrored item and its image is reversed. Like regular items, there is no restriction on duplicates being dropped, traded, or sold to vendors. Mirrors are one of the rarest and most valuable items in Path of Exile, and attaining one either through a natural drop or through trading is considered a pinnacle achievement. This is partially signified through its use in the Path of Exile logo, which incorporates a mirror within its design. Spending Due to their extreme rarity, a Mirror of Kalandra is only used to duplicate the absolute best rare items available, as the mirror will be consumed on use. Players that own these top rare items will provide "Mirror service" to players looking to use their Mirrors. Usually, the Mirror is given to the Mirror service provider, the item is duplicated, and then the duplicate item is then traded back. This process typically includes a "Mirror fee", to be paid to the Mirror service provider, as well as some exchange of collateral, so that the original Mirror owner is insured against having their Mirror stolen. Typically, players that find Mirrors will be unable to use them properly, both because they cannot afford mirror fees to duplicate top items, and also because they have little use for having a single item that is the absolute best of its kind. It is often more economical to trade away a Mirror of Kalandra in order to eventually obtain many very good items, rather than using it to obtain a single item that may only be marginally better. Mirrors of Kalandra can also be used to purchase unique fishing rods from vendors. This is not recommended, as these can usually be purchased from other players for much lower prices. They can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible loot containers (including Arcanist's Strongboxes).

These can drop from Harbingers or from the Immortal Syndicate Fortification safehouse with Janus Perandus stationed there, albeit very rarely.

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.

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.

Currency Calculator (poecalc.com)

Tool for converting between different types of currency. Default rates are rough estimations but can be set manually.

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 Orb of Fusing into 8 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 alts.

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