Here's a comprehensive guide to the currency and trading system in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2):
Currency in Path of Exile 2
Types of Currency:
•Orbs: These are the primary currency items in PoE 2, used for crafting, trading, and modifying gear. Examples include:
•Chaos Orb: Re-rolls random modifiers on rare equipment.
•Exalted Orb: Adds new random modifiers to rare items.
•Regal Orb: Upgrades magic items to rare.
•Divine Orb: Re-rolls the values of all explicit modifiers on an item.
•Mirror of Kalandra: Creates a mirrored duplicate of non-unique equipment (very rare).
•Gold: A new, untradeable currency in PoE 2, used for NPC interactions, listing items in the Currency Exchange, and other in-game transactions but not for player-to-player trading.
•Other Currencies: Includes essences, fragments, scrolls, and more specialized items like Hinekora’s Lock or Gemcutter’s Prism, each with specific uses in crafting or trading.
How to Get Currency:
•Monster Drops: Basic currencies drop from any monster.
•Area Farming: Certain areas or bosses have higher drop rates for specific currencies.
•Vendor Recipes: Selling specific item combinations to vendors can yield currency.
•Quests and Events: Some currency can be obtained as rewards from quests or special events.
Trading in Path of Exile 2
In-Game Trading:
•Direct Trade: Approach another player in a safe area, right-click their character, select "Trade," and exchange items directly.
•Currency Exchange: An asynchronous system where players list currencies for exchange. You pay a small amount of Gold to list items, and transactions can occur even when you're offline.
•Official Trade Website:
•PoE 2 Trade Site: Allows listing and searching for items. You can filter by item type, stats, etc. To trade:
•Search for items or bulk exchanges you want.
•Use the "Direct Whisper" feature to contact the seller.
•Coordinate in-game to complete the trade.
•Premium Stash Tabs: Required to list items for sale on the trade site. These can be purchased with real money from the in-game store.
Tips for Trading:
•Pricing: Check current market rates on the trade site or forums. Prices can fluctuate based on demand and new content.
•Trading Etiquette: Be polite, clear in your communications, and always double-check items before accepting a trade to avoid scams or misunderstandings.
•Bulk Trades: For faster trading of stackable items, use the "Bulk Item Exchange" option on the trade site.
•Negotiations: Prices can sometimes be negotiated, especially for unique or high-demand items.
Trading Economy:
•Player-Driven: The economy in PoE 2 is entirely player-driven, meaning item values are determined by supply and demand.
•Crafting vs. Trading: Decide whether to craft or trade for items based on your current currency and the market value of items you need or have.
Special Considerations:
•Crossplay Trading: Trading works across platforms thanks to crossplay, but ensure you're in the same league.
•Solo Self-Found (SSF): Players in SSF mode cannot trade with others, emphasizing self-sufficiency.
