Currency is a vital part of Path of Exile. There are various types of currency items including orbs, sextants, spheres and scrolls. They are functional items that serve specific purposes.

Chaos Orbs are the "gold standard" of the player-driven economy. They are used to reroll all modifiers on a rare item and buy low-to-mid tier equipment.

Orbs of Alteration

Orbs of Alteration are the second most common currency item in Path of Exile. They are used to reroll the random affixes of a magic or rare item, providing a new set of possible modifiers. They are used extensively throughout the early and mid-game to craft decent magic gear before more powerful rare equipment becomes available.

Alternatively, they can be applied to Flasks and Jewels to improve their mods or conditions. This is a very useful method for acquiring utility abilities like Life Recovery or Resistances, especially when the item you need has a low number of charges.

Orbs of Chance can also be used to turn a normal item into higher rarities, including Magic, Rare (yellow), and, rarely, Unique (brown). This is an extremely expensive option for obtaining a specific unique, and is typically reserved for high-level players who have many spare Orbs of Alteration. It is possible to get these through vendor recipes, but they are also a common drop from monsters.

Orbs of Corruptions

A rare drop from killing monsters or from a chest in the Lava Lake (in parallel worlds only). When used on an item it has a chance to corrupt one of its implicit modifiers. These can range from damage to a variety of other effects like armor, skill points or evasion.

Using a tainted fusing orb on a 5 link item will either upgrade it to a 6 link or brick it. This can be useful for some builds, such as spell totem builds that use a lot of damage.

These can also be used on maps to improve their quality, allowing for more and better loot. They are often traded for Chaos Orbs on MMOGAH, a secure marketplace where players can trade items and currency with each other. There are dozens of sellers competing for your business, so you can be sure to find the best prices and quick delivery. You can even Buy poe currency items from the highest tiers on MMOGAH!

Divine Orbs

Divine Orbs are one of the rarest and most valuable currency items in Path of Exile, offering players the ability to re-roll the values of specific equipment modifiers. This allows them to overcome suboptimal rolls on their current gear and achieve a more optimal set of stats, giving them a competitive edge in challenging encounters and endgame content.

Obtaining these orbs requires engaging in high-level content and exploring various maps, though their low drop chance makes them difficult to come by. Farming Jun’s Recipes and completing maps with high-level item quantity and rarity modifiers can increase your chances of obtaining them.

Alternatively, players can also obtain them by trading with other players. This involves manipulating the in-game trade system and understanding market trends to create profitable deals. In addition, they can be used to craft a wide range of items with their corresponding affixes through the Crafting Bench, although this method requires more advanced knowledge of crafting mechanics and the in-game economy.

Eternal Orbs

Eternal Orbs create an imprint of an item that can be used later to revert it to its original state. They are incredibly rare and expensive, but are one of the most useful currencies in the game for players who wish to reroll high-value items. They are commonly used in combination with Regal Orbs or Exalted Orbs when crafting high-value items.

These orbs are primarily used to upgrade magic items and Maps, although they can also be acquired through other means, such as from slain monsters or destructible containers. They can be purchased from vendors for a small fraction of their true value, which is determined by the amount of Exalted Orbs or Regal Orbs required to upgrade them.

Currently the price of a single Eternal Orb is around 2 Exalted orbs in Standard league. However, their real-world value can be much higher. This is because of the many third-party resellers who sell Eternal Orbs for profit.
