Path of Exile Currency Guide
Many new players don't understand what to do with certain PoE currency items, like Divine Orbs. Although unlikely, low-level players may acquire these orbs by looting and "upgrading" unworthy gear to their inventory.
Thank goodness there are services to assist players in bypassing this tedious grinding, leaving more time for developing an ideal league starter build. Here is an introduction to some of the key path of exile currency conversion.
Orbs
Orbs are an integral component of Path of Exile's intricate economy, serving as the cornerstone for gear customization and progression. From Regal Orbs that transform common items into rare and valuable equipment to Exalted Orbs with exceptional modifiers that boost rarity further - orbs provide players with plenty of ways to customize their gear according to their desired build and playstyle.
The Orb of Alteration offers an innovative means of gear enhancement by enabling players to re-roll random properties on equipment items. This provides for more targeted item improvement by offering specific modifiers that fit with players' playstyle and combat capabilities; however, its results depend on chance and probability - creating uncertainty when seeking to maximize value of gear purchases.
Scrolls
path of exile currency consists of scrolls and orbs that improve or augment items, including Chaos Orbs that add random affixes, Orbs of Transmutation that upgrade single items to different rarities, Portal Scrolls that create portal skill gems for characters, as well as catalysts that enhance amulet, belt or ring qualities.
These items can be obtained through monster drops, chests, town vendors and recipe systems. Basic currencies are more readily found while more valuable ones require greater effort and investment to locate. One such valuable item is the Divine Orb, which rerolls explicit modifier values on gear; this allows players to take full advantage of rare items in endgame builds. Another rare item is Cartographer's Sextant which allows players to map all of Wraeclast.
Scroll of Wisdom
Path of Exile stands out from its peers by featuring an unconventional currency system, offering more ways for equipment modification. Players can obtain items and orbs through various sources - looting destructible containers and monsters, purchasing from vendors or exchanging for other items at vendors.
One of the key currencies in the game is a scroll of wisdom, which allows players to identify an object. This can be especially helpful during early acts when most items don't warrant identification.
Scrolls of Wisdom can be obtained by exchanging a Portal Scroll with the vendor (1 scroll yields 1 portal), killing monsters or bosses, or finding them randomly dropped in combat. They are especially sought-after among players running magic find builds which require many rare items for identification; as an alternative option they may purchase them on third-party websites like MMOGAH which saves both time and effort from grinding, giving more time and energy to crafting optimal builds.
Portal Scroll
A portal scroll is a consumable item which instantly creates a portal between any act's town and another one, giving access to it instantly. Players may only use this item multiple times before it runs out; alternatively they may acquire and place into an item socket a Portal gem (skill) for similar functionality.
Portal scrolls can be obtained as drops from monsters or vendors. They are in great demand because they can help identify magical, rare and unique items which cannot be identified with an Identify scroll alone - making them especially helpful for people playing "magic find" builds.
Portal scrolls can be stored in one's inventory and exchanged for Scrolls of Wisdom from vendors; they also often have a lower ratio between Chaos Orbs and Portal gems than other Poe Currency. While useful early in a game's progression, most players eventually accumulate enough surplus Portal scrolls that they begin exchanging them for gems instead.
