Path of Exile 2's bustling trade chat frequently features high demand for White Stellar Amulets, often fetching 10 to 15 
Exalted Orbs. The reason behind this significant value often eludes players. The answer lies in their potential and the desires of both buyers and sellers.
Why are White Stellar Amulets So Valuable in Path of Exile 2?
Unmodified White (Normal) Stellar Amulets, possessing only the inherent "+# to All Attributes," are key ingredients in crafting the highly sought-after 
Astramentis Stellar Amulet. This transformation is achieved using an 
Orb of Chance.
Astramentis' exceptional power stems from its massive attribute boost (+80-120 to All Attributes). This synergizes perfectly with the 
Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, another top-tier Unique item, enhancing attack speed and lightning damage based on Intelligence and Dexterity.
Crucially, only White Stellar Amulets can yield Astramentis. Blue (Magic) or Yellow (Rare) amulets are unsuitable. This scarcity explains their superior value compared to higher-rarity counterparts.
Sell or Gamble? The White Stellar Amulet Dilemma
The odds of successfully obtaining Astramentis with an Orb of Chance are exceptionally low. Even using numerous amulets (e.g., 100) doesn't guarantee success. While luck plays a role, the chances are slim.
The decision to sell or gamble rests solely with the player. Selling a White Stellar Amulet typically yields 10-30 Exalted Orbs, depending on market conditions. Alternatively, you can risk it all for the potential reward of Astramentis – a high-risk, high-reward proposition.
