Market Observations & Trends

Divine Orb Surge:

The Divine Orb has skyrocketed by 131% this week, and is now worth 259 to 1 Exalted Orb, compared to 112.25 last week. This dramatic increase indicates a surge in demand, likely fuelled by players looking to craft top-of-the-range equipment. The high value suggests a market where Divine Orbs are seen as crucial to obtaining the best equipment, possibly in anticipation of new content or challenges in Path of Exile 2.

Stability in common crafting materials:

The Orb of Alchemy has risen slightly to 0.73 for 1 Exalted Orb, up from 0.31 last week, an increase of 135%, but still reflecting a relatively stable market for common crafting materials. Meanwhile, the Orb of Augmentation remains extremely low at 0.011 to 1 Exalted Orb, up only slightly from 0.004, an increase of 175%, but still showing stability due to its common drop rates from monsters.

The slight decline of the Chaos Orb:

The Chaos Orb has seen a slight decline, now outnumbering the Exalted Orb 2 to 1, down from 2.16 last week, a drop of 7.4%. This trend may indicate market saturation or a shift towards more powerful crafting options such as Divine Orbs. The drop, although small, suggests a reevaluation of Chaos Orbs in crafting strategies due to the emergence of alternatives.

Community Insights

The double-edged sword of Divine Orbs:

The community has mixed feelings about the rising value of Divine Orbs. While it's beneficial for sellers, buyers are struggling to afford them for high-level crafting. There's a sense that the market may be overheating, with some community members predicting a potential correction if the supply dynamics change or new crafting methods are introduced.

Perception of low-value currencies:

Currencies such as the Scroll of Wisdom (0.0067 to 1 Exalted Orb) and Armourer's Scrap (0.03 to 1 Exalted Orb) are seen more as tools for bulk trading or quick currency conversion than as high-value trading assets. Their low exchange rates reflect their abundant supply, but also their importance in day-to-day play, ensuring a steady demand.

Trader's Advice

Invest in Divine Orbs: With their increasing value, Divine Orbs are a lucrative investment for those with the means. Keep an eye on market trends, as the high value may not be sustainable in the long term.Diversify your portfolio: With the slight dip in the value of the Chaos Orb, consider diversifying into other stable options such as the Orb of Alchemy or the Vaal Orb, which have shown stability or slight increases in value, providing a balanced trading strategy.Trade in bulk: For low-value items such as wisdom scrolls or armour scraps, trading in bulk is the way to go. Their individual value may be low, but in large quantities they can be quite profitable.Monitor community trends: Participate in community discussions to gauge market sentiment, which can often foreshadow shifts, especially around new game updates or league announcements.Be careful with high-risk items: The Mirror of Kalandra, at its current rate of 663 to 1 Divine Orb, remains a high-risk investment due to its rarity. Only get involved if you're prepared for the speculation involved.
