The Currency Exchange feature in Path of Exile 2 is a vital tool for players, enabling the conversion of lower-tier Currencies into higher-tier ones, which can be used for trading with other players or as crafting materials. However, navigating the ever-fluctuating Currency Exchange rates can be challenging. These rates change dynamically based on in-game market conditions, making it essential to check them directly within the game to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
To access the Currency Exchange, you'll need to speak with the gambling vendor available in any Act once you've reached Cruel Difficulty. Upon accessing the Currency Exchange menu, you'll notice two boxes designated for Currencies.
Begin by clicking the left box and selecting the Currency you're interested in acquiring—or the one you wish to exchange your existing Currencies for. For instance, if you're looking to see the current price of a Divine Orb, simply click the left item tab and choose Divine Orb from the list.
Next, click on the right item tab in the Currency Exchange menu to view a list of your available Currencies, which spans across your Inventory and Stashes. To find out how many Exalted Orbs you need to acquire a Divine Orb, select Exalted Orb from your list of available Currencies.
The conversion ratio for your chosen Currencies will be displayed between the two item selection boxes. For example, to obtain a Divine Orb using Exalted Orbs, you'll need to pay the amount of Exalted Orbs shown on the right-hand side of the ratio.
This process works in reverse as well. If you possess a Divine Orb and aim to convert it into Exalted Orbs, simply select Exalted Orb from the "Want" list, and choose your Divine Orb from the "Have" list.
Keep in mind that the Currency Exchange rates in Path of Exile 2 are constantly updating, which means the conversion rate between Currencies can shift dramatically from one hour to the next. It's wise to check these rates regularly during your gameplay to seize the best opportunities for trading or crafting.
Not all Currency combinations will be available for exchange. If a particular combination, such as Divine Orb for Scrolls of Wisdom, isn't valid, the ratio won't appear, and the exchange cannot be made.
