POE2 Orb of Alchemy Price

Orb of Alchemy is a crafting currency in Path of Exile 2 used to raise an item's rarity, turning a lower-rarity base into a more powerful one in a single click. Upgrade currencies are the backbone of fast, cheap early crafting.

In Path of Exile 2, Orb of Alchemy upgrades a Normal or Magic item to a Rare item with 4 random modifiers. You right-click it and left-click a normal or magic item to apply it.

The trade-off for speed is randomness: the modifiers you gain are not chosen, so outcomes vary. It is most efficient on plentiful, cheap bases where you can repeat the process until you hit something useful.
