PoE2 Currency Guide: Chaos to Mirror
The #1 question on /r/PathOfExile2 every league: "How do I make currency?" Here's the complete hierarchy.
Currency Tier List
| Currency | Use | Value (Chaos equivalent) |
|---|---|---|
| Chaos Orb | Basic trading, map rolling | 1c |
| Divine Orb | Primary trade currency | ~220c |
| Exalted Orb | Crafting meta-mods | ~15c |
| Mirror of Kalandra | Duplicate perfect items | ~900 Divine |
Hideout Trading Setup
- Download Awakened PoE Trade (overlay tool for price checking)
- Set up a premium stash tab set to "Public" with individual pricing
- Price items at 80% of market rate for fast sales, 110% if you're patient
- Always use exact price, never "negotiable" — it attracts lowballers
Atlas Strategy for Max Profit
- Block all league mechanics except the 3 you're specced into (more spawns of chosen mechanics)
- Run maps in batches of 20 (same layout) to build muscle memory and reduce downtime
- Use Scarabs (Rune, Expedition, Essence) to juice your chosen mechanics
- Sell everything in bulk via TFT Discord or PoE trade site — bulk pricing commands a 20-50% premium
