Path of Exile 2 Currency Prices - Runes of Aldur League
This page tracks the current exchange value of every tradeable currency in Path of Exile 2 for the Runes of Aldur challenge league. Data is sourced from the in game Currency Exchange system, where players post buy and sell orders that are matched automatically without both parties needing to be online simultaneously. Grinding Gear Games aggregates this order data and releases it in hourly batches through an official endpoint, which Poe Ninja processes and publishes here.
The Path of Exile 2 currency system differs meaningfully from Path of Exile 1. Where POE1 relies on stash tab scanning to determine prices, POE2 uses a structured order book that creates more transparent price discovery for mainstream currencies. All values shown are expressed in chaos orb equivalent under the adaptive display mode, which switches to divine orb denomination for higher value items automatically.
About the Runes of Aldur league economy
Runes of Aldur is the current Path of Exile 2 challenge league. Every challenge league begins with a completely fresh economy where no wealth carries over from previous seasons or from Standard. This creates an intensely active trading environment in the opening days of the league as players rush to establish their characters and supply of key currencies is still scarce relative to demand.
The Mirror of Kalandra sits at the very top of the Runes of Aldur economy as always, representing the maximum practical price ceiling achievable in the league. Hinekora's Lock holds the second position by value, followed by high value crafting currencies like the Fracturing Orb and Perfect Chaos Orb. The Divine Orb functions as the primary reference point for mid to high tier trading at around 8.8 Chaos Orbs, making it the de facto standard for any item too valuable to sensibly price in chaos.
How the Currency Exchange sets prices in POE2
The Currency Exchange in Path of Exile 2 works as a structured marketplace where players submit limit orders at the rate they are willing to accept, and the system automatically matches compatible buy and sell orders. This is fundamentally different from Path of Exile 1, where prices are set by individual sellers who list items in their stash tabs and buyers have to message them directly.
Because the Currency Exchange is an order book, price discovery converges toward genuine market rates faster than in a stash tab economy. Sellers cannot simply leave a price fixed listing sitting indefinitely without being outcompeted by orders at better rates. The result is that the prices shown on this page tend to reflect real trading activity more accurately than equivalent stash tab data, particularly for currencies that see heavy trading volume.
Understanding the Runes of Aldur currency tiers
Currency in Path of Exile 2 Runes of Aldur falls into roughly four tiers by value. The top tier consists of the Mirror of Kalandra and Hinekora's Lock, which trade in the thousands to tens of thousands of divine orbs and function more as collectible benchmarks than everyday trading tools. The high tier includes currencies like Fracturing Orb, Perfect Chaos Orb and Vaal Cultivation Orb, trading in the range of four to seven divine orbs and commonly appearing in transactions for top end items.
The mid tier covers currencies like Divine Orb, Orb of Extraction, Orb of Annulment and Greater Chaos Orb, which anchor the everyday high value economy and serve as the reference point for most notable gear trades. Below that sits the common currency tier covering items like Perfect Jeweller's Orb, Perfect Regal Orb and Arcanist's Etcher, trading at or near one chaos orb and functioning as the workhorse currencies for routine crafting and trading.
New currencies in Path of Exile 2 Runes of Aldur
Path of Exile 2 introduced several currency types that do not exist in Path of Exile 1. Perfect quality variants of classic orbs such as Perfect Chaos Orb, Perfect Exalted Orb and Perfect Jeweller's Orb function similarly to their standard counterparts but with additional or enhanced effects. Vaal infuser currencies including Vaal Cultivation Orb, Vaal Catalysing Infuser, Vaal Armourer's Infuser and Vaal Blacksmith's Infuser draw on the Vaal crafting system unique to Path of Exile 2.
Greater tier orbs such as Greater Chaos Orb, Greater Exalted Orb, Greater Regal Orb and Greater Jeweller's Orb represent enhanced versions of existing currency with stronger effects and correspondingly higher values. The Core Destabiliser and Crystallised Corruption serve specific high end crafting functions that allow players to target powerful item modifiers not achievable through standard crafting methods.
Using currency price data for trading in Runes of Aldur
Cross referencing the rates shown here against your own in game Currency Exchange orders gives an accurate benchmark for pricing competitively. Because the Currency Exchange automatically matches orders, setting your rate too far above the current market means your order sits unfilled while other sellers capture trades ahead of you. Conversely, setting a buy order too low means it also goes unmatched as sellers find better offers elsewhere.
The seven day trend column shows how each currency's value has moved over the past week. Currencies showing strong positive trends are generally gaining value due to increased demand, a drop in supply or a discovered synergy with a popular build or crafting method. Currencies showing negative trends are typically losing value as more supply enters the league economy and scarcity decreases. Using this trend data alongside current values helps identify whether a currency is near its peak or still appreciating.
Volume per hour gives an indication of how actively a currency is being traded. High volume currencies like Divine Orb and Chaos Orb are extremely liquid, meaning orders are filled quickly and the displayed price closely matches what you can actually achieve in a trade. Low volume currencies may have wider spreads between buy and sell orders, so treat their displayed values with more caution and check the most popular exchange column for a better picture of realistic achievable rates.
Why do Path of Exile 2 currency prices update more slowly than POE1
Path of Exile 2 economy data is sourced from the in game Currency Exchange rather than a live stash tab stream. Grinding Gear Games compiles and releases this data in hourly batches through an official API, which means there is an inherent delay of up to one hour between a real trade happening and that rate appearing on this page. This is different from POE1 where stash tab changes are available as a continuous feed.
What is the Mirror of Kalandra worth in Runes of Aldur
The Mirror of Kalandra is the most valuable currency in Path of Exile 2 Runes of Aldur, trading at approximately 6,000 Divine Orbs at the time this data was captured. As with all currency values, this figure changes throughout the league and should be checked against the current table above for an up to date figure.
How does the adaptive value display work
Adaptive display automatically selects the most practical denomination for each currency based on its value. Items worth a fraction of a Chaos Orb are shown as a ratio showing how many you need to equal one Chaos Orb. Items worth several Chaos Orbs are shown in Chaos. Items worth multiple Divine Orbs are shown in Divine. This mirrors how players actually think about and discuss prices in game.
Does the Runes of Aldur economy reset when the league ends
Yes. When the Runes of Aldur league concludes, all characters and items migrate to the Standard or Hardcore permanent leagues, and a new challenge league begins with a fresh economy from zero. The historical data for Runes of Aldur will remain accessible on this site after the league ends as an archive for research and reference.
What is the difference between Greater and Perfect versions of currency
Greater currency orbs such as Greater Chaos Orb and Greater Exalted Orb provide enhanced versions of the base crafting function, with stronger effects or additional outcomes. Perfect quality orbs represent the maximum possible quality enhancement for that crafting step. Both types tend to trade at a premium above their standard counterparts, with the premium reflecting how difficult each variant is to obtain relative to its base version.
