Usage

Spending

Orbs of Alteration are popular with all players from begining to end in PoE. At the early leveling stage, they can be used to swiftly craft decent magic equipment before more powerful rare equipment is available. At higher levels, they are often used to change the affixes of a magic map to ones that are more desirable, such as more Magic Monsters. When crafting high-end rare equipment, many Orbs of Alteration are typically spent on an item in order to roll two desired affixes before a Regal Orb is applied to continue the crafting process.

Vendor recipes and purchases

Orbs of Alteration ia an high turnover currency to purchase kinds of items from vendors, such as maps, skill gems, and magic or rare equipment. One can use one Orb of Alteration to buy 4 Scrolls of Wisdom from any vendor. A Jeweller's Orb can be buyed from in Act 2 and onwards in exchange for 2 Orbs of Alteration.

Orbs of Alteration are also used in a few vendor recipes.

Crafting benches

Orbs of Alteration are available for a mass of Crafting Bench recipes.

PS. High usage rate. What we recommend is to reserve Orb of Alteration and not to sell it.
