It's another wild day in Wraeclast's economy, and the battle between Exalted Orbs and Divine Orbs for supremacy rages on. The market continues its transition, and the big question remains: Are Divine Orbs the new king of trading? Let's dive into today's analysis to figure it all out.
1. Mirror of Kalandra = 200 Divine Orbs?
The highlight of today's market is the
Mirror of Kalandra, which has surged from 190 Divine Orbs to 200 Divine Orbs (+5.3%). The market is still adjusting the mirror's price.
If you're holding onto Mirrors, this might be the time to sell! However, traders expecting higher gains might want to wait—it's possible that prices could climb further as supply dwindles.
2. Exalted Orbs vs. Divine Orbs: Who's Winning?
Exalted Orbs remain at a 1:1 ratio, but
Divine Orbs continue to be the go-to trading currency. The market reflects a clear standardization around Divine Orbs, as more high-value items are priced in Divines instead of Exalts.
The shift towards Divine Orbs is largely due to patch changes that increased Exalted Orb drops. Meanwhile, Divine Orbs remain rare, driving their demand higher. Exiles should start converting wealth into Divine Orbs where possible to align with the market trend.

Artificer's Orb saw a significant rise, climbing from 0.213 to 0.250 Exalted Orbs (+17.4%), indicating increased crafting demand.
Vaal Orb also surged, moving up to 0.3 Exalted Orbs (+50%). This signals higher usage in endgame crafting and corruption mechanics.
Crafting-focused players should stockpile these currencies now, as prices could continue to rise with ongoing market demand.
4. Orb of Chance
Orb of Chance are likely change the central equivalent, today's fair price should be around 0.24 Div; consider the price rise of divine Orb, the trend may go down, eventually, people may not love for a unique item chance.
