Greetings, Exiles! This week, we've observed a fascinating stabilization in the Path of Exile 2 market, particularly with essences, which serve as crucial crafting materials. Here's a detailed look into the current market dynamics, community insights, and trading recommendations.
Weekly market observations & trends
Stable essence market:
The essence market remains unchanged this week, with most essences holding steady at 1 Exalted Orb or 1 Divine Orb, except for Essence of Electricity at 0.85 Exalted Orb, Essence of the Infinite at 0.9 Exalted Orb, and Greater Essence of Haste at 2.5 Divine Orbs, reflecting a steady demand for crafting materials.
Community Insights
Steady investment interest:
Players continue to see Essences as a stable investment, particularly the Greater Essences, with Greater Essence of Haste standing out at 2.5 Divine Orbs, suggesting its unique utility in high-end crafting.
Speculation about utility shifts:
There is ongoing discussion in the community about potential future updates that could alter the demand for certain essences, especially those with unique modifiers such as Electricity and Infinite, which are currently slightly below parity.
Recommendations for traders
Focus on the Greater Essence of Haste:
With its high value at 2.5 Divine Orbs, Greater Essence of Haste is a prime target for investment, as it may see further demand as speed-based builds become more prevalent.
Diversify across essences:
Given the overall stability, maintaining a balanced portfolio of both regular and Greater Essences can help protect against sudden shifts in market dynamics due to patch changes.
Monitor patch notes:
