Time: 2025-04-17 by mmojugg Game: Path of Exile 2 Guide Tags: PoE2 Market Report
Welcome, Exiles! This is the first Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) Essence Report for the Dawn of the Hunt League, dated April 17, 2025, marking the 13th day since the league's launch. Essences in PoE2 are powerful crafting materials used to guarantee specific modifiers on gear, making them highly sought after for build optimization. This season introduces four new essences—Essence of Hysteria, Essence of Delirium, Essence of Horror, and Essence of Insanity—adding new crafting possibilities. Since this is the first essence report of the season, we'll compare with last season's data from December 17, 2024 (Standard League), captured just before the economic collapse triggered by patch 0.1.0e on December 19. Let's explore the essence market!
Note: All data is sourced from the official PoE2 trade market. New essences introduced this season (Hysteria, Delirium, Horror, Insanity) have no last season data and are excluded from comparisons where applicable. Last season's prices are presented directly in Exalted Orbs (Ex) where available, with conversions avoided for consistency.

PoE2 Essence Market Observations & Trends
New Essences: High Demand for Delirium and Insanity
The four new essences introduced this season—Essence of Hysteria, Essence of Delirium, Essence of Horror, and Essence of Insanity—show significant value. Essence of Delirium leads at 195 Ex, highlighting its rarity and likely powerful modifiers for endgame crafting. Essence of Insanity follows at 106 Ex, also commanding a premium due to strong player interest. Essence of Horror (25 Ex) and Essence of Hysteria (20 Ex) are more affordable but still pricey, suggesting they offer valuable crafting options for specific builds.
Greater Essences: Mixed Trends Compared to Last Season
Compared to last season's data on December 17, 2024, this season's Greater Essence prices show varied shifts:
Greater Essence of Battle: Surged from 3 Ex last season to 14.5 Ex this season, a nearly 5-fold increase, likely due to high demand for battle-related modifiers in the current meta.
Greater Essence of Ruin and Greater Essence of Electricity: Rose from 12 Ex to 18 Ex and 8 Ex to 17 Ex, respectively, reflecting their growing utility in endgame crafting.
Greater Essence of Torment and Greater Essence of Haste: Dropped significantly compared to last season, from 27 Ex to 12.5 Ex and 28 Ex to 14 Ex, respectively, possibly due to reduced demand or increased supply.
Greater Essence of the Body and Greater Essence of the Mind: Both fell from 3 Ex last season to 1.00 Ex and 1.25 Ex this season, indicating lower priority for these modifiers in the current meta.
Standard Essences: Generally Cheaper This Season
Compared to last season's equivalent date (December 17, 2024), this season's standard Essence prices are notably lower for most items, making them more accessible:
Essence of Torment: Dropped sharply from 1.00 Ex last season to 0.20 Ex this season, a 5-fold decrease, suggesting reduced demand or higher availability.
Essence of Flames, Ice, Electricity, Battle, and Sorcery: All saw significant declines compared to last season (e.g., Essence of Flames from 0.33 Ex to 0.08 Ex, Essence of Electricity from 0.50 Ex to 0.17 Ex), making them more affordable for early-game crafting.
Essence of Haste: Slightly increased from 1 Ex last season to 1.33 Ex this season, showing steady demand for speed-related modifiers.
Essence of the Infinite: Rose from 0.01 Ex last season to 0.09 Ex this season, indicating a small uptick in interest.
Last Season's Context: Pre-Collapse Dynamics
Last season's data from December 17, 2024, before the 0.1.0e patch collapse, shows a more uniform essence market with standard essences priced mostly between 0.14 Ex and 1 Ex, and Greater Essences reaching up to 28 Ex. Compared to last season, this season's essence market exhibits a wider price range, with new essences commanding high premiums and standard essences becoming more affordable. This shift reflects GGG's economic adjustments, meta changes, and supply dynamics in the Dawn of the Hunt League.
Looking Ahead
As the Dawn of the Hunt League progresses, essence prices will likely fluctuate based on crafting trends and meta builds. New essences like Essence of Delirium and Essence of Insanity may remain expensive due to their rarity and power, while Greater Essences like Battle and Ruin could see further increases if demand persists. Standard Essences, now more affordable compared to last season, may become go-to options for early-game players. The broader price diversity this season suggests a dynamic and evolving economy.
