POE 2 - Currency Exchange Explained

In Path of Exile 2, players can use the Currency Exchange to trade currencies with other players. Check out our guide to learn more about the Currency Exchange including how to check the currency exchange rate, the Market Ratio, how to use the currency exchange and how to unlock it in the game.

How to Check Currency Exchange Rate

Hover the Cursor Over Market Ratio

Players can check the exchange rate of a currency by adding items to the "I Want" and "I Have" slots then hovering over the Market Ratio. This allows you to see what other players price an item at.

Market Ratio Explained

Available Trades Show Listed Offers From Players

Available Trades refer to the current listed orders from other players at any given time. The Ratio is basically the going rate of an item and the Stock indicates how many trades of this item are available at this rate.

Competing Trades Indicate Value of Your Item

Competing Trades indicate the inverse rate of the current trade which essentially lets you see how much the item you're trading is worth.

How to Use the Currency Exchange

  1. Talk to Finn in Clearfell in Cruel Difficulty
  2. Choose Which Items to Trade
  3. Place Your Order

Talk to Finn in Clearfell in Cruel Difficulty
