Exalted Orb Prices in PoE 2: Why They Spiked 40% This Week

Exalted Orbs in Path of Exile 2 have surged roughly 40% against Chaos Orbs in the past seven days. This post breaks down the catalyst, who it affects, and where prices are likely to go next.
The Trigger: Citadel Boss Loot Changes
The 0.2.1 balance patch quietly doubled the rare item yield from Citadel pinnacle bosses. Players farming endgame content are generating far more high-iLevel rares worth Exalt-crafting, spiking demand for the orb itself while supply stayed flat.
Who Gets Hurt
New characters and league starters who hadn't stocked Exalts are paying a premium. If you're trying to craft your first endgame weapon this week, budget 40% more than last week's guides suggest.
Where Prices Are Headed
Based on past PoE 1 precedents, price spikes from loot-table changes tend to correct within 1–2 weeks as the market adjusts and players rotate to new farming targets. We'd expect Exalts to stabilise 15–20% above last week's baseline rather than returning fully.
