Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur Currency Exchange Market – Explained

Grinding Gear Games has added a highly requested feature that has not been implemented in Path of Exile for nearly a decade. In Path of Exile’s Settlers of Kalguur League, we have the first-ever Currency Exchange Market. Gone are the days when you want to turn a Divine Orb into thousands of Orb of Alterations through trade and get no replies. Here’s a quick explainer of how the Currency Exchange Market will work in Path of Exile’s Settlers of Kalguur.

PoE’s Settlers of Kalguur Currency Exchange Market, Explained

Path of Exile’s Currency Exchange Market works like a real-life stock exchange. The market is accessed through Faustus in Kingsmarch or the Settler’s area. This Currency Exchange Market gives players an automated trade feature where you can place buy and sell orders for your currency.

As you may already know, PoE’s main currency is not through gold but through items with varying effects. Even if there is a gold currency introduced in the patch, Chaos Orbs still acts as a “currency” because of how it is used to craft, enchant, or even buff your map devices. Items like these fall under the currency and there are hundreds of these items.

You can place buy and sell orders for all these items through the Currency Exchange Market, so you don’t have to go through PoE’s trade website and message a bunch of sellers hoping to swap currencies at a certain rate.

The biggest change players might have overlooked is that if you place a sell order and you suddenly go offline and the price fluctuates overnight, your sale still goes through.

How to Trade Using the Currency Exchange Market in Path of Exile

Once you open up the Currency Exchange through Faustus, you’ll see the “I Want” on the left and “I Have” on the right. Place the currency you want to purchase on the “I Want” and place the currency you are willing to trade for it on the “I Have” tabs. Once you have the currencies set, you can hover over the “Market Ratio” in the middle and check the current exchange rate for this type of transaction.

Each change on any of the tabs will change the market ratio, so if you have stockpiled a bunch of different currencies, you can change the ongoing rates for each of them to find the best deal. The most popular currencies will be listed on the top of the Currency Exchange Market, so if you want a fast deal, you should use these currencies for trading. Usually, these are Chaos Orbs and Divine Orbs, but seeing how these transactions will be automated, other currencies might see a rise in exchanges.

To use the Currency Exchange Market, you’ll need to pay some gold as a “transaction fee” for any order. However, when you reach the endgame, these gold costs will be trivial. It is also worth noting that gold will not be refunded when you create a sell order and cancel it. This is a way to prevent players from spamming sell orders for an absurd price. You can also place Faustus in your Hideout to make these transactions easier.

When you get a sale or a purchase order completed, you’ll see your orders get highlighted when accessing the Currency Exchange Market. You can hold Ctrl and press right-click to grab all the stacks instantly or Ctrl and left-click if you want to get them stack by stack. On consoles, you can press and hold square or X to do the same.
