Quick answer: As of 13 July 2026 on the 0.5.4 Runes of Aldur trade league, an Orb of Annulment trades for roughly 386 Exalted Orbs — about 0.77 of a Divine Orb, or ~6 Chaos Orbs each. In practical terms, 1 Divine Orb ≈ 1.3 Orbs of Annulment, so an Annulment is one of the most expensive currencies in the game — pricier than every common crafting orb, and behind only the Mirror, the Perfect-tier orbs, and the Divine itself. Its price is high because it's a scarce, high-risk crafting finisher: every high-end rare that gets "cut" to perfection burns Annulments, and supply never keeps up with endgame crafting demand. Prices are live and move daily — always check poe.ninja or poe2scout before you trade, and if you'd rather skip the grind you can buy PoE2 currency at your own pace.

How much is an Orb of Annulment worth in PoE2 right now?
Currency in Path of Exile 2 has no fixed price — everything floats against the two anchors traders actually use: the Exalted Orb (the small unit) and the Divine Orb (the big unit). On the current 0.5.4 Runes of Aldur economy the Divine sits at roughly 502 Exalted, and against that anchor the Orb of Annulment lands at about three-quarters of a Divine.
Here is the live snapshot as of 13 July 2026 (Runes of Aldur softcore trade, source: poe2scout / poe.ninja):
| Currency | Value in Exalted | Value in Divine | Value in Chaos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orb of Annulment | ~386 Ex | ~0.77 Div | ~6.2 Chaos |
| Divine Orb | 502 Ex | 1.00 Div | ~8 Chaos |
| Perfect Exalted Orb | ~1,426 Ex | ~2.84 Div | ~23 Chaos |
| Chaos Orb | ~62 Ex | ~0.12 Div | 1.00 Chaos |
| Exalted Orb | 1 Ex | ~0.002 Div | ~0.02 Chaos |
Bottom line: one Orb of Annulment costs about 386 Exalted, 0.77 Divine, or a little over 6 Chaos on the day this guide was written. Because it trades below a full Divine but well above everything in the low-currency tier, the Annulment sits in an awkward "expensive-but-not-a-Divine" bracket that trips up new players — you can't casually spend them, but you also can't treat them like Mirror-tier trophies.
What is the Orb of Annulment to Divine exchange rate?
This is the number most traders actually want, because Divines are how big purchases are quoted. At the current rate:
- 1 Orb of Annulment ≈ 0.77 Divine Orb
- 1 Divine Orb ≈ 1.3 Orbs of Annulment
- 10 Orbs of Annulment ≈ 7.7 Divine Orbs
So if a crafting project calls for, say, five Annulments, budget roughly 4 Divine Orbs (about 1,900 Exalted) for the Annulments alone — before you've spent a single orb on Exalts, Essences, or Omens. That is exactly why Annulment-heavy crafting is considered "rich-player" territory: the tools cost as much as the result for most gear.
For low-value trades you'll more often see Annulments quoted in Chaos (~6 each) or Exalted (~386 each); for anything premium they're quoted in Divine. Knowing all three conversions stops you from overpaying when a listing switches units on you.
Why is the Orb of Annulment so expensive in PoE2?
Three forces keep the Annulment price high, and understanding them tells you whether to buy now or wait.
1. It's a permanent crafting sink. The in-game tooltip reads: "Removes a random modifier from an item." Every time a crafter strips a bad affix off a near-perfect rare, that Annulment is gone forever. Unlike a Divine (which re-rolls values and can be "recycled" through the economy indefinitely), Annulments are consumed at the exact moment demand is highest — the finishing step of expensive gear.
2. Supply is thin. Orbs of Annulment drop rarely from monsters and stack only to 20 per slot (poe2db). There's no cheap, reliable "Annulment farm" the way there is for Chaos or Alchemy Orbs, so the drip of new supply is slow relative to how fast endgame crafters burn them.
3. High-end crafting demand is inelastic. When a build needs a specific mirror-tier item, the crafter has to Annul — there's no substitute for surgically removing one modifier. As one 0.5.4 crafting write-up puts it, the sequence is to "strip problem mods with Annulments first, then commit your guaranteed mod." Order of operations is everything, and Step 1 is almost always an Annulment.
Add those together and you get a currency whose price barely dips even when the rest of the economy deflates — buyers with the money to craft will always pay.
Has the Orb of Annulment price gone up or down?
It has trended up across the 0.5.4 league. Earlier in the current patch (mid-June 2026), an Annulment traded at roughly half a Divine — about 1.5 to 2 Annulments per Divine. As of mid-July it sits near 0.77 Divine (≈1.3 per Divine), meaning the Annulment has gained value against the Divine over the last several weeks.
That's the classic mid-league pattern: as more players finish leveling and pivot into serious crafting, Annulment demand climbs while the Divine itself slowly deflates from farming saturation. The takeaway for buyers is simple — Annulments rarely get cheaper in the back half of a league. If you know you'll need them, front-loading the purchase usually beats waiting.
One veteran trader's inflation tip applies directly here: don't sit on huge piles of raw Exalted or Chaos late in a league — convert surplus into high-end crafting currency like Annulments and Omens before the low-tier orbs lose purchasing power. Annulments hold value better than the small orbs precisely because they're a scarce sink.

Is it worth buying Orbs of Annulment in PoE2?
It's worth buying when the Annulment is a tool for a bigger payoff, and not worth buying to hoard. Here's the honest breakdown:
Buy them when:
- You're finishing a rare that's already worth far more than the Annulments it needs. Spending ~4 Divine of Annulments to complete a 100+ Divine item is trivial ROI.
- You want targeted removal with Omen of Sinistral/Dextral Annulment — pairing the omen turns a coin-flip into a prefix-only or suffix-only strike, which massively raises the expected value of each orb.
- It's mid-to-late league and you expect to craft more; buying before the price climbs further is the cheaper path.
Don't bother when:
- You're a fresh or budget character. At ~0.77 Divine each, Annulments are not a starter-currency — early gear upgrades are far cheaper bought outright than crafted.
- You'd be "gambling" bare Annulments with no omen on a cheap base. The expected loss usually exceeds the item's value.
Buy vs. farm: there's no efficient Annulment farm in 0.5.4, so most players who need volume simply buy them with Divines earned from mapping. If you'd rather convert your play time straight into the orbs you need, a PoE2 currency purchase is the fastest route — and for the crafting itself, our PoE2 boosting & crafting services can handle the risky slams for you.
How do you check the live Orb of Annulment price?
Prices in this guide are a snapshot — the real number moves daily. To pull the current rate:
- poe.ninja — the community standard. Filter to the current league (Runes of Aldur) and look up "Orb of Annulment" for its live Divine/Exalted value and a price history graph.
- poe2scout — a clean PoE2-only tracker that lists every currency in Exalted and Divine, updated frequently.

Always cross-check at least two of these before a big trade — a single tracker can lag a sudden price move by hours.
