Vaal Currency for Risky Endgame Upgrades
Temple Currency is not everyday crafting material. These items are for the risky side of PoE 2 item upgrading — corrupted gear, Vaal outcomes, Soul Core changes, extraction attempts, and other high-impact crafting decisions.
This category includes Architect’s Orb, Crystallised Corruption, Core Destabiliser, Vaal Cultivation Orb, Orb of Extraction, and Vaal Siphoner. Items like Architect’s Orb can modify corrupted equipment or jewels unpredictably, while Core Destabiliser is tied to Soul Core modification. Current market trackers also group these items under Incursion-style currency, with Crystallised Corruption, Vaal Cultivation Orb, Orb of Extraction, Architect’s Orb, and Core Destabiliser appearing in the same trade category.
This is the category for players who already have something worth gambling on. Maybe it is a corrupted item with potential. Maybe it is a Soul Core setup. Maybe you are trying to push an endgame item further and accept the risk because the upside is worth it.
Use Temple Currency when normal crafting is not enough and you are ready for the messy part: corruption, rerolls, item changes, and expensive “please don’t brick this” moments.
