02What it meansOriginal PoExplorer explanation

Trade one unique identity for another in its item class.

An Ancient Orb reforges unique equipment as another unique from the same item class. The original unique is consumed by the change; this is not an upgrade that preserves its identity or modifiers.

03Practical useDecision context

Study the eligible outcome pool before gambling the item.

Use the orb only when losing the current unique is acceptable and the possible same-class outcomes justify the attempt. Item class is the governing boundary, not visual similarity or the player's preferred target.

Before you use one

The starting unique is permanently replaced, the result is random, and a desired unique is not guaranteed. Confirm the relevant item class and current outcome pool first.

04Market contextTime-sensitive

Outcome pools drive value more than the orb alone.

Demand changes with the uniques available in the league and the perceived value of eligible outcomes. A currency ratio cannot supply the probability or profitability of a particular target attempt.
