Ancient Orb
Understand how an Ancient Orb reforges a Path of Exile 1 unique into another unique of the same item class and why the outcome pool matters.
What happens if you use it?
The unique becomes another unique of the same item class.
The item-class boundary governs the possible result.
The current unique is expendable and the outcome pool is attractive.
The item can become a less useful unique with no guaranteed target.

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.
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.
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.
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.
