Orb Currency Hierarchy Needed

Im new to this game and confused on the trade system. There should be some kind of currency list. For example:

Which orb is the most valuable?

Which orb is the least valuable?

is Gem Cutter Prism the most valuable?
For example we know that

7 portal scrolls = 1 orb of transmutation
4 orb of transmutation = 1 orb of augmentation
4 orb of augmentation = 1 orb of alteration
2 orb of alteration = 1 Jeweler's Orb
3 Jeweler's Orb = 1 Chromatic Orb
4 Jeweler's Orb = 1 Orb of Fusing
4 Orb of Chance = 1 Orb of Scourging
2 Orb of Scourging = 1 Orb of Regret

So what is the value of Orb of Chance? where would it fit in to this chart?

What is the break down on value of the other orbs?

2-3 Orbs of Alchemy = 1 Chaos Orb?
2-3 Chaos Orbs = 1 Gem Cutter Prism?
X-X Orbs of ? = 1 Regal Orb?
X-X Orbs of ? = Blessed Orb?
X-X Orbs of ? = Exalted Orbs?
X-X Orbs of ? = Cartographer's Chisel?


Im sure I am missing some orbs, but I feel there should be a general guideline so people know what has a value or what orbs have value and a rough idea of what they are worth.

There are many threads that already discuss this but...

1 Exalted = 6 Gemcutter Prisms (GCP)
1 Divine = 2-3 GCP
1 GCP = 2 Chisels/3 Chaos/3 Regal/3 Regret/6 Alchemy/6-7 Fusing


Those are the ratios for the main currency orbs. The rest you can figure out based on what the vendor charges for them (e.g. 1 Fusing = 4 Jewelers, etc).

I think this overstates the value of chromatic orbs too. At least I've had little problem building up quite a bevy of them just turning in 3-color linked socket gear to the vendor, whereas jeweler's seems a lot hard to find.

You can buy chromatic and jeweler's from the vendor.

Thank you for the reply. Something like this should be made sticky. The search engine for the forums is less than desirable.

The prices are based on buying them from venders in act 1 and act 2.

so this is the breakdown then?

7 portal scrolls = 1 orb of transmutation
4 orb of transmutation = 1 orb of augmentation
4 orb of augmentation = 1 orb of alteration
2 orb of alteration = 1 Jeweler's Orb
3 Jeweler's Orb = 1 Chromatic Orb
4 Jeweler's Orb = 1 Orb of Fusing
4 Orb of Chance = 1 Orb of Scourging
2 Orb of Scourging = 1 Orb of Regret
1-Orbs of Fusing = 1 Orb of Alchmey
2-3 Orbs of Alchmey = 1 Orb of Regret
1 Orb of regret = 1 Regal Orb or 1 Chaos Orb
1-2 Regal Orb or 1-2 Chaos Orb = 1 Cartographer's Chisel
2 Cartographer's Chisel = 1 Gem Cutter Prism
2-3 Gem Cutter Prism = 1 Divine Orb
6 Gem Cutter Prism = 1 Exalted Orbs


*edited with correction from below.

1 Exlalted = 6 GCP as i said in my previous post. I didn't mention Blessed since they are basically worthless. Yes, they are rare but hardly anyone uses them and almost nobody will allow them as currency unless they specifically need one.

Sure, but being able to buy Chromatics for Jeweler's doesn't let me do the reverse.

Ie, Jeweler's will be more valuable because they're harder to get, regardless of what they can be turned into, and no one should be turning Jeweler's into Chromatics at all.
