Vaal orbs wont be valuable at all

Big item sink.

You get a level 40 pair of boots. Rolls not bad. Need 4 sockets, use 10 jewelers, 5 fusings to link and 10 chromes to get the colors u need. Vaal it, turns it to shit. Look at the currency used. Noob and YOLO trap, if ever I saw one.
still you can throw it on a map, which will make them at least a chisel worth, but since u will use them on already nice Q% maps they will be worth around a chaos or more. Who knows.

Maps, gems, boxes... enough vaal orb sinks imo.

EDIT: Also some jewelry with useless implicit mods like mana ring, iron ring etc.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

It will likely even out at somewhere between an alch and a chaos.

It's already worth less than a chaos on Invasion, which is a pretty good predictor of future value overall since it's fresh.

There is high demand now for Vaal Orbs because they are new and novel and there is a big backlog of items that could use corrupting.

you have no brain. they were worth less than a Chaos in Invasion because Invasion is 2 days old and there is not enough currency around.

What?

It's a matter of utility and demand. Chaos are more directly useful than Vaal Orbs, will be used in greater quantity, and have the same rarity.

That makes the chaos a price ceiling for the vaal orb (again, assuming there isn't a giant backlog like there is right now on the legacy leagues)

It's really not that complicated.

False. It's a matter of SUPPLY and demand. Assuming chaos and vaal orbs have the same drop rate, the majority of chaos floating in the economy is from the chaos recipe.

Personally i make ~10 chaos from the recipe for every chaos orb i drop

So unless there is an equivalent recipe for vaal orb, chaos orbs supply will far exceed vaal orbs.

Demand is more difficult to predict. Remember chaos orbs can only be used to roll rare items and maps, while vaal orbs can be used to roll pretty much everything. I can't wait to get enough vaal orbs to roll all my shit uniques and some mid tier rares, but i'm not keen to roll anything with my chaos orbs except maps, but that's just me.
vaal orbs are the ultimate form of gambling in poe.

Yes!

Also, shit belt implicit mods.
Eventually, those are the best to do, no socket hassle.
