The Faded Crisis Fragment plays a significant role in Path of Exile 2's endgame economy as one of the three essential Pinnacle Keys needed to unlock and challenge the ultimate boss, the Arbiter of Ash, in The Burning Monolith.

Influence on Endgame Economy:

High Market Value: Due to its importance and relative scarcity, the Faded Crisis Fragment holds a high and increasing market value, with prices rising significantly (from around 30 Exalted Orbs to over 70 or more, and in some cases nearly 390 Exalted Orbs based on market conditions). This makes it one of the most valuable currency-like items in the game.

Trade Commodity: The fragment is heavily traded among players balancing between using it to access pinnacle content and selling it to fund builds or craft gear. This trade activity keeps it liquid and integral to currency flow in the market.

Scarcity and Farming Difficulty: Limited to drops from Copper Citadel faction leaders with a low drop rate, and requiring advanced atlas setups (such as high Waystone drop chance) to farm effectively, the fragment’s scarcity drives demand and price, reinforcing its value.

Economic Decisions: Players face strategic choices to either sell the fragment for profit or keep it to unlock pinnacle fights and potentially gain better gear and crafting materials. This dynamic affects supply availability and market fluctuation.

Investment Impact: Investing resources in increasing Waystone Drop Chance on the atlas or crafting high-tier Waystones to farm fragments efficiently adds a layer of economic planning in pursuit of these keys.

The Faded Crisis Fragment acts as a pivotal economic driver in PoE 2’s late-game, symbolizing elite access and wealth generation. Its scarcity, high value, and dual role as an unlock key and trade asset create a robust market niche, affecting player progression, trading strategies, and overall in-game economic balance.
