Greater Jeweller's Orb Acquisition in Path of Exile 2
Acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2: Farming and Trading Strategies
The Greater Jeweller's Orb, crucial for adding a fourth link to skill gems in Path of Exile 2, significantly boosts endgame builds. Its rarity, however, presents a challenge. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain this valuable currency.
Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs
While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the endgame. Tier 10+ maps offer the best chance, particularly utilizing Breach encounters.
Optimal Farming Setup:
Aspect | Details |
---|---|
Location | Breaches within expansive Grass biome maps (see list below). |
Waystones | T10+ fully upgraded Corrupted Delirious maps (use Orb of Alchemy -> Exalted Orb -> Delirium Instills -> Vaal Orb if necessary). |
Waystone Modifiers | Increased Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Monster Packs, Increased Item Quantity/Rarity, Rare Monsters with additional modifiers. |
Atlas Skill Node | Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency). |
Build | Fast wave clear with solid defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer). |
Local Knowledge Node Explained:
Local Knowledge, an Atlas skill, boosts Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. This includes Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert, Mountains), so strategically use and respec this node based on your map biome.
Grass Biome Maps for Farming:
Map Name | Biomes |
---|---|
Augury | Grass/Forest/Swamp |
Blooming Field | Grass/Forest |
Crypt | Grass/Mountain/Desert |
Decay | Grass/Forest/Swamp |
Hidden Grotto | Grass/Mountain/Forest/Swamp |
Seepage | Grass/Forest/Swamp |
Savannah | Grass/Desert |
Vaal Factory | Grass/City |
Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs
Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially costlier, method. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the trade website are both viable options.
In-game Currency Exchange: Provides a secure and convenient way to determine and execute trades using Exalted Orbs or Divine Orbs.
Trade Website: May offer cheaper listings but carries a higher risk of scams. Filter by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price to efficiently browse listings. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game.
By employing these farming and trading strategies, you can significantly increase your chances of acquiring the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance your Path of Exile 2 experience.
