Acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2: Farming and Trading Strategies
The Greater Jeweller's Orb is a crucial currency item in Path of Exile 2, enabling the addition of a fourth link to skill gems—a significant upgrade for endgame builds. However, its rarity presents a challenge. This guide outlines two effective methods for obtaining this valuable item: farming and trading.
Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs
While technically obtainable from any monster, the incredibly low drop rate necessitates focusing on high-tier endgame content. Breaches in Tier 10+ maps offer the best farming strategy due to the high density of monsters encountered within a short timeframe.
Optimal Farming Setup:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Breaches in 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 | Prioritize Increased Number of Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Number of Monster Packs, Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items Found, Rare Monsters have 1 additional modifier. |
| Atlas Skill Tree Node | Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency) |
| Build | A build with efficient wave-clear and decent defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer) is recommended but not strictly required. |
Understanding Local Knowledge: This Atlas passive skill doesn't directly boost drop rates but re-weights the loot pool, increasing Socket Currency drops by 40% in Grass biomes. Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs all fall under this category. Remember to respec out of Local Knowledge when mapping biomes other than Grass, Forest, or Swamp to avoid negatively impacting other drops.
Grass Biome Maps for Farming:
| Map | Biome |
|---|---|
| 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
A more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method is direct trading. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the official trading website are both viable options.
In-game Currency Exchange: Accessible after reaching Act 3 Cruel, this offers a secure and convenient way to trade. Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as the desired item and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs as payment. The exchange will display the current market rate.
Trading Website: This option might offer cheaper prices but carries a higher risk of scams. Filter searches by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price to see accurate pricing. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game.
By employing these farming and trading strategies, players can significantly increase their chances of obtaining the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance their Path of Exile 2 builds. Remember to utilize all available tools and strategies to maximize your efficiency.
