Path of Exile 2: Essential Guide to Greater Jeweller's Orb Acquisition

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, significantly boosting damage and survivability. However, its rarity presents a challenge. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain this valuable item.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the endgame. The most efficient farming strategy focuses on high-tier maps and specific map mechanics.

Optimal Farming Setup:

• 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: Prioritize Increased Number of Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Number of Monster Packs, Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items Found, and Rare Monsters have 1 additional modifier.
• Atlas Skill Tree Node: Utilize the Local Knowledge node (increases Socket Currency drop rate by 40% in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are considered Socket Currency).
• Build: A build with strong wave-clearing capabilities and decent defenses is recommended (examples include Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, or Stormweaver Sorcerer). However, wave clear isn't strictly necessary. Remember to use Precursor Tablets on nearby Towers to boost drops.

Local Knowledge Node Explained

The Local Knowledge node alters drop weighting, increasing Socket Currency (including Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes by 40%. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert: more Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: more Gold). Strategically allocate this node based on your biome.

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. Two primary avenues exist: in-game currency exchange and the Path of Exile 2 trading website.

In-Game Currency Exchange: Access this via Alva (Act 3 Cruel). Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as the desired item and "Exalted Orb/Divine Orb" as your offered currency. The exchange will display the current market rate.

Trading Website: Use the official trading website (link omitted for security; search online for the official PoE 2 trading site). Search for "Greater Jeweller's Orb," filtering by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price. Contact sellers via in-game whispers.

Remember to exercise caution when trading with individuals outside the official channels to avoid scams. The in-game exchange provides a safer, albeit potentially less cost-effective, option.
