The Greater Jeweller's Orb, crucial for adding a fourth link to skill gems in Path of Exile 2, significantly boosts DPS and survivability. Its rarity, however, presents a challenge. This guide outlines two approaches: farming and trading.
While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the late-game. The most effective method involves leveraging Breaches in high-tier maps.
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 needed) |
| 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) |
Local Knowledge Node: This Atlas passive significantly increases Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. Remember, Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs all qualify. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert, Mountains), so respec accordingly.
Grass Biome Maps:
| 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 offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, alternative. Two 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 desired currency and offer Exalted/Divine Orbs. This provides a real-time market price.
Trading Website: Use the official trading website (link omitted for security reasons, but easily searchable). Filter by "Exalted Orb" buyout price for efficient searching. Directly whisper sellers in-game to complete the transaction. Be cautious of scams.
By employing these farming and trading strategies, players can significantly improve their chances of obtaining the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance their Path of Exile 2 builds.
