Mastering the Path of Exile 2 Greater Jeweller's Orb: Farming and Trading Strategies
The Greater Jeweller's Orb is crucial for enhancing your Path of Exile 2 builds, adding a fourth link to skill gems. However, obtaining this rare currency can be challenging. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods.
Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs
While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low. The most efficient farming strategy involves late-game Tier 10+ maps, specifically utilizing Breaches.
- Optimal Farming Setup:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Farm 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 | Increased Rare Monsters, Pack Size, Item Quantity, Monster Packs, Item Quantity/Rarity, Rare Monster Additional Modifiers |
| Atlas Skill Node | Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency) |
| Build | Prioritize fast clear speed with sufficient defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer) |
Understanding Local Knowledge
The Local Knowledge Atlas passive 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 utilize it only in Grass, Forest, or Swamp maps.
Grass Biome Maps for Farming:
| Map | Biome(s) |
|---|---|
| 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 reliable alternative. The in-game currency exchange provides a secure and convenient method, displaying current market prices. The trading website may offer slightly cheaper options but carries a higher risk of scams.
-
In-game Currency Exchange: Access via Alva (Act 3 Cruel). Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as desired currency and offer Exalted/Divine Orbs.
-
Trading Website: Use the provided website link (ensure Path of Exile 2 is open). Filter by "Exalted Orb" buyout price for efficient searching. Use "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" to contact sellers in-game.
By combining 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.
