Path of Exile 2: How to Get Greater Jeweller\'s Orb

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. This significantly boosts damage and survivability, particularly in endgame builds. However, these orbs are notoriously rare. This guide outlines two primary methods for obtaining them: farming and trading.

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 utilizes specific mechanics to increase your chances.

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: Invest in Local Knowledge (boosts Socket Currency drops by 40% in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are considered Socket Currency).
• Build: A build with strong wave-clear and decent defenses is recommended (examples include Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, or Stormweaver Sorcerer).

Local Knowledge Explained: This Atlas node doesn't directly increase drop rates but re-weights drops, favoring Socket Currency in Grass biomes. Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs all fall under this category. Remember to respec out of Local Knowledge when farming in non-Grass biomes (Desert, Mountain) to avoid negatively impacting your loot.

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the trading website are both viable options.

In-game Currency Exchange: Interact with Alva (Act 3 Cruel onwards), specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as your desired item, and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs. This provides a clear market price and eliminates scam risks.

Trading Website: Use the official trading website to browse listings. Filter by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price. Contact sellers via in-game whispers. Be aware of potential scams when using this method.

By employing these farming and trading strategies, you can significantly improve your chances of acquiring the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orbs and enhance your Path of Exile 2 experience.
