POE2: How to Acquire Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Path of Exile 2: Acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orbs – Farming and Trading Strategies

The Greater Jeweller's Orb is crucial for upgrading skill gems in Path of Exile 2, adding a vital fourth link to enhance damage and survivability. However, these orbs are notoriously rare. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain them.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically droppable from any monster, the odds are astronomically low outside the late-game. The most efficient farming method involves high-tier maps and breaches.

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 needed).
• Waystone Modifiers: Prioritize increased rare monster count, pack size, item quantity, and monster pack density. Modifiers like "Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items Found" and "Rare Monsters have 1 additional modifier" are also highly beneficial.
• Atlas Skill Tree: Invest in the "Local Knowledge" node. This boosts Socket Currency drops (including Greater Jeweller's Orbs) by 40% in Grass biomes. Remember to respec out of this node when farming in other biomes.
• Build: A build with strong wave-clearing capabilities and decent defenses is recommended (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

How Local Knowledge Works:

The Local Knowledge node doesn't directly increase drop rates but re-weights the loot table, significantly increasing the chance of Socket Currency (Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes.

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading provides a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. Utilize Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange or the official trading website.

• In-game Exchange: Offers a secure and convenient way to trade using Exalted Orbs or Divine Orbs. Check the current market rate and place an order slightly above to ensure a quick transaction.
• Trading Website: May offer cheaper prices, but requires more effort to find deals and carries a slightly higher risk of scams. Filter by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price to see listings more effectively. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game.

By employing these farming and trading strategies, you can significantly increase your chances of obtaining the valuable Greater Jeweller's Orbs to enhance your Path of Exile 2 builds.
