Path of Exile 2: Uncover Secrets for Jeweller's Orb Supremacy

Mastering the Art of Obtaining Greater Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2

The Greater Jeweller's Orb, a crucial item for enhancing skill gems in Path of Exile 2, is notoriously rare. This guide outlines two primary methods for acquiring this valuable currency: farming and trading.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Farming Location The Greater Jeweller's Orb, while technically obtainable from any monster, boasts an abysmally low drop rate. Efficient farming necessitates focusing on high-tier maps (Tier 10+) and employing strategic techniques.

Breaches represent the most effective farming method due to the high density of monsters encountered. While a powerful wave-clearing build isn't mandatory, it significantly improves efficiency. The quality of your Waystones is paramount; higher-tier, fully upgraded Corrupted Delirious maps drastically increase your chances. Remember to utilize Precursor Tablets on nearby Towers to further boost item quantity and drop rates.

Here's a breakdown of optimal farming parameters:

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)
Best Waystone Modifiers	Increased Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Monster Packs, Increased Item Quantity/Rarity, Rare Monsters with 1 additional modifier.
Best Atlas Skill Tree Node	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency)
Recommended Build	Fast wave-clearing build with robust defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer)

Understanding Local Knowledge

Local Knowledge Node The Local Knowledge Atlas passive skill is key. While not directly boosting drop rates, it significantly increases the likelihood of Socket Currency (including Greater Jeweller's Orbs) drops within Grass biomes. However, it also increases less desirable drops in other biomes (Desert: Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: Gold). Strategic respeccing is crucial; only activate Local Knowledge when farming Grass, Forest, or Swamp biome maps.

Here's a list of suitable Grass biome maps:

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
