PoE 2: Guide to Acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orb

Mastering the Path of Exile 2 Greater Jeweller's Orb: Farming and Trading Strategies

The Greater Jeweller's Orb is a highly sought-after currency item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for adding a fourth link to skill gems and significantly boosting build potential. Its rarity, however, presents a challenge. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to acquire this valuable item.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the late-game. Breaches in high-tier maps offer the most efficient farming strategy due to the concentrated monster density. Wave-clear speed helps, but isn't strictly necessary. Waystone rarity and the use of Precursor Tablets significantly impact drops.

Local Knowledge Node Explained

The Local Knowledge Atlas node doesn't directly boost drop rates, but re-weights drops to favor Socket Currency (including Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert: Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: Gold). Strategically use this node only in Grass, Forest, or Swamp biomes.

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading provides a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. The in-game currency exchange offers a secure and convenient way to determine the current market value and execute trades using Exalted Orbs or Divine Orbs. The trading website might offer slightly cheaper options but requires more effort and carries a higher risk of scams.

Using the In-Game Currency Exchange: Trade with Alva (Act 3 Cruel onwards), specifying "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as desired and offering Exalted/Divine Orbs. Set a competitive price to ensure a quick transaction.

Using the Trading Website: Search for "Greater Jeweller's Orb," filtering by Exalted Orb buyout price. 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 coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb in Path of Exile 2. Remember to adapt your approach based on your resources and preferred playstyle.
