Path of Exile 2: Obtain Greater Jeweller's Orb Guide

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 abysmal outside the late-game. Breaches in high-tier maps offer the most efficient farming strategy due to the concentrated monster density.

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 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: Utilize the Local Knowledge node (increases Socket Currency drop rate by 40% in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are considered Socket Currency).
• Build: A build with strong wave-clearing capabilities and decent defenses is recommended (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer). However, wave clear isn't strictly necessary. Remember to use Precursor Tablets on nearby Towers to boost drops.

Understanding Local Knowledge:

The Local Knowledge node subtly alters drop rates, increasing Socket Currency (including Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes by 40%. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert: more Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: more 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. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and trading website offer different advantages.

• In-game Currency Exchange: Offers a secure and convenient way to trade, providing a clear market price.
• Trading Website: May offer slightly cheaper prices, but requires more effort to find deals and carries a risk of scams. Use the website's filters, specifically selecting Exalted Orb under Buyout Price, to efficiently locate listings. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game.

By combining these farming and trading strategies, players can significantly increase their chances of obtaining the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance their Path of Exile 2 builds.
