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

The Greater Jeweller's Orb, crucial for adding a fourth link to skill gems in Path of Exile 2, significantly boosts DPS and survivability. However, these orbs are exceptionally rare. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain them.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the late-game. Tier 10+ maps are your best bet, particularly utilizing Breaches.

Optimal Farming Setup:

Aspect	Details
Location	Breaches within expansive Grass biome maps (see map list below).
Waystones	T10+ fully upgraded Corrupted Delirious maps (use Orb of Alchemy -> Exalted Orb -> Delirium Instills -> Vaal Orb if necessary).
Waystone Modifiers	Increased Number of Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Number of Monster Packs, Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items Found, Rare Monsters have 1 additional modifier.
Atlas Node	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency).
Build	Prioritize fast wave clear with solid defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

Local Knowledge Node Explained:

Local Knowledge, while not directly boosting drop rates, 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, Mountains), so strategically use and respec this node based on your map choice.

Grass Biome Maps for Farming:

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

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. Utilize Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange or the trading website. The exchange is safer and more convenient, while the website might offer slightly lower prices.

Using the In-Game Currency Exchange:

Access Alva after reaching Act 3 Cruel.
Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as desired currency and "Exalted Orb/Divine Orb" as offered currency.
Place an order at or slightly above the market price for immediate acquisition.

Using the Trading Website:

Access the Path of Exile 2 trading website.
Filter by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price.
Locate listings for Greater Jeweller's Orbs.
Use "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" 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 Orbs and enhance your Path of Exile 2 builds.
