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 endgame builds. Its rarity, however, presents a challenge. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain this valuable currency.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically droppable from any monster, the exceedingly low drop rate necessitates focusing on high-level endgame content. Breaches in Tier 10+ maps offer the most efficient farming strategy due to the high density of monsters encountered.

Optimal Farming Setup:

Aspect	Details
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 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 Skill Tree	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass Biomes – Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency).
Build	Prioritize builds with swift wave clear and sufficient defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

Local Knowledge Node: This Atlas skill tree node doesn't directly increase drop rates but re-weights drops, significantly increasing Socket Currency (including Greater Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes. Remember that this node also affects other biome drops, so consider respeccing when farming outside Grass biomes.

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

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 the official trading website are both viable options.

In-game Currency Exchange: This method offers security and convenience, providing a clear market price. Place an order at or slightly above the market rate for a swift transaction.

Trading Website: This option might offer lower prices but requires navigating listings and interacting with other players, increasing the risk of scams. Filter by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price to efficiently locate listings. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game.

By employing these farming and trading strategies, players can significantly improve their chances of acquiring the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance their Path of Exile 2 experience.
