How To Get Greater Jeweler’s Orb In Path Of Exile 2?

Greater Jeweler’s Orb is an essential item for players in the character building process, because it can open a fourth slot for your skill gems, allowing you to place more auxiliary gems and greatly increase your DPS. Perfect Jeweler’s Orb can open another slot.

The more slots you have after your skill gems, the more powerful your skill is. However, not only Perfect Jeweler’s Orbs but also Greater Jeweler’s Orbs are quite rare in the game. Even players who have reached the endgame may not have many Greater Jeweler’s Orbs in their hands.

But it is not impossible to get Greater Jeweler’s Orb. There are still some ways to increase the chance of getting Greater Jeweler’s Orb.

How To Get Greater Jeweler’s Orb In Path Of Exile 2?

Farming Greater Jeweler’s Orb

In theory, any monster will drop Greater Jeweler’s Orb, but the probability is so low that it makes people laugh. Even when you reach the endgame mode, this will not get better. But if you want to farm Greater Jeweler’s Orb quickly, the only feasible way seems to be to use Breaches of Tier 10+ maps.

Why choose Breaches? Because players can clear monsters in large quantities on this map, and Waystone can increase the drop rate of items. Since the drop rate of a monster is low, it is recommended to find a place with more monsters, and the drop rate will naturally increase. If you plan to farm Greater Jeweler’s Orb this way, it is recommended that you use a character with a fast monster clearing speed, because this is more efficient. Secondly, make sure you use a Waystone that can increase loot drops.

  • Where to spawn monsters: In Breaches, any open monster gathering place.
  • Waystone: T10+ Corrupted Delirous maps (You can use POE 2 Currency to improve the quality of your Waystone.)
  • Waystone Modifiers: Increase the number of monsters, increase the appearance rate of rare monsters, increase the appearance rate of rare items, increase the number of item drops, and rare monsters gain an additional modifier.
  • Atlas Skill Tree Node: Local Knowledge (Increases Socket Currency Drop Rate in Grass Biomes by 40%).
  • Build: Recommended Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Stormweaver Sorcerer, Deadeye Ranger. These Builds can quickly clear groups of monsters.

Local Knowledge

Local Knowledge is an early node in Atlas tree of Path of Exile 2. It does not change the drop rate of items, but changes the chance of the corresponding item appearing in the drop. For example, if you kill monsters and get a total of 100 loot, including 10 Lesser Jeweler’s Orbs, and after you add a point to Local Knowledge, you will still get 100 loot, but including 50 Lesser Jeweler’s Orbs in the loot.

Lesser Jeweler’s Orb, Greater Jeweler’s Orb, and Perfect Jeweler’s Orb are all socket currency. But after adding a point to Local Knowledge, they are more likely to appear in the drops of Grass Biomes.

Of course, Local Knowledge has both advantages and disadvantages. Under the influence of Local Knowledge, Desert Biomes will drop more Baryas and Ultimatums. Gold will appear more in Mountains Biomes, which is not a good thing because when players enter the endgame they already don‘t need so much gold, but other things. Therefore, when you are sure that you need to farm the items you need on the corresponding map, you should use Local Knowledge.

Here are some Grass Biomes that will increase the drop rate of Greater Jeweler’s Orb after you add Local Knowledge:

  • 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

Currency Exchange

If you can’t stand the boring process of farming Greater Jeweler’s Orb, there is now an option. That is to trade directly with other players. POE 2 has some trading websites, or currency exchanges in the game. Of course, the currency exchange in the game is better because you will basically not be cheated. Trading websites are often a more economical choice.

To use currency exchange, you need to complete Act III and enter Cruel difficulty. At this time, you can talk to an NPC named Alva to open the currency exchange menu. Click “I want” button, find Greater Jeweler’s Orb, and then click “I have”. Put in your Exalted Orb or Regal Orb to see the exchange rate between the two items.

If you are satisfied with the exchange, then click Place Order at the bottom of the menu. Of course, you can also try to put in a slightly whispered amount, but often the other party will not accept it.

In general, using the trading website or currency exchange seems to be the fastest way, but this method is best used to solve your immediate needs. If you rely on this method, you will find that you will still be short of other items. The entire POE 2 drop system is a bit of a gamble, but farming on the map can also bring you a lot of extra surprises. Both have their pros and cons, and players can choose the method they like to get Greater Jeweler’s Orb or even Perfect Jeweler’s Orb.
