The Greater Jeweller's Orb is one of the most coveted resources in Path of Exile 2, desired by all players who have reached the endgame. This orb can drop from any monster, so you don't necessarily need to repeatedly kill tough bosses in hopes of getting valuable loot. However, its drop rate is so low that it’s almost negligible! Below, we’ll explain how to increase your chances of obtaining the Greater Jeweller's Orb.Greater Jeweller's OrbImage: gamerblurb.com

How to Increase Your Chances of Getting a Greater Jeweller's Orb?

The best way to acquire this rare item is to kill monsters as often as possible. Of course, you can wander around the locations aimlessly, spending hours killing anything that moves, but we recommend a more realistic approach.

First, we suggest focusing your efforts on Tier 10+ maps. The best option for farming orbs will be Breaches. In this format, you’ll encounter a massive number of monsters in a short period, giving you the chance to kill them all. The effectiveness of these clears will be higher if you use a build suited for mass damage. Additionally, remember that the rarity of Waystones also influences drop chances in the area. Don’t forget to use Precursor Tablets if you have them on nearby Towers.

But that's not all! The Atlas Skill Tree can also help you acquire this rare resource. Activate the "Local Knowledge" node, which increases the drop rate of Socket Currency by 40% in Grass Biomes, as Greater Jeweller's Orbs are considered Socket Currency! However, keep in mind that this passive skill has a downside — it also affects the drop chances in other biomes. For example, in the Mountains, you'll get more gold, which is rather unexciting.

Here’s a list of maps with Grass Biome where you can farm orbs with an improved drop chance: Augury, Blooming Field, Crypt, Decay, Hidden Grotto, Savannah, Seepage, and Vaal Factory.

Why Do You Need Greater Jeweller's Orb?

Now, let’s think about what you’ll do with this orb once you get it! First, the Greater Jeweller's Orb can be used for its primary purpose — adding a fourth socket to your skill gem with three slots. The ability to add more survivability or DPS to your character will undoubtedly make them stronger. However, think about this: if you’re still at the beginning of your journey, it might be better to sell the orb to other players and use the currency to buy a great weapon or armor if you have any weak spots in your gear. If you haven't fully equipped your character, this trade might be far more beneficial!
