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. However, its rarity presents a challenge. This guide outlines effective farming and trading methods to obtain this valuable currency.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the exceedingly low drop rate necessitates focusing on high-tier endgame content. Breaches in Tier 10+ maps offer the most efficient farming method due to the high density of monsters within a short timeframe. While a fast-clearing build isn't mandatory, it significantly improves efficiency.

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 Node	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass Biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency).
Build	Prioritize builds with fast clear speed and adequate defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

How Local Knowledge Works:

Local Knowledge, an Atlas tree node, doesn't directly increase drop rates but alters drop weighting. In Grass biomes, it boosts Socket Currency drops (Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) by 40%. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert: Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: Gold). Therefore, strategically respec out of Local Knowledge when farming outside Grass biomes.

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 provides a more reliable, albeit potentially costlier, method. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the trading website offer options. The exchange guarantees a fair price and avoids scams, while the website might offer slightly cheaper options but requires more searching.

Using the In-Game Currency Exchange:

Access Alva (Act 3 Cruel) and specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as the desired item and "Exalted Orb/Divine Orb" as your offered currency. The exchange displays the current market rate. Place an order at or slightly above the market price for immediate acquisition.

Using the Trading Website:

Utilize the trading website (link omitted for security), filtering by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price. Contact sellers via "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" to initiate in-game trades.

By employing 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 experience.
