Path of Exile 2: How to Get Greater Jeweller\'s Orb

Author : Evelyn Jan 26,2025

This guide details two methods for acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2: farming and trading. These orbs are crucial for adding a fourth link to skill gems, significantly boosting damage and survivability.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Farming Location Obtaining Greater Jeweller's Orbs through drops is challenging due to their low drop rate. The most effective method involves late-game Tier 10+ maps, specifically utilizing Breaches.

Optimal Farming Setup:

  • 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: Prioritize Increased Number of Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Number of Monster Packs, Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items Found, and Rare Monsters have 1 additional modifier.
  • Atlas Skill Tree Node: Local Knowledge (boosts Socket Currency drops by 40% in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are considered Socket Currency).
  • Build: A build with efficient wave-clearing and decent defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

Local Knowledge Node The Local Knowledge node significantly increases the chance of Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. Remember that this node also affects other biome drops (Desert: Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: Gold), so strategically utilize it only in appropriate maps.

Grass Biome Maps:

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading Interface Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, method. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange or the trading website are viable options. The exchange guarantees a fair price and prevents scams, while the website might offer slightly cheaper deals but requires more effort.

Using the In-Game Currency Exchange: Interact with Alva (Act 3 Cruel), specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as desired and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs. The exchange displays the current market rate.

Using the Trading Website: Access the trading website (link not provided here for security reasons) while having PoE 2 open. Search for Greater Jeweller's Orbs, filter by Exalted Orb buyout price, and contact sellers via in-game whispers. Remember to be cautious of scams.
