The Greater Jeweller's Orb is a highly sought-after currency item in Path of Exile 2, enabling players to add a fourth link to a skill gem. For those looking to enhance their endgame builds, securing this orb is crucial as it allows for the addition of more support gems, significantly boosting DPS and survivability.

While both the Greater Jeweller's Orb and Perfect Jeweller's Orb (used for 5-link items) are extremely rare drops, there are effective strategies to increase your chances of obtaining them. Let's delve into how you can farm and trade for these valuable orbs.

How to Farm Greater Jeweller's Orb in PoE 2

The Greater Jeweller's Orb can technically drop from any monster in Path of Exile 2, including those in the campaign. However, due to its low drop rate, the most reliable farming method is in the late endgame within Tier 10+ maps.

Breaches offer the best opportunity to farm for the Greater Jeweller's Orb due to the high volume of monsters you can kill in a short time. While a build with excellent wave-clear can enhance efficiency, it's not essential. The rarity of the Waystones used significantly impacts potential drops. Additionally, utilizing Precursor Tablets on nearby Towers can boost both the drop rate and quantity of items. Here's a detailed setup for farming the Greater Jeweller's Orb in PoE 2:

Farm Location

Any Breach in a wide open Grass biome map (details listed below).

Waystones

T10+ fully upgraded Corrupted Delirous maps (use Orb of Alchemy -> Exalted Orb -> Delirium Instills -> Vaal Orb - if needed)

Best 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.

Best Atlas Skill Tree Node

Local Knowledge (Increases the drop rate of Socket Currency by 40% in Grass Biomes. Greater Jeweller's Orbs count as Socket Currency.)

Build

Fast wave clear with decent defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer)

How Does Local Knowledge Work

Local Knowledge is an early node in the Path of Exile 2 Atlas tree that shifts the weighting of drops to favor Socket Currency (+40%) in Grass biomes. This includes the Lesser Jeweller's Orb, Greater Jeweller's Orb, and Perfect Jeweller's Orb.

However, activating Local Knowledge can have unintended consequences in other biomes, such as increased drops of less desirable items. It's advisable to respec out of this node when not in Grass, Forest, or Swamp biomes. Here are the Grass biome maps ideal for farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs:

Map Biome 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

How to Trade For Greater Jeweller's Orb in PoE 2

Trading is the most reliable method to acquire a Greater Jeweller's Orb. You can use Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange or the trading website. The currency exchange provides a secure and straightforward way to trade, offering a clear market rate. However, the trading website might offer the orb at a lower price, requiring some diligence to find the best deal.

To use the Currency Exchange, engage with Alva after reaching Act 3 Cruel and select the relevant options. Enter Greater Jeweller's Orb in the 'I Want' section and Exalted Orb/Divine Orb in the 'I Have' section to see the current exchange rate. Place an order at or slightly above the market rate for immediate acquisition.

When using the trading website, ensure to filter by Exalted Orb under Buyout Price, as the site considers 10 Exalted Orbs equivalent to 1 Divine Orb. Navigate to the trading website with Path of Exile 2 open, search for Greater Jeweller's Orb, and use the 'Direct Whisper' or 'Copy Whisper' feature to initiate a trade with the seller.
