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

Acquiring Greater Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2: Farming and Trading Strategies

The Greater Jeweller's Orb is a crucial currency in Path of Exile 2, enabling the addition of a fourth link to skill gems – a significant boost to both damage and survivability. However, its rarity presents a challenge. This guide outlines two effective methods for obtaining this valuable item: farming and trading.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically droppable from any monster, the abysmally low drop rate necessitates focusing on high-level endgame content. Breaches in Tier 10+ maps offer the best farming strategy due to the high density of monsters within a short timeframe. While a fast-clearing build is advantageous, it's not strictly necessary.

Optimal Farming Setup:

Aspect	Details
Location	Breaches in 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 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.
Atlas Skill Tree Node	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass Biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency)
Build	A build balancing fast clear speed and sufficient defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer)

Understanding Local Knowledge:

The Local Knowledge Atlas passive skill significantly boosts Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. This includes Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert: more Baryas and Ultimatums; Mountains: more Gold). Strategically utilize Local Knowledge only in appropriate Grass biome maps.

Grass Biome Maps for Farming:

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

Trading for Greater Jeweller's Orbs

Trading offers a more reliable, albeit potentially more expensive, alternative. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the official trading website are both viable options. The exchange avoids scams and provides transparent pricing, while the website might offer slightly cheaper deals.

Using the In-Game Currency Exchange:

After reaching Act 3 Cruel, interact with Alva. Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as the desired item and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs in exchange. The exchange rate will be displayed, allowing you to place an order at or slightly above the market price for immediate acquisition.

Using the Trading Website:

Visit the official trading website (link omitted for security reasons, please refer to the official PoE website for the correct link). Filter searches by setting the Buyout Price to Exalted Orbs. Contact sellers via "Direct Whisper" or by copying the whisper message and pasting it into the in-game chat.

By employing these farming and trading strategies, you can significantly increase your chances of obtaining the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb and enhance your Path of Exile 2 builds. Remember to adapt your approach based on your available resources and playstyle.
