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 efficient farming and trading methods to obtain this valuable currency.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the late-game. Tier 10+ maps offer the best chance, particularly utilizing Breaches.

Optimal Farming Setup:

Aspect	Details
Location	Breaches within expansive Grass biome maps (see map list below).
Waystones	T10+ fully upgraded Corrupted Delirious maps (use Orb of Alchemy -> Exalted Orb -> Delirium Instills -> Vaal Orb if necessary).
Waystone Modifiers	Increased Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Monster Packs, Increased Quantity/Rarity of Items, Rare Monsters with extra modifiers.
Atlas Node	Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency).
Build	Fast clear speed with solid defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

Local Knowledge Explained:

Local Knowledge, an Atlas tree node, increases Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. This includes Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs. However, it negatively impacts other biomes (Desert, Mountains), so strategically activate it only in Grass, Forest, or Swamp maps.

Grass Biome Maps:

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 offers a reliable alternative. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and trading website are both viable options.

In-game Currency Exchange: This method eliminates scams and provides accurate pricing. Trade Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs for Greater Jeweller's Orbs.

Trading Website: Potentially cheaper, but requires searching listings and interacting with other players. Use the "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" function to contact sellers in-game. Filter by Exalted Orb buyout price for efficient searching.

By employing these farming and trading strategies, you can significantly increase your chances of acquiring the coveted Greater Jeweller's Orb in Path of Exile 2. Remember to adapt your approach based on your resources and play style.
