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 crucial for endgame builds in Path of Exile 2, adding a fourth link to skill gems. Its rarity, however, presents a challenge. This guide details two effective methods for obtaining this valuable currency: farming and trading.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

While technically obtainable from any monster, the drop rate is abysmally low outside the late-game. The most efficient farming method focuses on high-tier maps and strategic optimization.

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	Fast-clearing build with solid defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer)

Understanding Local Knowledge:

The Local Knowledge passive skill doesn't directly boost drop rates, but it reweights drops to favor Socket Currency (including Lesser, Greater, and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs) in Grass biomes. Remember to respec out of Local Knowledge when mapping outside Grass, Forest, or Swamp biomes to avoid negative effects.

Grass Biome Maps:

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 reliable alternative. Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange and the trading website provide avenues for direct acquisition. The exchange is safer and more convenient, 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 your desired item and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs. The exchange displays the current market price; place an order at or slightly above the market rate for immediate acquisition.

Using the Trading Website:

Access the Path of Exile 2 trading website. Filter results by "Exalted Orb" under Buyout Price. Contact sellers via "Direct Whisper" or copy the whisper message to send in-game.

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 experience.
