Path of Exile 2: Unlock Valuable Gems with Greater Jeweller's Orb

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 02,2025

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 build power.

Farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs

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

Farming 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).
Optimal Waystone Modifiers Increased Rare Monsters, Increased Pack Size, Increased Item Quantity, Increased Monster Packs, Increased Item Quantity/Rarity, Rare Monsters +1 Modifier.
Atlas Skill Tree Node Local Knowledge (40% increased Socket Currency drop rate in Grass biomes; Greater Jeweller's Orbs are Socket Currency).
Recommended Build Fast clear speed with adequate defenses (e.g., Ice Strike Invoker Monk, Deadeye Ranger, Stormweaver Sorcerer).

The Atlas skill node, Local Knowledge, significantly increases Socket Currency drops in Grass biomes. Remember that this node also affects other biome drops, so respec out of it when farming non-Grass biomes (Grass, Forest, and Swamp biomes are ideal).

Here's a list of suitable 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 more reliable method. Utilize Path of Exile 2's in-game currency exchange or the official trading website. The exchange prevents scams and provides accurate pricing; however, the website might offer cheaper options.

In-game Currency Exchange: After reaching Act 3 Cruel, interact with Alva. Specify "Greater Jeweller's Orb" as desired and offer Exalted Orbs/Divine Orbs. Set your offer slightly above the market rate for quicker results.

Trading Website: Use the provided website address (link omitted for security; refer to the original source). Search for Greater Jeweller's Orbs, filtering by Exalted Orb buyout price. Use "Direct Whisper" or "Copy Whisper" to contact sellers in-game.

Remember to utilize Precursor Tablets on nearby Towers in Breaches to boost item drop rates and quantities. Choosing the right strategy depends on your play style and access to high-value currency.
