The Greater Jeweller's Orb is a pivotal item in Path of Exile 2, allowing players to add a fourth link to a skill gem. This enhancement can significantly boost your endgame builds by enabling the use of additional support gems, which can drastically improve both your damage per second (DPS) and survivability. However, acquiring the Greater Jeweller's Orb and the even rarer Perfect Jeweller's Orb (5-link item) is a challenging task, as they are scarce even in the endgame. Fortunately, there are strategies to increase your chances of obtaining these valuable items.

How to Farm Greater Jeweller's Orb in PoE 2

The Greater Jeweller's Orb can drop from any monster in Path of Exile 2, but its rarity makes it nearly impossible to obtain without focusing on late-endgame activities. The most effective way to farm this item is in Tier 10+ maps, particularly by leveraging Breaches, which provide a high volume of monsters to kill within a short time frame.

To maximize your farming efficiency, consider the following setup:

Farm Location	Waystones	Best Waystone Modifiers	Best Atlas Skill Tree Node	Build
Any Breach in a wide open Grass biome map (details listed below).	T10+ fully upgraded Corrupted Delirious maps (use Orb of Alchemy -> Exalted Orb -> Delirium Instills -> Vaal Orb - if needed)	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.	Local Knowledge (Increases the drop rate of Socket Currency by 40% in Grass Biomes. Greater Jeweller's Orbs count as Socket Currency.)	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 essential node in the Atlas tree of Path of Exile 2. It doesn't directly increase the drop rate but adjusts the drop weighting to favor Socket Currency (+40%) in Grass biomes. This includes Lesser Jeweller's Orb, Greater Jeweller's Orb, and Perfect Jeweller's Orb.

However, Local Knowledge has a downside: it increases the drop rate of less desirable items in other biomes. To mitigate this, it's advisable to respec out of Local Knowledge when not in Grass, Forest, or Swamp biomes. Here are the ideal Grass biome maps for farming Greater Jeweller's Orbs:

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

If farming seems too daunting, trading is a more 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 is safer and more convenient, providing a clear market value, while the trading website might offer cheaper options but requires more effort to find the best deals.

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

When using the trading website, ensure Path of Exile 2 is running in the background. Navigate to the site, search for Greater Jeweller's Orb, and review the listings. Use the 'Direct Whisper' feature to contact sellers in-game. If this option is unavailable, use the 'Copy Whisper' function to send a message manually.

By understanding these strategies, you can effectively farm or trade for the Greater Jeweller's Orb, enhancing your Path of Exile 2 gameplay experience.
