We’ll be showing you the methods of stocking up on these beauties as well as help you get to know more about what’s so special about them compared to the ones that you already know.

What’s aJeweller’s Orb?

A Jeweller’s Orb is a type of currency that is used to re-roll the number of sockets on the weapon or armor that you want. Although you are limited by the type of equipment that you have and its item level based on how many sockets you can fit into, Jeweller’s Orbs are essential if you want to upgrade your equipment. Besides that, Jeweller’s Orbs also, give out random links or colors that can either benefit you or make your life that much harder when customizing your character’s stats.

A handy tip that we have about Jeweller’s Orbs is that while they’re not a precious commodity in the game, it’s better to keep then until you reached the endgame. This is because, during that time, they’re more useful since you’ll be focused on making your character stronger instead of the storyline.

Methods of Obtaining a Jeweller’s Orb

There are different ways of farming Jeweller’s Orbs. One of them is to simply buy them from one of the vendors around Path of Exile. A Jeweller’s Orb costs about 2 Alteration Orbs each, so be sure to save up on them. You can find the vendor recipe, Yeena, in the Forest Encampment. Besides Orb of Alternation, you can also trade in Chromatic and Orb of Fusing Orbs to her for Jeweller’s Orbs. Chaos Orbs can also be traded in, but we don’t recommend it as Chaos Orbs are a useful currency. These orbs can reforge a rare item with new modifiers.

Another way to get Jeweller’s Orbs is through killing monsters. By slaying monsters and other similar methods like destroying chests and opening strongboxes, there’s a chance to get Jeweller’s Orbs. The drop rate is low at 5.508%, but it’s not as bad as other rare items.

Can You Trade Items for Jeweller’s Orbs?

Yes. You can trade different types of orbs for Jeweller’s Orbs by visiting Yeena. If you don’t want to let go of your other orbs, there’s another alternative available. By selling an item that has six sockets in it to any NPC, you’ll be able to get six Jeweller’s Orbs. This is especially useful if you’ve already “outgrown” an item. Instead of selling it for gold, you can further enhance the equipment that your character is wearing by re-rolling the number of sockets that can be used to put in possibly more jewels.

Conclusion

Despite Jeweller’s Orbs being common, they’re actually pretty valuable. In fact, they are deemed as a Path of Exile currency (PoE currency) that’s pretty useful next to PoE orbs like the Chaos Orbs.
