Path of Exile Jeweller’s Orb Guide

There are so many guides available for PoE currency already, but what about PoE orbs? No, we’re not talking about the premium currency; we’re talking about the Jeweller’s Orb that you use in the game for your skill tree! There’s still so much to uncover about this not-so-familiar item in the game. 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. So get comfy, grab a drink or snack and get ready to dig into this comprehensive guide. We’re about to get started!

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.

How to Price Your Path of Exile Currency Stacks

Path of Exile is a game that challenges the traditional. Strength in Wraeclast isn't about getting the best equipment for your character's class; it's about building stats and skills to work together in a symphony of attacks that make all your enemies just fall at your feet. You can even choose what kind of pieces, from dismembered body parts to dust and ashes. However, the journey to get there is both long and hard, especially if the RNG feels cruel to you.

Thankfully, others are there to help. Despite the lack of an in-game monetary currency system, players have found PoE orbs to be a sufficient replacement. They're not a currency per se, but items with function. It's more barter and trade than the money-grubbing systems other MMOs have in place.

That being said, to help with trading some fans have taken the time to create a site (poe.trade) that players can check to see if someone is selling something of value. Another one for currency is also available and can be accessed via the mentioned link.

How to Price a Stack

One thing that might confuse new users to the site is how to set a price for a stack of Path of Exile currency. No matter what they do, they just can't seem to set a price for a stack. So how exactly do you do it?

What they don't know is that the site assumes a stack of any amount is one unit of the stack. Potential offers should then be labeled with this format: xx/yy currency or the simpler xx currency. In that format, xx is what you want to get, yy is what you're offering. The ‘currency' bit refers to what you want to get, so it corresponds to ‘xx'.

For example, you want to sell a thousand Chaos Orbs for a Regal Orb. You set a Chaos Orb on your listing and label it as ‘1/1000 regal'. After that, it should appear on the listings. It also works for bulk selling or buying, as the label ‘10/600' exalted on an Orb of Alteration means the player will pay 600 Alteration for 10 Exalted.

As for the simpler format, it works best when you want to ‘break down' rarer orbs into more common ones. Reversing the first example above, one Regal Orb priced at 1000 Chaos means they're selling a Regal Orb for 100 Chaos. It's that simple!

Additional Notes

These labels aren't applicable to the ‘Price' and ‘Exact Price' options on the site. They can only be used in the ‘Note' option and then typed manually. The simpler format is really just the former two options, so it's more convenient to use. That is unless you're trying to break down a stack as well.

Now that you know how to price PoE currency stacks, go forth and trade! You'll get even closer to your optimal character build with this information. It'll also streamline your trading endeavors since you won't have to go around screaming in the chaos of the world chat.

Enjoy your newfound knowledge!
