Although POE 2 has made a lot of changes to Path of Exile 1, the core economic system is still retained. Players can get various orbs or their shards during the game.
They not only have their own functions but also have functions similar to gold coins in other games. Players use them to trade gems or equipment, and they are the currency of this game.
For players, the more orbs, the better. However, when you need it, you will find that it is always not enough. So the question is, how can players get these orbs?
In fact, POE 2 has always been criticized for the very rare drop rate of items. This is indeed a good way to extend the game time. But for players, it is really annoying to spend several hours without getting the key orb or skill gem.
So here are some ways to get some orbs (all orbs can be traded between players, so this method is omitted in the following content):
Chaos Orbs
The function of POE 2 Chaos Orbs is to remove a random affix and add a random affix to a rare item.
Chaos Orbs are one of the most common orbs that players come into contact with during the game, and there is also a great demand for them. Fortunately, players have many ways to get them in the game.
The first is to sweep the map. This orb will drop from dead monsters. The easiest way is to go to a place with a high density of monsters and kill them repeatedly. However, this is very dependent on RNG mechanism, and how many Chaos orbs you can get depends on your luck.
In addition, there are some methods that will drop Chaos orbs regularly:
Invade Alva’s temples and kill the mobs in them.
- Search for treasure chests in the mines.
- Fight against the army of ancient warriors.
You can also get Chaos Orbs through Vendor Recipes.
Selling a set of equipment over level 60 to a merchant will give you two Chaos Orbs, while stacking 20 Chaos Shards will give you one Chaos Orb.
Divinations are also a good way to get Chaos Orbs:
- Gather eight Rain of Chaos to get one Chaos Orb
- Own eight The Wrath to get ten Chaos Orbs
- Gather seven Three Faces in the Dark to get three Chaos Orbs
Don’t miss these Divinations as you play. The more you collect, the more Chaos Orbs you can stack in your inventory.
Regal Orbs
Regal Orbs transform a magic item into a rare item (gold). It is an essential item for players to craft good equipment.
Regal Orbs drop from monsters you kill, but the probability is very low. They are more likely to appear from bosses or special enemies.
You can also get a Regal Orb by stacking 10 Regal Shards in your backpack. The bad news is that although they will also drop from enemies, they are also very rare.
There are two ways to get numerous Regal Orbs.
The first way is to return to previous Acts and maps to kill bosses, especially in areas that are not as high as your level. You can click the orange symbol between maps to create new instances. Kill these bosses repeatedly to obtain the best loot. Bosses will drop Regal Orbs or rare items. Anyway, both of them are useful to the player.
The second way is to disassemble rare items. When you disassemble rare items, you can get Regal Orbs. However, you need to find a specific NPC to disassemble them.
Here are their locations:
- Una: Clearfell Encampment in Act 1
- Zark: The Ardura Caravan in Act 2
- Servi: Ziggurat Encampment in Act 3
When you disassemble rare equipment with 6 modifiers, you can get two Regal Orbs.
Exalted Orbs
Exalted Orbs can add an affix to rare items. It can be said that it is the most valuable of the common currencies. However, the drop rate is also surprisingly low.
If you play the campaign in Act 3, you can find some good loot from bosses and special enemies, including Exalted Orbs. However, this is still a random drop based on RNG mechanism. How many Exalted Orbs you get is completely based on luck.
To get more Exalted Orbs, you need to be strong enough. In cruel difficulty, bosses drop a lot more, and some bosses drop a lot of Exalted Orbs. In cruel difficulty, Mawdun Mine area in Act 2 drops a lot of POE 2 Currency. If you are lucky, you can get several Exalted Orbs at once.
Vaal Orbs
Vaal Orbs corrupt items and randomly modify them. Sometimes they can give your items a surprising improvement.
Vaal Orbs are mainly found in Act 3 of Path of Exile 2. Any enemy you fight has a chance to drop them. However, the probability is still very low. It is best to focus your attention on bosses and special enemies.
In addition to random drops, you can go through the jungle and come to Temple of Chaos. In this temple, you can participate in Trials of Chaos, where enemies will drop Vaal Orbs more often. And you can also get sublimation points here.
If you participate in more difficult Trials of Chaos, the probability of enemies dropping Vaal Orbs will increase, and you can also get additional sublimation points.
The above are the ways to obtain several major POE 2 Currency. In addition, players can also use these currencies to make up the difference when exchanging items with other players. This is also a way to obtain currency. Why are these orbs so important? It is because they are the main tool for creating excellent equipment in this game. If you have a lot of currency in the game, then the difficulty of this game will be reduced a lot for you. I hope you can get inspiration from the above information and get the orbs you need.
