Path of Exile Ancient Orb Wiki & Tips

What is Ancient Orb in PoE?

The Ancient Orb is a currency item in Path of Exile (PoE). It can be used to reforge a unique item as another unique item of the same item class. Unlike the Orb of Chance, which is influenced by the item's level, the Ancient Orb appears to be independent of the item level when rolling into a new unique item. It can be useful for players who want to try their luck and potentially obtain a different unique item.


How To Use Ancient Orb in Path Of Exile?

In Path of Exile, Ancient Orbs have the unique ability to reforge a unique item into another unique item of the same item class. This means you can use an Ancient Orb to potentially transform a unique item into a different one within the same category. It can be a fun and unpredictable way to obtain new unique items and explore different build possibilities. Keep in mind that Ancient Orbs do not change the inventory size of an item and they consider the item's item level when used. So if you have a specific unique item in mind that you want to obtain, you can try using Ancient Orbs to reforge it and see what you get. However, it's important to note that the outcome is randomized, so it's a matter of luck and chance.

Here are some specific things you can do with Ancient Orbs:

  • Try to get a specific unique item that is difficult to obtain.

  • Try to get a unique item with better rolls.

  • Gamble on getting a valuable unique item.

  • Use them as PoE currency to trade with other players.

PoE Ancient Orb Best Use

The best use for Ancient Orbs depends on your individual goals and playstyle. If you are a casual player who is not looking to min-max your character, then you can probably just use them as Path of Exile currency to trade with other players. However, if you are a more serious player who is trying to get the best possible gear, then you may want to try using them to get specific unique items or to gamble on getting a valuable item.


How To Farm Ancient Orb in Path Of Exile?

Ancient Orbs are a rare currency item in Path of Exile that can be used to transform a normal item into a random unique item of the same base type. They are acquired by combining 10 Harbinger Orb Shards, which are a drop from Harbinger enemies.

Here are some ways to farm Ancient Orbs in Path of Exile:

  • Run Harbinger-infested maps - This is the most reliable way to farm Ancient Orbs, as Harbinger enemies are guaranteed to drop Harbinger Orb Shards. You can find Harbinger-infested maps by using the Harbinger Scarab or by running maps in the Valdo's Rest region.

  • Complete Harbinger Challenges - There are a number of Harbinger Challenges that reward Ancient Orbs as a completion reward. These challenges can be found in the Challenges tab of the game menu.

  • Trade for Ancient Orbs - If you don't want to farm Ancient Orbs yourself, you can always trade for them with other players. Ancient Orbs are a valuable currency item, so you can expect to pay a premium for them.

Here are some tips for farming Ancient Orbs:

  • Use a Harbinger-focused build - There are a number of builds that are well-suited for farming Harbinger enemies. These builds typically focus on clearing maps quickly and efficiently, while also dealing high damage to Harbinger enemies.

  • Use Harbinger scarabs - Harbinger scarabs can be used to increase the number of Harbinger enemies that spawn in a map. This can significantly increase your chances of getting Harbinger Orb Shards.

  • Run high-level maps - The higher the level of the map, the more likely you are to get Harbinger Orb Shards as a drop.

  • Be patient - Farming Ancient Orbs can be a slow and tedious process. Don't expect to get rich quick by farming them.
