Jeweller's Orbs: What are Jeweller's Orbs in Path of Exile 2?

A Jeweller’s Orb in Path of Exile 2 ^[1] is a crafting currency item that players can use to re-roll the number of sockets on a weapon or a piece of armor. The amount of sockets a piece of equipment can get depends on the item’s type and level. For example, lower-level items can get a lower number of sockets. Jeweller’s Orbs don’t affect socket links or colors, only the number of sockets.

Jeweller’s Orbs are an essential part of making builds since players need to ensure their equipment has enough sockets for whatever they want to do. Thanks to this, many players like to purchase a large number of them from POE2 currency marketplaces.

These orbs are easy to find since players can get them through monster drops, vendor recipes, trading, and more. If a player wants to use the Jeweller’s Orb without risk, they can use the Crafting Bench recipe to create the maximum number of sockets, although it will cost more.

What is the maximum number of sockets a player can make using Jeweller’s Orbs?

The maximum number of sockets a player can make using Jeweller Orbs depends on the type of equipment that the item is used on. Smaller items like one-handed weapons or shields can get a maximum of three sockets. Bigger items like gloves, helmets, and boots max out at four sockets. Large items like two-handed weapons and body armor can have six sockets at the most.

To increase the chances of getting more sockets, the player must ensure that the Jeweller’s Orb is of higher quality. A higher quality means a better chance of getting multiple sockets.
