PoE Ancient Orb is a Stackable Currency item. The drop level is 1 and comes from the Harbinger League. It reforges a unique item as another of the same item class:
Path of Exile Ancient Orb can be used to reforge a unique item as another of the same item class in the broader sense of the term, such as “flask” instead of life/mana/hybrid/utility flask.

Reforging a unique item means the base item type can change when the orb is applied. Ancient Orbs do not change the inventory size of an item, so 2×4-sized “tower shields” for example stay within that group.

You can also use other unique belts crafting PoE Headhunter as well.
Notably, unique items specific to past temporary leagues, such as PoE Headhunter can be obtained with an
Ancient Orb only while standing in a map to which the appropriate league’s mod has been added with Zana’s Map Device.
Headhunter come from Nemesis League. In order to craft this best unique belt, you must go to a map with “Nemesis” mods. You can get these maps by adding with Zana’s Map Device or buying these maps from other players.
According to player video, it is uncertain the result of using the orb is restricted by the item level of the original item or not.
These orbs and shards only dropped in the Harbinger leagues. They are currently only obtainable through Zana’s map device.
