There are several ways to get Chaos Orbs in Path of Exile (POE). Here are some methods, from beginner-friendly to more advanced:
Vendor Recipes:
Chaos Recipe: This is a great option for new players. Collect a complete set of unidentified rare items (armor, weapons, jewelry, belt) above level 60. Selling this set to a vendor guarantees 2 Chaos Orbs. You can find detailed guides on what qualifies for the recipe online.
Currency Farming:
Efficient Map Clearing: Run maps quickly and efficiently, focusing on killing monsters and completing objectives. Many maps drop Chaos Orbs directly, and higher-tier maps have a higher chance.
Targeted Farming: Certain zones in the campaign or lower-tier maps might be good for farming specific currency items like Orbs of Alteration or Alchemy Orbs. These can be traded with other players for Chaos Orbs.
Item Acquisition and Trading:
Item Flipping: Buy items with good stats or potential for low prices and sell them for higher profits. This requires knowledge of the market and valuable item properties.
Crafting and Selling Items: Use crafting mechanics to create powerful or desirable rare items and sell them for Chaos Orbs.
Other Methods:
Divination Cards: Some divination cards guarantee Chaos Orbs when turned in. These cards can be found as drops or through specific gameplay mechanics.
Leagues and Events: Certain leagues or events might have increased Chaos Orb drop rates or offer unique ways to acquire them.
Here are some additional tips:
Use a loot filter: This helps filter out unwanted items and lets you focus on potentially valuable ones.
Prioritize gear upgrades: Only sell items you don’t need for your build. Well-rolled rares can fetch a good price.
Trade with other players: The official trade website or community tools can help you exchange items for Chaos Orbs.
Remember, the best method depends on your experience, playstyle, and character build. Experiment and find what works best for you!
