The drop rate of Exalted Orbs is pretty low, and it’s almost non-existent until you have reached the endgame. They are extremely useful if you want to improve your loadout with various affixes. You can also trade these valuable resources to other players, and let’s look at how you can farm them consistently.

Best ways to farm Exalted Orbs in Path of Exile 2

You can get an Exalted Orb in Path of Exile 2 by killing enemies, but its drop rate is remarkably low. To improve your odds, you can try clearing the Act bosses while clearing the main content. Still, at the default difficulty, you won’t have much luck.

However, once you clear all three Acts on the default difficulty, you can play on Cruel. The Golden Beetle boss in Act 2‘s The Lost City region used to be a great source of Exalted Orbs, but GGG has nerfed the spawn rate.

Now, you’ll want to look for areas that spawn many mobs and enemies in a small area. Maps with modifiers that raise the spawn rate of the number of enemies at a decent difficulty will also increase the odds in your favor. Make sure to look out for chests and barrels.

You can also get Exalted Orbs by trading on the official website, using your lower-tier currencies based on their demand in the market. Try to gather them when their 🎐market prices are low and use them for trade when their value goes up. Any high-value item specific to the meta builds will usually sell well on the market.

It will be interesting to fin🧸d out when Exalted Shards are added to the game and how many ofಌ those will be required to create an orb. So far, this feature is yet to be added to the early access build, but it will be a great addition in the future.
