In Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), the Regal Orb is a crafting item used to upgrade magic (blue) items into rare (yellow) items. This is an absolutely crucial step for crafting powerful rare gear, especially when you already have desirable modifiers on a magic item.
Here’s a guide to understanding, getting, and using Regal Orbs.
What Is a Regal Orb?
What it does: Upgrades a magic (blue) item to a rare (yellow) item, adding one additional random modifier.
Why it’s useful: It allows you to transition from magic to rare items while keeping existing modifiers and adding a new one.
For example:
A magic wand with increased spell damage could become a rare wand with spell damage, critical strike chance, and cast speed.
A magic ring with elemental resistances might gain extra life or mana regeneration.
How to Get Regal Orbs
1. Drops from Monsters
Regal Orbs can drop as loot from enemies, chests, and destructible objects.
2. Vendor Recipes
You can obtain Regal Orbs by selling specific items to vendors. For example:
Sell a full set of identified rare (yellow) items with an item level of 75 or higher.
3. Trade
Regal Orbs are a somewhat common currency item used in player-to-player trading. If you need more, you can trade for them.
How to Use a Regal Orb
Using a Regal Orb is simple:
Right-click the Regal Orb in your inventory.
Left-click on the magic (blue) item you want to upgrade.
The item will become rare (yellow) and gain one random new modifier.
When to Use Regal Orbs
Crafting Rare Items
Use Regal Orbs when you have a well-rolled magic item and want to turn it into a rare item.
This is especially useful for items with base stats or sockets that fit your build.
Preparing for Endgame
Regal Orbs are often used on high-level magic items as part of crafting rare gear for endgame challenges.
Tips for Using Regal Orbs
Start with Good Magic Items: Use Regal Orbs on magic items that already have strong modifiers or are part of your crafting plan.
Combine with Other Orbs: After upgrading an item with a Regal Orb, you can use other orbs like Chaos Orbs or Exalted Orbs to further enhance the rare item.
Save for Key Gear: Don’t waste Regal Orbs on low-level or temporary items. Save them for gear that will impact your build in the long run.
