If you play Path of Exile 2, you know how exciting it is to craft your own powerful gear. One of the best tools for crafting in the game is the Exalted Orb. This shiny and rare PoE 2 currency can add new random modifiers to your rare items, making them stronger and more valuable. But many players don’t use it wisely, wasting its power on bad rolls. Let’s look at some simple and smart ways to use Exalted Orbs to make your items amazing!

1. Crafting Powerful Rare Gear

Exalted Orbs are often used to add a new affix (a modifier) to rare items. Before using one, make sure your gear already has good stats, such as high life or resistances. For example, if you have a rare helmet with three strong mods but one empty slot, using an Exalted Orb can give you that extra magic touch—maybe more damage, more defense, or even faster movement.
A good trick is to use Regal Orbs and Chaos Orbs first to get a nice base item, then finish it off with an Exalted Orb. This way, you don’t waste valuable PoE 2 currency on weak bases.

2. Master Crafting Combo

If you’ve unlocked the crafting bench from your hideout, you can use Exalted Orbs together with bench crafts to make gear that feels almost “unique.”
Here’s a quick combo that works well:

• Use a Perfect Fossil to improve item quality first.
• Roll with Chaos Orbs until you get 3–4 great mods.
• Then use your Exalted Orb to add one more random affix.
• Finally, use the crafting bench to add your favorite mod—like increased life or critical strike chance.
  This gives you more control and saves you from random bad rolls.

3. Crafting High-Value Trading Items

Many players make profit by crafting items and selling them for more PoE 2 currency. Exalted Orbs are perfect for this. For example, crafting rings or amulets with desirable mods like “+to All Attributes” or “Increased Elemental Damage” can sell fast to other players. If you plan to trade often, consider saving up and using your Exalted Orbs on popular base items. When done right, you can double or even triple your earnings!

4. When to Use Exalted Orbs

Don’t use Exalted Orbs randomly. Save them for items that already have great potential. If you’re still in early levels, focus on learning how crafting works using cheaper orbs like Alchemy Orbs or Chaos Orbs. Once you reach endgame and need that perfect weapon or armor, that’s when Exalted Orbs truly shine.

5. Getting More Exalted Orbs

Farming Exalted Orbs can take a long time since they are rare. Many players choose to buy PoE 2 currency from trusted marketplaces to save time and focus on playing. Sites like u4gm are known among players for helping them safely get the PoE 2 currency they need to upgrade and craft faster.

• Always check the item’s prefixes and suffixes before using an Exalted Orb.
• Combine Divine Orbs, Exalted Orbs, and Regal Orbs for maximum effect.
• Keep extra orbs for the late game—crafting gets much more exciting there!

With these simple but useful tricks, you’ll know how to make the most out of your Exalted Orbs. Whether you farm them or buy PoE 2 currency to get more, smart crafting can turn ordinary gear into legendary treasures!
