How to Get Regal Orbs in PoE2

Updated 21 Oct 2026 Source Path of Exile 2 in-game mechanics and community documentation, retrieved 21 October 2026 By

Regal Orbs upgrade a normal (white) item to rare, adding mods. They are a common early crafting currency.

Why this matters

Regals let you craft rares from good bases as you level and gear up.

Step-by-step

  1. Pick up Regal Orbs from drops and vendors.
  2. Find a good base item with useful implicit stats.
  3. Use a Regal Orb to make it rare.
  4. Add more mods with other crafting currency.
  5. Use them on bases worth keeping.
  6. Vendor unwanted rares to recycle currency.

Key tips

  • Use Regals on good bases
  • Check implicit stats first
  • Save for gear you will keep
  • Recycle unwanted rares

Common mistakes

  • Wasting Regals on junk bases
  • Ignoring implicit stats
  • Using them on gear you will replace

Practical notes

Regal Orbs drop from maps and strongboxes, so farm quantity maps and open boxes you can handle. Use a filter that highlights them among currency. Sell unneeded drops for regals when farming is slow.

They are common enough that a steady map loop accumulates them. Prioritize pack-size and box modifiers for the best return. A consistent mapping routine supplies regals without dedicated farming.

Farm quantity maps and open strongboxes, and sell unneeded drops for regals when farming them directly is slower than trading.

Farm quantity maps and open strongboxes for regals, and sell unneeded drops for them when farming directly is slower than a quick trade.
