The Regal Orb is a valuable currency item in Path of Exile 2 used to upgrade Magic (blue) items into Rare (yellow) items by adding a new random modifier while preserving existing affixes. Beyond farming drops, one of the efficient ways to acquire Regal Orbs is through vendor recipes, which involve trading specific sets of Rare items to NPC vendors. Items like the
Fulgent Bloom Emerald can sometimes complement your builds when you're focusing on rare gear optimization.
Regal Orb Vendor Recipes
There are two primary vendor recipes to obtain Regal Orbs:
1. Three Identified Rare Items with the Same Base Name and 20% Quality
By selling three identified Rare items that share the exact same base type and each have at least 20% quality, you receive one Regal Orb in return. This recipe works best with weapons or armor, but it notably does not work with rings, as rings tend to yield different currency (such as Alchemy Orbs) when used in this recipe.
2. Full Set of Rare Items with Item Levels Between 75 and 100
Selling a full set of Rare items—covering all equipment slots such as helmet, body armor, gloves, boots, belt, amulet, two rings, and two weapons—with item levels between 75 and 100 grants Regal Orbs. If the items are all unidentified and have 20% quality, you can receive multiple Regal Orbs (two or three depending on the exact conditions). This recipe is especially useful for players who farm or trade for high-level gear and want to convert it efficiently into currency.
Tips for Using Vendor Recipes
Quality Matters: All items involved in the recipe must have at least 20% quality to qualify for Regal Orb returns.
Item Level Range: Items must be within item level 75 to 100 to be accepted for the full set recipe.
Avoid Rings for the Three-Item Recipe: The three identical item recipe does not work with rings and will yield other orbs instead.
Unidentified vs. Identified: Unidentified full sets with 20% quality can yield more Regal Orbs than identified ones, so consider saving unidentified gear for this purpose.
Farming and Preparing Items for Vendor Recipes
To maximize your Regal Orb gains through vendor recipes, focus on farming:
High-Level Maps and Bosses: These areas drop higher item level Rare gear suitable for vendor recipes.
Dense Monster Packs and Elite Encounters: Increased loot quantity and rarity in these zones improve your chances of finding quality rares.
Disenchanting Unwanted Rares: Salvage or disenchant rares you don’t need to gather materials or shards that can be combined into Regal Orbs.
The Regal Orb plays a central role in crafting strategy, especially when paired with efficient currency farming. Investing time into compiling quality sets—and supplementing your builds with synergistic items like the Fulgent Bloom Emerald—can lead to a more optimized crafting experience and faster progression through Wraeclast’s most dangerous content.
