How to Use Orb of Chance in Path of Exile 2

How Orb of Chance Works

Orbs of Chance are a unique crafting currency in Path of Exile 2 that transform a normal (white) item into a magic, rare, or even unique version of the same base type. This mechanic, called "chancing," offers a way to obtain powerful unique items — if you’re lucky.

Here are the core mechanics:

• Use the Orb of Chance on a specific base item that corresponds to the unique you want (e.g. Ornate Belt for Ryslatha’s Coil).

• Only some base types have unique versions — always verify this before chancing.

• Uniques vary in rarity. Common uniques have higher success rates than chase-level ones.

Even if you burn through your Orbs of Chance with no success, don’t worry. Dving can help you farm more currency or get your desired unique item directly.

Where to Get Orbs of Chance

There are multiple ways to acquire Orbs of Chance in PoE 2:

• Random drops while killing monsters.

• Trading with other players.

• Disenchanting unique items at NPCs to create Chance Shards (10 shards = 1 Orb).

This makes it relatively accessible, but farming in bulk still takes time — something our pro team can speed up significantly.

Chancing Success Factors

When chancing for a unique, several variables affect your odds:

• Multiple outcomes: Some bases have more than one unique, and you could get any of them — usually favoring the more common one.

• Item level: Some uniques require the base item to be a specific item level or higher.

• League restrictions: Certain uniques are only available in specific leagues or events.

For example:

• Using a Chance Orb on a Fine Belt gives only a 1.175% chance to get Shavronne’s Satchel.

• Using it on a Recurve Bow gives a 15% chance to hit Splinterheart.

If odds feel too low, consider farming the item directly or let our experts do it for you.

💡 Tip: Even with a 15% chance, remember that every Orb is still a 50/50 gamble — either you hit it, or you don’t.
