Chaos Orb is a versatile currency item in Path of Exile 2 that modifies Rare items by removing one random modifier and replacing it with a new one. Known in the community as "Chaos" or simply "C" (e.g., "10C" for an item priced at 10 Chaos Orbs), it plays a central role in crafting and trading. Its balance of accessibility and power makes it a staple across all stages of gameplay.

Path of Exile 2 Chaos Orb Crafting Synergy & Usage
Chaos Orbs are ideal for refining Rare items with potential but flawed affixes. Their single-mod reroll mechanic allows for targeted improvement without resetting the entire item.
When to Use
Mid-to-late game gear upgrades.
Rerolling one bad affix while preserving good ones.
Preparing items for Exalted Orb investment.
Crafting trade-viable gear with meta-relevant stats.
Chaos Orb Mechanics
Only usable on Rare items.
Removes one random modifier (prefix or suffix).
Adds a new random modifier from the affix pool.
The new modifier is selected from the affix pool appropriate to the item's base type and item level. Higher item levels unlock access to stronger affix tiers.
Does not affect item level, sockets, base type, or other modifiers.
Cannot be used on items with no removable modifiers.
Cannot be used on items with full affix slots if no affix is removed.
Chaos Orbs do not increase the total number of affixes. They only replace one existing modifier with another, maintaining the current affix count.
Crafting Strategies
Brute Force: Apply Chaos Orbs repeatedly until desired affixes appear. This method is highly RNG-dependent and best used on fractured bases or items with one locked affix to reduce variance.
Targeted Item Level: Use on ilvl 82+ items to access top-tier affix pools. Chaos Orbs respect item level constraints when selecting replacement modifiers. Using them on high-ilvl bases increases the chance of rolling powerful affixes.
Pre-Crafting Setup: Use Orb of Alchemy or Regal Orb to create Rare base, then refine with Chaos Orbs.
Combo with Exalted Orbs: Remove unwanted mods with Chaos, then add high-value affixes with Exalted. This combo is most effective when the item has a fractured affix, allowing Chaos Orbs to reroll only the opposite affix type.
Combo with Fracturing Orbs: Advanced crafters often use Chaos Orbs in tandem with Fracturing Orbs to lock one desirable modifier, then reroll the rest until optimal combinations are achieved.
Synergy with Omens
Chaos Orbs pair well with Omens to control the reroll outcome:
Omen of Whittling: Removes the lowest-level modifier.
Omen of Sinistral Erasure: Restricts removal to prefixes only.
Omen of Dextral Erasure: Restricts removal to suffixes only.
Omen of Chaotic Rarity: While this item is active in your inventory your next Chaos Orb will replace all Modifiers on a Waystone with Modifiers that grant Item Rarity
Omen of Chaotic Quantity: While this item is active in your inventory your next Chaos Orb will replace all Modifiers on a Waystone with Modifiers that grant Pack Size
Omen of Chaotic Monsters: While this item is active in your inventory your next Chaos Orb will replace all Modifiers on a Waystone
with Modifiers that grant Rare and Magic Monsters
Keep these Omens in your inventory when applying Chaos Orbs to activate their effects.
Path of Exile 2 Chaos Orb Orb FAQs
How is the Path of Exile 2 Chaos Orb different from the Path of Exile 1 Chaos Orb?
In Path of Exile 2, the Chaos Orb does not perform a full reroll of the item. It performs a single-mod replacement, randomly removing one existing modifier and adding a new random modifier in its place, maintaining the item's current affix count.
Does the Chaos Orb guarantee a high-tier modifier?
No. Unlike the Greater Chaos Orb (Min Lvl 35) or Perfect Chaos Orb (Min Lvl 50), the standard Chaos Orb has no minimum level guarantee for the added modifier. The new modifier is selected purely randomly from the affix pool available to the item's current item level.
What happens if I use a Chaos Orb on an item with a fractured modifier?
Fractured modifiers are locked and cannot be removed. The Chaos Orb will target one of the remaining non-fractured affixes for removal and replacement. This makes Chaos Orbs highly valuable for refining fractured bases.
Can Omens be used to control which modifier type (Prefix or Suffix) is affected?
Yes. By having an Omen like Omen of Sinistral Erasure (prefix-only removal) or Omen of Dextral Erasure (suffix-only removal) in your inventory, you can restrict which type of modifier the Chaos Orb removes, providing a degree of deterministic control.
Why are Chaos Orbs still the main trading currency if Divine Orbs exist?
Chaos Orbs are highly accessible and drop more frequently than Divine Orbs, making them the most liquid and stable unit of account for the majority of mid-to-high-value trades. Divine Orbs are typically reserved for the highest-tier, rarest gear.
Is there any benefit to using Chaos Orbs over Greater or Perfect Chaos Orbs?
The primary benefit is cost and liquidity. Chaos Orbs are far more available and cheaper. While they offer less certainty than their high-tier counterparts, they are efficient for refining large quantities of items or when the lowest possible tier of a modifier is still acceptable.
