Greater Chaos Orb Mechanics
Only usable on Rare items.
Removes one random modifier (prefix or suffix).
Adds a new random modifier from the affix pool, with a minimum level of 35.
The eligible affix pool is determined by the item's base type and item level, filtered by the minimum modifier level.
Cannot be used on items with item level below 35.
Does not affect item level, sockets, base type, or fractured modifiers.
Fractured modifiers are preserved and cannot be removed.
Does not increase the total number of affixes.
Crafting Strategies
Brute Force: Effective on fractured items where key affixes are locked, minimizing randomness during reroll.
Targeted Item Level: The minimum modifier level filters out low-tier affixes, increasing the likelihood of high-impact rolls.
Pre-Crafting Setup: Use Orb of Alchemy or Regal Orb to create a Rare base, then refine with Greater Chaos Orbs.
Combo with Exalted Orbs: Remove undesirable mods with Greater Chaos, then add high-value affixes with Exalted.
Combo with Fracturing Orbs: Lock desirable affixes, then reroll the rest with Greater Chaos Orbs for optimized results.
Synergy with Omens
Greater 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 Greater 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 Greater 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 Greater Chaos Orb will replace all Modifiers on a Waystone
To activate their effects, ensure the relevant Omens are present in your inventory when applying the orb.
Path of Exile 2 Greater Chaos Orb FAQs
How does the Greater Chaos Orb differ from the standard Chaos Orb?
The Greater Chaos Orb performs a targeted single-mod replacement and guarantees the new affix has a minimum modifier level of 35. The standard Chaos Orb performs a full reroll of all six modifiers and provides no minimum level guarantee, often resulting in lower-tier affixes.
Does the Greater Chaos Orb perform a full item reroll?
No. The Greater Chaos Orb is a targeted modification tool. It only removes one random modifier and adds one new random modifier. It does not change the item base, quality, sockets, or reset all affixes.
How does the Greater Chaos Orb interact with Fractured modifiers?
Greater Chaos Orbs preserve Fractured modifiers (locked affixes), ensuring they are not removed. The orb will only target one of the remaining non-fractured affixes for removal and replacement with a new minimum level 35 modifier.
Can I use Omens to choose the modifier type (Prefix/Suffix) that is removed?
Yes. You can use Omens such as Omen of Sinistral Erasure (to restrict removal to a prefix) or Omen of Dextral Erasure (to restrict removal to a suffix) to influence which type of modifier is randomly removed before the new Level 35+ modifier is added.
Is a minimum modifier level of 35 good enough for late-game crafting?
A minimum level 35 is highly beneficial as it successfully filters out all the very low-tier affixes, increasing the probability of a valuable outcome. However, for the absolute highest tiers (like Tier 1), you still need to use it on a high item level base (ilvl 80+) and rely on randomness.
How does the Greater Chaos Orb compare to the Perfect Chaos Orb?
The Greater Chaos Orb (Min Lvl 35) is ideal for high-end crafting. The Perfect Chaos Orb is superior, guaranteeing a minimum modifier level of 50, making it the choice for pinnacle, mirror-tier crafting.
