Path of Exile 2 Greater Orb of Transmutation FAQs
What makes Greater Orb of Transmutation different from the standard Orb of Transmutation?
The Greater Orb of Transmutation guarantees that the added modifier is level 55 or higher, whereas the standard Orb of Transmutation can add any modifier regardless of level. This makes the Greater version far more suitable for mid-to-late game crafting where affix quality matters.
What is the minimum item level required on the base item to use a Greater Orb of Transmutation effectively?
To guarantee that the minimum level 55 modifier can roll, the base item itself should have an item level (ilvl) of 55 or higher. If you use it on an item with a lower ilvl, the Orb's guarantee is technically limited by the item's own maximum affix level.
Does the Greater Orb of Transmutation guarantee a high-tier (Tier 1/T2) affix?
No. While the minimum level 55 requirement filters out low-tier affixes, the modifier is still randomly selected from the entire eligible pool of level 55+ modifiers. It significantly increases the chance of a high roll compared to the standard Orb, but it is not a guarantee.
If I use this Orb on an item, can I get two modifiers immediately?
No. The Greater Orb of Transmutation only adds one random modifier when upgrading the item from Normal to Magic. To obtain a second modifier, you must then use an Orb of Augmentation on the resulting Magic item.
Can I use the Greater Orb of Transmutation to convert a Magic item back to Normal?
No. The Greater Orb of Transmutation can only be used on Normal (white) rarity items. If the item is already Magic (blue), you must use an Orb of Scouring to return it to Normal rarity first.
Does the base item's Quality or existing Sockets affect the use of this Orb?
No. Quality (added via Whetstones or Scraps) and sockets (added via Jeweler's Orbs) do not change the item's rarity. As long as the item is still Normal rarity, these properties do not interfere with the Greater Orb of Transmutation's function.
