While unpredictable, its potential to yield powerful Unique items makes it a valuable tool for crafting and trading in PoE2's dynamic economy.

Path of Exile 2 Orb of Chance Crafting Synergy & Usage
Orb of Chance is only as good as the base you choose—know your targets, or risk your loot.
When to Use
Use Orb of Chance early in the campaign only on item bases with confirmed Unique outcomes—avoid wasting orbs on bases with no Unique variants.
During league start, prioritize chancing high-demand bases like Heavy Belts or Gold Amulets to secure early build-defining Uniques.
For targeted crafting, confirm the base type has a Unique tied to it and is not restrict behind boss drops or league-specific mechanics.
Crafting for Self-Use
Use Orb of Chance on normal items with base types linked to valuable Uniques
Item level does not affect the chance of success, but some Uniques require a minimum ilvl to be eligible—check ilvl thresholds before chancing.
Mass chancing works best on bases with multiple Unique outcomes, but be aware that common Uniques have higher drop weights and may dilute your odds.
High-Value Use Cases
Unique Hunting — Focus on global-drop bases only; Orb of Chance cannot produce boss-exclusive Uniques.
League Start Optimization — Target Uniques that align with current meta builds for maximum early impact.
Meta-Shift Crafting — Monitor patch notes and trade trends to identify which Uniques are gaining value.
Synergy with Omens
Orb of Chance synergizes with Omens to reduce risk and improve outcomes:
