Jeweller's Orb

A Jeweller's Orb is a currency item that can be used to re-roll the number of sockets on a weapon or piece of armour. The maximum number of sockets is still limited by the type of equipment and item level.

Vendor recipe
Jeweller's Orb can be obtained from the following vendor recipes:

Jeweller's Orbs can be found from slain enemies and Arcanist's Strongboxes.

Spending
Jeweller's Orbs are primarily used to randomly change the number of sockets an item, subject to the limitations enforced by the item's item level. If an item has some quality, each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. The sockets of an item reforged by a Jeweller's Orb also come with random links and colors. A Jeweller's orb will always roll a different number of sockets then the item had originally, but will not reroll an item with maximum sockets.

In general the exact chances of obtaining a given number of sockets is unknown, but in the case of weapons the following is known:


 * These chances are specifically for weapons.

If one is risk-averse and wants to avoid randomness, one can instead use the Crafting Bench recipe found in Delve mine. Using the Bench to craft sockets overrides the item level socket restrictions (i.e. it is possible to craft 6 sockets on an item level 1 body armour).


 * Two Sockets || 2 || 1x
 * Three Sockets|| 3 || 3x
 * Four Sockets || 4 || 10x
 * Five Sockets || 5 || 70x
 * Six Sockets || 6 || 350x
 * }
 * Five Sockets || 5 || 70x

Yeena will also sell one in exchange for 4 Jeweller's Orbs, or one  in exchange for 3 Jeweller's Orbs.

Version history

 * When you use an Orb of Fusing or a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. The way that quality affects the result has also been changed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the Fusing process 20% easier on 20% quality items, for example.


 * You now can't use an Orb of Fusing on a fully linked item or a Jeweller's Orb on a fully socketed item.


 * Jeweller's Orbs and Orbs of Fusing now describe that they consume quality when used.


 * The Orb of Fusing and Jeweller's Orb now consume all the quality on an item to increase the chances of rolling more sockets/links.


 * Changed Orb of Scouring, Jeweler's Orb, Orb of Fusing to only drop in level 12+ areas because they were too complicated for early players.


 * Repurposed old currency item - Jeweler's Orb: Now rerolls the number of sockets on an item while keeping socket links/colours intact if they still exist.


 * Increased the stack size.


 * Jeweler's Orb is now 60% more common.


 * Increased Jeweler's Orb stack size to 10.
 * Increased relative drop rate of Armour Shards, Orbs of Scouring, Jeweler's Orbs.


 * Added item Jeweler's Orb: rerolls sockets
