A Chaos Orb is a currency item that can be used to re-roll the random modifiers on a piece of rare equipment.

Obtaining

Chaos Orbs are uncommon currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes.

Vendor recipes

They can be obtained by the following 'full rare set' vendor recipes:

Result Level of lowest-level item
1× Chaos Orb 60 to 74
2× Chaos Orb 60 to 74, all unidentified OR all 20% quality
3× Chaos Orb 60 to 74, all unidentified AND all 20% quality

Divination cards

They can also be obtained by exchanging these sets of divination cards:

Card Chaos Orb Quantity Cards Required for Set
Chaotic Disposition 5 1
Emperor's Luck1 5 5
Rain of Chaos 1 8
Three Faces in the Dark 3 7
The Wrath 10 8

1: Not guaranteed (set grants 5 of any random currency)

Spending

Chaos Orbs are useful in crafting, as they reroll all modifiers (and the number of modifiers) on a rare item. This makes for unpredictable results, so getting a specific modifier is not easy. Using multiple Chaos Orbs on a piece of equipment in the hopes of getting at least a few good modifiers is called 'Chaos spamming'.

These orbs also play an important role in trading. They are the "silver standard" in the player-driven economy and are often used to buy low to mid tier items.
