How to Get More PoE Exalted Orbs for Beginners

For new Path of Exile players, the Exalted Orb represents the pinnacle of currency achievement – an essential component for high-end crafting and trading. This comprehensive guide breaks down proven methods to accumulate wealth systematically, whether you’re starting with minimal resources or have already built a substantial currency pool. The strategies presented here are field-tested approaches that can help you progress comfortably through the game’s economy.

While countless advanced currency farming techniques exist beyond what’s covered here, these methods provide a solid foundation for sustainable wealth building. Each strategy includes specific implementation details and risk considerations to help you make informed decisions about where to invest your time and resources.

FOR THE POVERTY-STRICKEN (20 Chaos Orb – 10 exalts)

 1. Strategic Divination Card Flipping

This approach capitalizes on market inefficiencies where complete divination card sets consistently trade below the value of the resulting PoE Items. Since cards exist across all price ranges, this method remains accessible regardless of your current financial situation. Key considerations for optimal execution:

-Requires significant time investment – evaluate whether direct farming might yield better returns for your playtime.

-Target cards producing unique items – higher stat rolls typically translate to increased profit margins.

-Prioritize low-stack requirements – completing three “Samurai’s Eyes” proves far more time-efficient than gathering twelve “The Queens” cards.

​

 2. Basic Currency Arbitrage

Currency flipping remains viable regardless of budget constraints, though I recommend starting with at least 100 chaos for meaningful returns. While individual profit margins appear slim, scalability ensures increased profitability as your capital grows. Consider this chromatic orb example:

-Place single chaos in premium tab priced at 700/100 [Chromatic Orb] for purchasing.

-List single chromatic orb in premium tab priced at 100/600 [Chaos Orb] for selling.

-Net gain: 100 Chromatic Orbs per completed transaction cycle.

​

 3. Vendor Recipe Exploitation

Nessa in Act 1 provides Orb of Alteration for 4 Orb of Augmentation exchanges. Market rates typically value alteration orbs at 4:1 chaos ratio, suggesting augmentation orbs should trade around 16:1. However, trade website examination reveals augmentation orbs demand at least 25:1 for chaos purchases. This discrepancy creates profitable arbitrage opportunities:

-Position single chaos in premium tab with 25/1 [Orb of Augmentation] pricing for acquisition.

-Convert purchased augmentation orbs to alteration orbs through Nessa.

-Offer single alteration orb in premium tab with 1/4 [Chaos Orb] pricing for disposition.

-Approximate profit: ~9 augmentation orbs, equivalent to 2 alteration orbs or 0.5 chaos per transaction.

Naturally, minimal individual transaction profits make bulk operations essential. Configure purchase orders at 1250/50 or 3500/100, with sales orders at 100/400 or 100/410~420 for accelerated turnover. Alteration orbs maintain consistent demand, ensuring rapid sales completion. This approach reliably generates dozens of chaos orbs with minimal time commitment.

FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS (10-30 exalts)

 1. Aspect of the Cat Crafting System

Acquire base items from marketplace, apply Aspect of the Cat using “Farrul, First of the Plains” beastcrafting, then resell for profit. My experience focused primarily on ring crafting using this methodology. Market pricing fluctuates daily:

-Configure item search: Ring type, Curse Enemies with Level # Assassin’s Mark on Hit, Minimum 5 Empty Modifiers.

-Acquisition cost: Level 8 Assassin’s Mark ~1 exalt, Level 12 ~2 exalts.

-Purchase Farrul, First of the Plains for approximately 60 chaos, proceed to bestiary for Aspect of the Cat application.

-Resale value: 3-4 exalts, dependent on Assassin’s Mark level quality.

Recommended foundation types include Two-Stone, Diamond, and Unset Rings. Prepare multiple items for market availability. Target rings featuring “high life + resistance combinations, additional beneficial modifiers, +1 Empty Prefix” for enhanced crafting and superior profit generation.

​

 2. Enchanted Helmet Crafting with Deafening Essence of Greed

Deafening Essence of Greed provides guaranteed +100 maximum life modifiers, delivering substantial power increases. Essence crafting proves significantly more economical than fossil alternatives, reducing financial exposure. However, this method cannot produce premium modifiers like “+9 increased physical damage,” limiting maximum sale prices regardless of secondary stat quality.

Generally, target at minimum tier 2 resistance rolls during crafting processes, ensuring available prefix + suffix slots for +1 Range and Aspect of the Cat enhancements.

Base type selection for helmets proves critically important. When crafting Cyclone-enchanted helmets, source bases using these search parameters:

-40% Increased Cyclone Damage / Any Non-Unique / Minimum Strength 1 / Not Corrupted / Not Mirrored / Maximum Price 6-7 Exalts / Activate Live Search functionality.

-15% Increased Cyclone Attack Speed / Any Non-Unique / Minimum Strength 1 / Not Corrupted / Not Mirrored / Maximum Price 8-9 Exalts / Enable Live Search capabilities.

Avoid bases requiring 70+ intelligence attributes. These items experience extended sales timelines. Occasionally, premium base types list below 3 exalts – acquire these opportunities and resell as-is for 3-4 exalt profits.

FOR THE WELL-OFF (30+ exalts)

 Enchanted Cyclone Helmets + Pristine/Jagged Fossil Crafting

Attempting this approach with only 10 exalts carries substantial risk. The recommended 30+ exalt starting capital addresses fossil crafting’s extreme RNG dependency, where rapid currency depletion without satisfactory outcomes occurs frequently. With 30 exalts allocation: invest 10 exalts in fossils and resonators, 15 exalts in minimum three quality helmet bases using previously mentioned search criteria, retaining 5 exalts as emergency reserve funding.

Purchase fossils and resonators in 100-unit quantities for efficiency optimization. On initial helmet, continue crafting until achieving “mediocre but acceptable” results. Proceed to second helmet – if similar quality emerges, advance to third helmet seeking comparable outcome. Only upon securing three satisfactory items should you return to earlier pieces pursuing superior results.

Given RNG’s dominant influence, creating and selling acceptable items to maintain financial stability proves crucial. Significant profits materialize intermittently when exceptional items emerge. Maintain flexible standards – liquidate viable products promptly to avoid complete currency exhaustion within brief periods.

Fossil crafting’s primary challenge involves substantial net worth concentration in crafting materials and unfinished products. Prioritize rapid, discounted sales to accelerate currency recycling into subsequent crafting batches. Expect minimal liquid currency availability throughout this process.

When achieving these specifications, cease crafting and initiate sales. These represent minimum requirements for marketable fossil-crafted Cyclone helmets:

-+9% physical damage modifier

-90+ maximum life attribute

-Available prefix slot – Apply +1 Range craft

Ideal crafting outcomes resemble these specifications, though such results remain exceptionally rare:

-+9% physical damage enhancement

-110+ maximum life value

-+2-3% maximum life percentage bonus

->40 intelligence requirement or tier 1 resistance

-Empty prefix availability – Craft +1 Range modification

-Available suffix slot – Apply Aspect of the Cat enhancement
