In Path of Exile 2, every piece of currency matters. If you're like me when I first started playing, you probably vendored hundreds of items without realizing you were throwing away valuable Regal Orb potential. Learning how Regal Recipes work changed the way I play the game—and how I manage my PoE 2 currency economy. If you’re struggling to make the most of your loot, or you feel like you’re constantly broke in Wraeclast, this guide is for you.

The Regal Orb recipe is simple in theory but easily overlooked. If you vendor a full set of rare items (one of each equipment slot) where each item is item level 75 or higher, you'll receive a Regal Orb instead of an Alchemy Shard or Chaos Orb. The trick is making sure you gather and sort full rare sets based on item level. That means checking item levels before you hit the sell button. I used to dump every yellow item into the vendor window, thinking I was clearing my stash efficiently—when I was actually scamming myself out of dozens of Regal Orbs.

This matters because Regal Orbs are more than just mid-tier currency. They're used in several high-value crafting recipes and, importantly, they convert directly into profit if you're trying to buy PoE 2 currency. On trading websites or player markets, Regal Orbs often go for a decent price, especially early in the league. Smart players stack these up to trade for more premium currency like Divine Orbs or Exalted Orbs.

Now, let’s talk practicality. If you’re farming maps efficiently, especially in high-tier zones (T10+), you’ll start seeing ilvl 75+ rares consistently. Instead of picking up every rare, filter for those that complete your set: helmet, gloves, boots, belt, amulet, rings, weapon, shield, and body armor. Use a stash tab or inventory row to organize these into full sets. Once a set is complete, you sell it all at once for a guaranteed Regal Orb.

Here’s where it gets even better. If you're using loot filters like NeverSink’s, you can customize your filter to highlight rares above item level 75 to make it even easier. This small change massively increases your return on farming runs. You're not just collecting junk anymore—you’re running a currency factory.

If you're low on time or just want to shortcut your gearing and crafting, it’s also smart to buy PoE 2 currency from reliable sites. Personally, I use U4GM when I need to grab a few extra Divine Orbs before a boss fight or upgrade my gear without grinding for hours. It’s fast, safe, and lets me focus on what I enjoy: playing the game, not flipping loot tabs.

For newer players: Regal Orbs can also be upgraded into Exalted Orbs using the Regal->Exalt upgrade meta-craft, which is still very much relevant in PoE 2. That means every orb you lose by careless vending is one step further from that juicy six-link armor or mirrored item.

So here’s what I wish I knew earlier: take your time, build full rare sets, check item levels, and stop scamming yourself at the vendor screen. Learning this recipe doesn’t just improve your PoE 2 currency flow—it teaches you how to think like a long-term player. Whether you’re farming, crafting, or preparing for the next league start, Regal Orbs are a resource you can’t afford to ignore.
