Maximizing Chaos Orb Gains: Best League Mechanics & Map Strategies

Top League Mechanics for Chaos Orb Farming

1. Delirium (S-Tier)

   • Strategy: Farm Simulacrum Splinters via Delirium Mirrors or Delirious maps. Use Atlas passives to boost splinter drops and Waystone efficiency.

   • Why: Delirium’s dense mob packs and fractured items generate raw Chaos drops and sellable splinters. Combined with Sextants, this mechanic scales exceptionally well.

2. Expedition (A-Tier)

   • Strategy: Target logbook drops (Tujen and Dannig) by maximizing remnant modifiers. Sell logbooks or run them for direct currency.

   • Why: Logbooks sell for ~0.5 Divine Orbs each (convertible to Chaos), and remnants often drop Chaos Orbs directly. Many players use this mechanic as a reliable source of PoE 2 currency without the need for high investment.

3. Heist (A-Tier)

   • Strategy: Spam Lockpicking Contracts from Whakano. Focus on high-tier contracts for currency chests.

   • Why: Heist chests frequently drop Chaos Orbs and Deception trinkets, which can be sold for profit.

4. Incursion & Legion (B-Tier)

   • Incursion: Alva’s temples offer dense mob packs and architect drops (sellable for Chaos).

   • Legion: Emblem shards and incubators provide consistent Chaos income.

5. Harvest (B-Tier)

   • Strategy: Sell lifeforce or use it to craft high-demand items.

   • Why: Lifeforce trades easily for Chaos, and targeted crafts (e.g., resistance swaps) are profitable.

Optimal Map Strategies

1. Jungle Valley

   • Open layout ideal for Legion, Breach, and Delirium. No boss altars mean faster clears.

2. Crimson Temple

   • Target Apothecary Divination Cards (convertible to Divine/Chaos). Pair with Delirium for stacked rewards.

3. Cemetery

   • Farm Brother’s Gift (5 Divine Orbs) and open layout for Legion/Abyss mechanics.

4. Dunes

   • Wide layout synergizes with Legion and projectile builds. High mob density boosts raw drops.

Key Optimization Tips

• Atlas Passive Tree: Prioritize nodes for your chosen mechanic (e.g., Delirium splinter duplication, Expedition logbook chance). Block unwanted mechanics to force spawns.

• Sextants & Scarabs: Use Delirium, Abyss, or Legion Scarabs with Sextants like "Magic Pack Size" or "Additional Legion."

• Loot Filters: Highlight Chaos Orbs, high-value bases, and Divination Cards.

• Chaos Recipe: Early-game, vendor full unidentified rare sets (ilvl 60–74) for 2 Chaos each.

• Bulk Trading: Convert Divines or Exalts to Chaos via trade sites for better rates. If you’re short on time, many players opt to buy PoE 2 currency for a quicker jumpstart—though always do so safely and responsibly.

Risk vs. Reward Considerations

• Low Risk: Expedition and Harvest offer steady returns with minimal investment.

• High Risk: Delirium and Legion require strong builds but scale with gear/mechanics.

• Avoid: Citadel Hunting (C-Tier) and Ritual (B-Tier) due to inconsistent rewards.

By combining targeted mechanics, optimized maps, and strategic investments, you can reliably farm 50–100+ Chaos Orbs per hour, depending on build efficiency and market conditions.
