The Exalted Orb in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) can be farmed by clearing highly populated areas and getting Local Knowledge from the Atlas Tree. See how to farm the Exalted Orb, how to get it, and an overview of the item.

How to Farm Exalted Orbs

Clear Highly Populated Areas

Since Exalted Orbs are a type of Currency that drops randomly from enemies, it is best to farm areas with a high number of enemies. Be sure to use a build that can handle multiple targets at once to speed things up.

Drop rates improve with higher levels so using Tier 16 Waystones for Breach or Delirium Maps an effective way of farming Exalted Orbs.

Upgrade the Atlas Tree

Unlocking nodes on the Atlas Tree will make farming maps much more efficient. Some Atlas Tree passives will have effects such as improving drop rates or increasing monster density.

One noteworthy Atlas Tree passive is Local Knowledge as it adjusts drop rates according to the type of biome you are in. Currency items such as Exalted Orbs are more likely to drop in Grass Biomes when Local Knowledge is unlocked.
