Whats the best use for the new orb currencies?

Care to Share?

Namely..

Ancient Orb
Harbinger's Orb
Orb of Annulment
Orb of Horizons
Orb of Binding
Engineer's Orb

thanks! :D

I like to use Orb's of Binding when I'm mid level (35-ish) for an instant 4L rare Helm/Gloves/Boots. I haven't really tested their effectiveness on high level gear.

IDK about best, but I can share how I use and plan to use these. Note: I play SSF.

Ancient Orb
I used one on a "Sorrow of the Divine" flask and got a "Lion's Roar" flask.


Harbinger's Orb
I plan on upgrading all T15s to T16s and am hording these.


Orb of Annulment

This weapon originally had 6 mods. I used an Orb of Annulment on it: thankfully, it didn't remove the sweet mods, but it didn't remove a prefix either, so I tried again. The second one removed something painless, and viola: I crafted a near-perfect +%phys roll and there you go.


Orb of Horizons
Planned to use these on my T16 maps that didn't hit Beachhead map, or whatever. Why? To get diversity.


Orb of Binding
I should be using these somehow, but usually only use them during leveling. *Shrug.*

Engineer's Orb
I use them on Cartographer's boxes & Divination boxes. When you find 'em, if they aren't normal rarity (and don't have good mods rolled on 'em), use an Orb of Scouring. Then use four Engineer's Orbs. Then use an Orb of Alchemy.

I hope that might be useful. Cheers. :)

I used two Orb of Horizons on two Tier 1 maps (Jungle Valley)... got two Beachhead Maps... haven't used another one... figure my RNG was spent right there lol

i thought you could only get beachmap on T4 going T5?

I've been using Ancient Orbs on belts mostly , and the occasional hat / ring / necklace.

Used many Harbinger Orbs turning maps into Harbie maps.

Always carry Engineer Orbs on me for Strongboxes.

What does adding quality to Strongboxes actually -do-?

i.e. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1953074 ?

any news as to what will happen to these new currencies when we merge back with standard?

Ancient orb - roll belt for HH (in Nemezis zana mod map)
Orb of horizons - use instead of Orb of Chaos for maps
Orb of binding - use instead of Orb of Alchemy for maps
Harbinger orb - throw at T13-15 maps to get BEACHHEAD!
