Posted - 06/27/2025 : 23:14:46 Never thought I'd drop a Divine on Day 2—but I did! It was one of the most exciting moments I've had in Path of Exile 2 so far. I had just finished clearing a decently rolled Tier 5 map, running a basic loot filter, and then boom—there it was, glowing like a tiny beacon of wealth: a Divine Orb. For those new to PoE 2, Divine Orbs are one of the most valuable types of PoE 2 currency, and finding one that early in a league is a huge win.
Let me walk you through exactly how I made it happen and how you can increase your chances of getting valuable PoE 2 currency like Divine Orbs, Chaos Orbs, and Exalted Orbs early in the league. This isn’t just luck—there’s strategy behind it.
1. Start With Efficient Farming Zones On Day 1, I prioritized completing the campaign quickly while gathering decent gear. Once I hit maps, I didn’t go straight into high-tier content. Instead, I focused on Tier 1–5 maps, especially ones with good layouts like Strand, Dunes, and Cemetery. These maps are easy to run fast, and they’re great for farming PoE 2 currency consistently. Even if you don't drop a Divine Orb every run, you're likely to collect stacks of Chaos Orbs and useful rare items for trading.
2. Master the Loot Filter Don’t underestimate the power of a good loot filter. I used a custom filter that highlighted all mid-tier currencies clearly while muting useless junk. This helped me focus on picking up what matters—things like Orbs of Alchemy, Chaos Orbs, and of course, Divine Orbs. It also prevented me from wasting time checking every drop manually.
3. Leverage Expedition Early One of the most overlooked mechanics early on is Expedition. I found several early Expeditions in low-tier maps, and they dropped a surprising amount of currency. If you know how to position the explosives correctly and prioritize Runed Artifacts, you can stack up currency fragments that trade well or turn into valuable orbs. Expedition vendors also offer great deals if you know what you're looking for.
4. Sell Smarter, Not Harder Instead of selling gear immediately to vendors, I listed decent rares with high resistances or life rolls on trade sites. You'd be surprised how often someone will offer PoE 2 currency for just a good leveling helmet or ring. One of my early trades brought in 20 Chaos Orbs, which I reinvested into map fragments and scarabs to improve my farming rate.
5. Buy PoE 2 Currency When Stuck Let’s be real—sometimes your luck just doesn't hit. When I was stuck on upgrading gear before progressing into yellow maps, I chose to buy PoE 2 currency from u4gm. It was a one-time small investment, but it helped me get the items I needed to scale my build quickly. Having just a few extra Chaos Orbs or a Divine in your stash can completely change how fast you progress.
6. Watch for Hot Currency Currently, the meta-favored currencies include Divine Orbs, Chaos Orbs, and Awakener’s Orbs. I recommend stacking Chaos Orbs early and converting them to Divines through trade when market prices shift. Always keep an eye on the in-game economy—prices fluctuate, and knowing when to trade up is key.
Final Tips Run maps with increased monster density mods.
Use Sextants to roll strong Atlas passives.
Prioritize currency-based league mechanics like Ritual and Expedition.
Store and manage your currency wisely—don't waste valuable orbs early.
Day 2 Divine drops might be rare, but with the right tactics and a little bit of grind, they’re absolutely possible. So if you’re just starting out in PoE 2, remember: focus on efficient farming, optimize your loot filter, and don’t be afraid to buy PoE 2 currency if it helps you progress faster. That one Divine drop might be closer than you think.
