In Path of Exile, players can use a variety of functional currency items such as orbs and scrolls. These items perform different functions and can enhance or upgrade an item to a higher quality.

Basic currencies can be easily obtained from enemies and vendoring. Valuable currencies drop less frequently and are used by high level players in end game crafting.

Orbs of Corruptions

Vaal Orbs are currency items that corrupt an item, modifying it with unpredictable but potentially powerful effects. Once an item is corrupted, it cannot be further modified with any other currency, including changing sockets and links at a crafting bench.

They can be obtained in a variety of ways, including from the Vaal side area bosses, which drop them at a very high rate. They can also be traded between players for a significant amount of other currencies, and are used in moderate quantities in some forms of crafting.

They function as a sort of "rerolling" item, adding or removing a modifier unpredictably, much like the Orb of Alteration does on white items. They are rarely used on gear during leveling, and mostly in endgame to try to roll desirable effects into Unique items. Vaal Orbs can also be used to create corrupted Implicits on a piece of gear, which are typically powerful. Achieving a desired set of corruptions on an item can be difficult, however.

Divine Orbs

As one of the most valuable items in path of exile currency, Divine Orbs allow players to reroll the values of random explicit modifiers on magical, rare, and unique items. They also serve as a key trade currency for high-value gear pieces that will skyrocket your damage output or survivability.

They can be obtained from defeated monsters, chests, destructible containers, and Arcanist’s Strongboxes. However, since the 3.19 change that removed the 6-link vendor recipe, acquiring them now largely revolves around random drops and trading.

Regardless of whether you are trying to fine-tune your build, accumulate wealth through trading, or unlock the full potential of your gear, obtaining a steady supply of Divine Orbs should be at the top of your priority list. Fortunately, there are some ways to make the process more efficient and effective. These include:

Fishing Rod

A fishing rod is a two-handed weapon base type found in the game Path of Exile. It is used for obtaining items and treasure in dungeons. The fishing rod is also the only weapon in the game that can remove cursed items. A cursed item drains your life and mana until you remove it from your inventory.

Having the right fishing rod allows you to cast baits farther and more accurately. Rod makers have fine-tuned the ability of different rods to work in specific environments by adjusting factors that affect how a rod handles line.

Fishing rods are made from a variety of materials, including fiberglass, bamboo, graphite, and composites. They come in a variety of lengths, actions, and flexes. Graphite rods are the most popular because of their light weight and versatile use. They are designed to cast small flies delicately over short distances and are excellent for trout and panfish. They can also be used for medium sized flies over shorter distances and are suitable for bass.
