What is a Regal Orb in Path of Exile 2?

A Regal Orb is one of those currency items in PoE 2 that can completely change the trajectory of your crafting. It upgrades a magic item (blue rarity) into a rare item (yellow rarity) while adding a random modifier. This randomness is what makes them both exciting and frustrating. I’ve had times where a Regal Orb turned a solid item into a god-tier piece, and other times when it completely bricked an otherwise usable item.

Through trial and error, I’ve found the best ways to farm Regal Orbs efficiently. Here’s what works for me:
