An '''Orb of Chance''' is a [[currency]] item that can be used to upgrade a piece of [[normal]] [[equipment]] to a random [[rarity]].
An '''Orb of Chance''' is a [[currency]] item that can be used to upgrade a piece of [[normal]] [[equipment]] to a random [[rarity]].
==Obtaining==
==Mechanics==
Orbs of Chance are common currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes.
Orbs of Chance are primarily applied to specific item [[base type]]s to obtain a corresponding [[unique item]], a process referred to as ''chancing''. However, the resulting item is more likely to become a {{c|magic|magic}} or {{c|rare|rare}} item. The process of using a {{il|Orb of Scouring}} to make a magic or rare item white again to repeat the process with the same base is referred to as "scour-chancing".
An Orb of Chance can also be purchased from [[Clarissa]] for an {{il|Orb of Fusing}}.
The chance for an Orb of Chance to hit a unique item depends on its [[unique item tier]]<ref>{{cite web|author=MonopolyLegend|date=May 27, 2013|title=Orb of Chance Community Log|url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/35870#p495637|publisher=Path of Exile Forum|accessdate=December 7, 2013}}</ref>; these odds get exponentially worse with higher tier items to the point where the time and cost investment and physical strain is not typically worth it over simply buying the unique item outright; however, there may be some scenarios where chancing is the only (or only feasible) way to obtain a special version of a unique item, such as a [[Shaper item|Shaper-influenced]] {{il|Call of the Brotherhood}}, or a Unique with a specifically-crafted [[Crucible passive tree]].
Orbs of Chance can also be obtained from the following vendor recipes:
Rough odds to hit each tier of unique item are as follows<ref>Preliminary testing from [[Prohibited Library (community)|Prohibited Library]] prior to [[version 3.21.0]]; better estimates in progress.</ref>:
* T5/T4: 1 in a few hundred
* T3: 1 in a few thousands
* T2: 1 in a couple tens of thousands
* T1: 1 in multiple tens of thousands
* T0: 1 in multiple hundreds of thousands
The base item's [[item level]] does not limit the type of unique items that can be obtained.<ref>[[Version 1.0.0g]] Patch notes: The Orb of Chance can now generate Uniques that are higher than the itemlevel of the base type you're trying to roll.</ref> But in the past it did.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/459458/filter-account-type/staff|title=Re: ilvl requirement on soul taker?|date=July 12, 2013|accessdate=February 18, 2020|author=Rhys|publisher=Official Path of Exile Forums}}</ref> Note that it is possible to modify sockets ignoring the item level using the [[crafting bench]] if the item is of a low item level.
In [[races]] or at low levels, players may also find using Orbs of Chance instead of an {{il|Orb of Transmutation}} on normal items to randomly roll a magic or rare item, especially when lacking an {{il|Orb of Alchemy}}.
Players can also trade 4 Orbs of Chance to [[Yeena]] (Act 2 and 7), [[Clarissa]] (Act 3 and 8), [[Petarus and Vanja]] (Act 4 and 9), and [[Lani]] (Act 5, 10 and Epilogue) for an {{il|Orb of Scouring}}. Orbs of Chance can also be sold to vendors in exchange for magic amulets. [[Kirac]] sometimes sells maps for prices including Orbs of Chance.
An [[item filter]] can highlight base items as they drop for use with an Orb of Chance.
===Restrictions===
An Orb of Chance '''cannot''' create:
* [[Event prize]]s
* [[Drop-restricted]] uniques
** [[Boss]] uniques
** Upgraded versions of items, like [[blessed item]]s, [[fated item]]s or items only available through [[corruption]]
Orbs of Chance are common currency items that can be dropped by slain [[monster]]s, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's [[Strongbox]]es.

==Spending==
Orbs of Chance are primarily applied to particular base item types in the hopes of obtaining a particular [[unique items|unique item]], a process referred to as ''chancing''. However, the resulting item is most commonly a magic item, and uncommonly a rare item. Because of this, players should carefully weigh the cost of using up Orbs of Chance to obtain a specific unique against the cost of simply trading for that unique. The chance of creating a unique item is different for every unique and depends on the rarity of that specific unique<ref>{{cite web|author=MonopolyLegend|date=May 27, 2013|title=Orb of Chance Community Log|url=http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/35870#p495637|publisher=Path of Exile Forum|accessdate=December 7, 2013}}</ref>. The base item's [[item level]] doesn't limit the type of unique items that can be obtained, so it is possible to obtain what are otherwise map-only unique items.
An Orb of Chance '''cannot''' create:
* Unique items that are only available through [[vendor recipes]]
* [[Event prize]]s
* Unique items that exclusively drop from certain bosses or in certain areas
* Upgraded versions of items, like [[blessed item]]s, [[fated item]]s or items only available through [[corruption]]
An [[item filter]] can highlight base items as they drop for use with an Orb of Chance.
Care should be taken to use an item with high enough item level to get a desired number of [[item socket|sockets]] or other effects based on item level such as a [[Vaal Orb]] corruption.
Notably, unique items specific to past temporary leagues, such as {{il|Headhunter}} or {{il|Voll's Devotion}}, can be obtained with an Orb of Chance only while standing in a map to which the appropriate league's mod has been added with the [[Zana#Crafting|Map Device]]. Depending on the item, this can be one of the most profitable ways to use Orbs of Chance since they can be used to obtain items that are nearly unobtainable otherwise.
In [[races]] or at low levels, players may also find using Orbs of Chance on good base item types useful for quickly crafting a potentially usable magic or rare item.
One can sell 4 Orbs of Chance to [[Yeena]] in exchange for an {{il|Orb of Scouring}}. Orbs of Chance can also be sold to vendors in exchange for magic amulets.

Orbs of Chance are primarily applied to specific item base types to obtain a corresponding unique item, a process referred to as chancing. However, the resulting item is more likely to become a magic or rare item. The process of using a Orb of ScouringOrb of ScouringStack Size: 30Removes all modifiers from an itemRight click this item then left click on a magic or rare item to apply it. to make a magic or rare item white again to repeat the process with the same base is referred to as "scour-chancing".
The chance for an Orb of Chance to hit a unique item depends on its unique item tier[1]; these odds get exponentially worse with higher tier items to the point where the time and cost investment and physical strain is not typically worth it over simply buying the unique item outright; however, there may be some scenarios where chancing is the only (or only feasible) way to obtain a special version of a unique item, such as a Shaper-influencedCall of the BrotherhoodCall of the Brotherhood Two-Stone RingRequires Level 20+(12-16)% to Cold and Lightning Resistances+(15-25) to Intelligence (15-25)% increased Lightning Damage (30-40)% increased Mana Regeneration Rate 40% of Lightning Damage Converted to Cold Damage Your spells have 100% chance to Shock against Frozen EnemiesForged by three brothers so that they may recognize each other across any distance of time or travel., or a Unique with a specifically-crafted Crucible passive tree.
