'''Orb of Binding''' is a [[currency]] item that can be used to upgrade a [[normal]] item to a [[rare]] item with up to four [[linked]] [[sockets]].
It can be used on items without sockets, effectively functioning the same way as an {{il|Orb of Alchemy}} in this case. However, Orb of Binding cannot be used on [[Strongbox]], while {{il|Orb of Alchemy}} can.

Orb of Binding is a common drop which seems even more common than {{il|Orb of Alchemy}} (if excluding the factor of {{il|Alchemy Shard}}).
2 Orbs of Binding can be created by using 1 [[Craicic Shield Crab]] and 1 [[Craicic Sand Spitter]] are two other yellow beasts.
