Ancient Orb is a currency item that can be used to reforge a unique item as another of the same item class in the broader sense of the term, such as "flask" instead of life/mana/hybrid/utility flask.

Item acquisition

Ancient Orb has restrictions on where or how it can drop. Drops from Harbingers or Harbinger-related rewards.

Recipes

Ancient Orb can be created from the following recipes:

Amount	Part	Notes	Description	Meta
20	Ancient ShardAncient ShardStack Size: 20A stack of 20 shards becomes an Ancient Orb.	N/A	N/A	M

Spending

Reforging a unique item means the base item type can change when the orb is applied. Ancient Orbs do not change the inventory size of an item, so 2x4-sized "tower shields" for example stay within that group.

Notably, unique items specific to past temporary leagues, such as HeadhunterHeadhunter
