An Exalted Orb is a currency item that can be used to enhance a piece of rare equipment with a new random affix.

Obtaining

Exalted Orbs are extremely rare currency items that can be dropped by slain monsters, chests, and destructible containers. They also drop from Arcanist's Strongboxes.

Unlike most other currency, these orbs can't be obtained through vendors, except for a very unprofitable vendor recipe where the player trades an Mirror of Kalandra for two Exalted Orbs, five Regal Orbs and one Divine Orb.

Spending

Exalted Orbs are a high-value currency that play a crucial role in the in-game economy. Their primary use is to craft high-end rare items. Because of this, it is regarded as the "gold standard" currency for trading between players, with many trade deals listed in terms of Exalted Orbs. Since the average player does not have the means to craft high-end items, any Exalted Orbs the average player finds are thus traded away for other valuable equipment.

For powerful or wealthy players looking to actually use Exalted Orbs, there are two primary ways to consume them. The first is to be directly consumed, adding a random affix to a rare item that does not already have six affixes. The other is to add special affixes from Forsaken master crafting benches:

Again, these special mods are also solely used in crafting high-end rare items.
