'''Orb of Conflict''' is a [[currency]] item introduced in the [[Siege of the Atlas]] expansion.
'''Orb of Conflict''' is a [[currency]] item introduced in the ''[[Siege of the Atlas]]'' expansion.
__TOC__
==Mechanics==
An Orb of Conflict can be used to increase the tier of an [[Eldritch implicit modifier]] (Eater of Worlds or Searing Exarch implicits) on a piece of equipment, decreasing the tier of the implicit of the opposite influence. The choice of which implicit is upgraded and which is downgraded is weighted based on the difference in tier of modifiers.
It is obtained occasionally after defeating the [[Maven]].
The chance to upgrade a modifier when the tiers are equal (e.g. 3/3) is 50%. Each difference in tier modifies the rate by approximately ±11%, decreasing if the desirable implicit is higher than the other one, and increasing if lower than the other one. For example, a 5/3 item has a ~28% chance to upgrade to 6/2.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/13y05ag/orb_of_conflict_rates_50_11n_to_upgrade_per_n/</ref>
Orb of Conflict can be used to increase the tier of an Eldritch implicit modifier and is the only way to obtain the 5th and 6th tiers of those modifiers (or known as T1 / 2 if count from the top).
As {{il|Exceptional Eldritch Ember}}s and {{il|Exceptional Eldritch Ichor}}s are more restricted in their availability, it is generally advisable to roll for the desired implicit using "Grand" tier Eldritch currency instead. The opposite modifier can then be rolled using an Exceptional currency as the modifier itself is not relevant when upgrading. Items can be [[imprint]]ed prior to using an Orb of Conflict to reset if a modifier is downgraded.
It is the only way to obtain Tier 5 and Tier 6 (in this case T1 is the bottom tier while T6 is the top tier, unlike the in-game normal mod tiering) Eldritch implicit modifiers, referred to in-game as "Exquisite" and "Perfect".

As the lower tier modifier is removed, it is recommended that you only use the Lesser currencies of the Eldritch implicit types you don't want due to the relative cost.

*Start with a tier 4 Exarch/tier 1 Eater item (or vice versa) with a t4 implicit you want to upgrade.
! Eater of Worlds Currencies !! Searing Exarch Currencies!! In-game mod name !! Mod tier
*There is a 50% chance to hit t5 Exarch, in which case the Eater implicit is removed. Apply an {{il|Lesser Eldritch Ichor}} to repeat the process. You also have a 50% chance to hit t3 Exarch instead; whether you should gamble another Orb of Conflict or reroll implicits with an {{il|Exceptional Eldritch Ember}} to recover the t4 mod will depend on the relative price/availability/weight of the mods.
|-
*Repeat this process to hit t6 Exarch; at this point, you can use an {{il|Exceptional Eldritch Ichor}} to hit a desirable Eater implicit (thus leaving your item at t6/t4).
*In niche cases, you may want to hit t5/t5; simply use an Orb of Conflict on a t6/t4 item to do so. Note that t5/t5 items are not considered dominated and you will not be able to use Eldritch Currencies on it.
