Orb of Conflict is a currency item introduced in the Siege of the Atlas expansion.

It can be randomly obtained by defeating the Maven in her Absence of Mercy and Empathy. Less commonly, it can also drop from any of her invitations, such as Maven's Invitation: The AtlasMaven's Invitation: The AtlasFor those who must not endure it,

An Orb of Conflict can be used to increase the tier of an Eldritch implicit modifier (Eater of Worlds or Searing Exarch implicits) from a dual influenced item, by decreasing the tier of the implicit of the opposite influence. The choice of which implicit is upgraded and which is downgraded is weighted, with higher tier modifiers being more likely to be downgraded, and lower tier modifiers being more likely to be upgraded.

It is the only way to obtain the 5th and 6th tiers of those modifiers: "Exquisite" and "Perfect" (or known as T1 / 2 if count from the top).

Strategies

This section's tone is highly subjective and should be rewritten in a way that presents facts rather than opinions.

Alternatively, consider splitting this section off into a guide. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.

Because the orb is weighted to have a lower chance to increase a modifier the higher its current tier is, getting Exquisite or Perfect tier (t5/t6 count from the bottom; known as T1/T2 if count from the top) Eldritch modifiers can be quite costly. The following steps explains how to get a Perfect tier Exarch mod; for Eater mods, simply use the opposite modifiers/currencies. It is generally advised to roll the implicit prior to crafting its explicit modifiers as it must be magic for imprints; however, this will limit the flexibility of Eldritch Chaos/Exalt/Annulments when crafting.

  • From this step on, you may choose to imprint the item using beastcrafting before using an Orb of Conflict.
• There is a 50% chance to hit Exquisite Exarch, in which case the Eater implicit is downgraded to "Grand" tier. You also have a 50% chance to hit "Grand" tier Exarch mod instead; you can try to re-upgrade it by using an Orb of Conflict, or use the imprint on the item to restore the mod and startover by create new imprint.
• Repeat this process to hit Perfect Exarch; a Exquisite/Exceptional base is more likely to upgrade the Eater implicit and may require several attempts.
• Once you reach your desired Exarch mod tier, you can use an Exceptional Eldritch IchorExceptional Eldritch IchorStack Size: 10Adds an Exceptional Eater of Worlds implicit modifier to

• Optionally, you may wish to have a Exquisite/Exquisite item in some situations - using an Orb of Conflict on a t6/Exceptional base with the correct implicit is almost guaranteed to achieve this on the first try. Exquisite/Exquisite items are not considered dominated by either Influence, and will not be compatible with Eldritch Chaos/Exalt/Annulments.
