The primary way to spend Regal Orbs is to consume them to upgrade a magic item into a rare item, adding one random affix. Often, using a Regal Orb is only one step in a long item [[crafting]] process that may include using {{il|Exalted Orb|Exalted Orbs}}, {{il|Eternal Orb|Eternal Orbs}}, and Forsaken master crafting benches. If used on a magic item with only one affix, a Regal Orb will create a rare item with only two affixes, which otherwise cannot exist. It is possible to add a prefix to an item only with a suffix, creating a rare item with properties also a magic item could have. This can be useful when planning to use [[Elreon]]'s ''Can have multiple crafted mods'' meta-crafting mod.
Regal Orbs do two things when used on an item: they add an additional affix, and they convert a magic item into a rare item. Regal Orbs can only be used on magic items.
Other than for crafting powerful rare gear, Regal Orbs may also be used to upgrade maps in order to increase item quantity bonuses. They may also be used to upgrade strongboxes, especially Arcanist's Strongboxes, since that strongbox type can potentially drop several uncommon or rare orbs, yielding a net positive return for the player.
The adding an affix is useful for improving {{il|Map|Maps}} or {{il|Strongbox|Strongboxes}}, where additional affixes can yield additional results.
Converting a magic item to a rare is important for crafting in that a rare item has space for six affixes (three prefixes and three suffixes) while a magic item only has space for two affixes (one prefix and one suffix).
In crafting, using a Regal Orb is a middle step when crafting a magic item with good affix(s) into a rare. If the affix added by the Regal Orb is desired, one can continue adding up six affixes through master crafting (using the ''Can have multiple crafted mods'' suffix) or the use of {{il|Exalted Orb|Exalted Orbs}}. If the affix is not desirable, an {{il|Orb of Annulment}} can be used to randomly remove an affix (hopefully the undesirable one).
Lastly, Regal Orbs can be used to purchase certain skill gems from vendors.

Regal Orbs do two things when used on an item: they add an additional affix, and they convert a magic item into a rare item. Regal Orbs can only be used on magic items.
The adding an affix is useful for improving Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Map" or Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Strongbox", where additional affixes can yield additional results.
Converting a magic item to a rare is important for crafting in that a rare item has space for six affixes (three prefixes and three suffixes) while a magic item only has space for two affixes (one prefix and one suffix).
In crafting, using a Regal Orb is a middle step when crafting a magic item with good affix(s) into a rare.
