Chaos Orbs remain the backbone of POE's economy, essential for crafting and item trading. Whether you're a new exile or seasoned veteran, understanding where and how to farm them efficiently is key.

Low-tier maps like Strand, Glacier, and Toxic Sewer provide quick runs and are ideal for chaos recipes. Focus on gathering rare items between item level 60–74, and vendor full sets for steady Chaos Orb returns.

Utilize your Atlas Passive Tree to boost mechanics like PoE Currency Expedition or Delirium, which reward chaos-equivalent currency in bulk. Investing in these mechanics provides both direct and indirect returns.

Incursion temples also serve as profitable Chaos Orb sources. Rooms like the Jeweler’s Workshop or Currency Stash offer a high chance of chaos-based drops. Use Temporal Incursions strategically to maximize returns.

Running Delirium mirrors or maps with Delirium orbs can provide overwhelming mobs with tons of loot. Use builds that excel in AoE and clearing speed to make the most out of fog-covered maps.

Consider Heist as well. Contracts with Deception or Lockpicking yield chaos-tier loot often. Use rogue gear to maximize alert reduction and stash capacity for deeper runs.

Synthesis memory nexus maps with correct modifiers (like “Increased quantity of items”) can provide high-volume chaos loot if you’re skilled in memory planning.

For solo players, efficient loot filter settings PoE 1 Currency and stash tab organization can improve farming speed. Instantly recognizing chaos recipe items will save time and improve long-term profits.

Always check trade values. In some leagues, chaos-to-divine conversion can be more efficient via trading than farming directly. Flexibility is the key to wealth.
