12 Artificer's Orbs - Campaign Drop Locations

Throughout Path of Exile 2's campaign, you can now find up to 12 Artificer's Orbs in set locations, or as quest rewards. This guide will show you the location of each of these

Quick note: although it has been stated that there are 12 Artificer's Orbs, currently the location of only 11 have been found so far and this guide will be updated when the last is found

NOTE:

With the removal of Cruel Difficulty in Patch 0.3, it's likely there will be new locations for guaranteed Artificers Orbs in Act 4 and the Interlude Acts. These will be included once their locations have been confirmed

The location of each of the Artificer's Orbs are as follows. These are the same in both Normal and Cruel except where stated otherwise

• Mud Burrow - Slay the Devourer Quest - Quest Reward, Renly (Cruel Only)
• Ogham Village - Blacksmith's Chest behind Renly's Tools. You will also be granted a Blank Rune which you can forge into a Rune of your choice with Renly

• Mawdun Quarry - Faridun War Cache - located past a bridge beyond a Checkpoint
• Deshar - The Unremembered - a skeleton located in a small area beyond a Checkpoint

Act 3

• The Venom Crypts - Quest Reward, Servi - Collect the Corpse-Snake Venom and complete The Slitering Dead Quest and return to Servi for your reward, which includes a choice of a permanent buff, as well as an Artificer's Orb. The Venom Crypts can be located beside a Waypoint in the Jungle Ruins
• The Molten Vault - Quest Reward, Oswald - Complete the Treasures of Utzaal Quest by slaying Mektul, the Forgemaster to acquire the Reforging Bench and an Artificer's Orb as a quest reward. The Molten Vault can be found inside the Drowned City
