As with all currency, you don’t “farm chance orbs”. What you do is use efficient farming techniques in general to farm all currencies, then exchange some for the currency you want (in this case chance orbs) at market rates.

If 1 chaos orb buys 3 chance orbs (random ratio, not factual), then farming 1 chaos orb is the same as farming 3 chance orbs.

Orbs of Chance can only be used on white items, so once you use 1 Chance you can’t use another on the same item, unless you also use an Orb of Scouring after to make it white again. However using Scourings all the time is very expensive and in the end you might end up spending more currency than the item is actually worth.

Simply keep a few Chance orbs in your inventory all the time and use them on any white items that drop (and there are more than enough item bases you can start with). You could probably easily use up to 10 Chance Orbs in just one map run if you’re trying to get multiple uniques.

Thanks a lot for this guide and the tremendous website. Just wanted to ask you a question about how you use the Orb of Chance while looting: do you chance an item only once and go on, or do you chance it more?
Thanx.

It’s a pretty bad idea to chance occultist’s vestments I think. You’d have only half the chance to get a Shavronne’s as you would trying to chance a Kaom’s or a soul taker because the base item has two different available uniques.

chancing something that also possibly makes a good rare is a much better investment then just chancing glorious plate etc.
Sapphire rings and onyx amulets with good basestats are the best to chance I think, they make valuable uniques if you hit that but more importantly they can make valuable rares too. Chancing body armour/weapons is usually a terrible choice because the rare is almost never worth anything if it isn’t well linked. Rings/amulets also tend to be the least dropping rares so even the crappy rares you get end up having some use for the chaos orb recipe.

In reply to Ceddybeddy. I'll take a 10% fee from the sale (approximately 9 Chaos Orbs). Thanks.

In reply to Guest. With the items I mentioned in the post, iLvl doesn't matter as they mostly start dropping in late Merciless or maps. However, the chances of getting an Andvarius from a low-level gold ring are next to none as far as I know and there are certain minimum item level requirements for lower-value uniques. It was never confirmed but it is possible that the higher the item level the greater the chance to turn them into uniques.
