In Path of Exile, the Veiled Orb is a rare and specialized currency item introduced with the Betrayal league and later incorporated into the core game. It plays a unique role in item crafting by applying a random Veiled modifier to rare items, letting you pick one of three modifiers to unveil via Jun Ortoi’s unveiling mechanic. These modifiers can be incredibly powerful—offering stats not available through typical crafting methods—and are key to many of the game’s best builds.

If you're looking to farm, trade, or craft with Veiled POE orbs, this guide covers everything: where they drop, how to use them, and how to profit from them.

What Is a Veiled Orb?

A Veiled Orb is a currency item that can be used on a rare item to:

Reroll it into a new rare item (similar to Chaos Orb),

While also applying a Veiled mod that must be unveiled via Jun Ortoi.

Upon unveiling the mod, you'll choose one of three options, and permanently unlock that crafting mod in your Crafting Bench at your hideout, provided you haven’t unlocked it yet.

Why It’s Powerful

Veiled mods include exclusive modifiers like:

% Increased Critical Strike Chance + Elemental Damage

Chaos Resistance + Spell Suppression

Hybrid Flask mods

Reduced Attribute Requirements + Strength/Intelligence/Dexterity

Trigger Socketed Spells on Use of a Skill (for trigger weapons)

These modifiers are incredibly useful in both leveling and endgame crafting, especially for builds that require hybrid utility.

How to Get Veiled Orbs

Veiled Orbs are relatively rare compared to other currencies. They are tied to specific league content, loot tables, and boss drops. Here are all the reliable ways to farm or obtain them.

1. Safehouse Rewards (Immortal Syndicate – Betrayal Mechanic)

The most reliable and thematic method of getting Veiled Orbs is through the Immortal Syndicate content involving Jun Ortoi.

How It Works:

Jun’s missions appear randomly in maps.

Completing them reveals and defeats members of the Immortal Syndicate, who are organized into four divisions:

Transportation

Research

Intervention

Fortification

Veiled Orb Drops:

Veiled Orbs drop as rewards in Safehouses, especially when Cameria or Gravicius are stationed in Research or Intervention divisions.

The higher the rank of the member (rank 3 is best), the better the reward pool.

Safehouses also drop reward chests—if one is labeled Veiled Orbs, it can drop 2–5 Veiled Orbs.

 Strategy: Manipulate Syndicate board members to place key NPCs like Cameria or Gravicius in Research/Intervention at Rank 3 before launching a Safehouse. This gives you the highest Veiled Orb payout.

2. Master Missions from Jun Ortoi

On your Atlas Map Device, you can choose Jun Ortoi as your Master and run her daily missions or stored missions.

These missions increase your Syndicate board exposure and eventually allow you to run Safehouses faster.

The more Jun missions you run, the more often you’ll unlock Veiled Orb rewards.

Bonus Tip:

Run high-quantity, high-pack-density maps (like those affected by Delirium or Scarabs) with Jun missions for more Syndicate encounters and higher drop chances of Syndicate currency, including Veiled Orbs.

3. Heist – Grand Heists (Currency Rooms)

Veiled Orbs can occasionally drop in Heist content, particularly in:

Currency Rooms in Grand Heists

Curio Displays when opening high-value chests

While not a primary source, if you’re already running Heist for currency like Exalts or Contracts, you may get a few Veiled Orbs over time.

4. Delve (Azurite Mine)

In Delve, particularly in Currency nodes, there’s a low chance to find Veiled Orbs in deeper layers or areas themed around Betrayal (like Syndicate Hideouts). Again, not a primary source, but possible.

5. Trade with Players

One of the most consistent ways to obtain Veiled Orbs is via player trading. On the official trade site, you can search for:

Item: Veiled Orb

League: Current trade league (e.g., Crucible, Affliction, etc.)

Prices fluctuate based on league economy, but expect to pay:

15–30 Chaos Orbs per Veiled Orb, depending on demand and supply.

Sometimes cheaper in bulk (10+ orbs), or during mid-league when supply is high.

6. Scarabs (Betrayal Scarabs)

Betrayal Scarabs (Rusty, Polished, Gilded, and Winged) increase the chance of Syndicate spawns in a map.

Winged Betrayal Scarab: Guarantees all 4 Syndicate encounters and more rewards.

Higher-tier Scarabs = more Jun encounters = more Veiled Orbs from safehouses.

Use Betrayal Scarabs in red-tier maps (T11+) for best effect.

How to Use a Veiled Orb

Using a Veiled Orb is simple, but strategic crafting decisions can maximize its value.

Step-by-Step:

Right-click the Veiled Orb.

Left-click a rare item (cannot be unique or magic).

The item is rerolled (like a Chaos Orb).

A Veiled mod is added to the item (must be unveiled via Jun Ortoi).

Visit Jun at your hideout and Unveil the item.

Choose 1 of 3 modifiers and unlock it permanently at your crafting bench.

Best Use Cases for Veiled Orbs

1. Unlocking Crafting Bench Mods

If you want to complete your mod library, Veiled Orbs are one of the best ways. Use them on rare Rings, Belts, Weapons, and Amulets, which have the widest pool of veiled mods.

Great for unlocking mods like:

+25% to Critical Strike Multiplier (amulet)

Trigger socketed spells on skill use (wand/scepter)

Hybrid resistances + suppression

Attribute requirement reductions

2. Rolling Utility Belts or Boots

Players often target flask effect, cooldown recovery, or movement speed mods with Veiled Orbs.

Use on:

Stygian Vise belts (for life/resistance + flask mods)

Boots (for Onslaught or Elusive chance on kill)

3. Trigger Craft Weapons

Use on Convoking Wands or Scepters to try to hit the powerful "Trigger socketed spells when you use a skill" mod. This makes Veiled Orbs key for minion, curse, and CoC builds.

4. Profit Flipping

Craft rare items with Veiled Orbs → Unveil → Choose powerful mods → Sell item or unlocked bench craft.

What Mods Can You Get?

Each item class has a specific pool of veiled mods. You can preview possible modifiers via community tools like:

Craft of Exile

Filters let you select "Veiled Mods" by item type, base item, and tags (e.g., caster, attack, defense).

Final Thoughts

The Veiled cheap POE orbs is a potent currency in Path of Exile that adds deterministic power to item crafting and bench unlocking. Though not the most common drop, it’s highly valuable and usable by all players—whether you’re a solo self-found crafter or a trade-oriented min-maxer.
