Upgrade Sockets, Quality, and Item Power
Some PoE 2 upgrades are not about replacing the whole item. Sometimes the better move is improving what you already have: more gem support potential, better item quality, stronger weapon output, improved armour value, or a flask that performs more reliably.
That is where socket and quality currency matters.
This category includes Lesser Jeweller’s Orbs, Greater Jeweller’s Orbs, Perfect Jeweller’s Orbs, Artificer’s Orbs, Gemcutter’s Prisms, Armourer’s Scraps, Blacksmith’s Whetstones, Glassblower’s Baubles, and Arcanist’s Etchers. These items help fine-tune gear, gems, flasks, and skill setups without jumping straight into full rare-item crafting.
Use this page when your build already has a decent foundation, but still needs polish. Extra sockets, better quality, stronger gems, and improved equipment can make a character feel smoother before mapping, bossing, or pushing deeper into endgame.
