Before using Vaal Orb on this box, you should definitely have one of these mods on the strongbox: increased item quantity/contains additonal items/contains 3 additional rare items. This is the best strongbox to use Vaal Orb on (applying vaal orb to a strongbox corrupts all the items inside it). It is also a good idea to just roll it with Orbs of Alteration for additonal items mod.Īrmorer’s Strongbox – contains armor items.

If the strongbox does not have at least 50% item quantity or contains 5 additional items mod after turning rare, I reroll it, depending how much currency I have. If they are normal rarity, I like to apply Orb of Alchemy. These, in my opinion, are one of the best strongboxes to apply currency on. You can find every kind of currency in these boxes, even the rarest pieces. There are currently 11 different types of strongboxes:Īrcanist’s Strongbox – contains only currency. For more in-depth explanation about currency, check this guide. I will go more in detail further in the guide. If you are already in merciless difficulty, my advice would be – carry stack of Orbs of Alteration, Orbs of Transmutation, Orbs of Augmentation, Scrolls of Wisdom for strongboxes.

Treat strongboxes as items – you can use almost all currency on them except for some pieces, whetstones, chisels or scraps for example. In this Strongbox guide, I will tell you, what kind of currency to use on every kind of strongbox, which mods to look for and when to use Vaal Orbs on strongboxes. What new players might now know, they have potential to yield great items if your approach is right. They had various rarites, types and some of them contained different stuff than others. While wandering through Wraeclast, you have definitely seen different kinds of strongboxes.
