Check the game before using this Strongbox currency.

The current Path of Exile 1 record marks Engineer's Orb as no longer usable. It formerly improved Strongbox quality, so this page is a historical identity rather than an instruction to spend the item today.

Inspect the Strongbox and the game version first.

Keep the record for identification and historical context. Do not build a current Strongbox strategy around an item whose own directions say it can no longer be used.

Before you use one

This is a retired-use record. Old guides or remembered advice describing active Strongbox quality crafting may be outdated.

The same name represents different current value.

PoE1's record is historical while PoE2 retains an active use, so the two markets must never be merged. Current availability, Strongbox activity, and league context determine whether an observed listing is meaningful.
