02What it meansOriginal PoExplorer explanation

Add one random modifier to a rare item.

A Greater Exalted Orb augments a rare item with a new random modifier. Rare items can have up to six random modifiers, so it requires available modifier space and does not replace an existing modifier.

03Practical useDecision context

Protect good items by checking every open slot.

Confirm the item is worth developing, identify whether an open prefix or suffix can accept useful outcomes, and compare a blind augmentation with more controlled alternatives before committing.

Before you use one

The new modifier is random and may occupy valuable crafting space. It cannot be used when no random-modifier slot is available and does not guarantee a high-value affix.

04Market contextTime-sensitive

Open rare items create demand.

The market prices access to a higher-tier augmentation attempt. It does not price the specific item's open affix space or the probability that a random modifier helps the build.
