# Maven's Orb

Maven's Orb is a currency item, introduced in the Echoes of the Atlas expansion.

It is one of the rarest currency items in the game, requiring to kill The Maven herself, which means SSF players need to complete the Maven's Invitations to grind [[Crescent Splinter]]s first. While no matter SSF or trade league, players need to gear up in order to have enough dps and survivability in the boss fight. Alternatively, trade league leagues can choose to pay more than a few [[Exalted Orb]]s to other player in exchange of this orb (or Crescent Splinters or [[The Maven's Writ]]).

Maven's Orb can be used to craft Elevated modifiers onto items, allowing players to upgrade items that have Influenced mods into more powerful mods, at a cost of removing one random influenced mod.

## Item acquisition

Can only drop from The Maven.

## Mechanics
The Maven's Orb can be used on Rare items that have two or more Influenced modifiers. It randomly upgrades one of these influenced modifiers into an Elevated modifier and removes one other influenced modifier. If the modifier that's being upgraded is already at the highest tier, it'll upgrade to a new elevated tier. There is no item level requirement for a mod to become an elevated tier.

- If your items have multiple influence types, it doesn't distinguish between different influence types in any way, and may pick any mod at random.
- It can be used on Rare Body Armours, Boots, Gloves and Helmets with at least two influence modifiers.
- Legacy modifiers or modifiers that can't be changed (e.g. suffixes on an item with the "Suffixes can't be changed" mod) will not be affected.
- It can upgrade any influence-specific mod.
- A tier 3 mod will be replaced with its tier 2 version, for example. If it selects a tier 1 mod to upgrade, it will replace it with a new "elevated" mod that has even stronger effects.
- Elevated mods can be transferred to another item with an [[Awakener's Orb]].
