PoE How To Use Compass

Ah, physical compasses in Path of Exile! There are indeed two key types, each with unique functions:

1. Charged Compass:

  • Purpose: Apply a potent Sextant modifier to a Voidstone, significantly juicing your upcoming map run with increased pack size, quality, monsters, drops, and other benefits.
  • Usage: Right-click the Charged Compass while targeting the desired Voidstone in your inventory. The specific modifier will be applied and visible on the Voidstone icon.
  • Acquisition:
    • Drop occasionally from maps, especially with Sextant blockers placed.
    • Purchase from other players on Path of Exile trade sites.
  • Tips:
    • Prioritize high-tier maps you frequently run and choose Sextant modifiers that synergize well with them.
    • Consider value before using, as they can be valuable.
    • Combine with other map modifiers like Beyond, Nemesis, or Strongboxes for extra oomph.

2. Surveyor’s Compass:

  • Purpose: Extract a previously used Sextant modifier from a Voidstone, allowing you to apply it to another Voidstone and reuse its benefits.
  • Usage: Right-click the Surveyor’s Compass while targeting the Voidstone with the desired modifier. The modifier will be extracted and stored in the compass. Then, right-click the compass while targeting another Voidstone to apply the extracted modifier.
  • Acquisition:
    • Purchase from Niko Harvester in Delve with Niko’s Coin currency.
    • Trade with other players.
  • Tips:
    • Plan your Sextant usage beforehand and extract desired modifiers for future reuse.
    • Combine with Charged Compasses to create your personalized map-modding strategies.
    • Save valuable and rare Sextant modifiers for your most important maps.

Remember, both compasses can significantly enhance your map experiences and resource acquisition. Use them strategically and creatively to maximize your enjoyment in Path of Exile!
