An Abyss Compass in Path of Exile is a consumable currency item used to influence how Abyss encounters spawn within a map. They function similar to other compasses like Harbinger or Expedition, but specifically target the Abyss mechanic. Here’s how they work:
What it does:
Modifies Abyss encounters within a map: The compass alters the type and location of Abyss depths that appear.
Types of modifiers: These can include increased density of abysses, specific depths appearing more often, Abyss depths with specific types of rewards, or even special encounter variants.
Single-use item: Each compass only influences one map.
Different types of Abyss Compasses:
Basic Abyss Compass: The most common type, increases the number of Abyss depths in a map.
Charged Compass: Comes with a specific Abyss modifier pre-rolled, offering targeted influence on depth types or rewards.
Elevated Abyss Compass: These drop less frequently and grant powerful Abyss modifiers, often offering higher-tier depths or unique encounter variants.
How to use them:
Simply right-click the compass to activate it.
The effect applies to the current map you’re running.
You can see the specific modifier applied on the compass in your inventory.
Things to consider:
Choice of compass depends on your desired Abyss experience. More abysses? Specific rewards? High-tier encounters?
Charged and Elevated compasses can be more expensive due to their powerful modifiers.
Abyss compasses can be a fun way to spice up your map runs and increase your Abyss rewards.
