Prime Sextant Mods - Path of Exile

PoE 3.17 Changes

  • Simple Sextants and Prime Sextants have been removed from the game. Instead, the modifiers that you could obtain from these Sextants have been moved to the pool of modifiers that Awakened Sextants have. We've also moved some of the drop weighting / drop chance that these Sextants had to the Awakened Sextant so that you're getting roughly the same total amount of Sextants that you were prior to this change.
  • Existing Simple and Prime Sextants will be converted to Awakened Sextants.
  • Stored crafts that exchange Sextants for another type of Sextant have been removed from Horticrafting Stations.
  • Cameria's Betrayal Research Safehouse rewards are now Orbs of Unmaking.
  • The "Monochrome" Divination Card can no longer be obtained. Existing Divination Cards can still be turned in, awarding 10 Awakened Sextants.

Sextants are used on the Atlas of Worlds to add a random mod to a Watchstone. This means that each region can be affected by up to four sextants at any one time. This effect will be applied to all the maps in that region. Sextant mods applied to the Atlas last a total of three uses of maps within the area. Duplicate sextant effects do not stack and will deduct a use from one of the Watchstones.
