Sextants remain a powerful endgame mapping tool, and Path of Exile’s 3.26 update makes them even more valuable with passive tree synergy. In this article, we’ll dive deep into how to PoE buy Currency use Sextants strategically in conjunction with the updated Atlas.

Start by identifying your Sextant pool. Scarabs and compasses are easier to obtain now, and with new passive nodes supporting mechanics like Strongboxes, Shrines, and Beyond, you can push map density to new heights.

Use Surveyor's Compasses to store valuable Sextant rolls like "maps have 50% chance to contain a Breach" or "additional Legion encounter." These modifiers synergize well with league-focused tree builds and double down on your investment.

The best strategy post-3.26 is to stack synergistic content using Sextants, Scarabs, and Atlas passives. For example, combine “Delirium Mirror in every map” Sextant with Delirium nodes and Delirium Scarabs for maximum fog duration and reward tiers.

Consider blocking mechanics you don’t want by using passive nodes like "Singular Focus" or “Wandering Path.” These allow more concentrated outcomes from Sextant effects and guarantee you don’t waste mods on undesired mechanics.

Always rotate through four Watchstones with premium Sextants to farm the most valuable content consistently. Some nodes, like “Elevated Reinforcements,” now give added value to Watchstones with specific Sextant mods.

Using Elevated Sextants and selling valuable ones via trade is also a profitable side hustle. Many players are willing to pay premium prices for guaranteed encounters like Beyond + Breach + Abyss stacking.

3.26 makes Sextant crafting and application more powerful. Learn the pool, build around synergy, PoE Currency and turn every map into a currency explosion.
