Watcher's Eye

Watcher's Eye is a unique Prismatic Jewel, that provides between 4-6% increased life, mana and energy shield, along with 2 or 3 offensive and/or defensive mods that operate only if specific auras are active. They are one of the few items in the game that are universally used in all builds, due to the highly variable and random modifiers that they can drop with. Their modifiers are unique, highly powerful, cannot be crafted on other Prismatic Jewels, and are unobtainable on Cluster Jewels as well.

Depending on the roll, a Watcher's Eye can be of the most valuable items in the game. A 3-mod Watcher's Eye can be valued anywhere from a few Exalted Orbs to hundreds of Exalted Orb if it has 3 mods that work extremely well together. Such items are highly valuable because they are unique, cannot be duplicated or replicated, and cannot be crafted by players.

A 2-mod Watcher's Eye can drop from The Elder encounter, if The Shaper is kept alive during the captured phase. A 3-mod Watcher's Eye only drops from the Uber Elder encounter. The drop rate of a Watcher's Eye can be increased by unlocking the Gaze into the Abyss Atlas passive skill within the The Uncharted Realms.

The numeric values of mods on the Watcher's Eye can be modified using Divine Orb, but the mods itself cannot be rerolled using Chaos Orb or Ancient Orb. It can be corrupted using Vaal Orb for a chance at obtaining a valuable Vaal implicit, but this has the risk of bricking the item, by turning it into a rare item, or simply adding the Corrupted modifier without changing the item, and is therefore seldom attempted.

Implicit modifiers can also be added to this jewel by using Harvest crafting, which does not corrupt the item.

Item acquisition

Can only drop from The Elder if the Shaper lives (2 mods variant) and from The Uber Elder (3 mod variant). It cannot be chanced.

Monster restrictions

This item can be acquired from the following monsters:

The Elder
The Uber Elder

Implicit modifiers

If a Watcher's Eye is corrupted with a Vaal Orb, it has a chance of obtaining the a corrupted implicit modifier. Corrupting an item also has a high chance of bricking (destroying) the item, and players should be ready to lose the item if they attempt to do so.

Harvest crafting can also add implicit mods to the Watcher's Eye.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	The Watcher’s Eye modifier which previously granted chance to Dodge Attack Hits while affected by Grace now provides 12-15% chance to Suppress Spell Damage while affected by Grace. Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb. All existing Watcher's Eye with the mod (5-8)% chance to Dodge Spell Hit\|Hits while affected by Haste has been automatically converted into +(5-8)% chance to Suppress Spell Damage while affected by Haste
3.14.0	The {{stl\|Corrupted Blood}} debuff has been updated. It now has a maximum stack size of 10 and is now consistently treated as being completely separate from {{stl\|Bleed}}ing. Various Bleeding-specific modifiers that may have previously applied to Corrupted Blood will no longer apply.
3.12.0	Can now grant 10 to 15% increased Energy Shield Recovery Rate while affected by Discipline (from 20 to 30%). Can now grant 6 to 10% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity (from 12 to 18%).

3.8.0	Can no longer gain +% to Cold and Chaos Damage over Time Multipliers while affected by Malevolence. Instead now has +% to Damage over Time Multiplier while affected by Malevolence. This affected all versions of the item. The mana cost reduction while affected by Clarity now specifically applies to non-channeled skills. The mana leech while affected by Wrath is now Energy Shield leech while affected by Wrath. These two changes do NOT affect existing items, and cannot be obtained with a Divine Orb.
3.6.2	Reduced the value of the "x% increased Maximum total Recovery per second from Energy Shield Leech while affected by Zealotry" modifier found on the Watcher's Eye Unique Jewel from 180% to 30%. This modifier was unintentionally six times higher than intended. This affects all existing versions of this item. The "Unaffected by Bleeding while affected by Malevolence" modifier found on Watcher's Eye unique jewels now prevents Corrupting Blood from affecting you.
3.6.0	New versions of Watcher's Eye can appear with mods which interact with the new Aura skills.
3.4.0	Fixed a bug where players with the Watcher's Eye mod that blinds enemies when they hit you while you have Grace would blind you if you hit yourself.

3.1.2	Fixed a bug where the "Gain x% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity" Watcher's Eye mod was granting more Energy Shield than intended.
3.1.0	Introduced to the game.
