Idea for a new QoL Premium Item in Path of Exile 2

Hello Grinding Gear Games Team and Community,

I wanted to share an idea for a possible premium item in Path of Exile 2 that I believe would fit the game very well both thematically and mechanically, while also providing players with a strong quality-of-life feature without becoming pay-to-win.

The idea is a special ring or belt with an integrated “Compass” function.
This item should be a cosmetic item.

The item would allow players to select a specific target type, after which a magical compass or visual directional indicator appears around the character and points toward the selected objective.

Examples:

“Boss” → points toward the current map boss
“Abyss” → points toward the nearest Abyss
“Rare Monster”
“League Event”
“Quest Objective”
“Strongbox”, “Essence”, “Breach”, etc.

Especially in the large and often complex map layouts of POE 2, this could significantly improve gameplay flow without making the actual content easier. Players would still need to fight enemies and complete mechanics normally, but it would reduce unnecessary backtracking and improve map navigation.

I also think this system would work perfectly as a premium cosmetic or utility MTX because it has huge visual potential:

floating runes
a rotating magical circle
different themed skins depending on the league
unique colors or effects for different target types

In my opinion, this would fit naturally into the dark fantasy atmosphere of Path of Exile 2 and could become especially attractive for endgame mapping players who enjoy efficient farming and smoother gameplay flow.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for all the amazing work you continue to put into Path of Exile 2.
