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 Divine Orbs (or pay in Exalted Orb) to hundreds of Divine Orbs 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 .
The numeric values of mods on the Watcher's Eye can be modified using Divine Orbs, but the mods itself cannot be rerolled using Chaos Orbs or Ancient Orbs. It can be corrupted using Vaal Orb or Locus of Corruption for a chance at obtaining a valuable corruption 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 could also be added to this jewel by using Harvest crafting to make the jewel even more powerful. And harvest crafting does not corrupt the item. However, this feature is removed in version 3.19.0
Item acquisition
Watcher's Eye has restrictions on where or how it can drop. It cannot be chanced. Can only drop from The Elder if the Shaper lives (2 mods variant) and from the Uber Elder (3 mod variant).
Monster restrictions

Recipes
Watcher's Eye can be created from the following recipes:
| Amount | Part | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | The Samurai's Eye | Watcher's Eye |
| 9 | Azyran's Reward | random corrupted Prismatic Jewel |
| 9 | The Destination | Two-Implicit Corrupted Watcher's Eye |
| 1 | The Void | Random divination card set exchange |
Usage
Watcher's Eye is restricted to one per character. Due to this restriction, a single jewel that has all three mods for the character is highly valuable. Players generally look for jewels that work with the auras they already use, or can be activated by fitting in a low cost auras such as Vitality, Clarity and Precision. In some extreme case, character might switch their aura choice just to enable an extra mod on Watcher's Eye.
Variants of the Watcher's Eye boost offensive and/or defensive capability if the following auras are active:
| Gem | Level |
|---|---|
| Grace | 24 |
| Haste | 24 |
| Hatred | 24 |
| Precision | 10 |
| Purity of Ice | 24 |
| Clarity | 10 |
| Discipline | 24 |
| Malevolence | 24 |
| Purity of Elements | 24 |
| Purity of Lightning | 24 |
| Wrath | 24 |
| Zealotry | 24 |
| Anger | 24 |
| Determination | 24 |
| Pride | 24 |
| Purity of Fire | 24 |
| Vitality | 10 |
The jewel does not have any modifier for skills that have both Aura and Banner gem tags, or both Aura and Stance gem tags (Flesh and Stone), or both Aura and Mine gem tags, any Herald skills, or any skills that only grant temporary auras: Smite, Rejuvenation Totem and Vaal aura skills.
Random modifiers
Watcher's Eyes dropped during the Elder encounter will always be item level 85 and have two aura modifiers while jewels dropped during the Uber Elder encounter will always be item level 86 and have three aura modifiers. Item level is the only method to verify if an unidentified Watcher's Eye will have two or three aura modifiers.
There are 4753 combinations[confirmation needed because of 3.12 change] of possible modifiers it can roll for the two-aura variant and 152,096 combinations for the three-aura variant.
Using a Divine Orb will not change the random aura modifiers to new ones.

Implicit modifiers
If a Watcher's Eye is corrupted with a Vaal Orb or Locus of Corruption, it has a chance of obtaining the a corruption 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. See List of jewel corruption implicit modifiers for the full list of mods.
Harvest crafting could also add implicit mods to the Watcher's Eye. Read List of jewel implicit mods for the full list of possible mods.
