The Maraketh are an ancient race, bound by ascetic tradition. They have been tasked by their deceased leader, the Sekhema Deshret, with the duty of guarding the entrance to the mines of Highgate. Deshret aided her people in their vigil, helping to craft a new breed of weaponry. The Awakening brings these powerful, ancient tools to the hands of Exiles. They are known simply as the Maraketh Weapons.
Maraketh weapons have implicit properties that make them distinct from other weapons in Path of Exile. The powers of these artifacts enable revolutionary, unique builds for characters venturing into Act Four and beyond. Find one yourself, and own a piece of Wraeclast's epic history.
One of the most exciting additions to Path of Exile: The Awakening is the Divination Card system. The cards are a new type of item that drop in many areas of the game. Divination Cards allow players to systematically work their way to the acquisition of desirable items, without having to rely on random chance alone. Once enough cards are gathered through play or trade, they can be exchanged at the Act Four NPC Tasuni for a specific item. The rarity and power of the item received determines how many cards are required in trade.
All Divination Cards appearing in The Awakening will be designed by players. To start creating your own, purchase a Highgate Supporter Pack
