Atlas map access and crafting

Waystones

Use an identified Waystone in the Map Device to open one Atlas map. Its tier sets the base area level, while its modifiers change the map's difficulty and rewards.

How to get and sustain WaystonesRun modifiers you can safely finish, kill the final map boss, take the boss-drop Atlas passives, and reforge three spare Waystones into the next tier.

If you run out, buy a restart set from Doryani. To use a Waystone, identify it, read every modifier, place it in the Map Device, and choose the Atlas map to open.

How to use a Waystone

From an unidentified Waystone to an open Atlas map.

4 steps

StepActionWhat happens

Step 1

Identify it, read every modifier

Use a Scroll of Wisdom if the Waystone is unidentified. Check every monster, player, reward, and retry modifier before committing because the Waystone applies them to the opened map.

Step 2

Select an accessible Atlas map

Open the Map Device and choose a map connected to your current Atlas progression. The Waystone tier sets the map's base area level.

Step 3

Insert the Waystone

Place the identified Waystone into the selected map's portal slot in the Map Device. A Waystone is a single-use item, so activating the map consumes it.

Step 4

Activate and enter a portal

Activate the Map Device, then enter one of the created portals. Complete the map objective and final encounter before using the remaining attempts.

Corrupted

Natural drops can also provide Waystones. The upgrade column shows the deterministic Reforging route, not every acquisition source.

How to get and upgrade Waystones

Current drop, vendor, Reforging, and Tier 16 routes.

4 routes

RouteWhat to doResult

Map drops

Kill monsters, final Rare monsters, and map bosses.

Waystones found in maps do not drop below the tier of the map. A final map boss Waystone drop is one tier higher than the map being run.

Buy from Doryani

Check Doryani after his stock refreshes when the character gains a level.

He stocks up to 10 Waystones at Tier 1 or one tier below the highest tier completed, capped at Tier 14.

Reforge three matching tiers

Place three Waystones of the same tier in the Reforging Bench.

Receive one Waystone one tier higher. The deterministic recipe works through Tier 15 and accepts any rarity.

Corrupt Tier 15

Use a Vaal Orb on a Tier 15 Waystone.

One possible corruption outcome is a Tier 16 Waystone. Tier 16 is already Corrupted and cannot be corrupted again.

How to sustain Waystones

A practical order for keeping enough Waystones while progressing through Atlas tiers.

5 priorities

WhenWhat to doWhy it helps

Before opening

Add only modifiers your build can complete

Every current regular Waystone modifier includes a positive Waystone drop bonus. The imported pool ranges from 10% to 25%, but extra modifiers also reduce available revivals. A completed map is more useful than a heavily modified map whose boss you cannot kill.

Inside the map

Complete the map and kill the final boss

Waystones cannot drop below the tier of the map being run. If the final map boss drops a Waystone, it is one tier higher than that map.

Atlas progression

Take the map boss Waystone quantity notables

Pathkeepers grants 15% increased Quantity of Waystones dropped by Map Bosses. Atop the World, Valuable Paths, and Archaeological Interest each grant another 10%.

Between maps

Reforge spare lower tiers instead of leaving them unused

Three Waystones of the same tier produce one Waystone one tier higher. Any rarity works, and the deterministic recipe can produce tiers up to Tier 15.

When the pool is empty

Buy a restart set from Doryani

Doryani can stock up to 10 Waystones. His stock refreshes when the character gains a level and reaches one tier below the highest tier completed, capped at Tier 14.

Do not add a dangerous modifier only for its drop bonus if it makes the boss unreliable. More modifiers also reduce the number of revivals available for the map.

Current Waystone rules

The facts that affect map access, difficulty, rewards, retries, and party allocation.

Current system

RuleApplies toWhat it means

Tier sets the base area level

Tier 1 to 16

Tier 1 opens an area level 65 map. Each additional tier adds one area level, so Tier 16 opens area level 80.

Identify before opening

Map Device

A Waystone must be identified before it can be activated in the Map Device.

One Waystone opens one map

Map Device

Activating a Waystone consumes it and creates the portals for that map instance.

Modifiers add danger and rewards

Magic and Rare Waystones

Current Waystone modifiers pair a downside with an upside and additional Waystone drop chance. Reward bonuses can include Monster Effectiveness, pack size, item rarity, monster rarity, or Waystone drop chance.

More modifiers reduce retries

Atlas maps

Characters begin the endgame with up to six attempts per map. Adding more modifiers to the Waystone reduces the number of available respawns.

The map creator receives dropped Waystones

Party play

Party size does not increase Waystone drop chance, and a dropped Waystone is allocated to the map creator.
