Help with T14-T16 map drops
|
I'm having a hard time getting any T14 maps. First, am I doing this right?
I have all my watchstones socketed, so that T14 is the lowest tier map showing in the atlas. Then I've been running my T13 maps (through Zana even). I've yet to get a T14 or T15 map. Am I doing something wrong? Last bumped on Nov 24, 2021, 1:26:18 PM

" As I see, You are on 65/118 map bonus completition, pump that up to around 85-90. I always struggle with map drops at the beginning, but with enough bonus, it starts to work. With the current shortened atlas with 118 maps only, my breakpoint was around 90. And I would also not run awakening level 8 with no saved T13+ map pool yet. I usually run awakening level 5-7, with 1 area with 4 sockets, and 1-2 areas with 3 sockets. This way, You can still drop T11-T13s too from the 3-sockets while You run the 1 4-socket region. Then after around 105 bonus, I did not run out of T14-T16 maps anymore this league again. Oh, and I hope You are running those T14s as rare, minimum as 'alch-and-go'. If I run awakener 8 atlas, I run chiseled-alched-vaaled T14-T16s. That way, I can sustain my map pool this league too. All-time non-streamer luckless dropless rewardless tons-of-time-playing non-TFT-er 100% solo player.
So, it just turns out, we were lied to for years with the promises of a two-storied one PoE 4.0. All these worse and worse beta leagues, all these braindead changes, all lead to this. |

" Thanks! Yes, every map I run is at least 10% quality and rare. Thanks for the tip. I'll get more maps completed, and use your suggestion on awakening level. |

To actually complete more maps, look up the natural map tiers for 3.16 and use horizon orbs to get maps you need. Zana shop and zana missions help here too.

Haha, I did that…and didn’t even have one of the natural T13+ maps to use with horizon orbs. My map drops are still crap. The game went to zero fun really fast once I got all the watchstones.

" I see You are on 72/118 now, bit better, but try to pump that up a bit more. If I understand Your comment about horizon orbs right, then You can use them on any map, not just natural ones, but then You can get back only natural maps of the given tier. Like for instance, You can use horizon orbs on any T13 map, but only get back one of the natural Cells, Underground Sea, Bog, Acid Caverns or Basilica maps. Also, next to horizon orbs and Zana mentioned above, You can also use harvest, with the 'change a map to another not yet completed' craft. Harvest also have a craft to 'split a map into 3x 1 tier lower', which can give You back for isntance 3x T14 from a T15. And You can also do temples with map room and delve cities, giving several maps each. But in general, yes, breaking into T14s is always hard, need a map pool and atlas completition for it.

I am at 108/118 and 79/118, maps very consistently drop now.
Especially when I am running nicely rolled 14s. Keep at it, make sure to check Zana and run your dailies at Tier 13 minimum. ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.

Maps are super cheap this league, 2c for T15s

Mike_84 has some rly good advice.
honestly i would keep one region only 3 socketed until you are absolutely swimming in t14+ maps. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
