Okay, so what's the deal with zana's item store?

I am very high into atlas completion, both with bonus and awakening objectives.

Zana still keeps offering me white and yellow maps; I haven't had her offer me red tier once. And before anyone asks: I am spamming red tier Zana missions since I specced into "Paths Not Taken".

So... what's the deal here? Is this a bug or a ninja nerf?

If you are serious about "not once", it's a bug.

I've noticed a fair amount of Zana windows containing only yellow and white maps too, but not often. So if you haven't seen red maps once, it's a bug for sure. Report it.

agreed, i had a couple of white and yellows only to but not not often.

Also zana is indeed completely "bugged" 25c maps for maps that cost less then 5 c in trade.. wuuuuutttttttttt??

It is pretty rare you see a red map. I've found them occasionally, but it's not often. Perhaps this is the intended behavior?

The tier of maps Zana offers you is directly determined by her level (her level is the %item quantity you see in the map device, 1-8).

When you have enough Atlas completion for level 8 Zana (I honestly don't know what it is, you can google it), her inventory will have up to T16 maps and sometimes include Synthesis, Shaper, and Elder maps.

Even at lvl 8 Zana though, she will still offer you some white and yellow maps. Ranking her up only adds to what she offers, it doesn't take the low stuff away, but... why would you want it to? It's not like she's offering less red maps because she's offering you white maps alongside them.

Edit: To answer OP's question, this definitely sounds like a bug. I just checked and my Zana currently has 5 red maps for sale, so you not seeing any ever is probably something you should report.

^where did this info come from? I have never once heard that before and I regularly run into the same situation as OP, even with over 100% of maps completed and working on unlocking favorite slots.

for that matter, how do you get her to reroll her inventory? Because I've tried chaining zana missions and she seems to refresh her inventory randomly.

*ed: never mind its right in the wiki....never knew that!

That's not because of Zana, that's because of trade.
Zanas price isn't connected to the economy, hence why it never changed since its introduction.
Back in the day T16 maps were pretty expensive, I remember 15c for a single map, not even an Shaper/Elder Guardian one.

And to be clear, I'm buying all of those maps in SSF :)

paths not taken has been pretty bad since they nerfed it to shit tier..

as for the reset and store it's yet again more RNG.. go figure it out why early on the league you can get stuck if you don't get enough decent maps to run but I'm sure you're way pass beyond that.

they totally need to change her reset system it's too rng based.. I don't want yellow/white maps when I'm already running t16+ maps.

So don't buy them? They're there to help fill in Atlas Completion gaps you might have in your Atlas, or to stock up on white maps for your 2nd + build of a league.

Those white maps appearing in Zana's shop aren't taking the place of red maps, they're "in addition to." I really don't understand why you can say that "Two T15 maps and nothing else" is a BETTER option than "two T15s, some T10s, and four or five T3-6."

ok, didn't know that they always where that expensive, i mostly saw maybe 7-9c maps but then again haven't used zana a lot when i hit tier 14+, kinda thought it was related to the way to expensive zana options you can put on the maps.
