Map Sustain should be higher

Even with most Map Nodes and full clearing rare Maps i barely have enough to get to the next tier (tier 9 atm).
I buy Dorianys Maps ever Level Up and i know that you can upgrade with the Forge, still its pretty close on some Tiers.

At least have Doriany sell more Maps and at your actual Tier, even if they would be expensive, at least you have a Safety Net.
You can buy unlimited T1 Maps, but that pricing gets unreasonable really fast.
A T9 Map would cost 32805000 Gold this way

Actual example, this is the loot of a fully cleared 200% T8 Map with an Expedition in it.
Why does a T2 Map even drop here? At least stay on the same Map Tier, or have a guaranteed Map Drop at completion

I agree, I'm having a rough time progessing or even keeping up on the same tier at the moment.

Gets worse with every Tier you move up, now Tier 15 and i use precurser tables and have all atlas nodes that give map sustain and all maps are rare, still you have to be lucky to get even 1 map drop on your actual tier or higher.

when i funnel all points into maps it should be save to make more maps back, but its just luck if you dont have to buy the next round of maps on the market.

on tradeleague its just annoying, i make enough currency to buy missing maps, but for ssf players this really sucks.

at least low maps should not drop anymore, that alone would solve it.

Agreed. Map sustain is a miserable place right now. If ur not lucky to drop a same tier or higher tier map ur completely bricked into running lower tier maps wishing and praying those rng gods to drop a higher tier map.

I don't know what they did here but it's very bad. T14 map should not drop a tier 2 map. Every tier of map either should drop their own tier, 1 lower or 1 higher. And they need to increase the map drops. Its so bad right now it actually makes me want to stop playing the game. It's a complete chore.

In agreement with the sentiments posted thus far.
Am at T15 with all 28-of-30 Atlas points in Waystone-related Passives, running T15-Waystone with at least 200% Waystone Drop chances + Precursors on buffs on maps with close to 50% Inc Waystone Found in Area + Irradiated on those maps.

Atlas Tree focused on Waystones

Ran out of T15, so force to run T14 Map

Followed up T15 Map

Can confirm, Trading is basically necessary to sustain T15 mapping. You get Poorer from juicing these waystones trying to sustain and make 0 profit.

Completly agree, It's Trash even at 400% drop rate and Quality % upgraded you get dogsh!t. You get Waystone T2-3 dropping 90% of the time in T15 and It's Trash. This is in need of dire adjustment. You lose all your currency just trying to sustain mapping.
