Waystone sustain is terrible

My few atlas point are all into waypoint nodes yet I fail to get enough and fall back to low tier maps.
Please add something akin to Kirac missions, improve the drop rates for waystones or have Doryani sell better then T1..

I need 6 to progress my quest, I drop nothing but 1s and 2s or 8s. Its getting annoying.

You can run the 8s to progress the 6 quest

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.

And it wouldn't be THAT terrible if you could quickly get maps on currency exchange, but having to slog through this rusty trade site again... Pretty much have to buy 10 maps at once, otherwise no one is responding as usual. GGG sure knows how to create a problem from nothing, lol.

it runs too much on rng.sometimes i juice up a map a little but get a few/no waystones or low leveled ones. sometimes i get a few higher tier one and a lot more too.

but when u dont get at least a replacement it feels bad.

ifyou're not paying attention (like me) and die in a map. not being able to tp back in means the loss is just that much harder. especially if you havent dropped a replacement.

Running T14 with 200%+ and only getting some low ones despite having speced into more stones and higher stones... :/

Unless we get a new Kirac this is way too punishing

This is my very post about it this morning

TL;DR maps should have code written that says it wont drop waystones more than 2 levels below its current level, i can accept that you shoudlnt' always get 'better' maps, but getting maps 5-10 levels below your current gameplay WTF!!

Yeah, this is the killer for me atm. Feels so bad having to go back a tier or two and get zero XP. And most players will just stop playing before they hit trade tbh

Any why aren't white maps tradable on the currency market? That would solve most things

yep, it is straight up awful
