Out of waystones, now what?
|
Does the game really expect you to go back and buy level 3 waystones from the merchant and hope I work my way up to 15 sometime this decade? What's with the abysmal waystone drop rate of equal or higher level stones despite having invested points in the passive tree accordingly?
Is there any other way I can get high level stones? I'd appreciate some help Last bumped on Jan 4, 2025, 7:37:26 AM

" It expects you to learn how to sustain them, or purchase them from other players. I ran out completely at T7 and had to rethink what I was doing. My key take-aways were: Atlas tree, waystone drop chance, +tier chance (I don't take all of them anymore) and waystone effect. The keystone that increases suffixes by 25% is also great. Waystones should be run at least regal (3 mods), more if you can afford it. Suffixes = more waystone drop chance. Ideally aim for 250-300. Don't use your best waystones (tier and drop chance) on crap maps. Save them for ones with + level and bosses. Bosses drop lots of waystones, if you run the map with high (at least 300% waystone drop chance). Setup towers, ideally with +waystone drop chance on it, before you run the good maps. MF (rarity) doesn't affect drops of waystones. Adding more modifiers (keystone at bottom of atlas tree) likely does. |

I am having zero luck getting tier 13+ maps consistently. Even hyper juiced and valled. It is a combo of bad luck, desperately needed drop tuning and underpowered atlas passives.

take waystone, get it to 6 mods, add 1 layer of delirium, corrupt it, run in zone with both corruption + irradiated.
You can get a fair amount of waystones that way 2-3 levels above the tier used to open map. Will still get some dud maps with hardly any, but other times get 10+ *I Also try to synergize tablet/waystone mods and the content on the nodes. eg, pack size/ more rares/ more rare modifiers will make a breach in a corrupted zone 2-4x better rather than quantity/rarity mods which help more with boss loot from my experience.

" Could also just use that 6 mod (without deli or corrupt) on a boss node (even better with +1/2 levels on it). Really don't need 6 mod either, it's only suffixes that matter for drop chance. |
|
" prefixes can add more packs, pack size, more rares, more rare modifiers. all of that equals to more things dropping including waystones. I haven't taken a single node into more waystones on the atlas and i have a quad tab full of 13+ "Beidat honored the pact, though Mancy wouldn't take off Doryani’s prototype."

" True, but for those that currency is an issue I'd say the waystone drop chance (especially if using it on boss nodes) is more important. |

How does people run out of waystones? I am genuinely confused. Are you runing them white? No alch, no transmute? Or just constantly dying in every map? I play like a cabbage but damn, I never run out of them.

I just find it extremely odd that the thing you need to consume in order to play the game each time is hidden behind a thousand plate spinning mechanics, anyway I have uninstalled the game for now maybe the merchant will have a ready stock or something by the full launch date.
