This article needs cleanup to meet quality standards.

The list of modifiers shown here and on individual precursor tablets require cleanup once datamined. Please help improve this article if you can.

This article is about the item class. For the base type, see Precursor Tablet (generic).
Precursor Tablets
Tooltip
Precursor Tablets are special items that can be used in the Map Device to add more Endgame Mechanics to Maps on your Atlas.

Precursor tablets (or just Tablets) are items that add additional map mechanic encounters to maps. They can be placed in the Map Device along with the waystone to add its effect to the opened map. Tablets have a limited number of uses before they are consumed, indicated on its implicit modifier.

The number of tablets you can use for a map depends on the number of affixes on the waystone: 1 with 1-2 waystone modifiers, 2 with 3-5 waystone modifiers, and 3 with 6+ waystone modifiers.

The encounter mechanics added by tablets will not override any random encounters added to the map. Tablets cannot be used in map areas that have already been opened.

By default, tablets can normally drop as normal, magic, or unique rarity, and cannot be upgraded into a rare item. However, after defeating the Arbiter of Ash for the first time, it will unlock the ability to upgrade a tablet into rare rarity (e.g. via a Regal OrbRegal OrbStack Size: 20Upgrades a Magic item to a Rare item, adding 1 modifierRight click this item then left click a magic item to apply it. Current modifiers are retained and a new one is added.); rare tablets can typically have a default maximum of 4 modifiers. This limit can be exceeded by corrupting a tablet using an File:Ancient Infuser inventory icon.pngAncient InfuserAncient InfuserStack Size: 10Modifies a Precursor Tablet unpredictably, with a chance to destroy itRight click this item then left click on a precursor tablet to apply it.File:Ancient Infuser inventory icon.png.

0.3.1
  • You no longer need Towers to use Precursor Tablets, instead, Tablets can now be placed into the Map Device to add their bonuses directly to your Map.
  • Tablets now have a fixed number of uses, as described by its Implicit Modifier.
  • Each time you use a Tablet while running a Map, the number of remaining uses on the Tablet decreases. Once it reaches zero, the Tablet is destroyed.
  • You can use up to 3 Tablets with each Map, but the number of slots available is based on how many modifiers the Map has. Running a Map with 6 Modifiers will enable all 3 of the Tablets slots on the Map Device.
  • Tablets cannot be applied to areas that have already been attempted.
  • Non-Unique Tablets now have 10 uses (previously 12 to 18), or in the case of the Overseer's Tablet it now has 10 uses (previously 2 to 4).
  • As your tablets are now directly applied to your Maps, this means that you can now apply the content you desire to every single Map you run (assuming you have the tablet supply). However, the ceiling for the amount of content you can apply to a single Map has been lowered. Overall this results in a more streamlined and consistent experience, but in order to not have the ceiling come down too far, we’ve buffed the modifiers on Tablets:
