Waystones are items that can be used to travel to Maps on the Atlas.
Waystones come in different tiers, with higher tiers meaning higher level monsters to fight.
Waystones can be modified to increase the difficulty and reward of the monster encountered in maps.

Waystones are items that can be activated in the Map Device to access maps on the Atlas.

Crafting

Waystones are craftable items that can naturally have up to 6 modifiers (3 prefixes and 3 suffixes) and can be of normal, magic, and rare rarities. Once the waystone is used in the map device, the modifiers rolled on it are added to the map as area modifiers. Modifiers make maps more difficult and rewarding. The number of portals generated by the waystone decreases as the amount of modifiers increases, down to a minimum of 1.

Waystones can also be corrupted. Corruption outcomes for waystones include:

(25%) No change.
(25%) Increase or lower the Waystone's Tier by 1, randomizing its modifiers.

  Waystone Tier: 15Can be used in a Map Device, allowing you to enter a Map. Waystones can only be used once..
(25%) Prevent prefixes from being removed, then reforge the item, removing all suffixes and adding the same number of prefix modifiers, ignoring modifier limit (or vice versa with suffix lock/prefix reforge).
(25%) Prevent prefixes and suffixes from being removed, then reforge the item, adding between 0 and 4 random number of additional modifiers, having up to 8 modifiers.

Combining 3 waystones of the same tier and rarity at the Reforging Bench will yield a waystone of a tier higher.

Tiers

Waystones tiers vary from 1 to 16 and determine the area level of the map and consequentially the level of monsters and items found within. The natural area level for each waystone tier is shown below:

Version history

Version	Changes
0.4.0	Waystones can no longer be instilled using Liquid Emotions.
0.3.0	Modifiers on Waystones has been reworked. Now every Modifier comes with a downside (e.g. Monsters deal 20% of Damage as Extra Cold), a specific upside (e.g. +10% to Monster Pack Size) and some amount of additional Waystone Drop Chance. Downside Modifiers have been made weaker to account for the ability to have more present than before. Waystones can no longer have greater than 8 modifiers when Corrupted.
0.2.0d	(Hotfix 1) At higher tiers of Maps, the amount of Waystone chance increase required to guarantee Map drops from Final Rares or Map Bosses is now lower. You now need less Waystone chance to ensure a Map drops from these conditions at Tier 12+ Maps, notably changing at Tier14+. This results in easier sustain at the top tiers of Endgame.
0.2.0	How Waystones are obtained in Maps has been redesigned. Our intention is to make both sustaining waystone drops much more reliable and less dependant on random elements. Waystones can no longer drop at a lower tier than the map you are in. Waystones dropped by Final Map Bosses will now always be one tier higher than the map you are in. Final Map Bosses and the final naturally-occurring Rare Monsters in Tier 1 maps have a 100% chance to drop a waystone. This chance scales down as you get into higher Map Tiers, but will still be guaranteed with appropriate investment into Waystone Suffix Modifiers and through the Atlas Passive Tree. Natual waystone drops have been reduced to compensate. Removed chances for Waystones to drop a Tier higher from the Atlas Passive Tree, and lowered the amount of Waystone Quantity available on the Atlas Passive Tree. Sources of "Map Boss have a chance to drop a Waystone of the current tier or higher" have been replaced by "increased quantity of Waystones dropped by Map Bosses". Doryani now has up to 10 Waystones available to purchase, either at Tier 1, or one Tier below your highest-completed Tier. The Waystone chance granted by Waystone Suffix Modifiers has been reduced as a result of the new chances to drop Waystones. Unidentified Waystones now provide 30% increased Waystone drop chance, instead of 30% increased Quantity.
0.1.1	The chance for Map Bosses to drop a Waystone of the current tier or higher has been reduced to account for the increase in total number of Map Bosses. Added dedicated 2D art for Waystones that are instilled with layers of Delirium.
0.1.0e	The Waystone Modifier that adds Burning Ground to your Maps no longer increases in coverage or area with higher Tier Waystones.
0.1.0c	Increased the values of all Prefix Modifiers that can roll on Waystones. We've also adjusted the chances of getting the more commonly powerful Modifiers such as increases to Rarity and Pack Size.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.

-The tier of the waystone determines the [[area level]] of the map, which also determines the [[item level]] of [[item]]s and [[monster level]] of [[monster]]s found in the map. Waystones can be obtained up to Tier 16, or a level 79 area.
