Atlas Map Drop Improvements

We're really glad that you've been enjoying Atlas of Worlds so far. We've gone through feedback and wanted to respond quickly and transparently about some changes we're making related to map progression.

Today, with a serverside hotfix, the following changes will be made:

• Overall map drop rates will be increased slightly (around 5%). This is intended to ease the map pressure that some users are feeling in lower tiers.
• Cartographer's Sextants will drop more often. They were too rare.
• Zana's Sell Window will now sell you maps you haven't completed. It's like you got them in trade from another player.

We also have a larger 2.4.0c patch lined up for tomorrow with many bug fixes and improvements. Specifically, the map changes planned for that one are:

• If a Zana mission grants you access to a map that is a higher tier than normal, then it's treated as connected to a random map of that new tier rather than being capped at dropping lower maps.
• The Uber Labyrinth map chest will be able to drop maps that you haven't completed.

Thanks for the continued feedback, and best of luck exploring the Atlas!

What about completing Oba's map without getting Shaper's orb?:( (i've got legacy map)


Glad to hear about sextants - run over 120 maps and haven't found any single one...

As far as I'm aware, Shaper's Orbs can only drop in Atlas maps. Legacy maps don't drop Shaper's Orbs.
