Waystone Sustain

I do primarily T14-T16 and have specced all the nodes for higher tier waystones to drop. I don't now how this is calculated but from the nodes it should be 70%. I do transmute - augment - regal or alch every waystone and if they have bad waystone % i vaal them. However the waystones that drop are almost always T2-T9 especially after the latest patch. Feels more like 5% higher tier drops than 70%. Having to grind lower tiers or buying waystones from other players sucks.

Rush towers. Do boss nodes.
4-5 t15 from a boss ain't unusual

Buying waystones? How? There's none in trade lol.

Oh boss rushing? I was lucky if I got one T15 from that.

To be fair I can't afford MF on my gear yet, but running low tiers just to run one T15 to get another one, repeat, just sucks.

Doryani sells waystones up to T5. And as mentioned, boss maps are the most reliable way.

Nice I can almost afford a mirror from T1 maps.

I do the towers and I put in tablets. I will try the boss Waystone node and kill some bosses. Thanks for the tip.

same for me - out of waystones now ... LvL 77 at tier 8 with 160% waystone buff i drop tier 1/2/3 maps if any with increased pack size and towers & atlas nodes.

Did yesterday a boss on T7 with 146% waystone buff, additional modifier, irradiated and he dropped t3 map ... i didn't find a single tier 7/8 or higher waystone in the last 5 maps

Something is really off.

AND the vendor sells tier 1 maps - nice!
At least he should sell tiers equal to your progression, for worst case scenarios.

I am literally out of the game now and can't progress ... if maps are the end game, i shouldn't have to trade or buy cards at all.

Thank you for the offer - i'm generally very frustrated. I don't like the one-death machanic, maps are very group-unfriendly in different ways and at this point i got hit with the map-sustain problem. If this is the endgame, we shouldn't buy or trade maps at all. I mean it stopped me from playing because i have no maps ... insane. I understand the dying punishment, tower & maps system in general so i don't see how i can avoid this problem in the future, i buffed every single map i run and just don't drop maps for my tier/progression anymore (since tier 5/6 or patch) it's really off ... AND it can happen again right? This machanic is simply flawed right now and should be addressed asap. I am not the only one by the way ...

Agree, waystone sustain is horrible at tier 15. Running +2 levels with 275% waystone drop fully juiced and no stones higher than level 10 are dropping with
full clear and all waystone upgrades in atlas. What a waste of exalts just to have a chance to continue progressing my character.
