I just quit POE2 because of lack of WAYSTONES.

I had the same problem... For about first hour in maps. Then I opened browser and typed "PoE 2 how to sustain waystones" and after about 10 minutes this problem magicaly disappeared.

I have 5k gold that allows me to buy a single WAYSTONE. I need 81 TIER1 waystones to combine them into TIER4 (my current tier).

MAPS do not drop waystones or drop them rarely even after I put 2 points into wayponts passive. I don't have exalts to upgrade my waysones so I simply ran out.

WAYSTONE drop should be GUARANTEED with your current stupid design (1 life only per map).

This is serious problem for new players, of course not for streamers that have millions of gold.

This has to be bait, right? I literally stopped picking up waystones because I have 2 quad tabs full of T15s. Homie never spent time in the end game lol.

It seems player experience is different and an rng mechanic involved. You probably just need to strategize a bit on juicing maps but sometimes you get really unlucky with random kills by mobs or bad conditions on the juiced maps. Heck even lag and crashes happen and you lose the map. I can sympathize on the sustain on higher tiers maps where you see tier 1 and 2 dropping. It would be nice to not have map drops that are below what tier map you are in.

Yeah, I've been trying to farm some waystones for a few days now and I just gave up. It was okay until like t7. After that, it is like running an 8 or 9 and I get a few stones maybe up to t4. Man what. I always pimp up my maps, have atlas passives, irradiated and other shit, etc. Now I even ran out of t6 maps, but not gonna go back to t5 to try to ramp up tiers, it is just a waste of time at this point. Not sure if it happened 'cos of a patch or something a few days ago or something else, but this is just totally crazy now. It makes no sense at all to even start the game. Low level maps give no xp and no loot really. I know it is a beta basically. But never had this problem in poe1. I just hope, it will be fixed. Cheers.

No matter how much you say it there will always be people coming in going on about how many T15s they have. It's all like trying to explain the arctic to a camel

Me sitting here woth 3 quad tabs of t15s. Wondering if I'll ever be able to sustain.

Cya later bud. 1 less complainer to listen to.

I agree with OP.
I have specced in the Atlas.
I run T15s with irradiated and/or mo,ster level +1
I run T15s, with boss.
I kill everything.

I cannot, for god sake, sustain T15.
Had no problem until i reached red maps
Things started to go south.

TLDR : game needs a droprate buff for T15 reds.

+1 game needs a droprate buff for T15 reds.

I had to buy more stash tabs, twice. Just to put my juiced t13-t15 waystones that I've either found or crafted.

On average if I'm just including juicy maps affected by towers I'll get between 4-10 waystones per map and I don't pick up any less than t10 unless they're yellow. If so they get thrown in a 1 ex dump tab.

I have so many waystones it bothers me that I need to reforge them down multiple times a day just so I have room to dump loot quickly when I get back.

Our experiences seem to be completely different in terms of results. It is not luck, you are doing something badly or in an un optimised manner.
