I just quit POE2 because of lack of WAYSTONES.

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.

I am currently farming t13 to t15 and while I barely get any t15 I can't complain about the amount of waystones I get.
Run every map at least yellow with 3 mods. If you can even with a layer of delirium and you won't run out of maps

I have almost a Quadtab with T1 to t5, one quad with t6 to t9 full and half a quad of everything t10+

And I don't really invest in mapping because I am shit poor. Tried running 10 maps fully exalted to the maximum. Dunno if I actually made profit or not but it was at least even

YO! I had this same problem over the weekend. They were dropping all over then nadda. It was because I upgraded my helm/ammie/ring with chaos resist, etc, and took out rarity of items / magic find. Then I found a new hat with chaos and magic find and they started dropping again. Then I put on more magic find and found more. Solution = pump up your magic find bonus :D

its also Absurd that doing T10+ can still drop T1~5 lol. what is GGG thinking

yeah I think the tiers should account for both map level and char level

if you arent getting enough waystones then you arent juicing your maps enough. im on t15s, and im getting more than i can use. Dont forget you can also 3:1 maps from lower tiers to higher tiers. Corrupt them for more mods. Tablets can also roll inc waystone drop chance. You quit cus you suck, not because of waystones.

Congratulation on doing well.

I am doing a lot of things to help waystone drops. But if i experiment anything and die even twice in a row i am short of way stones. I haven't lost a single boss fight in the entire journey from t1 t-15, i am doing my maps rare,i have speced into getting more and better waystones and i am using the reforge. despite that if i die twice in a row while testing something i should be out of waystones? that sound like a good system to you? On top of that i spend about an hr trying to buy from trade but bots are just mopping up all the supply. I am using active search and yet all i get back is reply sorry its gone.

I think what might be happening here is that waystones might be linked to mf. Not every class has easy access to it. So just coz u are doing well that doent mean there is no problem. Yes i admit that i might not be doing every single thing to influence waystone drops but i am doing plenty and if everyone has to do everything single thing right to get to even play then i dont agree that it is a good system.

additionally if ur opinion is going to be limited to your experience then its also only relevant to you or someone having similar exp.

not to mention lag and latency related deaths. i get stable latency only around 2 am. rest of the day it all choppyness. The penalty of losing a map and getting not any new maps from it is quiet substantial.

If there was no latency issues then that loss is fine coz it points to my skill issue and i can work on it on lower tier maps.. but why punish the player for the latency issues?

Ran out of 7+ waystones today. Most of my Atlas nodes went into waystones, some into additional rarity. Ran only magic or rare maps with tower enhancement (irradiated, breached, ...). Sure, I am dying here and there at higher tier maps but this is a joke and significantly lowers the game experience. Tired of running lower tier maps to get back to +10 or higher..if thats the intended way I'm gg soon.

Pls, increase waystone drop rates. At least ensure that theres always a waystone dropping with the same tier you are currently playing at. At least until, lets say, tier 10 or somethin.

Farming t 15 - no problems with waystones.
Run irrititated, kill bosses - they drop higher tier waystone as usual.
Plan ur route, then start crying

This +1.

I never hv problem with waystones. My problem is NO CITADELS even after +/-50hours playtime/hundreds of map run... Not to mention I got to lvl 88 but no citadels. NADA. it's a bit frustrating.
