Do you have many maps are there in Path of Exile? Do you know which map is the best choice to drop? And what’s your favorite map to shape? If you are a new player of PoE, you may don’t have many ideas about all of these, but I know, I have been playing this game for years, I’d like to show you some basic information of these maps:

Zana Master Cartographer

Zana may be the final Forsaken Master that resides within the Templar Laboratory and seems within maps. Whenever you find her, she’ll open six portals (a treadmill if you’re unlucky) to a different map instance having a similar monster level because the map you’re presently running. She provides you with a mission that when completed will gift master knowledge about her. Zana, like other Forsaken Masters gives daily missions which are essentially free maps. Zana also sells a range of maps (the tier of maps depends upon the amount of Zana). These maps aren’t restricted by Atlas completion. Due to this buying maps from Zana is generally very helpful in completing your Atlas in early stages, particularly in Solo-Self Found (SSF) in which you cannot buy maps using their company players. You should gain levels Zana as every time you achieve this you receive 1% extra IIQ of all the map you take while using map device inside your hideout.

Shaping maps

As Elder influence spreads across your Atlas, certain maps will drop Shaper Memory Fragments in the boss(shown by blue circle round the map around the Atlas), which may be exchanged with Zana for Shaper’s Orb of the identical tier. You are able to use a Shaper’s Orb to some map from the specified tier inside your Atlas. Formed versions of maps imply that all future maps of this name drop 5 tiers greater. For instance, should you shape a tier 1 Beach map now you can find tier 6 Formed Beach maps. Note unshaped tier 1 Beach maps won’t drop. Formed maps are similar to normalcy maps, just with greater monster levels.

You are able to united nations-shape a roadmap by having an Unshaping Orb, acquired by buying and selling 20 Cartographer’s Chisels and 5 Regret Orbs to some vendor. Speak with Zana to reclaim the Shaper’s Orb.

Trading up maps

Trading three of the identical maps to the vendor provides you with just one map from the next tier up. For instance, buying and selling three tier 1 Beach maps will yield one tier 2 Desert map. This vendor recipe is extremely helpful to acquire new maps around the Atlas. For information regarding what each map upgrades to determine the map spreadsheet.

Unidentified maps

Magic and rare maps will drop Unidentified much like other products. An Unidentified map can be put inside a mapping device. When running the map you’re going to get yet another 30% IIQ bonus (doesn’t work with unique maps though) however you won’t be in a position to see the mods into the spotlight. You’ll, however, have the ability to begin to see the IIQ, IIR and pack size the map (this enables you to infer which mods might be present). You are able to usually tell a few of the mods to present instantly. For instance, curses can look within the upper left corner, the chilled ground can look on the floor, you should check your elemental resistances for — max resists as well as your existence regeneration for half/no regen. Particularly in hardcore, I counsel not running unknown maps with certain builds as certain mods, for example, elemental reflect could instantly kill you. However, should you choose, proceed cautiously.

Corrupting maps

Maps like every other item in Road to Exile could be corrupted utilizing a Vaal Orb. Corruption might have no effect or it may transform right into a new map of the identical tier, a tier one below or perhaps a tier one up. It may also reroll the affixes into the spotlight or identify the product maintaining your affixes exactly the same. Corrupted rare maps might have as much as 8 affixes instead of the normal 6. Bosses in most corrupted maps may also drop Vaal fragments or Vaal skill gems. Corrupting high tier maps is needed to obtain the Atlas completion bonus. It’s also the only method of having the tier 16 Vaal Temple map.

Vaal Fragments

You can include as much as three different Vaal fragments (present in corrupted areas throughout Wraeclast) combined with the map to improve the IIQ from the map by 5% per Sacrifice fragment and 10% per Mortal fragment. You may also give a single Vaal Fragment towards the device to develop a random corrupted area. The amount of the corrupted area depends upon which Vaal fragment (Note: the cheapest is level 66 for Sacrifice at Beginning). Adding all from the Sacrifice Vaal Fragments towards the device will open the Apex of Sacrifice where Atziri resides.

Caution: Sacrifice at Nighttime and Mortal Fragments are valuable and cannot be employed to improve the number of maps or perhaps be run as single instances.

Divine Vessels and also the Pantheon

Divine Vessels are rare poe currency items available in maps. They permit you to capture the souls of certain map bosses to change your Pantheon abilities. For instance, recording the Spider Lair boss, Thraxia, will grant you 10% opportunity to avoid Projectile damage while you possess a ‘Soul of Lunaris’ pantheon ability active. To capture the boss’ soul convey a Divine Vessel within the mapping device using the map. This grants in charge slight increases to break, speed, existence and AoE. After finishing the map, the mapping device contains the vessel using the taken soul (non-tradable). Go ahead and take the vessel to Crime around to unlock the pantheon bonus.

Some advice for gaining a Pantheon power without finishing the map around the Atlas would be to roll double boss after which only kill one of these. The Divine Vessel is going to be filled and also the map will stay uncompleted.

Cartographer’s Sextants

Sextants are the relatively rare path of exile currency items that drop only in maps. They may be put on maps within the Atlas to include an additional mod to that particular map and all sorts of maps in a tiny radius. These mods could make maps simpler, harder or perhaps provide extra valuable rewards. A sextant mod has three uses and will appear reduced out of your Atlas.

Sextants drop as either Apprentice, Journeyman or Master. Apprentice sextants are only able to be utilized on low tier maps (tier 1–5), Journeyman may be used on mid-tier maps (tier 1–10) and Master may be used on high-tier maps (tier 1–16).

Cartographer’s Strongboxes

Finding one of these simple inside a high-level map is every mapper’s dream. They’re very rare strongboxes that drop solely maps. If found in the high-level map it is almost always a good idea to spend significant poe currency attempting to roll good affixes for example elevated item quantity and elevated chest level. Cartographer’s Strongboxes cannot spawn in tier 13 maps upwards.

Ok, these are all the information that I know about the Path of Exile maps, maybe you guys can find more thing about maps from the official forum or r/pathofexile, and if you have any opinions about maps, just leave them below on the comment area.
