Path of Exile 2 – Waystones and Map System
Waystones are the fundamental keys to accessing Path of Exile 2’s main endgame content. As explained during the in-game tutorial, players insert a Waystone into the Map Device, select a blue tile on the Atlas, activate it, and enter a portal to complete the map’s objective. Once completed, the loop continues — a core gameplay mechanic for endgame progression.
There are 16 tiers of Waystones, with higher tiers corresponding to tougher areas and better rewards, including higher experience gains and increased item drops. Players generally strive to farm Tier 15 and Tier 16 maps exclusively, as these are the most efficient in terms of profitability and experience. To obtain a Tier 16 Waystone, you must Corrupt a Tier 15 Waystone, elevating its difficulty and reward.
Waystones are fully craftable. Players can use crafting orbs to add up to 3 Prefixes and 3 Suffixes per Waystone. However, currency is limited, and it's generally advised to save high-end crafting for Waystones that roll in well-curated, valuable map layouts.
- Prefixes are "safe" modifiers — they enhance maps with additional monsters, extra loot chests, and increased item rarity. Among them, increased item rarity is typically the most sought-after.
- Suffixes, on the other hand, always increase the number of Waystones dropped, but they come with a drawback — increased monster difficulty, hazards, or player debuffs. Smart players select suffixes that don’t overly hinder their builds.
Path of Exile 2 – Fragments and Special Boss Areas
Beyond Waystones, several other endgame fragments and keys can be placed in specific structures around the Ziggurat to access unique boss encounters and challenge zones:
- Reliquary Vault – Used to insert Reliquary Keys.
- Realmgate – Accepts Fragments, which unlock special boss encounters and events.
- Audience with the King – Grants access to the Crux of Nothingness and the boss fight with The King in the Mists.
- Breachstone – Opens portals to the Twisted Domain, featuring Xesht, We That Are One.
- Simulacrum – Sends players into the Simulacrum area, known for high-risk, high-reward combat.
- Arbiter of Ash – Requires three Crisis Fragments to begin this endgame boss fight. Both the fragments and the encounter are challenging to find and complete.
Boss fights scale in difficulty. The first encounters are relatively forgiving, allowing unlimited deaths without failure. However, each victory raises the difficulty of the next, and players aiming to maximize profits often seek to defeat bosses at the highest difficulty level. For players who aren't yet equipped for these encounters, selling high-tier fragments is a safe and lucrative alternative.
