Zana Missions

Zana, Master Cartographer is a master. Being the final master, her missions and crafting options revolve around end-game maps. Zana is an important NPC in the epilogue questline.

Zana will appear in the Epilogue after discovering your first Citadel. Once she is found, she will replace Officer Kirac’s functions as a map vendor.

Zana can only be encountered in the wild in maps.

When encountering Zana, she will give you a selection of randomly rolled maps to choose from, each with different missions. Each map will be magic, rare or unique, may have quality, may be unidentified and/or corrupted, and at higher levels, may be Shaper or Elder influenced. If the map is unidentified, the modifiers will be revealed once the map is entered, and you will not get the quantity bonus for running an unidentified map. Once chosen, she will open six portals to a map where the mission takes place. Leaving a normal Zana mission map, whether via portal or resurrecting at checkpoint after dying, only exits the “inner” map. You may reenter a Zana map even after completing or failing the mission so long as portals remain.

If a mission that requires finding an item (map, unique item, divination card, vaal fragment, etc.) is failed, the item will no longer drop.[1]
