h3>Mechanics

There are currently four different Voidstones obtainable by defeating in approximate order of difficulty:

  • The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds
  • The Uber Elder
  • The Maven

Socketing a voidstone into the Atlas will raise the tier of most future map drops. The new tier can be seen by selecting the map nodes in your Atlas. Socketing all four voidstones will result in all maps on your atlas being tier 16. This will not retroactively upgrade maps which have already dropped. Some mechanics do not consult your atlas when choosing which map to drop, so not all map drops are affected.

  • One voidstone – Increases all maps on the atlas by 3 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Two voidstones – Increases all maps on the atlas by 7 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Three voidstones – Increases all maps on the atlas by 11 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Four voidstones – All maps on the atlas are Tier 16.

Voidstones do not change the chance of a map of a given tier from dropping. The game chooses the tier of map that will drop before it checks your atlas to see which maps of that tier are available to drop.

To help higher tiers to drop, in addition to their use of upgrading each map on the atlas, each voidstone also causes maps to have a 25% chance to be one tier higher, with this chance increasing the more Voidstones you socket.
