A Blight Thread is a Map Fragment that lets you add a Blight encounter to an area through your personal Map Device. It has a stack size of 100 and requires a level 68 area to drop. The Thread can also apply special modifiers that change the encounter, its enemies, or its rewards.

Possible Blight Thread Modifiers
A Blight Thread can add one of several special effects to the encounter:
- Friendly Pustules: The Blight Pump and Towers spawn friendly Pustules that provide powerful auras. These can support your defense during the encounter.
- Mycotic lanes: Up to two lanes become Mycotic, changing the encounter’s lane setup.
- Blight miniboss: If you successfully defend the Pump, it spawns a miniboss. Defeating more Blight enemies during the encounter improves the miniboss’s rewards.
- Free tower construction: Blight Towers cost nothing to build or upgrade, giving you more freedom to set up defenses.
- Currency monsters: Monsters from one lane are replaced by rolling currency Monsters, creating a lane focused on currency drops.
- Rogue Exiles: One lane’s monsters are replaced by Rogue Exiles, each guaranteed to drop a Unique item.
- Pantheon God: The Blight Pump is replaced by a sleeping Pantheon God. It awakens after you successfully defend the encounter. The God’s rewards improve with the number of Blight enemies slain, and at least one Rare monster in the encounter will be Pantheon-Touched.
How to Approach a Blight Thread Encounter
The modifier can change which parts of the encounter deserve your attention. With free tower construction, you can build and upgrade more freely as lanes develop. If a lane contains currency Monsters or Rogue Exiles, prepare to handle that lane while keeping the Pump protected.
For modifiers whose rewards improve with the number of enemies defeated, clearing as many Blight monsters as you can before the encounter ends may improve the payoff. In particular, the miniboss and Pantheon God modifiers tie better rewards to the number of slain enemies.
How to Get Blight Thread
Blight Thread can drop anywhere in areas with a drop level of 68 or higher. Use it in your personal Map Device when you want to add a Blight encounter and potentially gain one of its special effects.
