The Atlas Skill Tree in Path of Exile 2 is unlocked after completing all six Acts. Doryani's Cataclysm's Wake questline rewards Atlas skill points (2 points per book), crucial for a smooth endgame. Effective point allocation is key. Here's a breakdown of optimal strategies for early and endgame mapping.
Early mapping focuses on securing consistent Waystone progression to reach Tier 15 maps. Prioritize these three nodes:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Constant Crossroads | 20% increased Quantity of Waystones found in maps. |
| Fortunate Path | 100% increased rarity of Waystones found in maps. |
| The High Road | 20% chance for Waystones to be a tier higher. |
Aim to acquire these nodes by completing Doryani's Tier 4 map quest. Constant Crossroads boosts Waystone drops; Fortunate Path reduces Regal, Exalted, and Alchemy Orb costs; and The High Road significantly increases the chance of finding higher-tier maps, accelerating progression. Remember to finalize your character build before tackling T5+ maps.
At Tier 15, Waystones are less critical. Focus shifts to maximizing rare monster drops for increased profitability. Prioritize these nodes:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Deadly Evolution | Adds 1-2 additional modifiers to Magic and Rare Monsters, boosting drop quality. |
| Twin Threats | Adds +1 Rare monster per map. Combine with Rising Danger for 15% increased Rare monsters. |
| Precursor Influence | +30% increased drop chance of Precursor Tablets (crucial for map juicing). |
| Local Knowledge (Optional) | Alters drop weighting based on map biome. Use cautiously; some biomes are negatively affected. |
If Waystone drops become scarce, respec back into Waystone nodes. If not using Local Knowledge, invest points in the higher-tier Waystone node (below Crystalline Growths) and Tablet Effect (next to Precursor Influence). Prioritize maximizing rare monster encounters for optimal endgame farming.
