Strategy
This farming method turns a simple T15 map loop into a steady stream of saleable Tablets and Waystones — the creator reports clearing only about 20 maps to walk away with a stack of both. The idea is deliberately low-friction: you slot three Irradiated Tablets into every map you run, which seeds each map with random content (Breach, Abyss, Delirium, Strongbox, Wisps, Rogue Exiles) and, crucially, rerolls extra Tablet and Waystone drops on top. Most Tablets sell for 1–2 Divines apiece, with the occasional 20–30 Divine roll, and the Waystones pile up fast enough that you can corrupt your Tier 15s into Tier 16s and sell those too.
It works this patch because the Irradiated Tablet is treated by the game as “no special content,” so each one rolls a fresh content type into the map rather than stacking a single mechanic — spreading your drops across many systems while keeping map cost trivial. It’s aimed at endgame players sitting on a finished or near-finished Atlas who want a reliable currency loop without committing to a single mechanic.
Atlas Tree & Setup
Fully completing the Atlas tree is the recommended baseline — it boosts Tablet, Waystone, Currency and valuable-item drops across the board. If your tree isn’t finished, search “tablet” in the Atlas and prioritise every node mentioning Tablets first.
Two farming variants:
- Faradun City focus — take the Mountain Mastery keystone and set its bonus to increased Tablet drops (+50%), then take History of the Faradun and set Faradun City to count as the Mountain biome. Now every Faradun City map counts as Mountain and benefits from the Tablet bonus. Downside: you must specifically source Faradun City maps.
- Boss rush — slot three Irradiated Tablets and rush the map boss (Citadel, Hive Colony, Jade Isle, Sacred Reservoir, Matriarch/Patriarch). Tablets and Waystones become the secondary reward.
For tablet mods, prioritise Monster Increased Effectiveness (tankier, harder-hitting, better-dropping monsters) and Increased Quantity of Waystones Found. The other two mod slots are flexible — Item Rarity or increased rare monsters both work. Any 6-mod Waystone is fine to run.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — Irradiated Tablets are cheap and maps are alch-and-go · Returns: mid, ~1–2 Div per Tablet with occasional 20–30 Div spikes, plus stacks of saleable Waystones · scales with a completed Atlas and Tablet-mod quality.
Step-by-step
- Check current prices first — 6-mod Tier 16 Waystones and Tablet mod values on the trade site.
- Finish the Atlas tree, or prioritise all “Tablet” nodes if it isn’t complete.
- (Optional) Set up the Mountain Mastery + History of the Faradun keystones and farm Faradun City maps.
- Slot three Irradiated Tablets per map, prioritising Effectiveness + Waystone Quantity mods.
- Run maps (or rush bosses), collecting Tablets and Waystones.
- Corrupt spare Tier 15 Waystones to Tier 16 and liquidate Tablets + Waystones on trade.
Risks
- Income is spread across many Tablet types and mods, so pricing each one takes time and trade effort.
- The Faradun City variant forces you to hunt specific maps, which can bottleneck your map pool.
- Monster Effectiveness makes packs tankier and hit harder — squishier characters should keep defensive layers in mind.
- Tablet prices fluctuate; check the market before committing a big farming session.
