Waystones put me out of progression/game

Never use highest waystones on travel nodes or towers.

If you want to easily sustain early game just use T1 on all nodes with less than 2 content icons and juice up as much as you can on the boss maps. Use the second best tier on the 3+ content nodes. You will never run out of waystones if you do this. Yes, it can be a bit annoying to spend time on the tavel nodes but by the time you hit T10 the atlas passive nodes will have you covered. After that point you'll get so many waystones you can even sell to others.

Welp, this didnt take long. Map sustain issues here too

I'm not exactly sure how the waystone drops works, however I've never failed to get a waystone back from the map boss (I've run around 500+ maps). I guess waystone drop chance needs to be a certain amount. So maps need to be alched at least.

I actually thought you get a map drop guaranteed no matter what from the boss until I saw posts like these. It's definitely not random once drop chance is past a certain amount however.

POE1 had random map drop chance and the tier was also never guaranteed. Not sure if they still do. Haven't played since 2021.
