[Towers] Should you use Higher Tier maps? Yes !!! Here is why...

Global Chat, Youtubers, Twitch Streamers ect...
All say the same wrong thing...
" It Doesn't really matter what tier you use "
" Use the lowest tier , for fast completion "

When you open your map device, do you notice how a lot of your
map areas have no content like Expedition, ritual, Delirium ect ?
Well that's probably because in all your towers you have been using
Tier 1-8 maps just for fast completion, so you can insert a Tablet or path to your next area ect.

When you actually use Tier 13-15 maps in your towers, you will notice
2 Major different things....................

Notice #1 , The Smoke/Fog Has Twice as large clear radius, which means now you can see much further into the distance of where you want to start mapping.

Notice #2 , As that Smoke/Fog disappears, the areas gain content, based on the Tier map you used in the tower to reveal that area.


I do not know at this time for sure, if Juicing the map for towers impacts the amount of content, but some people do say the % Waystone Drop Chance could affect the amount of content that is added to the areas.


Hope this information helps you guys out, because it sure helped me out a lot !!!

Yeah would love for devs to confirm this, I have same sneaky feeling with this one.

I mean, what else would you do with all the corrupted t14 maps you get from vaalfaling t15s?

This is mind blowing if true... Going to have to test.

So I just tested this and it's a complete lie.

The tower always reveals it's area of influence, which is static and doesn't change. You can confirm this by running a map from the Act 3 Refuge which shows tower influence.

Any additional mechanics added to maps is completely coincidence.

I do like the idea of harder maps affecting towers, but in this case, it's not true.

Tower and the unique npc guy map. Most of players using low level tier maps since its just a passing thru map.

No actual/official info on whether using higher tier maps makes a difference

It doesn’t matter I’ve tested this with 200 hours of tower unlocks on tier 1 for 100 and t14-15 for another it made no statistical difference.

If anything being further from the start seems to have more impact. I doubt the towers generate the nodes. I’m assuming the nodes are based on a character seed.
