Mandatory Abyss & Boss encounters count towards the 3 random map encounters.

I'm doing maps with triple Irradiated tablets trying to find more tablets and waystones and besides the fact 100%+ chance on drops isn't getting me any more than 1 waystone per map, I've ran 7+ maps like this and every single one is only a boss, an abyss and one other encounter.

And why do I only get more than 1 waystone dropped out of every 5 maps with 100%+ waystone drop?

Also yes, I'm fully wiping the mobs and revealing the entire map.

I'm pretty sure the base abyss doesn't count.
However you can get overrun by abyss as an additional map encounter (aka thing)

I just did another map, Steppe. I got the mandatory boss encounter, mandatory regular league abyss ancounter and 1 regular strongbox. Full map clear and even left a rare alive to make sure a wisp didn't despawn.
Ran a Tower and I got abyss, a boss and expedition
I'm not sure why it's important to mention bosses. They're not bonus content.

Also, you're supposed to get 1-3 bonus content per map according to patch notes. It could just be a matter of coincidence that your luck has been pretty bad and constantly getting only 1 bonus content per map. Either that or the number of bonus content scales with map tier and/or number of mods on a waystone.

It's not counting towards it, no, you should get a boss, an abyss and 1 to 3 "things" on average. One thing I'm less sure are the shrines and strongboxes.

Shrines and strongboxes count as bonus content, yes.

it's important to mention bosses because that's one of the map mechanics/content.
The point and the experience are showing that a default map boss and the default Abyss mechanic are counting towards 2 of the 3 "random" encounters.

I know what I "should" get according to what has been stated/implied. I recorded that I was not getting that.
Blooming fields, Boss, Abyss, Strongbox
No tablets, Empty t15 waystone.

Rewarded 2 exalts, 1 waystone with a 300% rarity build.
