Shaper's Orb
Shaper's Orbs are non-tradable consumable items that can be used to upgrade the tier of a map in the Atlas of Worlds. This causes future drops of that map to have a "Shaped" prefix and the upgraded tier level. Atlas progress and map shaping is tracked separately for each league, and shared between all characters in that league.
Obtaining
Players can acquire Shaper's Orbs by completing bonus objectives on specific maps spread around the Atlas. Their tier is equal to the tier of the map they dropped from minus 5, up to tier 10 orbs from tier 15 maps. Unique maps do not follow this rule, and award a specific tier orb specific to that map.
Spending
Shaper's Orbs are used to upgrade lower tier maps whose layout or bosses a player may find accessible but whose drops and experience gains wouldn't otherwise be attractive. A Shaper's Orb grants +5 to the tier of those maps, i.e. increases the difficulty. Subsequently that increases the experience gained from slain monsters and item level of their drops. Note that Shaper's Orbs don't add Increased Item Rarity or Increased Item Quantity to that map.
You can't shape a unique map.
