A Tier 17 Map, also known as T17 or uber map, is a special type of map found in the endgame system related to the Atlas of Worlds. Tier 17 maps act as bridge between regular Atlas/endgame boss content and uber pinnacle boss content.

Mechanics

Tier 17 maps have a base area level of 84, making it easier to obtain item level 85-86 item bases required for certain powerful modifiers on items.

Tier 17 maps differ from regular maps in the following ways:

  • Instead of a white, yellow, or red engraving icon to indicate the map's tier, the icon itself is instead purple.
  • Tier 17 maps are unmodifiable, preventing them from being crafted. They can however be enhanced with map fragments or map crafting options when opened.
  • It is unknown if Tier 17 maps are affected by the Atlas Passive Tree.
  • Tier 17 maps have specific types of monster packs based on previous Path of Exile league mechanics like Heist or Expedition. They retain some of their specific mechanics, such as Expedition rare monsters having Ward.
  • Tier 17 map bosses are also enhanced ("uber") versions of bosses from these mechanics, such as The Unbreakable or Uhtred, Covetous Traitor. These bosses can each drop an exclusive unique item, as well as map fragments required to open an uber pinnacle boss encounter.

Acquisition

Tier 17 maps can only drop specifically in Tier 16 maps. They cannot drop within Tier 17 maps or non-map content.
