Voidstones are items that enhance the Atlas of Worlds. They are used to upgrade maps' tiers progressively up to tier 16, and are the successors to the previous Watchstone system.

Sextants can be applied to any Voidstone to grant a bonus enchantment that gets used up as Maps are activated by the Map Device.

In item filter, they belongs to item class Atlas Upgrade Item (previously known as "Atlas Region Upgrade Item")

Mechanics

There are currently four different Voidstones obtainable by defeating in approximate order of difficulty:

Socketing a Voidstone into the Atlas will raise the base tier of maps found on the Atlas. The new tier can be seen by hovering over maps in your Atlas menu. This system does not retroactively upgrade maps which have already dropped, and certain mechanics (e.g. monster modifier conversion) ignore this system. However, this system also applies to certain mechanics outside of the atlas, such as map drops in Delve. Maps tiers scale based on the number of socketed Voidstones:

  • One Voidstone - Increases all maps on the atlas by +3 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Two Voidstones - Increases all maps on the atlas by +7 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Three Voidstones - Increases all maps on the atlas by +11 Tiers to a maximum of 16.
  • Four Voidstones - All maps on the atlas are Tier 16.

Voidstones do not directly change the chance of a map of a given tier from dropping; instead, the dropped map selects an eligible map of the given tier based on your current Atlas, or adds to map equity. To help higher tier maps to drop more consistently, each socketed Voidstone also grants Maps Dropped in Areas have 25% chance to be 1 tier higher. This stat stacks additively with similar stats from the Atlas Passive Tree; if the chance exceeds 100%, the extraneous chance instead applies to chance to be 2 tiers higher, and so on.[1]

  • Voidstones now upgrade Maps in Ruthless, though the number of Tiers they upgrade Maps by is less than the base game.
3.17.1
  • Socketing a Voidstone in your Atlas now causes Maps dropped in Areas to have a 25% chance to be one tier higher, with this chance increasing the more Voidstones you socket.
3.17.0
  • Introduced to the game.
  • The Watchstone system has also been removed, and replaced with Voidstones which are obtained by defeating The Uber Elder, The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds. These Voidstones raise the tiers of maps on your Atlas and can be augmented by Sextants
