Grand Design

Atlas Keystone

Small Atlas Passive Skills grant nothing
Your Maps have 1% increased Pack Size per Allocated Notable Atlas Passive Skill

Ignore everything but your obsession, Nomad. A mortal life is too short a season to entertain distractions.

Grand Design was an atlas passive skill and Atlas keystone.

Mechanics

Disables the effects of all small passive skills, but adds 1% pack size per notable allocated. The most popular use of this keystone is to farm extremely dense Breaches, Legions, Abysses, Expeditions, and Exarch/Eater packs for experience and Logbooks. It also benefits Delirium, Ritual, Harbinger, shrines, and Beyond. Depending on the player's atlas tree, it is fairly easy to achieve double or more the default pack size of monsters in maps. The passives which block off league mechanics are most efficient with this. Using Sextant modifiers which force a league mechanic to appear with it are recommended, as their appearance rates are significantly lowered without small passives.

Ruthless mode

In Ruthless mode, instead of granting increased pack size per notable, it grants 20 Atlas passive skill points.
