Map fragment

From Path of Exile Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Map fragments are items that can be used in a map device to open portals to various high level areas. Placing any one of the fragments along with a map into the map device will increase the item quantity of that map.

Mechanics

Map fragment sets mainly used to open portals to special map area. Fragments from sets, as well as Scarabs, can be used to enhance a map when the fragments are use along with a map item. Using a single vaal map fragment opens a portal to a Vaal side area.

Map fragments cannot be used with Unique maps, Blighted maps, Atlas memories, any non-map items such as Invitations, Breachstones, and Misc map items, and Valdo's Puzzle BoxValdo's Puzzle BoxStack Size: 10Contains a Mysterious Map with a Foil Unique RewardI can find no method of destroying the dangerous contents within...

maps.

Map IIQ

If the player places a fragment along with a map into the map device, the map will gain additional increased quantity of items dropped. Sacrifice, Shaper, and Elder fragments grant 5% increased quantity, and Apex, Uber Elder, and Sirus fragments grant 10% increased quantity. Multiple fragments can be used to stack more quantity though they need to be of different types to stack. For example, adding 2 Sacrifice at DuskSacrifice at DuskStack Size: 10The Vaal shall never fear the setting of our sun.Can be used in a personal Map Device. to the map device adds just 5% item quantity where adding 1 Sacrifice at DuskSacrifice at DuskStack Size: 10The Vaal shall never fear the setting of our sun.Can be used in a personal Map Device. and 1 Sacrifice at DawnSacrifice at DawnStack Size: 10Only those who aspire can dare to hope.Can be used in a personal Map Device. would add 10% item quantity to a map area. Adding one more different fragment such as a Sacrifice at NoonSacrifice at NoonStack Size: 10The light without pales in comparison to the light within.Can be used in a personal Map Device. would increase the item quantity to 15%.

Vaal side areas

Vaal fragments can be placed in the map device on its own to instance a random Vaal side area. Adding more fragments increases the item quantity of the area, the same way it works with maps. As long as they aren't placed in the correct arrangement, a full set of fragments will open a Vaal side area with 15% increased item quantity.

The level of the area will depend on the fragment used:
