Waystones are items that can be activated in the Map Device to access maps on the Atlas.
Crafting
Waystones are craftable items that can naturally have up to 6 modifiers (3 prefixes and 3 suffixes) and can be of normal, magic, and rare rarities. Once the waystone is used in the map device, the modifiers rolled on it are added to the map as area modifiers. Modifiers make maps more difficult and rewarding. The number of revives available for the opened map decreases with the number of explicit modifiers on the waystone, going from 6 with no mods down to 0 with 6+ explicit mods.

Waystones can also be corrupted. Corruption outcomes for waystones include:
- (25%) No change.
- (25%) Increase or lower the Waystone's Tier by 1, randomizing its modifiers.

- (25%) Prevent prefixes from being removed, then reforge the item, removing all suffixes and adding the same number of prefix modifiers, ignoring modifier limit (or vice versa with suffix lock/prefix reforge).
- (25%) Prevent prefixes and suffixes from being removed, then reforge the item, adding between 0 and 4 random number of additional modifiers, having up to 8 modifiers.
Combining 3 waystones of the same tier and rarity at the Reforging Bench will yield a waystone of a tier higher.
Tiers
Waystones tiers vary from 1 to 16 and determine the area level of the map and consequentially the level of monsters and items found within. The natural area level for each waystone tier is shown below:
