Fragments

This setup prepares your Waystone, Tablets, and Atlas Master bonuses for fragment farming.

AreaRequirement
Waystone tierTier 15 or higher
Waystone drop %100% or higher on the Waystone
TabletsIncreased Quantity of Waystones Found on all three
Atlas MasterDoryani
Doryani pointsIrradiated and One Additional Revival

Choose Doryani as the Atlas Master and allocate:

Doryani pointEffect
IrradiatedRaises the area monster level by 1. For example, a Waystone with level 79 monsters becomes level 80 when Irradiated.
One Additional RevivalAdds one additional revival to the area.

Prepare Tablets with Increased Quantity of Waystones Found rather than mixing in unrelated Tablet bonuses.

TabletPriority modifiersNotes
Boss Tablet 1Increased Quantity of Waystones FoundCore sustain Tablet for fragment hunting.
Boss Tablet 2Increased Quantity of Waystones FoundDuplicate the same priority modifier.
Boss Tablet 3Increased Quantity of Waystones FoundKeep all three Tablets focused on Waystone quantity.
Fourth Tablet on City mapsIncreased Quantity of Waystones FoundOnly use when Industrial Improvements lets City maps use an additional Tablet.

Use a Tier 15 or higher Waystone. Tier 15 is sufficient, so a Tier 16 Waystone is not required for this strategy. For crafting setup, see Waystones.

The Waystone itself should have 100% or more Waystone Drop Chance. In practice, this is usually a 0 revives Waystone, so plan around the lower safety margin.

Waystone targetChaotic Omen setupNote
Waystones Found + Monster EffectivenessOmen of Chaotic Quantity + one rarity blockerUse Omen of Chaotic Rarity to block Item Rarity or Omen of Chaotic Monsters to block Monster Rarity. Do not use Omen of Chaotic Effectiveness for this target.

Prioritize reaching the drop-chance target rather than spending extra resources to make the Waystone Tier 16.

BiomeWhy it matters
Any strong pathing routeNo specific fragment-farming biome target is documented yet. Prioritize reaching the needed boss or encounter nodes cleanly.
City mapsUseful when Industrial Improvements is allocated, because City maps can use a fourth Tablet.

Use this table as a quick reminder of which boss or encounter drops each major fragment target and which pinnacle fight those fragments unlock.

Before selling or choosing a target, check the PoE Ninja Fragments market for current fragment values.

LootNotes
FragmentsPrimary target. Patriarch Hall and Matriarch Hall fragments unlock Arbiter of Divinity, while Copper, Stone, and Iron Citadel fragments unlock Arbiter of Ash.
WaystonesThe setup uses 100%+ Waystone Drop Chance and Tablet Waystone quantity to keep maps flowing while hunting fragment bosses. Extra Tier 15 Waystones can feed the Waystones corruption strategy.
