Maps: Difference between revisions

Maps are items that allow access to new endgame zones (which are also referred to as maps) with higher zone levels than the vanilla game. For a list of high level zones outside of maps, see [[Zones]].

* Maps are comparable to vanilla endgame zones, making both new and old zones viable for farming.

 

 

== General Info ==

Tier 1 maps can rarely be found in Hell. Maps are more commonly found from within map zones themselves, with each tier having a chance to drop higher tiered maps. Anya also rewards characters with a regular T1 map in Hell.

 

To open a map, right click it from your inventory in Hell Harrogath with a level 80+ character who has defeated Hell Ancients. Only 1 map (or uber zone) may be opened per game. When maps are opened, a random selection of enemy types are chosen from the [[Maps#Individual_Maps|lists below]] to populate the map zone - they often don't include ''all'' of the monsters listed, so maps won't always have the same immunities present.

 

=== Map Events ===

Map zones have a ~20% chance ''(unconfirmed)'' for special enemies or objects to appear somewhere randomly within them, each with different effects. A message is displayed upon entering the zone if this happens.

 

* A '''Dark Wanderer''' appears and transforms into a random boss or super unique with increased damage/health, who drops extra [[Worldstone Shard|Worldstone Shards]] when killed (up to 3 dark wanderers per map)

* The '''Shadow of Mendeln''' appears and summons waves of undead, with later waves having many champion/elite enemies

* A '''Spire of Darkness''' appears and plunges the zone into darkness when clicked - shadow enemies spawn in the unexplored darkness and have a chance to drop [[Recipes#Portals|uber keys]] - the spire will appear relatively close to the entrance

 

=== Modification ===

Maps can be modified with several items via the Horadric Cube. Besides the orbs which can be purchased from Anya in Hell, Horadrim Scarab is an uncommon drop from map bosses and Standard of Heroes drops from Uber Tristram. Maps can also be corrupted with Worldstone Shards, which may drop anywhere.

! Item !! Additional Ingredients !! Effect

* The Orb of Fortification does not affect map bosses or events

 

Note: the Cartographer's Orb recipe is currently [[Bugs | bugged]] and sometimes doesn't work correctly with T1 maps

 

=== Affixes ===

Map affixes affect bonus experience, monster density, and magic/gold find.

 

Most affixes have 3 tiers of attribute ranges, with each tier becoming available at the corresponding map tier - T2 maps can roll the first two ranges and T3 maps can roll any of the three.

 

Dungeon attribute ranges are the same as T3 ranges, and affixes that add monsters will not spawn for dungeons.

== Individual Maps ==

For each map, monsters are listed with their resistances, type, and drain effectiveness. Drain effectiveness is the percentage applied to life and mana returned by ''"% Life Stolen per Hit"'' and ''"% Mana Stolen per Hit"''.

 

Map bosses are treated as prime evils.

 

All monster types are used during map generation

=== Tier 4 (Dungeons) ===

Dungeons have a zone level of 90

 

Dungeon monsters grant 200% more experience, have 75% curse reduction, and are treated as prime evils.

 

Dungeons each use the same pool of monster types, of which 7 are chosen from the 8 possibilities during map generation. Common monster types: Gloam, Misshapen, Succubus, Unholy Corpse, Death Lord, Huntress, Night Lord, Blood Bringer

 

Blood Bringers move slowly and deal "lethal damage" - beware!

 

Most immunities of dungeon enemies cannot be broken by conventional means since their resistances are so high - breaking 180% resistances requires combining multiple high level skills such as level 38 [[Conviction]] (-43%), level 37 [[Lower Resist]] (-23%), and level 36 [[Static Field]] (-15%)

 

Dungeon bosses each have a 1/20 chance to drop a [[Maps#Modification|Horadrim Scarab]] and a 1/1000 chance to drop exclusive unique items that otherwise can only be dropped by [[Monsters#Diablo-Clone|Diablo-Clone]] or [[Monsters#Rathma|Rathma]] ([[Overlord's Helm]], [[Dark Abyss]], [[Itherael's Path]], [[Hadriel's Hand]], [[Aidan's Scar]], [[The Third Eye]], [[Band of Skulls]], [[Cage of the Unsullied]])
