Tablets

This setup farms Precursor Tablets while moving quickly through maps. It pairs well with Lineage farming because Jado reveals map information faster while you are already running maps.

Choose Jado as the Atlas Master. These points help further juice your maps while also making it easier to navigate through the Atlas faster. They add value to corrupted Waystones, help reveal Anomaly Maps, improve Tablet modifier effect, and add extra map outcomes from powerful bosses.

Allocate:

Jado pointEffect
Unexpected MissionsCorrupted Waystones open Maps with 1 additional random modifier, and corrupted Waystones open a random map area when used on Basic Maps.
Unforeseen ThreatsCompleting Maps has a 5% chance to reveal a nearby Anomaly Map.
Partial TranslationsRandomly gain between 0% and 40% increased effect of explicit modifiers on Tablets.
Ancient ActivationsPowerful Map Bosses have a 5% chance to add Ancient Modifiers to a nearby Map.

Use the Atlas tree to support the mechanics you want to see and convert into Tablet drops.

RitualRitual investment is not needed for this strategy.

For the highest Tablet focus, set History of the Faridun to make Faridun Cities count as Mountain Areas, then set Mountain Mastery to increased Quantity of Tablets found. This lets Faridun Cities use the City fourth-Tablet setup while also benefiting from the Mountain Tablet bonus.

Use this only when you specifically want to spend Cities on Tablet farming. Cities are valuable for other farms too, so this is an optional max-investment variant rather than the default pathing loop.

Use Irradiated Tablets with Increased Quantity of Waystones found in Map and increased Effectiveness.

Fourth Tablet on City mapsIrradiated Tablet with the same modifier prioritiesBest on Faridun Cities counted as Mountain Areas when Mountain Mastery is set to Tablets.

The trick is to farm content that you are not currently forcing with its own Tablet. For example, if you are running only Irradiated Tablets and find an Abyss naturally, that Abyss has a much higher chance to drop Abyss Tablets than it would if you were already using Abyss Tablets.

Use corrupted Tier 15 Waystones. The goal is not to fully clear every map; the goal is to run enough maps quickly that you see many mechanics and pick up many Tablets along the way. For crafting setup, see Waystones.

Prioritize Waystones with Waystones Found and Monster Effectiveness reward lines. This keeps map sustain high while making natural mechanics more valuable.

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.

Run corrupted Waystones because they interact with Jado’s Unexpected Missions point, which gives corrupted Waystones an additional random map modifier and makes corrupted Waystones open a random map area when used on Basic Maps.

BiomeWhy it matters
MountainBest target when Mountain Mastery is specced to Tablets. Mountain maps can drop 50% more Tablets.
Faridun Cities counted as MountainOptional max setup. Combines the fourth Tablet from City maps with the Mountain Mastery Tablet bonus.
Other fast layoutsStill usable when pathing between objectives. Prioritize speed and mechanics on the route over forcing bad maps.

Player rarity matters for this strategy. In testing, around 102% rarity often produced 0 to 1 Tablets per run. After switching to 160%+ rarity, the same strategy started producing closer to 3 to 4 Tablets per run.

Treat those numbers as a practical reference point, not a fixed drop-rate promise. The main takeaway is that Tablet farming feels much better once the character has enough rarity on gear.

Head straight to the boss and only stop for mechanics that are on the way. Below are the requirements needed to receive a Tablet from each mechanic when you do encounter it.

MechanicWhat to do
AbyssClear the Abyss encounter.
BreachComplete the Breach.
RitualKill the monsters near the Ritual. You do not need to activate or complete the Ritual.
TempleClear the Temple encounter and loot the chest.
DeliriumComplete the Delirium encounter by killing the Delirium boss.
ExpeditionPlace explosives on the big red flags for chances at logbooks.
LootNotes
TabletsPrimary target. With enough player rarity, recent testing moved from 0 to 1 Tablets per run at about 102% rarity to closer to 3 to 4 Tablets per run at 160%+ rarity.
Raw Divine OrbsIncreased Effectiveness can juice map returns enough to see raw Divine Orb drops. Treat these as upside, not a guaranteed per-map return.
WaystonesExpect roughly 3 to 5 Waystones per map. Extra Tier 15 Waystones can feed the Waystones corruption strategy.
Anomaly MapsJado can reveal nearby Anomaly Maps while you complete maps. Run those Anomaly Maps when you want to move into fragment farming.
