PoE Voidstones Guide: Basics, Impact and How to Get?

Path of Exile players, be ready! Wraeclast is abuzz with the mystifying Voidstones, and it is time that we unravel the mystery behind these arcane artifacts which leave people scratching their heads in confusion or searching for answers in Atlas. This guide will help you find your way through the complex world of Voidstones.



What Are Voidstones in Path of Exile?

Voidstones are not your average stones. They are powerful quest items that determine how you shape your endgame experience by customizing your Atlas. Here's a quick rundown:

  1. Atlas Amplifiers: Each Voidstone increases the tier of maps on your Atlas, with the first one adding three tiers while the others add four more.
  2. Cap It Off: However, Voidstones' tier has a cap of 16. So even if you think "Tier 18," hard cap says "Nice try, but it's Tier 16".
  3. Future-Proof: However, this only applies to any loot map after you have equipped them and not any retroactive magic stuff.
  4. Take a Break: Do you want to calm things down? You may take away any of these from your Atlas and put them in a nice corner until you decide to bring back some action.


How Do You Get Your Hands on Voidstones?

Now let us get into how we can acquire these mystical rocks which are the core of this guide. There are four bosses who stand between you and it including Searing Exarch, Eater of Worlds, Maven and Uber Elder so let us go through it.


The First Steps: Searing Exarch & Eater of Worlds

These two act as an access point to your first pair of void stones hence they are relatively easier to reach out for; here is what needs to be done:

  • Upgrade Your Map Device: Once tier 6 maps come along, this upgrade becomes available.
  • Maven's Gaze: Use an invitation device to invite Maven to your boss's battles.
  • Breadcrumb Quests: On the other hand, follow the Envoy’s quests starting from tier 8 maps going up.
  • Mini-Boss Intermission: After tier 11 maps you will either face Infinite Hunger or Black Star mini-boss.
  • Final Showdown: Do a level 16 map and receive a fight invitation which could be Searing Exarch or Eater of Worlds for your first couple of voidstones.


The Maven & Uber Elder: A Heavier Lift

These are more challenging encounters that require extra preparation:

  • Maven's Crucible: Participate in level 83 Maven Arenas, or special fights such as all four Shaper Guardians at once.
  • Crescent Splinters: Collect these from Maven encounters to gain access to her arena.
  • Uber Elder: Defeat both Shaper and Elder Guardians to collect fragments for this challenging encounter.


Additional Tips & Tricks

  • Destructive Play Keystone: The presence of this keystone in the Atlas can greatly speed up how you get to Maven and Uber Elder encounters.
  • Orb of Horizons: Must-have when collecting Shaper Guardian maps.
  • Harvest Crafting: When everything else fails, use it as a last resort on unwanted fragments in order to get what you need.


Final Thoughts

Voidstones ensure that your Atlas adventures become different by offering a customizable end game experience which can be exhilarating as well as frightening. Take note of every step in the missions, brace yourself for tough fights, and most importantly enjoy the journey.
