Hmm maybe when we put map into map device show us those additional options to choose - why we have to talk with Zana/Einhar etc.

Because in that case you will be able to add mods to map with master.

This might be an interesting change but is anyone else reading this as:
-you will get less sulphite from now on
-you will have fewer chances to unveil the mods you need
-you might be forced to do a master on white maps because too many have accumulated and you can't get that master in red anymore (i reeeaaaaally, really hope this won't be the case because it will mess up high lvl mastermind and temple farming)

No. You will get more Sulphite.

1. The Niko you get randomly while mapping, you can skip if it is in a low quant map. It moves to the tracker. And then you can select the mission again and put in a high quant map (chisel, alch, vaal).

2. And now you can buy into a Sulphite ROTA (global 820) without Sulphite Scarab. Just need red Niko master missions and a map with >130 quant.

No, still same Master amount, as written in the news post. Also, whether you get unveil items or not, depends on your choices made on the Syndicate board.

Run red maps only for red master missions.

To get an 83 Temple now, halfway into the league, will be easier, as you accumulated some red master missions.

Keep track of the Incursion you ran (map level) and halfway through make sure you run some in a red lvl 83 map.

If POElab is accurate: https://www.poelab.com/incursion

The item level of a temple is based on the average of all tiers ran + 4. This only covers up to a maximum tier of map ran during the 11 incursions. So, if it was all tier 1’s that were ran, then it would be no higher than tier 1.

Tip

Run 10 T12 maps and 1 T16 map to get a T16 Temple

Great qol change!

Can we maybe get the ability to put legacy maps in the map tab?

Looks good at first sight.

Looks like nerf on second sight.

We have now more questions than answers.
Like

1. Is it 10% chance to meet master now on regular maps?
2. Whats about Zana inventory?
3. The mission number on the next day will be added based on last map you killed boss? So need to kill bosses? What about blight maps? There is no bosses I heard..
4. Can we transfer or trade missions from one master to another? Like, I know many not doing jun, or einhar, or alve, but gladly will do nico instead.
5. Can we sell missions to another players?
6. Mission tier act like before? We get red if killed red boss before tick?

i can already tell you 4 and 5 is a NO
question 3 about blight maps is stupid because masters spawn around the tier of you last map you did COMPLETE. Vaults of Atziri map also has no boss but you can complete it right?
question 6: yes, the master spawning system works the same for dailies.

If you encounter a syndicate and you wanna save it for later, but assassination Bois jump out and one of them gets themselves killed on your ability, are you then not gonna be able to save it? Or does it only count as triggered if you engage with the Betray/Execute mechanic?

Okay, so you make several accounts and then you use all of them to open up master missions for one account. Like Niko for example.

no... not abusable at all...

tx, it is very good.

Please don't force people to do white maps because we have accumulated missions, in order to get the missions in yellow or red maps. I'm not sure how it's going to look but this accumulative thing can be a pain if it starts stacking too early, i leave it for later and then after i moved on in map tiers, i have to go back because of these missions.


Appart from that, seems really cool!

I'm also interested to understand what makes missions spawn/increase counter and what map tier they will be available? Also, how it will be indicated that map is unavailable for selected tier?

If this this check is happening at completing a map, ie. killing its boss or clearing 60% of monsters, it might be determined by the map you are running--if you run red map, missions will be available for red maps.

White master missions are not a huge problem as you can later run them with shaped Zana mod, which is 2 chaos in Legion. If it works in 3.8, you can use tier 5 map and shape it to 10 for 2 Chaos. This is absolutely worth it for Zana, Einhar, Nico or Alva. If this is not available in 3.8 (it definitely works in 3.7) that would be annoying as you will have a lot of missions from league start that will be obsolete later.

I like this QOL change... thanks GGG.
No longer the feeling of missing out on the daily missions on a very busy (real life) day. Also more freedom to choose when and where to use the master missions... Good Stuff!!

Love these changes, especially for the temples, no more wasted Alva's !

Also 90 free missions from every master at the end of every league in the permanent leagues ! Could be fun for some chain temple double corrupting and stuffs.
