PoE 2 Waystone & Tablet Crafting: Roll Better Maps
In Path of Exile 2, waystones and tablets decide how juicy your maps are. Here's how their mods work, what to roll for, and how to automate the rolling.
In Path of Exile 2, your waystones (and the tablets that buff a region) are the equivalent of PoE 1's maps — and how you roll them directly controls your loot and XP per map. Good waystone rolling is one of the highest-ROI habits in the endgame. Here's the short version, and how Exiled Bench 2 automates it.
What you're rolling for
Waystones carry mods that boost rewards and mods that add danger. The reward mods are what you want:
- Increased Rarity / Quantity of Items — the core loot multipliers.
- Increased Pack Size / more monsters — more kills, more drops, more XP.
- Increased Magic/Rare monster mods — more rare packs = more targeted loot.
The danger mods (extra monster damage/resistances, player debuffs) are the tax. As with PoE 1 maps, the goal is high reward mods, none of the danger mods your build can't handle.
Tablets apply region-wide bonuses (rarity, pack size, mechanic-specific boosts) — roll them the same way: maximise the bonus you care about.
The threshold mindset
You don't read every mod — you set thresholds:
- Rarity ≥ your minimum, Pack Size ≥ your minimum.
- No forbidden mods (the ones that brick the run for your build).
If a waystone clears your thresholds and has none of your forbidden mods, run it.
Automating it with Exiled Bench 2
The waystone/tablet rolling mode is built for exactly this:
- Set your reward thresholds and forbidden mods.
- Choose your rolling currency and press start.
- It rolls each waystone/tablet, reads the result, and stops when it clears every condition — then move to the next.
Because PoE 2's mod pool is entirely different from PoE 1's, EB2 ships its own PoE 2-native mod database so the targeting is accurate to the game you're actually playing. It rolls with human-like timing (see the Safety page).
Tips
- Tier up safely. Waystone-tier mods raise difficulty and reward — push tier as your build allows.
- Batch a stack. Roll a whole stash of waystones to your thresholds in one go and bank the good ones.
- Match tablets to your farm. Roll the region bonus that amplifies whatever mechanic you're running.
Rolling waystones and tablets by hand is the same tax PoE 1 players pay on maps — set your thresholds once and let it run. See what Exiled Bench 2 covers, or get access.
