How People Beat The Atlas

Let's talk about the Atlas, once and for all. Explaining what the Leapfrog strategy is and why it works so you can apply it in any way shape or form that fits where you are in your Atlas progression. Further, I show how The Maven can be used to accelerate this process once we hit Awakening Level 4 / our first Sirus fight.

Interesting piece of infos about this obscure "equity system".

So, as you all might be able to tell, this is a different track than most of my videos in that it's not thoroughly explained and as new-player friendly as possible. It's more meant to be a run-through / high-level view on how the Atlas works, functional knowledge to get you through if that's all you're interested in or a foundation upon which to dig deeper. There are 3 minor things I wanted to correct:

-Chance to spawn Conqueror influence on your first 20 natural (Conqueror) Watchstones in a map that otherwise meets the region's requirements is 100%, not 50%. Specifically, once it starts taking more than 3 maps to spawn the Conqueror's Map, it's 50% chance to spawn one.

-Objective Bonus, the % chance to upgrade Map tiers that drop, don't bypass drop-level restrictions. So in my example I spoke about a T6 dropping a T9 - this won't happen unless a map drops as a T8 but is also Corrupted and gets upgraded that way. My mistake on this, but the core principle is the same in terms of Objective Bonus importance and Adjacent Map drop rules

-I misspoke on the Favorite system for maps. It's not 10% increased chance, it's 10x increased chance per Favorite-selection. So if you Favorite'd Atoll 3 times, it'd have a 30x chance of dropping over other maps. Sorry about that one.

Also, worth noting that the tiers of the maps Zana offers in her pool is based on your Map Completion (not Objective Bonus) total. It appears around 100 Completed (as in, boss killed) Maps she starts offering T15-16, but the exact threshold isn't known at this moment.

Sorry for any confusion. C'mon over to the Discord if you have any questions and remember - you can never brick your Atlas, you can only be more efficient about it. So if you're struggling, don't worry, we can figure it out.

what the name of the software you use to value the map at 10:53?

Not noob friendly, the wiki Atlas page is more helpful.

Im sorry mate.. but you didnt explain the strategy.. you just give us a recipe.
I still dont know why you would put only one watchstone and store the others.. you didnt explain.
You didnt explain why you should store the watchstones until you have two.. or what is the reason behind it.. or why put them in an adjacent zone.. none of that was explained..
You gave a recipe...
1.- Put one stone there.
2.-Wait until you have two stones
3.-Put now two stones there

why? never mentioning why... You didnt explained why the strategy Im no one to give suggestions about how you do your videos obviously but Ill recommend that next time you try to create a video where I dont need to replicate step by step what you did... but where I can understand all the concept and the reasoning behind all the decisions that you are taking...
Best of luck
