Path of Exile 2: Towers and Path of Exile 2 Currency Tablets Guide

Juice your endgame Maps with Precursor Tablets and strategic Tower usage.

Path of Exile 2 introduces a fresh twist to the endgame Atlas system with Towers and Precursor Tablets, offering players new ways to push their Maps further with increased difficulty, density, and, most importantly, reward. These systems allow players to strategically enhance surrounding Waystones (Maps) by completing nearby Towers and placing powerful Precursor Tablets inside.

This guide explains how Towers work, how to use Precursor Tablets, and how to find the most efficient setup to maximize Path of Exile 2 Currency and your loot potential.

What Are Towers in PoE 2?

Towers are special structures within the Atlas of Worlds that act as enhanced mapping nodes. You'll begin seeing them after finishing the campaign and entering the endgame. They rise out of the fog of war and can be accessed by completing adjacent Waystones (aka Maps).

Once a Tower is reached and completed, it can be infused with Precursor Tablets, which then affect all Maps (Waystones) within its range.

Tower Layouts and Types

Just like standard Maps, Towers come in various layouts. Each Tower culminates in the activation of a Precursor Beacon, which unlocks Tablet slots.

Current Tower Types:

Bluff

Lost Towers

Mesa

Sinking Spire

Alpine Ridge

While layout themes vary, the primary objective remains the same: reach the end and activate the Beacon.

Tablet Slots and Waystone Modifiers

The number of Tablet Slots you unlock after completing a Tower depends on the number of modifiers on the Waystone you used to enter the Tower.

0-2 Modifiers: 1 Tablet Slot

3-5 Modifiers: 2 Tablet Slots

6+ Modifiers: 3 Tablet Slots

Additionally, higher-tier Waystones amplify the effects of Tablets. By Tier 15, Tablet effects double, which can result in something like:

An Expedition Tablet that would add 18 nodes will now add 36 Expeditions to nearby Maps.

Precursor Tablets Explained

Once you've completed a Tower and unlocked Tablet slots, you can insert Precursor Tablets into those slots. These tablets apply powerful effects to all surrounding Waystones within the Tower's range.

Hovering over a Tower on the Atlas reveals its area of influence.
