Materials

Craft and trade in a protection zone, outside combat. Materials must be in your inventory when paying a cost. Crafted materials, salvage Dust, bought/cancelled maps and sale proceeds are delivered to your inbox. Move them into your backpack before use.

Material	Use	Recipe for one
Cartographic Dust	Main cartography currency	World drops, successful runs or salvaging maps.
Surveyor's Ink	Reroll modifiers or add one	8 Dust + 50,000 gold
Ascension Compass	Change layout, upgrade rarity or ascend	20 Dust + 150,000 gold
Preservation Wax	Lock a modifier and preserve locks during rerolls	12 Dust + 100,000 gold
Abyssal Seal	Permanently seal a qualifying map	40 Dust + 300,000 gold

Crafting operations

Gold scales with the input map's tier. Multiply the gold column by 1 for Normal, 2 Hard, 3 Expert, 4 Master, 5 Torment or 6 Hell. Dust and material amounts stay as listed. Material recipes above have their own fixed price. The client shows the final cost before you act.

Operation	Materials / items	Base gold	Result
Reroll affix families	6 Dust + 1 Ink	100,000	Preserves locked modifiers; rerolls the remaining families and fills all rarity slots.
Reroll values	4 Dust + 1 Ink	75,000	Keeps families and their rolled elements; rerolls unlocked values.
Reroll layout	4 Dust + 1 Compass	50,000	Always changes to one of the other 14 routes. Keeps dungeon, tier, rarity, modifiers and locks.
Add an affix	8 Dust + 1 Ink	150,000	Adds one compatible modifier to an empty slot.
Upgrade rarity	15 Dust + 1 Compass	250,000	Raises rarity by one step, keeps existing modifiers and fills up to one below the new slot capacity.
Scour map	2 Dust	25,000	Returns it to Plain and removes modifiers. Unlock affixes first.
Seal map	20 Dust + 1 Seal	500,000	Master+ and Rare/Exalted only. Random permanent contract; confirmation required.
Lock affix	1 Wax	50,000	Preserves the selected affix; maximum two different locks.
Unlock affix	Free	0	Removes a selected lock.
Salvage map	Consumes the map	0	Dust = tier number × (2 + rarity number); result goes to inbox. Confirmation required.
Ascend maps	30 Dust + 2 Compasses + 3 maps	500,000	Three unlocked, unsealed maps of the same dungeon and tier become one Plain map of the next tier, with a random layout. Hell cannot ascend.

Locks cost Wax on each reroll. Reroll affix families and Reroll values cost one additional Wax per locked modifier. The initial lock fee does not cover future rerolls. Reroll layout does not charge that lock surcharge.

Choose the right operation

• I like the modifiers, but not the route: Reroll layout.
• I like the families, but want stronger rolls: Reroll values. A new value can be worse, equal or better; it is not a guaranteed upgrade.
• I want to preserve one or two good modifiers: Lock those, then reroll families/values and budget extra Wax.
• I need more slots: Upgrade rarity. Plain → Inscribed leaves one modifier; Inscribed → Rare fills to three; Rare → Exalted fills to five. Add an affix to fill the last slot.
• The roll does not fit my build: Reroll while unsealed, scour to Plain, sell or salvage it.
• I have three spare maps: Ascend only if they belong to the same dungeon and tier. The output loses rarity and modifiers; it does not unlock entry to the new tier.
• I want a sealed challenge: Finish the roll first. Sealed maps cannot be upgraded, rerolled, unlocked, scoured or ascended. There is no unseal operation.
