[poes]

Some maps drop something called a shaper’s poe orbs. A shaper’s orb upgrades a map by adding 5 tiers. So orbing a tier 5 “Mesa” map turns it into a tier 10 “Shaped Mesa” map. It has the same layout and boss, but is now filled with high level monsters and loot equivalent to other tier 10’s. It is effectively a tier 10 now. Choose low level maps you enjoy and shape them to continue running them at higher tiers, and perhaps instead of the “natural” maps at those tiers.

Generally speaking, this means shaped maps are superior to run, because they are directly adjacent to low level maps poe currency purchase that aren’t competing with your high level maps. For instance, say you dislike all of the natural tier 15 maps. To avoid finding and therefore having to run them, you choose not to complete them on your Atlas. Unfortunately, if you want to avoid finding these maps, you also have to avoid running the tier 14 maps that are adjacent to them on the Atlas. If you want to avoid finding/running those tier 14s, you will have to avoid running the tier 13s they’re adjacent to, etc.

Unfortunately, to get shaper’s poe orbs from tier 11-16 maps, you will have to complete those maps first, adding them to your pool. Eventually, remove them with an item called a Master Cartographer’s Seal. Seals are expensive, and until you can afford it, just deal with running those maps.
