List of Contents

How to Farm Breachstones

Collect Breach Splinters

You can farm Breachstones by stocking up on Breach Splinters. This is an item that can be combined into Breachstones once you have enough of them.

Breach Splinters are dropped by enemies from Breaches using Tier 11 Waystones and up. There are some instances where combining Breach Splinters included in a stash will bug out. You can simply put all 300 Breach Stones in your inventory to fix this.

How to Get Breach Splinters

Upgrade the Atlas Tree

Certain nodes on the Atlas Tree will help make farming more efficient since they will improve drop rates or increase monster density.

Unlocking the Local Knowledge node is worth noting as it will adjust the drop rate for Currency items like Breach Splinters while in Grass Biomes.
