Shaper’s Orb is a non-tradable consumable currency item that can be used to upgrade a map into a “Shaped” map to drop which are 5 tiers higher than their regular counterpart. Subsequently that increases the difficult and experience gained from slain monsters and item level of their drops. Atlas progress and map shaping is tracked separately for each league, and shared between all characters in that league.
Shaper’s Orbs are used to upgrade lower tier maps whose layout or bosses a player may find accessible but whose drops and experience gains wouldn’t otherwise be attractive.
Note that Shaper’s Orbs don’t add Increased Item Rarity or Increased Item Quantity to that map. unique maps can’t be shaped.
Shaped Bog Map, Shaped Coral Ruins Map, Shaped Villa Map, Shaped Plateau Map, and Shaped Temple Map are the best shaped maps, which worth at least 7 Chaos Orbs.

Players acquire Shaper’s Orbs by collecting Memory Fragments and giving them to Zana. Memory Fragments are found by killing the bosses of Elder-influenced maps circled in purple on the Atlas. To acquire the final five Memory Fragments, you must defeat the four Elder Guardians with the Elder occupying a red-tier map, then defeat the Elder.
One Elder’s Orb can be obtained from the Epilogue quest after collecting all 15 Memory Fragments and defeating the Shaper. It upgrades a map of any tier into a tier 16 map.
