Harbinger's Orb

Harbinger's Orb is a currency item that can be used to reforge a map into another map of one tier higher

Item acquisition

Harbinger's Shards can be found as a drop from Harbingers. Harbinger's Orb is created exclusively from combining shards. In addition, Harbinger's Orbs can also be found in an Immortal Syndicate Fortification safehouse if Cameria is placed there. There are other mechanics that drop drop-restricted item like Harbinger's Orb, such as Harbinger chest of Heist and Grand Heist.

Spending

This orb will transform a map item into another map item of one tier higher. Any rarity and quality the map had will be retained, but its base item type and explicit modifiers (in the case of magic or higher rarity) will be rerolled. A Harbinger's Orb doesn't obey the player's Atlas of Worlds rules, which means that the resulting map may not be unlocked yet.

There is a small chance it transforms the map into The Beachhead instead. The resulting Beachhead depends on the tier of the original map.

Reward statistics

Based on streamer's video, out of 500 Harbinger's Orbs on T16 maps, 85 or 17% maps are turned into The Beachhead.1
