How to get Precursor Tablets
- Precursor Tablets drop while mapping, and running content boosted by a Tablet tends to drop more Tablets of that mechanic — the system is self-reinforcing.
- Tablets for specific mechanics (Breach, Ritual, Delirium, Expedition and more) trade on the market, so you can buy directly into the content you want to farm.
