27-One of the rewards you might find while fighting monsters from Breach are tablets. Tablets are special items that can be used with precursor towers
28-to add more encounters to the Atlas. Breaches will drop Breach tablets. Clicking on a completed tower will allow you to consume the tablet
29-to add more Breaches to the area within the range of the tower. This makes all content in the Atlas self-sustaining.
28+One of the rewards you can buy with tribute are Omens.
29+These are special items that allow for meta crafting: crafting items that affect other crafting items.

38-or even monster density of Breaches, allowing you to keep them open for longer. Often you will find multiple towers near to each other
39-with overlapping areas of effect. This can allow you to really juice the mechanic by stacking the mods from multiple tablets.

84-but there are many more threats in Wraeclast.
