Running rituals is so freaking frustrating. Cleared 4 rituals and still 100 tribute short of deferring. This was the first "good" omen after spending 5 hours

It's just a middle finger to the players who spent nearly 24 divs on the invitation, spent hours of planning and grinding, using T16 to maintain ilvl80, and this is the fruition of your effort.

Would have respecing your ritual atlas to reduced defer cost have had fixed this situation? Rituals are very rng, some days it’s good some days it’s bad

This definitely sucks. Don't get me wrong.

But as the other person commented, are you running the reduced deferral cost? Are you still running the "guaranteed" 4 rituals? That one is complete bait.

Ritual is so rippy in terms of direct profit. I will hit nothing for my entire 6-8 hour session and then my last literal map (or the first couple of my session) I will hit the good omens and multiple invites. It's really crazy.

Best of luck man.

You probably have 4/4 ritual points which is massive trap and people are running with it and losing items.

If you take double wildsomething monsters you will get sometimes 1000-2000 ritual points from first ritual with least amount of monsters if you have some pack size or distill with pack size.

With pack size and that point I can go up to 12-13k ritual points from 3-4 rituals.

Just saw a post where a guy ran like 500 maps and not a single good omen showed up

Jumping on to ask about rituals: if I kill more monsters in the circle before starting the ritual, do I get more spawns during and thus higher tribute?

I've done like 1000 rituals by now.

Always pick maps with Adds additional packs of xxx mobs. Increase number of monster packs. Increase pack size

Any mixture of those 3 even if just 1 + the ritual atlas that adds wild mobs in ritual will usually get you around 4k+ if not more.

If something extremely expensive comes out defer it and change the wild mobs to the reduced deferral point use that till you can afford then change it back.

The biggest reason to run the wild mobs node is not even for more ritual points. It's to drop tablets. If you don't care about tablets, running deferral 24/7 will give you double the buying power at all times. You should care about tablets tho because some are worth 2-8 div alone.

4 rituals point is garbage. Even without it you get 4 rituals most of the time. It's way better to have either of the two I listed instead.

I literally just posted the same, 20 divine item that I cannot pick up or defer.

People forget that PoE2 is in an early access. Not a fully developed game. Has no sense tryhard and got mad for a game not finished.

Im guessing your atlas points are not set up correctly for ritual farming

Purple omens are supposed to be unreachable without talents.

The tree. You need points in the tree.

I find the log books far more frustrating. I've done around 18 Expedition log books level 75 or 80, and I still haven't seen the boss once.

Seems like you're not running pack size deli on your map either, that will make the difference.

You should have been able to defer it.

Don’t defer anything that’s not a high priced omen or an audience with the king.

Dont even reroll if you don’t have enough to defer something.

I defer audiences for like 400 tribute maaaybe you did something else wrong here.

Don’t spend any tribute until you have all the rituals done.

The end game requires you to min max as much as possible or everything takes way longer

Gotta run packsize maps and additonal monster packs.

1. wrong talents, you need to have 2 on the sides + omen/invitation bonus

2. you really want to run maps with %increased pack size + %increased pack size delirium implicit

3. you have to be picky about the order of the ritual pylons: leave the empty ones till later, clear the ones that seem to have lots of mobs in it first

4. run a -15% reroll cost modifier on a tablet, literally just 1 tablet. Anything more than that is not worth it.

RItual sucks, btw.

just run the map with #% pack size. then distilled with another pack size. this should save your run. just make sure the map is not Crypt.

I haven't looked into it but di they work like they used too when you had to run around the map loading them up with blood before activating the 1st one?

This describes the entire endgame at the moment. “Ran 1000 hours, saw 1-2 good things” so coooool lol. Playing poe2 has made me hate poe2.
