IMPORTANT EDIT: it was brought to my attention that you may need at least 6000 Tribute after rerolling favour, not 3000 as I said in the video! Thanks for the correction! Also you can lure bosses inside altar circles and they will be respawned.
You shouldn't save any Tribute if you want to maximize profits. Tribute is a resource that is lost at the end of the map and a random window is just a random window. It might feel bad if you see a mirror in a random window and you don't have enough tribute, but you haven't actually lost anything.
@@Exosta On another note: in about 10-20 maps my Glacier didn't result in a single altar spawn on the boss. Whereas City Square has been over 50-70% of the time, with the ability to drag the boss all the way over. I also noticed that your trade searches for the blood-filled vessels are no longer valid; I can't seem to buy them anywhere except on the TFT discord on which they are over 25 chaos each.
For some reason, I never even thought of using multiple blood-vessels on a single map for the extra juice stacking. Thanks for the video. Even though I don't play trade, I want to make use of Ritual more for the socket/link omens and fractured/synth bases in SSF.
Nice Overview and also a pretty good showcase how to use Vessels. However I'm into Doing Rituals in City Square Maps (did about 400 now) and I can definately tell you, you CAN pull the boss into a nearby Ritual in order to get more Tribute, even if there was no Ritual on the Boss-Space. Same goes for Delirium Bosses (Kosis/Omniphobia). So I would definately double-check what you said in the Video, that it's only possible to get Tribute for the Mobs that were already in the Ritual Space.

very good presentation. Going to take a few reviews to completely digest everything. one wish and few questions. Would be nice to have a worksheet in a "Dark Mode" option. The mechanic of the blood filled vessels is glossed over. If you defer the splinters until phase 2, how do you get vessels to fill in phase 1? How many vessels is enough for phase 2? Or do you buy splinters during phase 1 until you have X stored tribute filled vessels.
Simply put, you start phase 1 with zero vessels from scratch, then you start farming some (you can get easily more than 1 per map, often times 2). Sustaining them in phase 1 is trivial
TIL - tribute is not saved across maps, or is it use it or loose it. So defer/ buy splinters with last tribute. I think this is where I missed the ball. Spending the tribute does not effect collecting the blood

Good video! Do you know if legion monsters will appear when you activate a ritual even if the legion was never popped? I assume you have to actually do the legion but did you test this?
Great video.I cant really go to phase 2, coz i kinda get all items with defering.but this is how i run the maps - just roll City Square for map have 2 bosses. no 8 mods or so.I removed legion and took deli on the tree.kill the bosses in the ritual = 16-20k tribute every map.
@@Exosta true.but i decide that 4c for vessel is cheap enough at this point.so i deffer only stacks for 50 + and i deferer them again on the reroll and so on.maybe i didnt got the idea quite well.. :) but trully great guide and video.Bravo
technically breach monster are present in the circle when you open the map they're just invisible , you can tell they're pre spawned sometimes when you see a weird partially transparent spot on the map (it's a breach boss) that being said i don't think they respawn in ritual regardless
2:45 well, I can lure the spider from toxic sewer to the circle and it counts for blood vessel but not sure if it counts for tribute, but she respawns throughout all other rituals
A couple of things I found myself and from different sources: 1. Always rush the boss, since if there's an altar spawn with the boss it will give significantly more tribute for this map 2. There seems to be a limitation on how many extra enemies can be captured by the ritual, that's maybe why sometimes the boss does not always spawn with the later ritual as it might get overwritten by other minions(Need more tries but that's my experience so far) 3. There's a moving blue ring spawn with every altar, stay in the ring and see it becomes golden. Some say it increases the tribute but I couldn't feel a significant difference 4. Maybe not good idea to have Singular Focus, as it would block non-favourite T16 map drops, and those could turn into T17 maps by Voidstones. Have 12 favourite spots for Glacier should mostly be fine for map sustain, also T16 maps are dirt cheap already
I agree on almost everything you said. Rushing the Boss is very important. You need to activate the juiciest Altars first. As for the number of monsters from the Altars, it is indeed very limited and RNG-gated. In fact, the Blood-Filled Vessels provide more Tribute than normal Ritual because they have 20% more maximum monsters alive! As for the Ritual Scarab of Wisp I experimented with my positioning. I had a vague impression that if I stand inside the Wildwood Circles I get more Tribute, but visibility isn't that great and tbh I am very unsure about how this works. I agree that maybe Singular Focus is too much. I almost always leave it up because I really like to experiment a lot and often times I don't complete Maps when I record videos, so my sustain is very bad.
@@Exosta standing inside the circle from Ritual Scarab of Wisps makes a huge difference, you get 70% increased tribute while in the circle. I tested some botched runs where I didn't spec into shrines and the monster numbers were really small. The difference was like 5-7k tribute without the scarab to 10-12k with it. The only problem is that you can't see the damn thing most of the time and it likes to jump away when you get inside it. I died many times while trying to spin around the ritual and find the circle. I think it would've been better if the circle itself empowered the monsters like the wildwood mechanic does so you could just hit them and not have to play the annoying minigame of finding the circle all the time (that's also how many people including me expected it to work when reading it the first time). It's the only thing keeping me from fully enjoying RItual.
@@simioncristian7799 yes, there is a small icon on top left of the screen that signals you that you are inside the circle! I discovered that after the video unfortunately
@@Exosta "Amazing video! Explained to the very detail. Loved it. Just wondering what TS build your running there, would you be kind to drop POB? Keep up the good work!"
This might be a dumb question but are monsters listed in any particular order on the blood-vessel? Sometimes I have one generate on the last alter and even though there were a bunch of unique monsters in the encounters they often come with none mentioned at the top whereas others will list them. In the case that there are none, are they still worth using for the buff? Because, imma be real, I've tossed the blanks. :3 Also, I've noticed that the drop rewards seem to deplete over the course of the encounters when it comes to unique mobs. Is this just RNG doing its thing or do the diminishing returns of their tribute also impact their loot table? IE: I run T8 Twinned City Square ritual a lot in SSF since I am not jacked and the first couple of alters with the bosses it's unique city but by the last one it's pretty bare bones.
@@pommes3501 thank you! cause you rarely can buy all, unless you avoid deferring splinters and you buy them on market, but i prefer to sustain them myseld
The gold isn't bad. It is prob better than the passive gold from some of other strats since you get the mob gold and then the ritual itself will drop additional gold when completed. I get roughly 15k-20k per map. I am running 8 mod maps, the 3 cheaper ritual scarabs, 1 elder influence scarab, eater of worlds, and 1 domination scarab.
12:09 but sometimes you get random reward with 0 tribute cost(free), and its allways in bottom right. its moved from left top(divine orb for example) to right bottom. is it mean if you have more rewards ritual window can have - you can lost ur divines\mirror\some sweets coz of it?
This is a very good point you raised there. That is why I looted very few 0 cost items. This is a 1.25% chance for the reward to be free, which is really a small chance. I also think that the value you get by using 2x Ritual Scarab of Abundance far exceeds the possible loss derived from those 0 cost items being lost.
It seemed to me that any item could be 0 cost, regardless of position... I am pretty sure I already got 0 cost jewels that were right in the middle of the window.
I looked through the MF Academy Strategy Guide, I couldn't find your Atlas tree build. There is only a POE planner link with no nodes leveled. Which tab is it under?
3:20 can you explain what you do with shrines like how it works? Do you ativate shrines kill monsters than open ritual? Same with legion how it works? Is opening ritual order matter and how so?
You first kill the monsters from Shrines and Legion, and if they are were spawned inside the Ritual circle they will be respawned by the Ritual as well
Did you test legion and ritual yourself? Im pretty sure there was a changelog way back in the days saying this interaction was fixed and i recall i tested it like 2 leagues back and i didnt managed to get any legion monsters into ritual.
Can you recommend good HH builds that don't take much to get going (I can craft what I need until endgame upgrades). I have my HH and currently running a home-brewed slam chieftain and it's great and tanky but GOD I hate constantly pressing warcries
Hello there i actually farmed the ritual this past few days i do it city Square map some times i don't spawn ritual in boss but i tried to lure it to the ritual besides the boss and got significant boost in the favor actually i also put ritual vessel to the first finished ritual with the lured boss and i captured them in the vessel i don't know but when i did that with out luring them i got significantly lower tributes but when i lure them they spawn and i got more tribute
This is the second report I get of this behavior, which is really interesting. I still think that luring Bosses takes a bit of time but that's a cool finding
@@Exosta I also run city square and when i lure boss to ritual and kill it in ritual circle it guarantees spawn 100% times (did 50+ map) after i start that ritual . And then it sometimes spawn on 2nd ritual and sometimes even on 3rd one. But when i dont lure bosses it spawn in ritual maybe only 25-50% times. So this is established fact that luring boss guarantees spawn in 1st ritual cause i ran 50 maps with luring and it spawned all 50 times.
12:15 that is wrong , the extra items you get with almost no tribute cost , those that appear at the bottom rigth(sometimes cost 0 tribute ) can be expensive , i found a stack of 5 div for 0 cost at bottom left , and i also find a kalandra´s toouch in that place too , looks like the extra items you get from all the scarabs/atlas passives are just shuffled into the tab
Yes the sentence was not correct because I did not think of the 0 cost possibility. I still think that maximg Ritual Scarab of Abundance has more value than the value you may lose from some 0 cost items that fall out of the window
Well, very intresting. Ill be blunt for a bit. You have an heavy accent for example, 'respawning' thats not how you prenounce it at all. However due to the context and also the illustrations on the screen i dont have to rewind to figure out what you are saying. This keeps the flow in the presentation which is very important to retain attantion and well simply put i subsribed. Great information as well!
Ritual vessel with more Monsters make difference in The quality of The itens that appear in ritual? Or is Just a matter of having enought favors to buy more?
Sadly my game crashes when I try to do a ritual with 4 blood filled vessel. Like not even error "The Game stopped working" messeage it just freeze and close itself.
@@Exosta ritual specific fliter which focus on highlighting good synthesis bases with +1 charges and other high value items will be insanely op. will save so much time than checking most of the items one by one. I think it will reduce map time by almost 30-40% .
Why do you need expensive gear to farm rituals? You can get very good gear on standard for very cheap, it's only the truly broken stuff that's really expensive.
so considering scarab of abundance have shot up to 2 for 1d in std, do you think its worth buying at that price? I am finding that i am sort of losing currency as i cant keep up with the current scarab prices for this strat right now
Should I defer the items I already reserved or save tribute for the item next window. Example I have 5 splinters already in reserve in the first window with no valuable items, do I defer them again or reroll and reserve the it for the possible items on the next window. or I keep deferring them as much as i can?
Hi Exosta, why when I use domination on the map device, the rituals don't appear on the map? I have skill three of rituals, I also have scarabs, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Do i need a high clearspeed build for that strat? becaus i am playing a firestorm build, and normaly i would not use legion, but if i only have to clear legion monsters near and in the circle it would be ok.
I'm not so sure about the kiting monsters into the ritual not respawning... I run City Square and whenever there is no ritual on top of the bosses I kite them into the nearest ritual and they do respawn.
I am skeptical about this, I think it is hard to perform. I tried to the same with Delirium Bosses and they were not respawned. However it is possible that map bosses work differently!
@@Exosta I've been doing it for quite some time, haven't run much deli to test with deli bosses though edit: Just tried it again to make sure and it definitely works with the 3 map bosses
So in phase one, we defer itens everytime they show up? When the ritual doesn't spawn in the boss room i get very low amount of tribute, something like 6 to 8 k and deferring can get very costly, what to do in this case?
6-8k seems pretty low, I think you might be doing something wrong, always start activating the juicest ritual first. For me is very rare to have less than 10k tribute to spend. That said, you should stop deferring and start phase 2 based on how comfortable you feel while keeping deferring. If you suspect you can't have around 5k tribute after the last reroll you should have already switched to phase 2. You really need to have "a feeling" for it. Experience makes perfect
@@RyanPalmer-fb8nn i have not said that. I said the shrines and legions are mostly in the second part of the map, not the ritual. Those are usually 50 59
Is there something I am missing, I'm only getting 6~10k tributes while doing all the steps got 12k only one time and mostly 6k. There seems to be so little monsters in rituals I dont get it.
Arbitrary Tenets will increase prices up to double the initial price but it will reduce prices down to 1/5 of the initial price. Meaning the most expensive items will just more expensive, while the cheapest rolls will be dirt cheap.
@@oneoranota yep and when expensive item become more expensive it just more expensive and make no different when you cant even buy them in the first place but when it get cheaper oh boi it hit different :D

You can lure map bosses into the ritual area and they will appear and give tributtes. I use this in city square map to gurantee 3 bosses everytime.

You can also roll twinned map bosses for double the tribute for the map. There won't be two copies in the vessel though.

Good video! Do you know if legion monsters will appear when you activate a ritual even if the legion was never popped? I assume you have to actually do the legion but did you test this?
You must open the Legion before!
@@Exosta cheers :)
Great video.I cant really go to phase 2, coz i kinda get all items with defering.but this is how i run the maps - just roll City Square for map have 2 bosses. no 8 mods or so.I removed legion and took deli on the tree.kill the bosses in the ritual = 16-20k tribute every map.
@@AdraelKnight it really comes down to what you loot, if you include splinters i find it hard to sustain without going phase 2
@@Exosta true.but i decide that 4c for vessel is cheap enough at this point.so i deffer only stacks for 50 + and i deferer them again on the reroll and so on.maybe i didnt got the idea quite well.. :) but trully great guide and video.Bravo
@@AdraelKnight yes it is a good alternative, thank you again!
technically breach monster are present in the circle when you open the map they're just invisible , you can tell they're pre spawned sometimes when you see a weird partially transparent spot on the map (it's a breach boss) that being said i don't think they respawn in ritual regardless
@@deysiing7385 yes, that is true, but for whatever reason they dont respawn from altars, I tested many times
2:45 well, I can lure the spider from toxic sewer to the circle and it counts for blood vessel but not sure if it counts for tribute, but she respawns throughout all other rituals
Yes, bosses can be lured, only bosses!
i came here after losing out on a mageblood on my last favour reroll, Wish I'd watched this vid first!!
Sad, it is pretty common to do such mistakes :(
A couple of things I found myself and from different sources:
1. Always rush the boss, since if there's an altar spawn with the boss it will give significantly more tribute for this map
2. There seems to be a limitation on how many extra enemies can be captured by the ritual, that's maybe why sometimes the boss does not always spawn with the later ritual as it might get overwritten by other minions(Need more tries but that's my experience so far)
3. There's a moving blue ring spawn with every altar, stay in the ring and see it becomes golden. Some say it increases the tribute but I couldn't feel a significant difference
4. Maybe not good idea to have Singular Focus, as it would block non-favourite T16 map drops, and those could turn into T17 maps by Voidstones. Have 12 favourite spots for Glacier should mostly be fine for map sustain, also T16 maps are dirt cheap already
I agree on almost everything you said. Rushing the Boss is very important. You need to activate the juiciest Altars first. As for the number of monsters from the Altars, it is indeed very limited and RNG-gated. In fact, the Blood-Filled Vessels provide more Tribute than normal Ritual because they have 20% more maximum monsters alive! As for the Ritual Scarab of Wisp I experimented with my positioning. I had a vague impression that if I stand inside the Wildwood Circles I get more Tribute, but visibility isn't that great and tbh I am very unsure about how this works. I agree that maybe Singular Focus is too much. I almost always leave it up because I really like to experiment a lot and often times I don't complete Maps when I record videos, so my sustain is very bad.
@@Exosta standing inside the circle from Ritual Scarab of Wisps makes a huge difference, you get 70% increased tribute while in the circle. I tested some botched runs where I didn't spec into shrines and the monster numbers were really small. The difference was like 5-7k tribute without the scarab to 10-12k with it. The only problem is that you can't see the damn thing most of the time and it likes to jump away when you get inside it. I died many times while trying to spin around the ritual and find the circle. I think it would've been better if the circle itself empowered the monsters like the wildwood mechanic does so you could just hit them and not have to play the annoying minigame of finding the circle all the time (that's also how many people including me expected it to work when reading it the first time). It's the only thing keeping me from fully enjoying RItual.
@@simioncristian7799 yes, there is a small icon on top left of the screen that signals you that you are inside the circle! I discovered that after the video unfortunately
Thank you for beeing the only one who you haven't replied to :D
@@Mocadinha69 i might have missed the commen, what was your comment?
@@Exosta "Amazing video! Explained to the very detail. Loved it.
Just wondering what TS build your running there, would you be kind to drop POB?
Keep up the good work!"
@@Mocadinha69 Thank you, the build is in Standard, it's an expensive legacy MF Build
This might be a dumb question but are monsters listed in any particular order on the blood-vessel? Sometimes I have one generate on the last alter and even though there were a bunch of unique monsters in the encounters they often come with none mentioned at the top whereas others will list them.
In the case that there are none, are they still worth using for the buff? Because, imma be real, I've tossed the blanks. :3
Also, I've noticed that the drop rewards seem to deplete over the course of the encounters when it comes to unique mobs. Is this just RNG doing its thing or do the diminishing returns of their tribute also impact their loot table?
IE: I run T8 Twinned City Square ritual a lot in SSF since I am not jacked and the first couple of alters with the bosses it's unique city but by the last one it's pretty bare bones.
Very good guide. Maybe a stupid question but why defer at all and not just buy good items instantly when they show up?
@@pommes3501 thank you! cause you rarely can buy all, unless you avoid deferring splinters and you buy them on market, but i prefer to sustain them myseld
very helpful video thank you
Hit a +1 power charge ring today. Love me some ritual
Sometimes you can hit it big ;)
My biggest jackpot is got seven years bad luck x5, love ritual
Does this strategy generate any amount of kingsmarch gold ?
Also awesome guides mate gj, love the details.
Thank you! I didn't keep track of Gold unfortunately.
add domination scarab for additional gold, i run 2 domination + 2 domination evolution + monstrous lineage for gold
The gold isn't bad. It is prob better than the passive gold from some of other strats since you get the mob gold and then the ritual itself will drop additional gold when completed.
I get roughly 15k-20k per map. I am running 8 mod maps, the 3 cheaper ritual scarabs, 1 elder influence scarab, eater of worlds, and 1 domination scarab.
Nice Video. What isnt clear to me: how did i know, if and when unique enemies are rdy to catch via vessel?
If you slain Unique enemies that were originally positioned inside the Altar Circle, they can be captured
12:09 but sometimes you get random reward with 0 tribute cost(free), and its allways in bottom right. its moved from left top(divine orb for example) to right bottom. is it mean if you have more rewards ritual window can have - you can lost ur divines\mirror\some sweets coz of it?
This is a very good point you raised there. That is why I looted very few 0 cost items. This is a 1.25% chance for the reward to be free, which is really a small chance. I also think that the value you get by using 2x Ritual Scarab of Abundance far exceeds the possible loss derived from those 0 cost items being lost.
It seemed to me that any item could be 0 cost, regardless of position... I am pretty sure I already got 0 cost jewels that were right in the middle of the window.
Is there a favorite map to scry onto glacier or is it preference?
I looked through the MF Academy Strategy Guide, I couldn't find your Atlas tree build. There is only a POE planner link with no nodes leveled.
Which tab is it under?
3:20 can you explain what you do with shrines like how it works? Do you ativate shrines kill monsters than open ritual? Same with legion how it works? Is opening ritual order matter and how so?
You first kill the monsters from Shrines and Legion, and if they are were spawned inside the Ritual circle they will be respawned by the Ritual as well
Did you test legion and ritual yourself? Im pretty sure there was a changelog way back in the days saying this interaction was fixed and i recall i tested it like 2 leagues back and i didnt managed to get any legion monsters into ritual.
I tested it and I noticed monsters inside the Ritual coming from Legion, also when I use the Blood-Filled Vessels they are much juicer.
hey thanks for the video i have one question to enter phase 3 do u change your atlas back to phase 1?
I have 1 setup for each phase, but phase 1 and phase 3 have a very similar tree
Can you recommend good HH builds that don't take much to get going (I can craft what I need until endgame upgrades). I have my HH and currently running a home-brewed slam chieftain and it's great and tanky but GOD I hate constantly pressing warcries
Tbh in recent years I mostly focused on MF builds or offmeta fun builds, so I am not sure I can amswer your question.
nice one 👌
Thank you mate!
when u reroll shops, does it matter standing in a better altar or u can open the shop anywhere?
It's the same
Hello there i actually farmed the ritual this past few days i do it city Square map some times i don't spawn ritual in boss but i tried to lure it to the ritual besides the boss and got significant boost in the favor actually i also put ritual vessel to the first finished ritual with the lured boss and i captured them in the vessel i don't know but when i did that with out luring them i got significantly lower tributes but when i lure them they spawn and i got more tribute
This is the second report I get of this behavior, which is really interesting. I still think that luring Bosses takes a bit of time but that's a cool finding
@@Exosta I also run city square and when i lure boss to ritual and kill it in ritual circle it guarantees spawn 100% times (did 50+ map) after i start that ritual . And then it sometimes spawn on 2nd ritual and sometimes even on 3rd one.
But when i dont lure bosses it spawn in ritual maybe only 25-50% times.
So this is established fact that luring boss guarantees spawn in 1st ritual cause i ran 50 maps with luring and it spawned all 50 times.
12:15 that is wrong , the extra items you get with almost no tribute cost , those that appear at the bottom rigth(sometimes cost 0 tribute ) can be expensive , i found a stack of 5 div for 0 cost at bottom left , and i also find a kalandra´s toouch in that place too , looks like the extra items you get from all the scarabs/atlas passives are just shuffled into the tab
Yes the sentence was not correct because I did not think of the 0 cost possibility. I still think that maximg Ritual Scarab of Abundance has more value than the value you may lose from some 0 cost items that fall out of the window
Well, very intresting. Ill be blunt for a bit. You have an heavy accent for example, 'respawning' thats not how you prenounce it at all. However due to the context and also the illustrations on the screen i dont have to rewind to figure out what you are saying. This keeps the flow in the presentation which is very important to retain attantion and well simply put i subsribed.
Great information as well!
Ritual vessel with more Monsters make difference in The quality of The itens that appear in ritual? Or is Just a matter of having enought favors to buy more?
it's to buy more. Once we surpass 10k tribute it's the same rewards wise I guess
Sadly my game crashes when I try to do a ritual with 4 blood filled vessel. Like not even error "The Game stopped working" messeage it just freeze and close itself.
In phase 2 and 3 rituals are VERY juicy, it's a performance issue
thats why I can't play delirium with ritual. My game instantly crashes
With your atls skill tree, i can see the map just have 40% contain ritual, it's so low. How can have 100% per map?
My English is not good, are 'Ritual Scarab of Wisps' and ' Cartography Scarab of Corruption' the best for the other two scarab?
Yes
GoodJob!
Thank you!
hi do u have a filter for reward?
nice guide !!
Not really specific to Ritual, but you are giving me ideas now ;)
@@Exosta yep we need that 🥰
@@Exosta ritual specific fliter which focus on highlighting good synthesis bases with +1 charges and other high value items will be insanely op. will save so much time than checking most of the items one by one. I think it will reduce map time by almost 30-40% .
We must use delirium orb and self roll map instead of using 8 Mod maps ?
That's up to you tbh. I prefer going for Delirium.
Where do the little pictures of monsters at 1:53 come from?
I made those with ChatGPT, then I removed the white background
For me it is either I add scarabs or select a map receptacle. Why is that?
God, I wish I had gear for these sorts of things, but it's a mirror per piece in standard these days it seems.
Why do you need expensive gear to farm rituals? You can get very good gear on standard for very cheap, it's only the truly broken stuff that's really expensive.
You don't need Magic Find for Ritual, you can use any strong build without spending a lot
so considering scarab of abundance have shot up to 2 for 1d in std, do you think its worth buying at that price? I am finding that i am sort of losing currency as i cant keep up with the current scarab prices for this strat right now
That price is 100% too high at the moment in Standard
@@Exosta ok, i figured so, i will wait until the price settles back down. ty for the reply
what league starters or builds would be best for ritual?
Not really sure, but being tanky is certainly important. Some juggernaut build may do the job
Do you need to have an MF char for this strategy? Can you share the atlas tree, please?
Magic Find has zero impact on Ritual! The Atlas Passive Tree is in the MF Academy Strategy Guide, link in the description
Should I defer the items I already reserved or save tribute for the item next window.
Example I have 5 splinters already in reserve in the first window with no valuable items, do I defer them again or reroll and reserve the it for the possible items on the next window. or I keep deferring them as much as i can?
You defer them again only if they are red imo
nice guide, i love ritual but too much work for 10d/h
Thank you, yes it is a bit of a convoluted strategy.
What about evolving shrines, beyond scarab of invasion???
Beyond doesn't work with Ritual, Beyond monsters cannot be respawned from Rituals
Do I have to defer again if after each reroll?
Not every time, I would say once per map oy
Hi Exosta, why when I use domination on the map device, the rituals don't appear on the map? I have skill three of rituals, I also have scarabs, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Make sure that in phase 1 your atlas passive tree has 100% ritual chance
Do i need a high clearspeed build for that strat? becaus i am playing a firestorm build, and normaly i would not use legion, but if i only have to clear legion monsters near and in the circle it would be ok.
Not really, clear speed is not important.
I'm not so sure about the kiting monsters into the ritual not respawning...
I run City Square and whenever there is no ritual on top of the bosses I kite them into the nearest ritual and they do respawn.
I am skeptical about this, I think it is hard to perform. I tried to the same with Delirium Bosses and they were not respawned. However it is possible that map bosses work differently!
@@Exosta I've been doing it for quite some time, haven't run much deli to test with deli bosses though
edit: Just tried it again to make sure and it definitely works with the 3 map bosses
long time no see exota

link to atlas tree?
Check the MF Academy Strategy Guide in the description
All my rituals spawn on the first level of glacier and all my legion spawn inside with shrines...sadge.
@@PuristExile can happen, but generally you get 2 rituals outside and 2 inside
Why remove ritual chance in passive tree on phase 2?
Because we use blood filled ritual vessels which grant 100% ritual chance
i want your atlas passive tree pls
Check the MF Academy Strategy Guide
So in phase one, we defer itens everytime they show up?
When the ritual doesn't spawn in the boss room i get very low amount of tribute, something like 6 to 8 k and deferring can get very costly, what to do in this case?
6-8k seems pretty low, I think you might be doing something wrong, always start activating the juicest ritual first. For me is very rare to have less than 10k tribute to spend. That said, you should stop deferring and start phase 2 based on how comfortable you feel while keeping deferring. If you suspect you can't have around 5k tribute after the last reroll you should have already switched to phase 2. You really need to have "a feeling" for it. Experience makes perfect
@@Exosta i think it's just bad luck, last map I did all rituals spawned in the first zone of the map lol
how do you get ilvl 86 items? the ilvl 83 im getting seems useless
Yes, bases are all cheap, you can only get ilvl86 by recombinating
The thing about all rituals being in the second part of the map is not correct. I have spawned them many times in the first part...
@@RyanPalmer-fb8nn i have not said that. I said the shrines and legions are mostly in the second part of the map, not the ritual. Those are usually 50 59
Very food video
Is there something I am missing, I'm only getting 6~10k tributes while doing all the steps got 12k only one time and mostly 6k. There seems to be so little monsters in rituals I dont get it.
This is weird, I usually get much more. Remember to stay inside the Circle created by the Wisps
@@Exosta it did help, however it's kinda hard to follow it when i'm playing flicker strike.
Fun fact i got mirror shard from ritual that cost 1700 tribute. Yeah i was odd
I think that 6000 may not be needed after all, it depends on your Atlas Passive Tree design. But hard to prove this kind of things
Arbitrary Tenets will increase prices up to double the initial price but it will reduce prices down to 1/5 of the initial price.
Meaning the most expensive items will just more expensive, while the cheapest rolls will be dirt cheap.
@@oneoranota yep and when expensive item become more expensive it just more expensive and make no different when you cant even buy them in the first place but when it get cheaper oh boi it hit different :D
