This video examines the viability of ritual farming in Path of Exile 2 after the latest patch, and asks whether it is worth devoting resources to this strategy, or whether it is simply not worth the effort.

Preparation

Maps: The creator invested in 50 T15 maps, costing around 50 Exalted Orbs, focusing on mods that increase pack size to maximise monster density for better ritual results.Ritual Tablets: Some homemade tablets were used, with modifiers to increase the chance of receiving omens and more tribute.Atlas Setup: The approach was fairly basic, with minimal specialisation; only a few towers were used for ritual enhancement.

Ritual mechanics

Tribute: Essential for using rituals, but there were instances where the tribute collected wasn't enough for even one roll.Delay: An important strategy when tribute is low, allowing players to save items for later. The Promised Devotion passive node helps reduce the cost of delay over time.

Results

Ritual loot:

Omens: Lower level omens contributed to the sale of approximately 168 Exalts (1.68 Divine), while standout omens such as Omen of Dextral Erasure (10 Divine) and Audience with the King (6 Divine) were significant.Overall gain: The ritual windows alone generated around 17 Divine, after deducting the cost of the card investment.Additional loot: Although other drops occurred during the mapping process, the analysis focused solely on the Ritual Window rewards.

Analysis

Efficiency: The profit margin was about 0.34 Divines per card, which the designer felt was reasonable for a Ritual-centred strategy.Risks and rewards: Engaging in rituals requires pausing to manage interactions, potentially slowing map clearing speed, but offering the chance for valuable drops.The unpredictability of tribute collection can make some rituals less profitable unless you use delay strategies.Suggestions for improvement:Combining Rituals with Delirium could potentially increase rewards as Delirium monsters add to the tribute pool.Tweak the passive skill tree for tribute efficiency, particularly for managing high value item deferrals.

Final note

Based or Cringe: The Creator finds ritual farming "pretty cool" and worthwhile, especially with effective tribute management through the passive tree. However, it's not an activity for the quick runner, but rather a strategic commitment.Final thoughts: Ritual farming in PoE2 can be rewarding, especially for players targeting specific high-value items such as omens. It's advisable to get involved with rituals when they're available on maps, with the caveat that it requires patience and strategic planning to maximise the return.For those interested in exploring different farming strategies in Path of Exile 2, ritual farming offers a unique opportunity, albeit with its own set of challenges and time commitment.
