Defering and rerolling items.

Hello,
I have an unpleasant surprise today. I got the Exalted Orb from the ritual reward. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it, so I used the Defer item option. On the next map I bought 2 Exalted Shards. Unfortunately there was nothing more interesting so I decided to use the reroll item option. After using it, an exalted orb appeared which i defer earlier. But I couldn't afford to use the defer option on it anymore. Is it normal? Because if so, there should be some warning that if we have some item defer, we should not use the reroll option because we will not be able to extend defer of it.

This needs no warning, this is just common sense, as you gave the solution to your problem by yourself already. You have all the information in the ritual window (how much tributes can you spend, how much rerolling will cost, how much it will cost to defer the item. Just do the math and wage the risk of rerolling and not be able to afford the upcoming rewards)

The "re-roll" option is a noob-trap. You get a new roll in your next area. Why so impatient?

If you don't pay the defer cost again, you will (Should) get more chances to deferr the exalt. Items that you can afford to deferr again don't just dissappear, they come back - Deferred - But at a higher cost. So the cycle will keep going so long as you don't ignore it for 1 or more turns.

Well it is if you get trapped into re-rolling without enough to afford your defers, but consider this:

To get a new set of options to buy, you have two avenues: new map or reroll. With that in mind, 1 reroll = 1 map. So every time you hit that re-roll button it is the equivalent of running a full map from a strictly 'Ritual' perspective. That's really good value.

rerolling confirmed NOT a newb trap - but yeah it wouldn't hurt if you could view all your pending defers at the ritual screen or something - not neccessary but why not do it?
