🚸WARNING🚸 to all ritual fans

Rits were accessible to anyone with two shoes, and that's why they were nerfed.

You could legit go ED/c and invest less than 10c in gear and still come away with double digit exalts per day if you pumped the reroll right.

That of course entailed doing large portions of your maps TWICE, but if you averaged the time spent per map over the total payout it was still better than running the map ONCE and ignoring the altars entirely. But only slightly better. The 3.13 margin was somewhere around 1 extra exalt per 10-15 minutes of mapping doing all altars vs. skipping them all.

I did not check to see if there was a significant change to this very meagre increased ROI with 3.14 atlas passives attuned to Rit.

My guess is there was not.

(The major strategy for me would have been to kite every living thing into the first altar circle and have them all reappear in subsequent circles, but that was sadly not the plan.)

I don't know where you're getting your numbers from.
I don't know of ANYONE who was able to get 6 ex/hour from rituals alone during ritual league.

Most estimtes from that time seem to suggest that the average return was around 10chaos per ritual. This was done by people who did hundreds of rituals and calculated their rewards in excel spread sheets.
A fast mapper who did ritual probably needed around 4 minutes to clear a map and use the ritual mechanic. This should net around an extra 150 chaos per map from ritual alone. Which at the time was 1.5 exalted orbs.

This was very profitable at the time. Add map drops and other league content on top of it and alot of people, even casuals were profiting around 3 ex an hour combining Rituals with Valdos rest Harbinger farming.

But 6 ex/hour alone from rituals, that's a pipedream.
The absolute best farming method in Ritual was 100% delirius Nemesis4 Fractured Map farming in Canyon. In it, you did Ritual aswell.
This method farmed more than 8 ex/hour for people like Grimro who could run maps in 5-6 minutes with his mirrortier BV character. And let me tell you, his profit did NOT come from the rituals.

How exactly does one get 100s of exalts to invest when you only have one challege done?

For someone that has been here for so incredibly long (like six months more than me), and have 30 posts per day - to ask this question?

Do you play this game, or just post in the forums?

I play the game. But I'm an "old man" by most of your standards and can't play for long periods. Maybe two maps. Rarely three. If I do too much I get dizzy and can't even walk.

So I take the time to post here to take breaks from the game.

Thanks for caring.

I play at my own pace, with my own objectives. I don't expect that you could understand that.

Fair enough.

On topic though, seems like GGG has ninja nerfed alot of droprates this league.
Currency drops like Scouring, Regals, Blessed Orbs, Regrets et.c. are in the gutter.
Also, lvl 1 Enhance, Enlighten and Empower have become super rare this league.
Saw a video of Empyrean saying that his 6 man 100% delirium party found 2 Enhance and 2 Empower in a week of constant farming with maximum %quantity.

They've seem to intentionally made the league very unrewarding.
I can't imagine how it is trying to get a lvl4 enlighten in SSF.

Not just the league.
Nemesis + Valdo farming now nets less than 5-8c per map. Alot less rares in the map, alot less currency drops in general.

100% deli also feels like alot less quant overall except maybe the loot explosion in tirns end
