What makes you think that there will be no atlas passives that raise monster level on maps? Or rare sextant mods that do that?

I remember when people said the harvest one was overpriced.

If it's not worth it, don't use it. If it is, use it. I'm certain dedicated peeps could make a profit off any of the crafts, though the marginal benefit may be more or less.

Did you all miss the part where Chris Wilson himself said that you'll have a guaranteed 4 altar ritual passive on atlas tree? And do you think it's the only passive related to ritual? I can bet that there's another which gives better rewards from rituals and yet another that allows 2 rerolls.
Along with small nodes like increase of ritual points from ritual monsters. With 4 altars it becomes very profitable.

I had a ritual yesterday give me over 14,300 Tribute without even investing in Ritual. Yup.

They nerfed ritual at some point, now its not really worth doing unless you like farming bases. but even then you wont be able to farm ilvl 84+ bases next league since they're removing the unique stones that give +1 area level

Ritual is that good if you utilize the ritual vessels. The vast majority of players put the vessels in a stash tab and never touch them again/never pick the splinters for them as reward. Meaning for the vast majority of players it will be a struggle to make 13c worth the investment

It costs so much, because for those 13 ch you can have enough Ritual Splinter. On top of that, you definitely won't be doing it on just any map, so there is a chance that you will do the 1st ritual with the boss, or with a huge number of mobs, so you have an additional bonus. And your next map will be made with Vessel (vessel = free ritual with benefits).

usually with passive points from the tree, it will probably be that after completing the ritual (especially since there is a passive that guarantees 4 circles) you will be able to afford to buy the item that interests you + splinters. 1-2 maps = 2-4 rituals it depends how lucky you are. so for cost 13-26 ch you have 2-4 rituals = 6,5-8,5 ch per ritual

im mostly ssf player these days and also not a good ritual farmer at that BUT DAYUM you guys forgetting everything else you getting from ritual? put aside the mirror items/hh/base items and remember how much currency, gems, catalsts, big uniques, div cards and so on you get from there aswell, so yes it obviously is worht the 13c in the long run if you specialice in it regardless of watchstones being gone for ritual purpose or not

It's normal trubute numbers when you farm rituals WITHOUT vessels. Watchstone for 4 altars, three for tribute. Plus atlas nodes.

You balance tribute between utilizing maximum rerols (deffering pricy item after reroll may cost ~4k tribute) and deferring junk. It's time and mentally consuming. And it's not possible to speed up ritual events.

And more importanly rewards were cut significantly. After "ultimatum too rewarding" bullshit. It's not about only mirror drops. Now you rarely see chaos stack but scour stack tribute price is hier than old chaos stack price. In 3.13 i get 100c from rituals before maps. Now it's all gone.

Now you earn money by filling vessels. And farming with vessels is pure gambling. When i was selling my ritual watchstones i warn buyer about bad returns (but he still buy). It feels almost like i scamming somebody.
