Ilevel 86 items and the New Atlas

Okay.

I didn't see it anywhere, but were Ritual bases added to the original drop pool?

If not, the new atlas and new passives prevent you getting beyond level 83 with those items.

The only + Level mods on the entire Atlas Tree are for Abyss, Maven Crucibles, and for Unique Maps.

While Elder and Shaper items can be found in chests, and there are high level encounters for other bosses, Ritual has none of the sort.

(Otherwise, I'm generally happy with the new skill tree for the Atlas, other than the fact that it's going to be annoying as F if you want to multi-specialize your farming to rechart your tree, and the tree's design is hard to navigate by hand and absorb mentally for most players. To most players, it's going to look tedious. It's more fair, though)

sadly looks like we lost it...

The same could be said for the heist ring and belt bases, no apparent way to get relevant ilvl bases anymore without specific watchstones.

Maybe there will be a sextant mod that applies to monster level in some way. That might work for ritual or influenced packs or whatever. Still not seeing how a patchwork of sextants could help heist bases.

Heist items get randomly assigned ilevels. A single instance of ilevel 83 Blueprint for Experimentals can have level 83 through ilevel 88 mods on them. It's random.

Only Ritual was gated by Ilevel, because even Expedition has Ilevel 86 content and shop randomization.

Between Ritual to now, only a handful of Ilevel 86 of each base has actually been dropped per league. Like 20 per league of each base. When I was online earlier in Standard, there was only 5 people online with a Dreamquest Slipper, and that was in STANDARD STANDARD. 5 Ex+ just for the base.

I'm hoping they added it to the core pool.
