Strategy
This is a budget Ritual farming strategy aimed at printing currency — and crucially, at targeting the game’s chase belts (Headhunter and Mageblood) without an expensive tablet setup. The whole idea is that Ritual lets you reroll rewards using Tribute, so the more Tribute and rerolls you generate, the more chances you have to roll the expensive Omens and the chase uniques that show up in the Ritual reward window.
It works this patch because you do not need rarity gear or pricey reroll tablets to make it profitable. The creator runs the farm on cheap T15 maps (~0.37 divine each) with bare-bones tablets and still hits 20,000–30,000 Tribute with 14+ rerolls per sequence. It’s for mappers who already have a build strong enough to clear juiced Ritual circles and want a repeatable, low-floor currency engine with a real jackpot ceiling.
Atlas Tree & Setup
On the Ritual passive tree, grab everything, but prioritize two choices. Take the Tainted node (unlocks belts, charms, and flasks in the Ritual pool — this is what enables Headhunter and Mageblood belt drops). Then take the node where revived monsters from Ritual grant 50% reduced penalty to Tribute granted — this keeps your Tribute high even without any increased-Tribute tablets, which is what makes the farm “budget.”
For Atlas Master, the creator runs Juggernaut Spycraft for the increased explicit modifiers on tablets. The Right of the Nameless sequence is mandatory: each altar you complete grants increased Tribute and an extra reroll, snowballing the final Ritual.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — ~18.67 divine total for 50 maps (~73 exalted per map). Costs: ~8–10 Head of the King (1d each), ten increased-Omen-chance Ritual tablets (~100ex), one unique Ritual tablet (~60ex), plus cheap map rolling (alch + spam).
- Returns: ~2 divine profit per map on average (gross ~2.36 div/map), scaling far higher when an Omen jackpot or a Headhunter/Mageblood hits. The creator pulled both a Headhunter and a Mageblood from this farm.
Step-by-step
- Roll cheap T15 maps (50 alch + light spam) and slot two rare “increased chance to be Omen” Ritual tablets plus one unique Ritual tablet. Filter the marketplace for tablets with 10 uses remaining.
- Bring 8–10 Head of the King.
- At Kirac’s Taint, attach a Head of the King to the scarecrow and run the Right of the Nameless altars first — each grants more Tribute and rerolls.
- Run the maps; use your large Tribute pool and rerolls inside each Ritual to fish for expensive Omens and chase belts.
- Sell the Omens, divines, and any chase uniques.
Risks
- Requires a build strong enough to survive and clear revived/juiced Ritual monsters.
- The big payouts (Headhunter / Mageblood) are RNG — the floor is steady ~2 div/map, not the jackpot.
- If you skip the Tribute-penalty-reduction node and don’t run increased-Tribute tablets, you can run out of Tribute mid-Ritual and lose expensive rewards.
