_________________
1. Ritual & Atlas Point Allocation
See The Full Ritual & Atlas Setup Here In The Atlas Tree
Ritual Atlas Focus: 4x Ritual In Each Map, Deferring Cost REDUCE Tribute, 100% Chance For Omens, Re-rolling Cost 25% Less
Reasons: We Will Aim To Hit The 60% Re-rolling Cost Reduction Breakpoints, Which After Our Atlas Multipliers = 100% Reduced Reroll Cost, Achieving 0 Cost Rerolls (15% Is Found On Each Tablets: 3x Tables = 45% For The 60%+ Goal)
As For Atlas Tree, The KEY Node Is Unstable Energies To Hit The 25% MORE Effect, The Rest We Focus On Pack Size Etc.

2. Ritual Waystone Pack Size Crafting
Chaos + Omen Of Chaotic Quality (Replace ALL Mods On Waystone Into Pack Size Mods):
So 6 Mod A Rare T15 Map + Active Omen Of Chaotic Quality & Apply Chaos Orb
We Would Then Delirium/Anoint The Waystone With Pack Size Via Diluted Liquid Guilt Which Adds Even More Pack Size
Warning: Map Usually Have 0 Revives-> Make Sure To Have A MORE Survival/Tanky Setup!
For Desecrate Mods: Apply The Above Process - Then Apply Preserved Vertebrae On To The 5/6 Mod Waystone (Make Sure The Order Is Chaos + Omen First, Then Des Mods After)
See Wiki Here For Full List Of POE 2 Desecrate Mods (Ctrl + F & Search For Pack Size)
In The Demo Video We Had Increased Abyss Monster: Which Gave +12% Pack Size, There Are Other Des Mods That Grants 18-20%+ Pack Size Too! So Make Sure To Know/Check The List For Des Waystone Mods Before Picking Your 1/3!

3. Ritual Tower Tablet Crafting
We Will Aim To Overlap Multiple Towers For The BEST Results, If We Only Having 1 Tower In Range, It Will Be LESS Effective, So Aim For At Least 2 Overlapping Towers Zones For Juiced Farming (See Tips On How To BEST Overlap Towers Next!)
The Center Tower:
1x Freedom Of Faith Unique Ritual Precursor Tablet
Aim For Ritual Altars Cost 10% Increased Tribute (Less The Better) See Trade Links
_____
1x Reduce Re-rolling Cost Blue Ritual Precursor Tablet (See Trade Link)
Here The KEY Is To Search For Rerolling Favours at Ritual Altars in your Maps costs #% Increased Tribute, Then Put -15% As Max (See Trade Filter Link)
We Can Also Get Pack Size Too Here (Slightly More Costly) See Trade Link
______
1x MORE Omens Chances Blue Ritual Precursor Tablet (See Trade Link)
We Can Also Get Pack Size Here See Trade Link
_____________
The Side Towers:
1x Reduce Re-rolling Cost Blue Ritual Precursor Tablet
1x MORE Omens Chances Blue Ritual Precursor Tablet
Same As Above
_____
1x Rerolling Favours an additional time Blue Ritual Precursor Tablet
See Trade Link
We Can Also Get Pack Size Here See Trade Link (This Is The MORE Expensive Tablet)
_______
*Royal Mentioned That Pack Size > Increasing Tribute On The Precursor Tablets
___________
4 Ritual Tower Table Placement & Overlapping (Situational/Advanced Considerations)
Ideally We Want At Least 3 Towers To Overlap But This Can Be Explored Further, Using 3 Inner Circle To Buff Up The Outer Radius Of Coverage To Combine Other Towers, Effectively Giving Us 3 + 1 Tower Buff Coverage & More Maps Juiced
Please See Video Guide For Further Explanation On This Part (Also From Royal's Tips)
___________
5. Clearing Out Ritual Map + How To (0 Cost) Reroll + Defer
Firstly Make Sure We Can Comfortably Clear WITHOUT Dying (Most Maps = 0 Revive & Cost Lots To Juice Up!)
Start Map, Clear 4 Rituals For 10K+ Tribute, Here In The Demo, Royal Had 10k+ Tribute On First Map & 17K= Tribute On The 2nd Map (Highest We've Seen!)
Once All 4 Rituals Are Cleared Out, Consider The Following Options:
A. Defer Valuable Items For Cost Reduction
This Prep Future Ritual Runs For Cheaper Buyouts:
E.g. Omen Of Chaotic Offering Cost 580 Tribute Buyout, Cost 65 To Defer (58 Goes Into Future Cost Reduction, 7 Goes Into Fees)
Initially It Seems Deferring = More Cost, But Its Actually Accumulating Cost Reduction EACH Ritual Run, Such That Eventually ALL Deferred Items Cost Min/Nothing & Can Be All Bought Out!
The Takeaway Here Is We DONT Need To Buy All Items From Ritual Shop In 1 Run, Deferring Allows Us To Use Multiple Run's Tribute For Accumulated Cost Reduction Purchase (So In The E.g., The Extra 7 Tribute Paid In Fee Lead To 58 Lower Cost For The Future Runs)
This Combined With 0 Cost x6 Rerolls Is Very Powerful!
___
With Lots Of Rerolls, We Could Easily Defer An Item 3-5 Times For Massive Cost Reduction In Future Runs!
So Effectively We Are Carrying Our Tribute To The Next Map This Way!
____
B. Buying Items Out Right
If We Get Lots Of Tribute, E.g. 17K In One Big Run, Then In Most Cases We Can Afford Almost Everything, Then There Is NO Need For Extra Deferred Cost/Fees
Saving Some Tribute As We Re-roll For Free Is A Good Idea Too!
Notice (See Video) Here Deferred Items Either Have A GOLDEN Frame Or RED Frame:
Gold Frame: Can Reappear Without Needing To Defer Again
Red Frame: MUST Be Bought/Deferred This Time Or It Will Be GONE After Reroll
Priories On Using Our Tribute On Red Frame Deferred Items
___
Once An Item Reaches MAX Deferred Cost Reduction, It CAN NOT Be Deferred, So Just Buy It Out For Min Cost This Time

6. Additional Tips & Bugs Related To Ritual To AVOID
Royal Mentioned That Map That Have The OVER RUN BY THE ABYSS NOD Or Waystones With Abyss Over Run Affix Seems To Be Bugged For Ritual Farming, There Are Times Ritual x4 Are NOT Spawning While Clearing Those Maps, So Make Sure To Avoid Those Map & Waystones That Are Abyss Over Run. See Similar Reddit Post On The Bug
Here are some valuable items & their cost I found on Reddit:
So we know how much Tribute to save up in-case we got lucky from our Rerolls (Note Cost Various Depending On Tablet -Tribute Cost & Atlas Tree)
Headhunter (50+ Div) Can Cost 3200+ Tribute To Defer Post
Omen Of Dextral Annulment (3 Divine) 1700+ Post
Astrametis Amulet 1650+ Tribute Post
Omen Of Whittling 300-1000+ Post (OP Likely Had Reduced Deferral Cost Here)
Mirror Of Kalandra 1900-3000+ Post (Likely Locks Cost Similar, I Couldn't Find A Post On That)
So The TLDR Summary Is That, While Considering The Reroll Cost (Which Can Also Be 0 & With 6-8x Reroll Using The Above Methods), TRY TO KEEP AT LEAST 3200+ Tribute When Rerolling, So We Have ENOUGH To Defer When A Super Good Item Appears After Our Shop Re-Roll!
