PoE 2 Best Ritual Atlas Tree & Farming Strats (Down of the Hunt 0.2.0)

Farming Rituals in Path of Exile 2's 0.2.0 patch remains one of the most profitable and accessible strategies for steady currency generation. Despite some changes like the Ingenious Legacy belt nerf and broader availability of Omens and Audience with the King invitations, Ritual mechanics still offer high returns through rare item drops, valuable Omens, and high tribute yields. This guide breaks down the best Atlas Tree setups and farming strategies for Rituals, including detailed steps for optimizing your gear, maps, and tablets to maximize profits.

Why Still Farm Ritual in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.2.0?

Even with the ongoing economy shifts and nerfs to some Ritual-related items, Rituals continue to provide strong returns. With the right setup, players are reporting consistent results of 2–4 divines per hour, with spikes depending on RNG and efficient management. Rituals offer:

• Access to high-value Omens: Whittling, Analment, Dextral Eraser, and more.

• A steady supply of Audience with the King invitations.

• Potentially valuable rare item drops that can be flipped or crafted for profit.

• Consistent tribute income for deferments and rerolls.

If you build around maximizing tribute and monster density, Ritual can outperform many other mapping strategies in raw currency/hour.

Best Ritual Atlas Tree Setup and Farming Strategies

Below are three proven strategies for Ritual farming with detailed tree setups and map/tablet considerations.

1. Best Ritual Atlas Tree Strategy for High Divine/Exalts & Omens Income

This strategy is a high-investment, high-reward Ritual farming plan built around stacking multiple reroll opportunities and Omen chances across maps influenced by three to four Ritual towers. It combines the use of a unique Ritual precursor tablet (for double rerolls), expensive tribute-reducing tablets, and Omen-enhancing tablets, all applied to a cluster of maps affected by multiple towers. The goal is to maximize tribute, increase reroll potential, and defer high-value items like Omen of Whittling, ensuring steady currency return across a multi-map setup. While the strategy requires some upfront investment, it offers strong returns when executed across a full batch of maps.

This strategy is best for players looking to scale Ritual profits over multi-map setups, combining smart tablet placement, efficient atlas synergy, and targeted deferment to farm high-value Ritual items. It’s a powerful method when executed with planning and moderation.

Strategy Setup Steps:

1. Tower and Region Planning

• Locate and clear 3–4 Ritual towers with overlapping influence.

• Choose a central region that covers at least 6–8 maps with all towers.

• Apply stronger tablets (expensive ones) on the central towers.

• Use cheaper or moderate tablets on outer towers.

2. Tablet Setup

• Required: 1 Unique Ritual Tablet: Freedom of Faith (allows 2x rerolls per Ritual).

• Recommended:

  Increased rare/magic monsters

  Increased pack size

  Bonus: quantity or rarity (if available)

  2–3 tablets with Rerolling favors at Ritual altars costs reduced tribute

  3+ tablets with Increased chance for favors to be Omens

  1 tablet with Deferring favors costs reduced tribute

  Additional tablets with:

  Budget Option: Use only the unique tablet and 3–5 inexpensive reroll/omen tablets.

3. Atlas Passive Tree Setup

• Ritual Nodes:

  Tempting Offer – 25% reduced reroll cost

  Spreading Darkness – Always 4 Ritual Altars

  Ominous Portents – Increased Omen chance

  Promised Devotion – 50% reduced defer cost (swap with He Approaches if needed)

• Tablet Nodes:

  Increased Effect of Tablets (8% x 2 clusters)

  Remnants of Power – 20% chance for double tablet effects

  Increased Rare and Magic Monsters

  Avoid Rarity nodes; focus on monster scaling

4. Map Rolling

  Increased rare/magic monsters

• Prioritize maps with open layouts (e.g., Blasted Order, Savanna)

• Add Distilled Delirium or Paranoia for monster count if stable

5. In-Map Ritual Execution

• Trigger all 4 Ritual Altars

• Use up to 5 rerolls (if unique tablet is active)

• Defer high-value items like:

  Omen of Whittling (3.5+ divines)

  Greater Omens

  Audience with the King

• Use Promised Devotion to reclaim deferred items faster in subsequent maps

2. Best Ritual Atlas Tree Points Maximize & Rare Item Sniping Strategy

Rather than focusing strictly on Omens or invitations, this strategy involves identifying valuable rare and magic items in Ritual panels and crafting or flipping them for profit. It’s a low-investment, high-reward approach that doesn’t require a fully optimized tree or build, but rewards attention to detail and knowledge of valuable modifiers. Perfect for players who enjoy profiting off the overlooked gems hidden in Ritual panels.

Strategy Focus:

• Inspecting items in the Ritual window for specific high-value modifiers.

• Prioritizing rare and even magic items that can be crafted and sold for multiple divines.

• Utilizing basic currency crafting techniques to enhance value (e.g. augmentation, regal, exalt).

• Running Tier 15–16 maps, ideally with irradiation to increase item level and drop quality.

• Maximizing currency through intelligent item selection and market awareness.

Strategy Setup Steps:

1. Atlas Tree Focus:

   Use Ritual nodes as above.

   No need for full tribute nodes; focus more on deferring and frequency.

   
   

2. Tablet Setup:

   At least one tablet for Tribute Gain or Reduced Cost.

   Add Irradiated and Quantity tablets for better loot drops.

3. Rare Item Sniping Tips:
   Prioritize looting and inspecting:

   Two-Handed Maces: Look for +7 Melee Gems

   Boots: 35% Movement Speed, Life, Resistances

   Rings: Chaos Resistance, double elemental resists

   Crossbows: +7 Projectile Gems

   Gloves: +2 Melee Gems

   Scepters: Increased Spell or Spirit Damage

4. Crafting Steps:

   Look for synergy mods like Reduced Attribute Requirements, Life, Damage.

   Price check crafted items before listing.

3. Best Breach + Ritual Hybrid Strategy

Combining Breach and Ritual mechanics adds monster density and currency potential. This Ritual farming strategy revolves around stacking item quantity, rare monsters, and pack size across maps, Rituals, and Breach encounters. The goal is to farm high-density maps that are buffed by multiple tablets and towers, where Rituals and Breaches provide the majority of profit. The focus is to generate currency through Omens, Audience with the King, Ritual rewards, and Breach splinters - all amplified by high monster count and loot quantity. This strategy balances efficiency, density, and flexibility, making it one of the most stable Ritual farming setups in the current Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt patch.

Setup Steps:

1. Atlas Tree Focus:

   Frantic Invasion (more splinters)

   Crumbling Wall (more Breaches)

   Rising Fire (density)

   Ritual nodes: Four Altars, Reduced Costs, Increased Omen Chance

   Breach nodes:

   Optional: Tablet synergy and Shrine nodes

   
   

2. Tablet Setup:

   2 Ritual tablets (with Reduced cost of rerolling + Increased chance for Omens)

   2 Breach tablets (increase monster density and splinter drops)

   1 Quantity tablet (preferably irradiated)

   1 Unique Ritual Tablet (for double reroll)

3. Execution:

   Run T15 maps with Breach and Ritual overlap.

   Use Shrines for more monsters.

   Defer Omens and rare items.

   Sell Breachstones and splinters as secondary income.
