So Cord belts are gone, new enchantments on bestiary make anoints now not a "must" anymore, no way to juice your blight in maps.
I am trying to understand what exactly they want blight to be now.
you cannot juice blight anymore like you used to, the unique blight bosses drop nothing, invigo scarab makes blight impossibly hard and you get nothing from it.
blight is one of the most neglected farms now. the only way to do blight now is in blight ravaged maps, where your atlas wont work on.
atleast in expedition you can juice the monsters, the only way to juice blight is with scarabs like titanic scarab and titanic scarab of legends. if you do that you need a build that has 1million ehp and 500 million damage.
lol??

Ritual needs a buff before league asap after HUGE nerfs
So this new league Massively needs ritual, and ggg hasn’t given any compensation buffs to the mechanic. I don’t consider the “locusts will point towards the next ritual” a buff to the mechanic itself that’s just QoL.
To recap what ritual is losing
1. Synthesis items
2. Delve fossils
3. Abyss eyes
4. Catalysts
5. Omen of blanching
6.legion splinters
7. Mirage rituals because mirage isn’t going core.
It’s really surprising how ggg is just absolutely gutting ritual and it’s getting 0 compensation buffs. I hope they make a buff before league starts, I love ritual but these nerfs are just so substantial with 0 compensation buffs.

Stop panicking, Ritual most certainly isn't dead or entirely gutted!
Heya! Ritual Girl here, the name's Neeko!
Ritual is my all-time favourite mechanic in the game and I have been running it every league and every event ever since I've started playing.
And every league I record and break down my profits in spreadsheets and publish the findings of one of these runs on reddit to see how ritual is doing.
Here are the posts from the past two leagues: 3.28 \- 3.27
Now, I know that a lot of people are panicking because more and more loot is getting taken out of the ritual loot pool. I myself don't really like those changes because I love ritual for the loot variety, so I get why people might be upset. But I don't really understand why a lot of people assume that ritual will be a poor person's mechanic now. I've already seen quite a few posts of people freaking out and being angry at GGG because they think Ritual has been gutted.
In my experience, looking back at all my recorded data, the main profits from ritual will always come from raw currency, div cards, fractures, and omens/invitations. The synth items were always a nice addition and had huge jackpot potential, but they've never made up the biggest part of the profits. If you take them out you might be missing around 10% of the overall profits, which I think is the absolute worst case. And even that would still leave Ritual as a very consistent and profitable mechanic.
Also, 98% of synth items are sub 1c junk. So them being taken out will most likely fill the remaining generated items per window with other things, lots of it potentially worth a lot more than the average synth item. At least I would assume so, as that also seemed to be the case after the removal of fossils and resonators. After that I found noticeably more currency and div cards in Ritual.
Same goes for the abyss jewels. Having a supply of them for rolling and finding the occasional good fracture was nice. But losing them really isn't that big of a deal on paper and you might find more other good stuff now.
Also, with +1 Charge being a corruption implicit on rings now, and there being much stronger corruption implicits in general, you might find a good corruption here and there now, especially earlier in the league. So that might be a nice little addition to the loot pool as random corrupted items you found in ritual were always really bad before.
Obviously neither I nor anybody else will know for sure how things will turn out until we actually get to play the new league. But with all my past experience I am quite sure that the loot changes are not really that big of a deal (in terms of profit) even though they kinda suck in my opinion.
The bigger problem in my eyes are the potential issues with scarab supply which could make ritual really expensive to run. But that's beside the point of this post and we'll have to see how everything turns out.
TL;DR
I think some of the changes made to a lot of mechanics and ritual specifically over the past leagues are not really enjoyable for me and go the wrong direction. But personally I still don't think the removal of synth items, abyss jewels, and catalysts from the Ritual loot pool will impact the profits too much. It might, but chances are low in my opinion. Please don't freak out or ask for buffs to Ritual before we have even had the chance to play!
Stay sane Exiles :3
