agree!!!

Interesting evaluation! thanks for your work


Your welcome. I have more stuff on the way!

Did the ritual 238 times for 1 million mf, big difference noted


I ve given up after 4 x rituals tbh

Now in your opinion, will doing ritual 3+ times as a portal barb help a lot?


Tried the portal barb. Every time I tried my computer just crashed. I only have 32 GB of RAM. I think I need to double it so the game doesn’t overload.

1. Only people present for ritual receive benefits.
2. No.
3. No idea what you mean. There's only the souls dance ritual.


Yep, I agree

P8 with 200mf is better than a million mf on P1.

Does the ritual require you to clear all monsters except for 4 souls in the entire zone? Or just in the immediate area (within 2 screens or so)

With the new holy grail feature I may want to try this

thanks for doing this testing! I am curious if doing the ritual does enough to make up for playing on p1?

No, just in the immediate vicinity, not even 2 screens. Also, it can be any 4 souls, including the ones from act 3.

As long as you’re focusing on champions, uniques, and bosses, player count does have some impact on drops, but it’s not nearly as noticeable as it is with regular mobs. So even on lower player settings, you’re still getting strong value.

Regular mobs: player count matters a lot for quantity.

Champions / uniques / many superuniques: mostly fixed drops, so player count has little or no effect on quantity.

Act bosses: player count still helps some, but the jump is much smaller than for normal monsters.

3. I guess there is the pentagram and then a second one which is what I notice is the letters

Others call it half or full. Idk how else to describe it.
Seen on YouTube they went through 2 of them.

I think I know what you’re referring to now. There’s another behavior where the souls kind of shoot around you. From what I’ve been told, that usually means something is interfering, either another nearby monster or too many souls competing at once. The fix seems to be clearing any extra monsters or excess souls so the ritual can properly trigger. That’s been my understanding so far.
