Are there any plans to re-add ritual tablets and abyssal echoes in 0.3?

For a while I thought I was unlucky, then I thought I was crazy, but after ~40% of level 97 I'm pretty confident that (at least) omen of abyssal echoes went the way of the ritual tablet with the tower patch. I'm ssf so I don't follow the market closely but filterblade says echoes cost around 200ex now and that number has been steadily on the rise.

I've had a great time this patch, and I'm still having fun but it's become a bit challenging when it appears that gear prog is at a standstill. I'd start a new character, but then there's the ritual tablet blockade when it hits maps.

Just looking for any kind of news. Kind regards.

yes things become more expensive as the season goes on..... and yes they still drop

Omen drops 100%of the time when a Essence Pillar is in an Abyssal area. And In the maps I have run (speced into Essences on Atlas) I get an Essence on Abyss about 1 in 4 maps.

Ran a T7 today with Ritual and it dropped a Tablet, so they do still drop.

It may be an issue like with T7's vs T15 Drops where doing T15's makes it less likely for Ritual Tablets to drop.

i like it on the trade because every tab is 1100ex minimum

but then again it's supposed to be the end game and the took that pretty much away lol

Oh. I thought it was established that ritual tablets only drop on maps that were affected by towers pre-update; that's certainly been my experience. Thanks for your input.

I have found an essence of the abyss or two post update. I haven't found omen of abyssal echoes/omen of light since the update.

I'd still suggest that current drop rates, even if actually nonzero, effectively exclude normies like me from these parts of the game. Of course that's possibly intentional and exists elsewhere, e.g. mirror/lock etc. Rituals in particular seem like a large part of the game though, so just looking for clarification as to whether these are intended changes.

It could be the case as most of the maps I am running are pre patch pre-buffed maps with xp gain.

As for Omens of Light, I had none drop pre patch, but 2 nights ago had 3 drop in single map, 2 of them from a single rare.

I do think most people who understood the game before hand juiced areas and than didn't run them so they could after and if you're in a group that did that it would of taken a long time to run thru that. It's really is the same thing POE has always had of people who have problems understanding tooltip language and communication from GGG vs people who understand how the game works(the rich get richer the poor stay poor and inflation pushes them out). Like they literally told us tower buffs would stay so to juice your maps before the patch.

I just dropped an another Omen of Light today. This is probably my 30th Omen of Light this league and I'm not even talking about other thousands of omens I had in the last weeks. Not flexing here like a retard, just saying it is rng based and you're probably unlucky with it.
