PoE How to Earn Tribute and Spend Tribute

In Path of Exile (PoE), Tribute is a currency specifically earned and spent during the Ritual encounter. Here’s a breakdown of both:

Earning Tribute:

  • Defeating Monsters: The core way to gain Tribute is by killing monsters within the activated Ritual circle. More and tougher enemies translate to a higher Tribute yield.
  • Ritual Vessels: These special items, crafted from Vessel Shards, can significantly boost the amount of Tribute earned in a map. By using a Ritual Vessel alongside your map in the device, you can expect a substantial Tribute increase.

Spending Tribute:

  • Reward Purchase: Once you’ve completed the Ritual encounter, you’ll be presented with a selection of purchasable rewards. These can include:

    • Pre-identified Rare items: This allows you to see the item’s stats before buying, eliminating the gamble of unidentified gear.
    • Currency
    • Other valuable items
  • Deferral: You can choose to defer a desired reward if you lack enough Tribute. This essentially "saves" the item for later encounters within the same zone, but at a slightly increased Tribute cost.

Tips for Optimizing Tribute:

  • Map Juicing: Techniques that increase the number and difficulty of monsters in your maps will naturally lead to more Tribute. This can involve using map mods that boost monster density or adding mechanics like Warbands.
  • High-Tier Maps: Tribute rewards tend to scale with the tier of the map you’re running. Consider venturing into higher-tier maps if you’re comfortable with the challenge, to maximize Tribute gain.
  • Atlas Points: Investing points in the Atlas passive skill tree that enhance Ritual rewards can be beneficial in the long run.

By understanding how to earn and spend Tribute effectively, you can leverage the Ritual mechanic to acquire valuable resources and gear in Path of Exile.
