Ritual needs a pity mechanic for An Audience with the King

Please give us splinters to buy or something to show we are making progress toward An Audience with the King. The pure RNG and low drop rate is very demoralizing.

Loving the game overall. Handful of things that are a bit frustrating but this one is getting to me the most.

yeah that's not happening.... Like if you dont like rng drops why are you playing an arpg???
Have you looked at the currency exchange cost of Audience vs the others?

Breachstone: 197 Exalted
Simulacrum: 156 Exalted
Audience with the King: 1970 Exalted
Not sure what logbook is going for, not in the exchange and wide range on trade

I dont mind RNG to a certain point, but when the odds are stacked too far it becomes less fun for me at least. Don't think locking a boss behind that deep of rarity, especially for one of the four main mechanics in EA makes much sense.
It would be funny if PoE2 got some limited Div cards added as their interpretation of a pity mechanic.

Maybe you put together a set of 12 Div cards and you get your Audience with the King?? Without special farming methods (?) maybe make it so that you would expect to get a set of 12 Div cards about the same time that you would normally get TWO "invites"??


This way if RNG is way against you on the invite at least you may be able to farm up Div cards.


Note: I would be shocked if Audience wouldn't be the most in-demand invite by an order [two orders] of magnitude so the price doesn't surprise me one bit.
I forgot they had splinters in POE1. Sounds good to me.

Oh my, I'm glad I beat the game a right before exalts dropped in value. Although the problem is simply the usefulness of ritual compared to others for crafting. GGG needs to change what omens do and move part of their function to other mechanics.

Yeah, wondering what happened to divination cards.
The crew I play with has a combined 500 hrs played and we have combined seen two audiences with a king.

Like this isn't even an end game activity as you don't really get to play the fight.
