Welcome, Exiles! This is the first Path of Exile 2 (PoE2) Ritual Omens Report for the Dawn of the Hunt League, dated April 17, 2025, marking the 13th day since the league's launch on April 4, 2025. Ritual Omens in PoE2 are powerful consumable items that enhance crafting or provide in-game effects, often obtained through Ritual encounters in endgame maps. They can significantly influence gear optimization by modifying the outcomes of currency items like
Chaos Orbs or
Orbs of Annulment, making them highly sought after for mid- and late-game crafting. Since this is the first Ritual Omens report of the season, we'll compare with last season's data from December 17, 2024 (Standard League), captured just before the economic collapse triggered by patch 0.1.0e on December 19. Let's explore the Ritual Omens market!
PoE2 Omen Market Observations & Trends
New Omens in Dawn of the Hunt
This season introduces several new Ritual Omens—Omen of Answered Prayers, Omen of the Hunt, Omen of Reinforcements, and Omen of Secret Compartments—priced at 2 Ex, 5 Ex, 6.5 Ex, and 6 Ex, respectively. These new additions, likely tied to the league's theme of hunting and exploration, show moderate to high demand, with Reinforcements being the priciest among them, possibly due to its utility in enhancing Ritual encounters.
High-Value Omens: Mixed Trends Compared to Last Season
Compared to last season's data on December 17, 2024, high-value Ritual Omens show significant shifts:
Omen of Dextral Annulment and Omen of Dextral Erasure: Now have market data at 232 Ex and 230 Ex, respectively, reflecting their rarity and high demand for targeted crafting effects, such as precise modifier removal. These were unavailable last season, suggesting either a new drop source or increased visibility in the Dawn of the Hunt League.
Omen of Sinistral Erasure and Omen of Sinistral Annulment: Dropped sharply from 700 Ex to 150 Ex and 400 Ex to 127 Ex, respectively, compared to last season. This decline may reflect a higher supply or reduced demand for these specific crafting effects in the current meta.
Omen of Whittling: Surged from 36 Ex last season to 150 Ex this season, a 4.17-fold increase, indicating its continued dominance in the market, likely due to its critical role in meta crafting strategies.
Mid-Tier Omens: Generally Higher Prices This Season
Compared to last season's equivalent date (December 17, 2024), mid-tier Omens have generally increased in value:
Omen of Amelioration: Rose from 4 Ex to 8.80 Ex, more than doubling, showing sustained demand for its experience loss prevention effect.
Omen of Greater Annulment: Increased from 4 Ex to 6 Ex, a 50% rise, reflecting its utility in precise crafting adjustments.
Omen of Sinistral Alchemy and Omen of Sinistral Exaltation: Jumped from 1 Ex to 2.6 Ex and 3 Ex, respectively, suggesting growing interest in these modifier-altering effects.
Low-Tier Omens: Mixed Changes Compared to Last Season
Low-tier Omens show varied trends compared to last season:
Omen of Refreshment, Dextral Alchemy, Dextral Coronation, and Dextral Exaltation: Dropped significantly (e.g., Refreshment from 1 Ex to 0.12 Ex, Dextral Coronation from 1 Ex to 0.05 Ex), making them more affordable for early-game players experimenting with Ritual mechanics.
Omen of Resurgence: Slightly increased from 1 Ex to 1.48 Ex, indicating modest demand for its survivability benefits.
Last Season's Context: Pre-Collapse Dynamics
Last season's data from December 17, 2024, before the 0.1.0e patch collapse, shows a market with more uniform pricing for low-tier Omens (mostly 1 Ex) and extremely high values for rare Omens like Sinistral Erasure (700 Ex) and Sinistral Annulment (400 Ex). Compared to last season, this season's Ritual Omens market exhibits greater price diversity, with high-value Omens like Dextral Annulment and Whittling reaching 232 Ex and 150 Ex, respectively, while low-tier Omens have become cheaper. This reflects GGG's economic adjustments in the Dawn of the Hunt League, meta shifts, and potentially increased drop rates for certain Omens.
Looking Ahead
As the Dawn of the Hunt League progresses, Ritual Omens prices may shift based on crafting trends and Ritual encounter popularity. High-value Omens like Omen of Dextral Annulment and Omen of Whittling may remain expensive if their crafting utility stays central to meta builds, while new Omens like Omen of Reinforcements could see price increases if their effects prove impactful. Low-tier Omens, now more affordable, may become staple tools for early-game players. Compared to last season's market, this season shows a more dynamic economy, suggesting evolving player priorities and market conditions.
