Help: League Atlas Passives, How do you unlock them?

I have unlocked multiple atlas passives but I can't seem to unlock the other league mechanic tree points. I am at Waystone 10 map quest but Have not come across any currency during my breaches, rituals, ext that would help me progress this. Is there a quest I am missing? Please help.

Its currently extremely hard to get those points, ritual for instance the invitation for the boss is going for 6 div, and for good reason, its incredibly rare to find one. And the more atlas points in ritual you have the easier it is to find those, and the omens that are like 1-40 div right now.

Breach is the same thing to a lesser extent. You either buy the breachstones so you can get the atlas, so running breach is significantly more profitable than doing so with 0 atlas passives, or you grind for days for 300 shards and do it again and again.

Expedition sort of the same thing, you need logbooks, and from what I can tell higher level ones are going for 1 divine, and again for good reason.

Delerium is the same situation as breach, its awful with no points, and the best way to make it better is to just buy simulacrums, run them for passives, so you aren't wasting time doing it with awful rewards with +0 delerium tree.

If you want to make any currency right now, aside from RNG from getting a good rare item drop in maps, or just insane RNG in general, you have to invest a lot of currency into these invitations to make it so you start actually getting rewards from waystones with those mechanics on them.


I get these bosses have chase items behind them, and making them easier to access would cheapen the whole expierence. But I really don't think having say half the points obtainable on the atlas, and the other half in boss fights would not be bad.

Say
Do # of breaches in t10+ map to get the first 2 points
Do # of breaches in t15+ maps to get the second 2 points
Points 5-8 are gained from killing the boss

This gives you a good baseline of points to work with, to make the mechanic more rewarding/engaging, and not feel like you have to go to the currency exchange and buy the invitation to make it feel worth it. Keeps the bosses relatively rare etc.

As it stands now you can't really afford to experiment with different mechanics at all early/mid/ and early late game, you NEED to be focusing on one and progress as far you can, that means rushing to towers and using the proper tablets. When you are setup with more currency than you need later on after farming that, you can buy the stuff for other mechanics to give it a go, and skip all the tedious grind of a +0 atlas tree mechanic.

Thanks for the amazing response. I went SSF for my first playthrough because I didn't want to buy my way up. I guess this is the repercussions of that decision. I still stand by it, I think it will make me a better player in the end. I will keep grinding, hopefully GGG notices.

And these will continue to rise in price as more people realize how much money can be generated with 6 atlas passives for ritual, let alone the boss drops pretty much paying for most of the entry fee on average.

So at minimum to get started with ritual you are having to spend 6 div, or get extremely lucky.
