Definitely need some kind of reduction on the tier nerf for event ritual success. Even with 48% chance increase to success, I've done through like 50+ of resources without succeeding, because of the tier divider and the huge amount of essence required for upgrades. Getting the next ingredient upgrade will take months at the current rate with how slow everything is, but the event lasts only two weeks. Wouldn't be so bad if this didn't have a time limit, but there's seriously no way to get enough resources for rewards in this time limit with the bad RNG.
Yes, and the part that limits us the most even with all that RNG is how slowly magic generates. We could deal with RNG if we didn't have to wait forever to gather ingredients (many of which get wasted bc it might not help your recipes). The time limit of the event definitely makes the speed of magic and essence gain not work well together yet.
