Do devotion shrines after 55 make sense?

[Fake News Fredo]

I'm at elite & 71 shrines at the moment.
The fighting shrines are no problem, but some will need rare mats to get, even more when
i get to ultimete. I'm wondering if there is any need for this beyond the loot, xp or a quest.
I have all 55 dev points i need, i have the 60 achievement, i don't really want to loose a ton
of ancient hearts, or something like that, for nothing.

No there is no point beyond it being like a big super chest for loot. I tend to ignore the ones that require materials and just cleanse the cursed ones.

Even though I regularly get core items for some of my characters from those that need materials.

[Aelies von Saladir]

Well, consider how many Legendary items I have got from those shrines, I would say they are still worth restoring.

[Myagony]

Those mats arnt rly that rare, you get good loot. I restore.

[The_Mess]

They actually have a pretty good chance of dropping epic and legendary loot, which is why I religiously try and get every single one. But usually cursed ones have the best chance for good loot it seems, especially if they spawn lots of enemy heroes :3

[Fake News Fredo]

I guess i will get all in epic, to have all options in ultimete.
This way i can always get the missing ones, when i have like
100 ancient hearts.

You can see it as kind of "gambling" for legendaries, at least in Ultimate. Sometimes you get 2-3 leggies, sometimes a common component.

They usually also spawn something like 3-6 hero/boss type mobs, so that's a lot of reputation and potential loot.

I restore all of them. For the loot, sure, but mostly 'cause it's annoying if the shrine isn't completed on the world map.

It just bugs me off. Materials are easy to get.

I'm updating this, for new guys who might have the same questions.

I'm on ultimate now, have 23 of 58 shrines so far & it's not worth the rare mats.
In version V1.1.1.2 every damn shrine on ultimate drops a few greens.

The rare mats are not that rare anymore on ultimate, that much is true, the rest is
outdated information. The game just droped 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ greens on eastmarch, for a
mistborn talisman & brain matter. I don't believe in 23 times bad luck, not one shrine
dropped a legendary.

i got 2 legendaries from shrines and several blues, just today, still works
whether or not mats shrines are worth the gamble is up to each person, -but wave shrines are definitely worth the 5seconds

If you look at the mistborn talisman & what mats you'll need to craft this.
dropping 2 greens is very, very poor balancing.
On ultimate, every shrine should give at leat one purple.
The fights are hard, the mats are rare. This is the kind of unbalanced game,
that pisses me off that much. time for a break, i guess.

Ultimate is supposed to be hard, specially if you aren't beginning to optimize gear or build here and there
and if shrines was guaranteeing a legend each time it would be ridiculous, way too easy to get for the reward, making stuff like roguelike dungeons near pointless and probably the best, easiest, most secure repeatable legendary farm beating out crucible if you could just run shrines over and over given there are so many shrines now (or that getting to ultimate shrines have gotten easier too)
mistborn you can practically buy from vendor, sure it takes a little run from the portal , but other than that it's still just low tier components, like the other.. couple of shrines are bit expensive, and thus probably not worth the gamble, but even with a non guaranteed/"low chance" most of the shrines are not that expensive you couldn't reasonably afford it -when not on your first char
when first/if still just starting out, no, don't waste mats on shrines, the chance are not worth the gamble then, but on alts after you've run through the game XX hours and have a decent little stash, sure, bet away if feel lucky

Same
I just restore them for the look of my map, not even for a possible good loot

Rare mats arent rare at all in ultimate anyway

I'm talking apples, you are talking bananas.
It's not about farming, rougelike dungeons, hard/easy or whatever.
there are 58 shrines on ultimete, if each would givie a legendary, you'll end up with
3-5 max that you can use for your build. This would make farming useless & is overpowered ?

shrines, heroes, bosses, should give no greens at all.
normal, epic & ultimate crap enemies drop greens enough.
I'm missing 10 pieces of gear on ultimate, ♥♥♥♥ off with your greens, not woth my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.

by the way, of course i do farming runs. shrines unlock once on ultimate,
some people did not notice after 800+ hours.

missing the point
if you can get 58 legends, guaranteed, in the time it takes to rush shrines, it would be ridiculous reward x/time spent
"repeat" farming was not the main point. just merely getting 50+ that quick and easy would completely squander the sense of rarity -you are supposed to farm for them
and since it's rng you could get plenty you could use "on that char" -ofc could also not, but either way "involvement"/reward would be absurd
and yes you could actually repeat "farm" them either by save scumming(would probably be easier than crucible even), or just rush some alts up with merits
as a contrast, (vs just walking up to a shrine and doing nothing) -the Rogulike dungeons now have a guarantee of (at least) 1 legend, per run. But it involves not only the "risk" but also the "task" of having to clear it, -get paid for your efforts
shrines is neither risk, effort or anything
even treasure troves don't guarantee a legend or "good stuff".
you might be tired of greens, perhaps you just need to visit the church of RNGesus more and pray a little. (that's if you haven't accidentally turned your lootfilter off )
But shrines would be way way to easy a way to literally just be handed best stuff in game, for nothing in return...
think you've got a case of the "hand me"mindset atm ;)
