Diablo 3 Altar of Rites - Best Unlock Order

In case you're a new player or just want a refresher, the Rite of Sanctuary is just the name of the new skill tree introduced in Season 28 of Diablo 3. This new skill tree is accessed by finding the Altar of Rites in the Festering Woods near Tristram. Once interacted with, you'll see that you can unlock 26 Seals as well as 3 bonus potions, which, when unlocked, will grant you a final bonus one.

Diablo 3 Altar of Rites - Seal Costs

Best Diablo 3 Altar of Rites Unlock Path Each Skill and tips
Each skill has a cost and can only be unlocked after the preceding one, so store up as many of the resources needed as you can to unlock them quickly. (Picture: Blizzard)

The Seals are connected to another one, meaning that you need to unlock the previous seal to access the next one along the skill tree. They also each come at their own cost, so before diving into the best unlock order, be sure to check out the prices of each Seal so you can keep track of what resources you need to unlock the next one.
