Yeah if you can fit the res balance and don't mind the AoE coverage without Carcass Jack. It never used to be but now it has significantly better damage rolls.

Am confused about 1 thing in MF. To farm for currency like ex etc.. do we need to have high IIQ or IIQ and IIR. I been reading around a lot and cant seem to find an answer to this. I'v Gone through half of the posts on the thread and other forms and No direct answer to this,

At the moment i got 62% IIQ and 237% IIR with 70% on the gem. If i should go flat IIR or go with Both.



Any suggestions, Am ok with res i can handle T11 and 12.

To find only more currency, all you need is high Quantity.

high Quantity, zero or low Rarity = more currency, lots of white items, almost zero blue, yellow and unique items;
zero or low Quantity, high Rarity = less currency, fewer items in general (but inside them, more blues+yellows+uniques)

Thats why you want a balance, to still have good currency drops and also good item drops (those blue+yellow items translate into currency in the end and also good uniques = currency, from sale)

Many thanks for your reply. Ok now its clear to me that IIQ is intact more currency. So i will have to balance IIQ with IIR damn this going to be hard as IIQ is no longer drops and people sell them Items super expansive. I'm gonna swap my IIR gem with IIQ i got 7 IIQ lvl 20 from the old days. Hope i will find some IIQ gear that are not super expansive.

Theoretically, to drop the most uniques/rares, you want the product of increased rarity and quantity to be as high as possible - and for the product to be as high as possible, you want rarity and quantity to be as close as possible in value all other things being equal.

However, IIQ is much harder to come by - so in practice, your IIR will always be higher.
=========
In terms of trying to generate as much wealth as possible, IIQ is probably the better stat - IIQ will cause more 6-sockets, more 6-links, more currency, more divination cards, etc. to drop, which represents additional income above and beyond the IIRxIIQ product discussed above (IIRxIIQ applies only to the number of blues/yellows/uniques dropped).
========
Bottom line - you're probably going to be best off by getting as much IIQ as you can - but be sure to get some IIR so that IIQxIIR is as high as possible.

Thanks for the input Serleth. I did some mapping last night according to your loot management philosophy and it was definitely more lucrative than my old methods.

I think the hardest part is leaving behind all those 4x2s when you are just starting the map and have an empty bag. I feel like I'm abandoning my loot, but doing this every time I still find more than enough 2x3 and 2x2 items to fill up completely.


The 0.5 ex per hour seems pretty legit: In 3 hours of mapping I made around 80c, 20 fusings, and 200 alts.

Pretty stoked. I lost my first silverbough to a power outage in a windstorm earlier this week...but I persevered and started over...bought a second silverbranch / silverwood prophecy and 6linked it in about 120 jewelers and 40 fuse.



To be honest, I'm not even sure I'm ready for this power yet. Took all the defensive nodes in the tree first...and am now picking up damage nodes and fleshing out my gear while I'm farming Merci lakes before I switch over to a rarity gem.

Followed your CA build back in 2.2 or 2.3 I believe and had a blast!

I may level up an Occultist CA build for the deeps as well.

Was going to build something else this league but with the cheap +3 bow solution I couldn't resist :p
I went CA right after I got my bow (just a 4L) and drillneck (both at lv36) and it's been a breeze ever since. Just go ham on damage as you're leveling (if softcore) and start picking up convenient life nodes around merciless. I've been running nothing but my 4L setup, grace, frenzy and a flame golem. Easy peasy. About to finish up merciless, then I'll have to get a proper 6L bow :p

Sorry if already asked, didn't find it in search, why no exceptional performance?
