For selffound player farming div card is not too special since i need 10 unique maps for challenges just as an example. for divine orbs you farm tabula etc.

I like the initiative.

But i really dropped in to tell you that I've tested a lot of cards, with my IIQ runner (153 IIQ in Standard, yes, that is with the IIQ gem), and found out that MOST valuable cards are not farmable. With your 47 IIQ, you have do run three times as many runs as I did. And... I... Ran... A... Lot...

Some exceptions, though, "Humility" being one of them.

And by "farmable", I mean "able to farm without loosing I_NO's sanity". Or in other words, "worth my God damn time".

Yea its kinda hard to farm most cards. Its more about useful farmeable cards for selffound since those players have quiet a good use for some div cards. Gonna change title

For unlocking unique maps, start running regular maps with the Perandus Zana mod. Cadiro seems to sell an awful lot of unique maps. In ~ 100 maps With Perandus on them, I have gotten somewhere around 10 unique maps from him.

Well that means 400c less to craft gear which means 200 chaos recipe for 10 unique maps. I think farming them is much faster.

Your calculation is incorrect btw.
Base iq is 100%
You have 150% ~ iiq so you are at ~250.
I do have 50% ~ iiq so I am at ~150.
Which means that you have like 66% higher droprate not 300%.

Hey there.

I don't know if this will be helpful but still want to write a post.

The Beast card - ACT 9 Belly of the Beast area.

This league (Incursion) i decided to play on SSF, so had few options on how to get the needed chest piece and instead of chancing and prophecy gambling i went for div cards farming.

I started farming Belly of the Beast area at lvl 75 (too late, i know) and according to my calculations i had 25% div card drop penalty (2,5*(75-(63+2))) but i had 11% IIR so it's -14% total, i guess.

I had a mediocre clear speed (4-5min for a run) with Whirling Blades as a movement skill and 30% increased MS boots (no Quicksilver flask).

Overall it took me 6h 22min to get all 6 cards, i timed all of them (1:36, 2:52, 2:53, 4:31, 6:21, 6:22), so basically it is 1 card per hour.

Alongside i got 1 Oath and 1 Hunger, ~20 tier 1 maps, 6-8 low-mid tier uniques (like Princess Sabre, Mortrem Morsu Claw, Kitava's Thirst Helmet, etc.) and bunch of currency.

Even though this is my only 3,5 league and i don't have that much experience playing PoE i still think this was worth my time, i liked the area and the drop itself.

I felt obliged to write the post because when i searched for the same info to make a decision of if it is worth the time to farm i did not find any so hopefully this will help some of you.

Good luck and wish you all the best!

Thanks for the reply.
