What's the best strongbox you can roll?

Is there a + 1 Unique mod? Or Anything to that extent?

extra socket fully linked

Singularity. Don't get too excited though; it's pretty much the same chances and drops than Inner Treasure on rare mobs.

Loot-wise, I'd bet more mobs (stream, rares, magics, exiles) and item quantity. Rarity doesn't do much as the base rarity is pretty low.

On Cartos, a Corrupted Cartographer's Strongbox of Kalandra of Abundance and bam, your map pool is now doubled.

gem cutters, 20% quality
Armorers extra socket, fully linked.

Edit: i guess gotta put cartos in here, quantity, extra items, mirrored. But this really only applies in high maps.

I have heard reports that "fully-linked" is processed before "added-socket", so an item originally generated as 5S pops out of the box as a 6S5L only. Can anyone confirm that?

Took a screenshot after yoloing the box and realising the mods on it - already killed the exile and most the mobs in the picture. Didnt get anything of note, in fact I think everything went to vendor, incuding the unique, think it was Lightbane Raiment or some shite. But still, those mods...

I found this strongbox while venturing trough act 1 in merciless.

Gem box =

Quality > experience > all other mods

Armourer boxes =

extra sockets for jew recipe

However if =

+ items/+ rare items = vaal orb for win (don't do this on extra sockets/fully linked boxes, vaal overwrites these mods anyway)

jewellers box

+3 rare

If additional items = vaal orb for potential 6 stat rares and rare implicit corruptions (+1 curse amulets etc)

cartographer boxes

Below lvl 73

mirror > iiq > + items > +lvl

+ vaal orb for shard farming maps and good iir rolls if your build can handle this strategy

Above 74

dito but don't vaal orb. From lvl 77 and upwards scrap +lvl

mini guide = complete, feel free to add tips.

Peace,

quality or experience with +8 items, quality and experience together aren't that great if the q is low enough that it's just vendor food for gcp's, also the base drop can be as low as 0-2 gems sometimes. (i got 0 drops from a 20q box once, was sad)

also

Arcanist box =

+8 items > 60% quantity > +lvl

Hiy i totally forgot about arcanist boxes.

arcanist box

transmute/allt spam until +6 items or 50+%iiq

then augment if need be and regal.

The reason for this approach is that an arcanist box almost never justifies the use of a lot of currency, so one has to maximize return vs minimal investment.

Similar approaches should be utilized on all the boxes. For instance, in high lvl maps a +3 magic packs roll can be worthwhile not rerolling the box, simply because of the xp gain and potential +1 map drops, which might be much more valuable then potential drops.
