Does IR/IQ Affect Large Chest drops?

I am wondering if item quantity, and item rarity affects large chest drops? I have searched the forums but there are 50% of the people saying yes it does, and 50% says no it doesn't.

Can anyone actually confirm if it does indeed affect its loot?

Both IR and IQ do not affect chests.
The only exception is the IQ given as an implicit mod on endgame maps. That quantity does affect chests. And map drops too.

2 complaints with the game. Large chest drops are abysmal and Unique monster drops are just as bad.

Sometimes I just skip the unique monsters rather than have a hard fight because I know the drop isn't going to be worth it.

^^

they are usually better then drops from rare mobs and thats enough for me.

but of all mobs, my heart rejoice when i see 30ish magic lil monkeys rushing toward me. hello drops.

Would partying with 6 people make the chest give more loot, or is that also unaffected?

Well it´s similiar to Diablo, the further you get, the more time you need to advance from there.

My complaint here is, that this is starting way too early. I´m in the 50´s now and I didn´t find a single item I could use since more than 10 levels. As Endgame is supposed to start in the mid-60´s, actually I feel I should find better gear on a regular basis while leveling up there.

I still wear an amulett for level 14, because I didn´t find any better amulett for more than 40 levels now.

And I never skipped any unique mobs, but you are pretty right, the loot is more than often not worth the effort.

Skipping harder uniques while leveling is smart, and it's one of the things that adds a bit of skill/strategy to race events.

However, once you get to high level content, you will want to clear those harder mobs whenever you can, because they drop higher ilvl items.

IIQ/IIR from your gear does not affect chests, so there's not point in "gearing up" for the Vaults of Atziri. You may as well wear nothing at all so you can carry more stuff out.

So there is a quote from an actual GGG dev on the subject from this thread:
