Maps: When to Transmute/Aug/Alt

Hi,

If you have low level maps (66-67), how should I go about transmute/auging them? I.e., what types of map mods should I consider suitable for running?

Thank you,

p.s. was looking around to see if I could find on a wiki; could not.

I don't know what kind of answer are you expecting. The mods you are looking for depend on your build obviously. Look for the ones you are able to overcome? If you are heavy dependant on mana regen, you clearly don't want "players cannot regenerate health and mana"... I hope you can follow.

I do follow. I was specifically looking for feedback on the types of maps that are of sufficient size and variety to make finding more maps more likely. I had seen at one time a poster going on about this, and wanted to see if I could find that information again. Maze, increased monster pack size, are obvious, but: what's the whole list?

I generally look for

1 - Pack Size/Maze/Area is X% larger
2 - Increased magic mobs by X%
3 - Players regen 50% slower/attack, cast, move speed up for enemies/Chaos damage per second
4 - Curses

If it doesn't fit the bill, do you then just alter it?

Yup! I augment whenever it is possible to augment it, and if am not satisfied with the 2 mods that came out as a result, I proceed to alteration.

i run every map Q > 30 on 66-67 as long as it doesnt have -base resist , ele weakness, vulner, temporal chain, enfeeble on my LA

The best mods for 66/67 maps are more magic monsters, more rare monsters, larger pack size, larger area, and maze. These will really help your drops, and generally won't bother any build at all. In fact, these mods are generally amazing, while on higher-level maps, Twinned comes into play as another really good choice (unless you're on Temple or Shrine. Just... Don't. For your own sanity. Don't.). Beyond that, Fleet, Temporal Chains, and any other mod that throws on 20-30% IIQ is great. Generally you don't want to spend too much in terms of resources on low-level maps, though.

Anything 70 or below is worth trans/aug/alt

Anything above you chisel alch/chaos till it's fun/rewarding.
