Max Item Rarity / Quality Character To Farm Low Level Uniques

IIQ is MUCH better when paired with IIR

like if you had +100% of each you get 2x more rare items and 4 times the chance for rares
200% IIR only nets you 3x more rares not taking diminishing returns into effect

the IIQ is magnified multiplicativly while partied. so 100% of each is 7x more items and 14x more rares in a full party.
while 200% iir is only 7x more rares, again, not taking diminishing returns into effect

TL;DR get as much IIQ as possible then, as a lesser priority, get IIR to farm for any unique/items.

Put this on swap and use for boss/unique killing

Bear trap + Increased Item Rarity + Increased Item Quantity

I also think you are overall undervaluing quantity in your build. you want quality to be very high sure, but given a choice at some point you want to boost quantity super high as well even at the cost of rarity.

Just so I'm not again misinformed, does Increased Item Quantity affect items (not just orbs) too?

Increasing your Rarity percentage will increase the likelihood that you will find Magic, Rare or Unique items. Increasing your Quantity percentage will increase the amount of Orbs you find.

Yes quantity increases all dropps (aside from maps).
