Quantity VS Rarity?
|
without any adds, im currently sitting at 34% quantity and 154% rarity and recently acquired my 5link. Spark, faster casting, spell totem, fork, but then, IIR or IIQ? What would be best?
Edit: Just acquired these within 1 ledge o_o RNG or results i wonder..

IIQ definitely
I've found 25-40 IIQ and 100 IIR ratio to be very fruitful So a bit more IIQ would help u all round and more currency drops never hurt. "Truth be told, I have no idea what the fuck is going on anymore." Stephen Hawkins

Depends on what you want to find. Want more drops in general, particularly orbs and gems? IIQ all the way. Going hunting for uniques? Then the IIR gem is the way to go.

" What im about to post might be wrong. If someone knows better please post up and correct me. But I believe the following is true. always IIQ. Expressing magic find as a %, we are talking about the % of your base find, so the base find is 100%. If you get 100% IIR that means you have a total of 200%, thats twice as many uniques, rares and blues dropping. However 100% IIQ means twice as many of those things too, and twice as many white items (chroms, 6 sockets) and twice as much currency dropped. Win. Then, we take the way they multiply each other. So you got +100% IIR for a total of 200%. Twice as many uniques. But if you add another 100% IIR this makes 300% total, three times as much. If you add 100% IIQ instead for a total of 200% quantity, that doubles the amount of uniques that drop, and you were already dropping twice as many from the IIR, so now you are getting 4x as many drops from an extra 100% IIQ and only 3x from another 100% IIR. So quantity trumps rarity because of whites/currency and keeping a similar level of both is more profitable for item finding than putting all your points into one or the other. As far as I know this i true, I would be interested to hear from anyone who can correct what Ive said if I have got it wrong. In practice stacking quant is very hard, and youll probably end up with like 300iir/100iiq, but you do what you can within the items you have. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

" That sounds about right, but the gems have different values aswell. IIQ gem atm is at 30% while IIR is at 51%. |

" Given that the OP stated he was at: 34% quantity and 154% rarity IIQ gem will yield more uniques, rares, magic and more currency in this case, no contest whatsoever. Your rarity applies to the items that drop, quantity makes more items drop, peak efficiency at finding "rare" items happens when iiq and iir are equal. Rarity has no bearing on currency, so if you just want more currency and dont care about items, always stack quantity. Simple test: if you are faced with adding X IIQ or Y IIR, figure out what your totals will be after, multiply your IIR and IIQ together and go with whatever gives you the bigger number if you're rare hunting.

" lightning pen. The increase in damage = more mob deaths = more loot dropping. I think this is worth way more than the IIQ/IIR gem. If you want IIQ/IIR get some low life uniques. Now if you have a 6L, I'd say added crit damage, but you could probably affort putting in an IIQ/IIR gem here. |

Put your IIR/IIQ gems a separate skill with culling for rare/boss kills. Then when it's at 10% health hit them once for the insta kill with higher IIQ/IIR.

" Lighting penetration. And the 6-th would be crits. Forget about those iiq or iir gems |
