*Increased Item Rarity (IIR) Increases the chances of an item being magic, rare, or unique. This statistic has no effect on the number or type of currency items, scrolls, or gems that drop since they have no rarity like normal, magic, rare or unique. [4] Magic, rare, and unique monsters have an inherent increased item rarity statistic for drops. When in a party, only the statistics from the player who lands the killing blow on an enemy is applied - multiple characters attacking a monster will not stack their item rarity bonuses together. If one of your minions gets a kill, the minion's IIR is added to yours and the total is used. **Increased Item Quantity (IIQ) Increases the average number of items that drop from monsters (aka Drop Rate). This includes currency, scrolls, skill gems and divination cards. [5] There is no cap on the usefulness of this statistic, since there is no limit to the number of items a monster can drop. Only the IIQ of the containing area and the party bonus affects chests or strongboxes, [6] and it does not affect the type, quality, or rarity of item dropped, only the chance that something will drop. [3] A player's IIQ does not affect the amount of maps that drop from enemies. [7] However, a map's IIQ does affect the amount of map drops.[8] In a party, each player in the party after the first gives the equivalent of +50% item quantity statistic on currency and gem drops along with a statistic of +10% item quantity and +40% item rarity on other drops[9] (this also doesn't affect map drops). The base chance for an item to drop varies between monster types, and drop rate increases with monster rarity. The party bonus as well as any bonus the monster gives are additive with each other and multiply with the quantity bonus of the player who gets the killing blow.[10] Recipe for Success 1) Level your character to your desired Level (typically 85+) A) Level up your "main" gems for MF swap in your off hand as soon as you are able. When you swap gear you won't be at level 1 gems. B) Select a character that is the same ascendancy or can very easily swap over to your desired tree. The less you have to Orb of Regret early on, the better. 2) Swap to as much MF gear as you have found/purchased/can afford A) [Gloves] Sadima's touch (10% quant) B) [Boots] Goldwyrm (20% quant) C) [Chest] Queen of the Forest (Speed) or Greed's Embrace (15% Quant/50% Rarity) D) [Rings] (See points of comparison #4B) E) [Amulet] (See points of comparison #4D) F) Windripper 5L (for low map farming) 6L (for higher tier farming) G) Belt (See points of comparison #4A) 3) Select the lay that has both A) A layout that is pleasing to you (You'll be running a ton of these....sooooo make sure it's something you enjoy). B) A zone that drops either a consistent card/item that you can sell in bulk, or a high value card that drops making your time worth while. 4) Points of comparison A) Would you rather have Rampage, more increased item quantity (8%), or a Headhunter? i. Gain speed and flat damage (Rampage) - budget option ii. Gain 8% increased item quantity from Perandus Blazon - budget option iii. Gain stacks from Rares (HH) - most expensive option B) Budget Ring vs Dream Ring i. Pariah (white socket) gives 15% quant and +2 levels to socketed gems (no resistances) ii. Ventors Gamble can give up to 10% quant and 40% rairty with (potentially) triple Resistances!!! C) Budget Helm vs Dream Helm i. Starkonja's Head - gives dex, crit, life, and attackspeed. Good flat amount of evasion. ii. Devoto's Devotion - gives dex, similar evasion to Starkonja's, also 20% movement speed. D) Budget Amulet vs Dream Amulet i. Karui ward gives 10% Movespeed 30% proj speed 30% increased proj damag and is MUCH cheaper ii. Biscos Collar gives 150% IIR vs magic enemies and 50% IIQ vs normal enemies but is MUCH tougher to roll top end Top end IIQ = 15% from Windripper (frozen enemies) 15% from Greed's Embrace 10% from Sadima's Touch 20% from Goldwyrm 50% from Bisco's Collar (normal enemies) 15% from Pariah #1 (White socket) 15% from Pariah #2 (White socket) 8% from Parandus Blazon 18% from Divination Distillate (during flask effect) Total IIQ on a frozen normal enemy while flask is in effect = 166%
