POSSIBLE IIQ IN CHALLENGE LEAGUES:

perandu belt: 6-8
thief ring: 10-16
goldwyrm boots: 14-20
sadima gloves: 12-16
(divination distillate: 12-18. (15-23 with alchemist passive))

sum of all: 42-60 (54-78 with divination flask (57-83 with divination flask and alchemist passive))

maybe i missed some items else i don't think you can get any higher iiq than this.

i think the guide should be updated to reflect what items can actually be obtained now. it's kind of silly that all these legacy items and gems are included here resulting in iiq values well over 83.

u can still get over 100 IQ easily. Just roll your maps right. I carry around Sadima's Touch, Aursieze, Goldwyrm, and Wondertrap and swap depending on how much IIQ I need to hit c8, Unless of course map IIQ is totally different somehow.

Just did 10 dom runs with 458//89 and got 1 unique. Gonna take off 73 ir, do another 10 dom runs and see if my unique's increase. then i will be at 333/ 89.

Edit:
Okay i just ran another 10 dom runs minus the 73 ir so i was at 333/89. I got 8 uniques this time :).
now i can drop my andvarius cuse it was making my loot worse!

From thread 725812:

This is more of an explanation of how the quantity and the rarity mechanics works. I'll try to explain to the best of my ability in my point of view, how to balance the Magic Find of our farmer the most optimal way. [*Fixed Grammar]

--THEORY--
What is the best? High Quantity? High Rarity? More of the former than of the latter? At what proportions?

The best, pulling logic and tutorials on the subject, is a correct balancing of both. Nice to increase our IIQ in order to increase the enemies drop. And equally important, increase our IIR for those items may fall as much as possible magic, rares, or uniques.

Let's use this formula to calculate a good balancing between IIQ and IIR:



The higher this coefficient, the greater balance we'll get on our MF gear in order to obtain more rare items.

The plot of this formula would be something like this:
