Maraketh version done.

i cant decide between using 6 portals of rares to vendors for around 15 alterarions orb
OR
just speed run farm for more : currency/6s drop/recipe(jewelry)

So jelly of that maraketh bow XD.

Been trying to find one to craft for the last week but sadly no one has white 6L maraketh bows for sale.

EDIT: Xeno, speedrun is probably worth more currency in the long run. Personally I don't mind taking 10 to 15 minutes per map to completly clear it and vendor everything or nearly everything (sometimes there's just too much loot for 6 portals to be enough XD ). So I guess it's up to playstyle. Mine is, no profit is left behind, no stragglers are left alive. Otherwise it's a waste of map.

Nice one! And grats on your level 4 Empower - I've got about 6 empowers I'm leveling now in hopes of getting one.

Just wondering... with level 4 empower, have you thought of coloring one of your bows so that you can run both Item Quantity and Item Rarity? Seems like this might be worthwhile if DPS doesn't suffer too much.

Actually that's what I'm going to do hank. I'll use poison arrow + slower projectiles + concentrated effect + empower + item rarity + item quantity. The cloud is definitly much smaller but with a 20% PA and carcass jack it's still a decent size.

However simply adding item quantity is detrimental. There is a table showing that unless you go "full retard" on both item rarity and item quantity it's not worth going past a certain amount in both. This means you'll also want to add aurseize, have the best MF amulet you can get and 70 andys. Just stack both as high as you possibly can and rare all maps to further increase quantity and quallity.

I disagree.

What is not worthwhile though is pushing far enough above the diminishing returns point on IIQ/IIR such that clear speed suffers and you end up netting less wealth.

It's not about diminuishing returns. The people who tested this basicly got less rares when they went past a certain limit. It was actively detrimental except when they just pumped both IIQ and IIR to very high levels at which point while deiminishing returns were in effect, they were still gaining more rather than actively losing.
