I've done a whole bunch of resonator/fossil farming at different depths following ZiggyD's guide. Looks like the resonators are just like any other currency. They all can drop from anything, but higher lv mobs are more likely to drop more rare currency. You can get an exalt in low level content. 4-socket resonator is that exalt. 3-socket is like a chaos orb. Etc. Mobs become lv 83 at depth 270. Consider that T16, and there is nothing higher there. After that there is no further increases in the quality of drops.

And a side note: Watcher's Eye has an even bigger QoL bonus for fossil farming than for mapping! Enemies in darkness are invulnerable to damage, but they can be hit. At low depths (below 200) they can't really hurt you. It looks like they are actually blind and can't see in the darkness. You get hit a whole lot less often in the dark than normally.

Cast Icestorm on them, Flame Dash past them and get the stuff in the side rooms. ES gain on hit will easily outheal the darkness. You don't even need flares. I've been running around with 100+ stacks of darkness on me grabbing fossils/resonators/currency like a champ! :)

Is this the reason why these Watcher's Eyes are 6ex+ right now? I remember they were much cheaper the last league.

Hey All!

Been following this guide, currently level 87 with pretty decent gear. I just got perfect roll % increased attributes Eyes of the Greatwolf - 32% increased attributes.

I previously had a perfect Astramentis, here's a quick comparison in PoB. Seems like a decent Greatwolf might be BiS?

I hate doing Lab with this build, I imagine it's the same for any CI character. Vaal Discipline is all we can do really, plus super-speed flasks like this:

Otherwise, all we can really do is be careful.
