Should I go all in with rarity of item found for currency farming?

This might be a bit of a silly question but I am thinking what would the best way for me to farm currency at the moment.

right now my best gear has 84% rarity on item found and I am able to run through tier 15-18 map without too much trouble. Still, the drops are not super good and I didn't see that big of a different from when I have like 20% rarity on item found.

So I am wondering, if we strictly talk about currency farming, would it be better for me to get something like 300% rarity on item found and go do low tier map like tier 1-5 instead of keep doing high tier map with under 100% rarity on item found?

I know ultimately it come down to each person luck but I just wanna know what is generally best way to do it considering I dont have the fund to get gears of similar power level with higher rarity on item found at the moment.

Edit* this is for POE2. Sorry I forgot both game share the same forum (I think?) so it might be confusing.

rarity will probably get nerfed when they come back in the new year so keep that in mind when investing too much into rarity gear

yea Im thinking about that too. But as I still have some couple days (or at least a week) before the inevitable nerf arrive, I think it might be a good idea to invest in it while I can.
Rarity (Magic Find) is a time spent over time vs. tradeable currency acquired gain. If you have 100% Rarity on gear, and roll your waystones/precursors with quant/rarity (also further increase the quant/rarity with atlas tree) you will over 10 maps grind get significantly more currency (mostly exalted orbs). You will often see Rare mobs drop 2 Exalted orbs or maybe even more (I don't know how wild the scaling and reach go). At least from my own experience, I see 2 exalted orb drops from rares very frequently (I have not deeply invested or play a build for Rarity purposes, just have some pieces and focus waystones/precursors and atlas tree to boost it).

I don't think they will remove rarity from gear, there's about 10 more things they shouldn't have brought over from PoE 1, but they did anyway. There's certainly someone in department who wants to keep rarity on gear ingame.
Rarity is not getting nerfed. Nobody would play PoE 2 as it would be pointless. Without Rarity there are no drops period.

I do not like being forced into rarity. But I also am glade its there because I would not play one more minute without it. Nothing dropped before I didn't have rarity in t15 maps.

I think you'd have better results if you invest in juicing your maps instead. It's easier to get +100% rarity on map, then on gear.
if you got the resources to invest into more, go for it.
Never hurts even if they slightly nerf it a bit, which is kinda unlikely tho.
They might adjust the amount you get on gear but I wouldn't really call that a nerf
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
