What is a good IIR and IIQ?

Hi!
Im just starting do hit the higher levels with my maurauder and wanted to know what a good IIR and/or IIQ rating is?

I currently run fellshrine ruins runs for xp on merciless but I find it easy enough to use only my highest IIR rating gear:



This gives 197% IIR and only 12 % IIQ.

Should i try to balance these values against each other, and is this a "decent" IIR rating? How often would i see a unique drop with this?

So far ive made about 50 runs and found2 uniques, is this about right or am i RNG blessed or hated?

How can i make this more effective? I cant afford Andvarious yet, any other items that migth boost me?

i think the best is 0

more killspeed

Although it's rather arbitrary, I've seen 1:2 IIQ:IIR recommended as values to run. 200% IIR is decent. While we do not know the exact mechanics of IIR at this time, one could reasonably assume that uniques will drop approximately 3X more often with your IIR value. If you increase your IIQ to about 100%, then 6X. Eriktion's comment on killspeed is, of course, relevant.

Thx for the answers...

Regarding killspeed; it would be safe to assume that for this approach to be viable i would have to kill things 3 times faster to get the same drop amount?

Not a chance in hell i could triple my dps and runspeed within the confines of a few armour pieces.

Hmm? Yes. But the real question isn't how much faster you would have to kill to get the same amount, but rather how much slower you are killing by having made the choice to get into IIR/IIQ gear. Chances are, however: "not 3X slower." So you are right.

It's possible to farm 66-70 rare maps solo as a melee with 80% IIQ and 200% IIR without dropping much in the way of clearing speed (but obviously taking a big hit to survivability). I'm currently doing this myself.

You need to get more IIQ currently. You'll probably need atleast one Andvarius ring to keep your IIR high when swapping in some IIQ.

I'd expect to see atleast 1 unique every 2 maps to give you an idea.

Your gear cries for more IIQ man! 12 is absolutely not enough

Look, My MF gear is 130% IIQ and 120% IIR, and I am finding tons of uniques (farming merveil, like 1 / 5mins)

Actually I would think that when farming normal mobs the IIR is better, but at bosses IIQ is a larger factor. Why?

Because normal mobs drop so many white anyway that the amount of drops doesnt matter, but the rarity does.

On bosses, which already have high rarity, adding more items is more important.

Or am I wrong here?

Well you aren't wrong or right, IMO what matters most is a good balance of both

Dont forget rarity and quantity gem, the combo skill+culling strike+rarity+quantity is fabulous.
If you are overleveling the zone where you are farming, you could even put them on your main aoe skill.
