Cruel Merveil Unique Farming Log
|
Intent: This post is to log every 10 kills of Cruel Merveil and the zone leading up to her. I encourage others to farm her a bit as well and post their results along with their IIR/IIQ numbers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Method: I run Cavern of Wrath once and place a portal at the zone-in to Cavern of Anger. I then run Cavern of Anger and kill Merveil, fill up with loot (with preference to currency then uniques then potential-upgrade rares then other rares and small blues), take the zone-out to the forest, waypoint to town, ID all the rare/unique items, vendor that which I do not need, stash the resulting orbs/uniques/upgrades, take the TP in Cavern of Wrath, replace the TP, and repeat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item List for Normal/Cruel/Merciless Merveil: Credit to Meisen, for I took it wholesale from http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/461252

I got the exalted orb off of Merveil on run 9, and I do not suspect it will happen again in the course of this log.
Spoiler
Results of runs 11-20: Note: I have replaced my boots with the ones I found last time, and both of my IIQ gems have leveled, so my new IIR/IIQ values are 1 higher each for single-target and AoE.
Spoiler
Results of runs 21-30: Note: Going to have to finagle my sockets to accommodate the new axe, will log the new gear before the next set of results. I am considering changing out my gloves for the ones linked here, since I am looking for more IIR for uniques.
Spoiler
Notable Item Locations: This section will detail where exactly I obtained each unique item and notable currency drop.

This is where I had been farming, if I were you I'd just do both areas with cntrl left click. I get good orbs and rares all the time just on the way to merveil and its an extra couple mins so its not too bad and more times than not worth it.

" I do sometimes run the first zone, though I've found it to be far larger and it has a more troll-y layout (I almost always get lost and hit a bunch of dead ends, which is frustrating since I'm always running out of Quicksilver charges).

Ah, it's your boots. I play the game pretty much like you do... Meaning IIR/IIQ is what I want on my gear. Need movement speed on your boots. Boots I look for when upgrading have MS, IIQ/IIR. Had a sweet pair in onslaught that had 30 MS but got derped when my power surged so they went to standard and then got deleted in disgust.

" I am hoping to find a pair of Goldwyrm boots (for the quantity) and a pair of Aurseize (for the rarity). This only gives me 5% movement speed, but it might solve my mana problems, which would allow me to use a second quicksilver. Alternatively, boots with MS and stacked rarity would be amazing, so I'll keep hoping to get some while I farm. I've been debating whether I should open my party up as a "free Merveil kills" party, so I can get that juicy 50% quantity bonus, but I'm thinking it might be a bad idea since she can chunk about 20% of my HP with a melee hit/10% with a freeze pulse in stage 2.

What is the data that you are after?
Rare count vs IIQ and IIR? and then how will you factor the IIQ vs the IIR? 3D graph? Dernière édition par Fleshbits#3141, le 9 juil. 2013 à 01:57:59

" I'm mostly interested in the number of uniques/run with xx/yy IIR/IIQ. Once I compile a lot of runs on my own (Probably about ~250 runs initially) I'll most likely make a simple list, such as: With aaa/bbb IIR/IIQ: Total runs: xxx Total uniques: yy Uniques per run: yy/xxx Total chaos-equivalent value of orbs from vendoring items/random drops: zzz Total chaos-equivalent per run: zzz/xxx "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it's what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." - Mewtwo Dernière édition par RulerofAsgard#1289, le 9 juil. 2013 à 02:10:26

I used to farm chaos orb vendor recipes this way before they nerfed it :)

" Gotta get all the chance orbs now :/ Hopefully I'll chance a dream fragments or something with them. "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it's what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." - Mewtwo
