This was my take on it as well.. I feel like I get a decent amount of 45+ items in just about all the climbs I do so 3% more probably wont amount to much.

20% item stat boost on the other hand is very noticable:

32 dex lvl 25 robe is a meh drop but 20% higher its 38dex which Id be happy to find.

Fails/glyphs can become nice finds easily with item stat quality.

TC hunting Event with skilling.



Nice to know, so the previous event with 2% and addition of 17.92% Item Stat quality was great for farming in comparison to this one @ 3% and treasure chest hunting?

Wish all goodluck during Events.

Better drop quality is still a fairly new mod so I'm not really sure what it does exactly. The one thing that I have noticed is that there are way more high level whites dropping compared to usual and I get the feeling that eps drops are overall of a much higher tier and you generally don't see that many tier 1-6 items dropping from lvl 55+ eps.

I don't think that what you said about item stat quality is even close to correct, it doesn't increase whichever stats an item rolled by 20% or 17.92% as last even was, it does a whole lot more than that in my opinion. On my average climb with no item stat quality, I'd say that I'm lucky to see 1-3 tier 8 rolls on items. When there is a decent amount of item stat quality active, that number goes up to 10-20+.

Ees and ml are also significantly more common when there is item stat quality.



The previous event was amazing for finding very high rolls on items at the very least. The one before that with 100% eps and 7%(?) stat quality was in theory way better for farming lots of average items.

Then again, it's very hard to say since the drop rate is overall pretty low in this game and much comes down to chance. It's all about being there at the right moment when the game decides that you are worthy of a good drop.

I found my 2nd highest EE item ever during the current event, I still don't think that better drop quality is all that significant, but more testing is certainly required.

I did notice with the last event that there was an increase of finding +6 to +8 mods on items compared to previous events, but that could also be due to the added Monster Base Difficulty increase as well, pity the event ended just as I was setting up my character to reach 35 and complete this Map (3 left):

Legendary rigid forest map
Level Req: 20
Use Item to Receive Effect

+1 Warm Lights
+14 Evil Presences
+2 Rooms
+166% Warm Light Effectiveness
Quantity: 3
+16 Level Cap
+24% Stealth

So now I think I will use the Treasure Chest ones, but hopefully better than the ones I have:

Angelic rigid desert map
Level Req: 20
Use Item to Receive Effect

+7 Treasure Chests
Quantity: 2
+18% Swarm
+18% Stealth

Rare rigid plains map
Level Req: 20
Use Item to Receive Effect

+20 Treasure Chests
Quantity: 2

It’s because of item stat quality, that is exactly what it does. I don’t even know how many perfect stat lvl 10-15 items I found, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in the hundreds.

You want to start that lvl 20 map(with lvl cap) way later than 35. It only takes around 15 levels to complete a lvl 20 map and the cap for it is lvl 63 (at 64 you stop gaining exp completely) start it at 45 or even 50

stat quality only increase the actual stats, not the amount of magical types, that is what better drop quality does

would say lvl 50 is the time to do it thats a beautiful map

I had a freudian slip and misread his post and thought that he was talking about tier 6-8 rolls. It does not increase the amount of magical properties on an item

Getting exp from Transmuting is ok, can be fun with 25+x like this current event.
But why capped at 71 ? It's useless

Same thing for jubilance or other stats or events.
Think its since the change when you MQ above 71, the stats such as jubilance or events where you can earn experience doesn't work above 71.
