is anyone else having issues getting rarity gear in perandus, seems that not alot of good MF gear is available?

I paid 4c for this:

So, passed the Merciless Labyrinth after a couple attempts, swapping off my Andies for life rings for Izaro fights. Those boost me up to just under 3k life. Hilariously, I neglected to swap out my IIR gem for IAoE, so the fight was pretty hair raising.

I wasn't really planning on keeping most of my current gear, so I figured it would just be a wasted enchantment that I'd replace later. Now, I'm not so sure!


I didn't even know there WAS a helm enchantment for that, and I read the list.

Why champion class not suggested? In terms of phc survivability it is king.

Because this is cloud damage... doesn't generate any "hits" to activate the Champion skills.

This is not an HC-focused guide, and there's no damage benefit.

Further, Trickster's defenses are underrated and very powerful.

Maybe its not good place to ask, but I hope you will answer me.

I was never strong enough to reach endgame maps, so I don't have experience there. But can someone tell me how much worse ,in terms of moneymaking, is normal, dps char on med-high level maps (so, more modes on maps=more iiq/iir) compared to magic finder that runs voll/low level maps?

You can see the increase in IIR?IIQ as you try different modes but (I believe) the +% to mob are best. ex: slower life % mana regen, -%max resistances and so on.

As we get our hand on the first jewel slot very early in the game and by that time most of our items are magic. I think using a cheap jewel as "Hidden Potential" is a very good choice. the %20+ per magic item is too yummy to ignore, what do you think?

A character with good IIR/IIQ will collect much more currency than one without IIR/IIQ even if the magic find character is running low-level maps whereas the high level character is running High Tier maps. High Tier maps aren't run with the express goal of generating currency; they're run for the challenge of it and to help level past 92ish or so.

But I don't think this is a good way of looking at it.

By following this guide you'll end up with a very good IIR/IIQ character capable of rapidly clearing Mid Tier and lower level end-game maps. To be most effective in terms of currency generation I'd say you want to run Tier 5 through Tier 9 or 10 most of the time (this is my experience - Serleth may have better insight into the most profitable map Tier range to run). Maps in this range aren't hard at all so you can speed clear them; at the same time, rares have an opportunity to drop with the most valuable affixes. Finally, if you alch Mid Tier maps you'll end up with higher IIQ/IIR than you would alching Low Tier maps because Mid Tier maps unlock combinations of affixes that aren't possible for Low Tier maps.

I hope the above answers your question - but feel free to ask for more detail if needed.

Thx for answer. So, I have another question. For now I think about buying +2 5L bow, ~50% iir rings/amu (without hp/res), iir hat, sadimas, perandus blazon, goldwyrms and tabula/greed's embrace 4L. So I will have very bad survi. Do you think this will be enough to run low level maps (70-)? Also, how important is occultist ascendancy? I mean, Merc lab will be very hard (ofc after getting some resists), so will probably try it on higher levels.

And last, rarity on jewels. It's worth? Or focus on dmg/survi?
