Powerfull Item Farm.

Currently farming them in a CW build on BLU.

The question is hoe much light should I get. Do I need to max pearl?

And how about amber? I've read it should be around 200 to increase the chance of Powerfull Items. Is this correct?

I know there is a joke somewhere in this....

Ask your questions here.

Well there are many factors to keep in mind to make this just a simple anwser.

Each aby zone has a diffrent light effect inside it with the largest bonus being in the last 3 zones.

The other factor is how much of the quest line do you have done if you are missing abyssite it effects your light count.

amber with max adjustments to lights will start seeing kis around 80-100 amber and as it caps increases with ebon tiers.

yes you want capped pearl. pearl increases the frequency of chest appearing.

Powerfull items is not a very good question due to what do you classify is a powerfull item. af3 feet/money drops/kis/nm pops items. because each one is diffrent.

If you’re talking about augmented items e.g. dark rings I would cap Perl for increased chest drop, cap azure for time extensions as you may have a long wait ahead of you for the right item. If you are CW burning you could take it to 100 ish then it will build slowly as you CW as long as the mob you are killing gives that light. Then take amber to 140+ I normally cap this as well and collect KI.
Normally HQ chests (large gold chests) start dropping more frequently around 100-120 ish depending on area and abyssites you have.

Max out azure, pearl and amber. More amber you have, better augment potency you may get.

~120 Azure is enough to get TE but not over power your Amber lights.

He will have trouble keeping it at 120 CW burning.

Fair enough, but some zones have mobs that do not give azure which might be handy.

Speaking from my experience in farming Dark Rings in Konschtat:
More amber than azure but not capped. Capped or near capped pearl and NO ruby or ebon. 140ish azure, 160ish amber seems to work for me. Anything more than that you're going to see way too many key items or temp items.

Actually is was a typo :)

Hoe is Dutch for How. Was a honest language typo^^

@rest: thx for the info!

Does anyone know how much amber is capped at tier 3? I'm trying for power items only, and wiki shows it's tier 3, but I don't want to get to tier 4. I tried the other day and capped amber and kept getting too many KI and temp boxes. I'm assuming based on math that T3 would cap at 149?

Cap your amber

Is this true? If so, is there a cap for augment potency before reaching amber light caps? Since capping amber would produce a lot of chests with KIs and temp items. Worth mentioning I'm after Dark Rings and got all abyssites to increase lights and what not.

Yes that's true. I only got better augments on dark rings with capped amber. Bad augments can still happen with capped amber though. Good luck.
