Adding more modifiers to a waystone increases the challenge of the map and the rarity of items dropped. Going through a higher tier waystone does the same. But from my experience a higher tier waystone with no mods is easier than a lower tier one with 6 mods. How does the rarity compare, then? Am I better off running the highest tier maps I can survive with no mods, or a lower tier with 6?
Last season there wer a t7 juiced strat for Farming, but you want to get to t16 max Juice as fast as possible and this late in the League its is really cheap to get to that Point.
The map tier determines the Item Level of items dropped.
Item Level of an item is by default equal to the area level in which it drops but can be up to two levels higher if dropped by a Unique monster.
Item Level of items determines how high tier mods they can roll.
So by doing lower level content, you rule out anything ever rolling high tier mods.
If you hold [Alt] or the controller equivalent inspect button while hovering over an item, it'll tell you at the top what its Item Level is.

Here's an example for Amulets.
If you click on +# to maximum Mana you will see that an item needs at least Item Level 82 to roll a Tier 1 (Best) mana modifier and at least Item Level 75 to roll a Tier 2 (second best).
So - higher level areas seem to drop better items because the items can roll better mods.
Just a man and his crossbow. Mercenary is duelist persona tuned up to 11 and I love it.
If only there were any clues. Could be anyone!
