Drops in IA still not curated

Ordinator199 · August 25

When you get to 4xx/504 it starts giving random duplicates of what you already have from both marauders and the boss chest, why?

Odd number arcs drop armor. Even number arcs drop weapons and jewelry. If you've collected all armor pieces across all class sets, you'll start getting duplicates. Same is true on even arcs if you've collected all weapons and jewelry. Curation in IA doesn't switch over from armor to jewelry (or vice versa) within their respective arcs.

best way to farm gear in there is stop after arc 3

if you kill both marauders (arc 2 and 3), then you would get 3 armor and 2 weapons/jewelry

Has nothing to do with it being jewelery or weapons or armor, I still have uncollected jewelery, armor and weapons across different sets, instead of getting them i am getting jewelery/weapons/armor i already have collected.

Not really, i stomp through arc 4-7 (with 2-3 focused efforts) far faster than arc1 with ia build, and around arc 4-5 you start sometimes getting double drops..

I got all the weapons and jewelry before getting all the armor. At that point, the odd arcs were curated and the even arcs were random pieces I already had.

weird maybe some glitch then, i still have 9 weapons, 3x jewelery pieces and 26x armor pieces i am missing, and its not giving me those weps/jewelery

I have different problem. i have a Warden that I usually take for IA, and I've never had any other set dropped but Gardener of Seasons.
Which I didnt complain about when I farmed for this set, but I really want the eagle one now.

Meanwhile my Templar dropped both Templar sets interchangeably

well as long as you are getting ones you don't have eventually the eagle mark one will start dropping

Unless the problem described by OP happens.

arc 3 is early enough that you dont have to rely on visions to get further, and with a pure dps build can usually clear arc 3 in around an hour

double drops are not guaranteed on later arcs but they can happen yes (ive been up into arc 10 before, its great for fortunes, but i would say for overall speed/gear farming its poor use of time)

I haven't ventured into Arc 5 in ages, so can't confirm for myself. But perhaps when a double drop occurs, only the initial drop is curated but the bonus drop is not. :shrug:

both drops should be curated

i think arc 4-5 has a chance for double drops, but the double drops dont start becoming almost guaranteed until 6-7

I think it might have to do with me giving away those pieces to other people when they dropped prior, like somehow game could of registered that it gave me that weapon/jewelery curated and now it thinks I already have em

@Ordinator199 one way you could possibly check what the game thinks you have is to visit a Transmute Table and check the Infinite Archive section under the reconstruction tab.

Theoretically if the game thinks you have collected the items they will show up as collected there, plus you could then reconstruct them.

Werewolf warden IA build starts shredding everything arc 4-8 if you get medium quality scripts along with 2 fe (175-200k dps along with infinite sustain+40k health), throw a werewolf transfo along fire atro on top that clean everything out in mere seconds, it goes by really really fast until arc 8-9, so for those arcs you can walk out with 4x ia gear pieces per arc (if lucky and get double drops), compared to doing arc1 which = 1, arc 2 = 2, arc 3 = 2 (5 gear pieces in 3 arcs)
