Just zone level.

You have to ask which zone will drop more items and which zone is higher level.

Empowered version drops more items and is higher level.

Empowered is better.

Given a unique item that is about to drop, so it’s on the way to the ground and it needs to figure out how much LP it has, the only thing that affects that is the zone level.

It’s a really simple system and I think that’s what’s tripping people up.

The only reason you would give up zone level is to make a significantly larger number of rolls by significantly increasing drop chance or clear speed. With Lagon clear speed might make a difference. If you can do runs in half the time, that’s double drops. However, empowered is a higher zone level, so the ones that do drop will on average be higher LP.

I feel like that’s as in depth as I can possibly get with it.

Yup, you’re right, totally forgot about that, so I’ll update that post. It’s even less complicated, just clear speed vs level.
