Engineer’s Orb improves the quality of a Strongbox. More Strongbox quality means more Item Quantity. Increased Item Quantity from items does not increase the number of items dropped from a strongbox. However, map quantity and the quality of Strongbox do increase the number of items dropped from most strongboxes.
All strongboxes are normally capped at 20% quality and each Engineer’s Orb currency that affect quality will improve:
There are different types of strongboxes, only Diviner’s Strongbox, Cartographer’s Strongbox, and Arcanist’s Strongbox are worth a lot of investment. It is suggested to only using Engineer’s Orb to these strongboxes:
Base Type | Loot Contents |
---|---|
Arcanist’s Strongbox | Currency that do not affect quality |
Cartographer’s Strongbox | Maps, The Cartographer |
Diviner’s Strongbox | Divination cards |
