-First of all, I was wondering exactly how iif works, or if anyone has this information? I noticed that while farming reagents I get many, many more dc sigils than dc blood. Blood is green and should be easier to get yet I get more sigils(5 to 1). I had read that this may be because my iif is too high so I don't get the lower level reagents.
-Also regarding iif: I was farming Leg Cyclops and I got a couple Transcndent pieces of fortitude; a chest and shoulders. I had heard that only resovle gear is worth upgrading, and I am paranoid that if I don't have resovle gear I won't be able to get good item and reagent drops without iif. Is it worth even upgrading and evolving fortitude pieces or should I just sell those and farm for resolve? They are drastically higher max gs than my current gear(300+ each).
-I have heard people say iif is a useless stat, what do they mean by this?
Thanks is advance for the help

Well I´m not going to argue about this with those that say its useless but yes iif does help you to get "better" (epic,legend) items easiser and less of "worse" items on the normal dungeons including legend hellboy. This is my own experience and I dont got time to do any documented tests on it. But someone had a post on this forum earlier where they tested runs with diffrent iif stats and it confirmed the pattern. Raises quality but not quantity. To your question about the reagents, yes I belive if you want more bloods you need to have low iif.
Edit: Found the post I was refering to
http://ggnbb.glu.com/showthread.php?97498-Data-on-iif-it-increases-quality-not-quantity
However it doesnt seem to help anything as far as my own experience goes in Towers or now removed Jade Forest even tho it´s stated otherwise from Glu.
Conclusion: IIF raises the chance to get an item. So if its 0.01% chance to get a certen legendary item drop, with 300% iif it will be 0.04%. So yes it is still the luck that determents if you get it. Someone with 100% can get the gold unbreakable item faster than you even if you have 400% but in the end iif makes if more likely to happen. I would say, dont wast resources to max evolve any fortitude items and instead wait for the resolve ones to drop untill you have reached closer to end-game. When you are trying to get Godly items in Tower it is the floor level that raises the chance of you getting that gold item so there, evolve what ever item that makes you get higher including fortitude ones.
This is correct. Reducing your iif will increase your blood drops compared to sigils.
As for solid proof, IIF and how it works has been confirmed by a moderator here:

On the contrary I´m getting 1-3 items or even zero after a 5-stg run way to often for it to be normal with my 430% iif. So I´m not to sure about it working as intended.
So all in all if you struggle with progression — get item with highest GS
If you are fine with your current speed of progression, go for "quality of life change" with IIF
I personally do think there is a slight difference with higher iif, I just don't know how much of a difference. I went from a lvl 26 gold Butcher sword I got from Hellboy to a 31 purple Raider sword which gave me an extra 32% iif at 15/15. Within 2 or 3 days of farming leg cyclops I got 2 gold swords, and 2 gold transcendent pieces. With the gold Butcher sword I hadn't got a single gold drop. I don't know if this is because I can farm him faster with the purple sword so more kills=more chances for good drops, or if the iif is actually helping.
Anyway, being that I am OCD I will probably keep farming for the resolve pieces, as I just don't like the idea of having gear without iif unless is Zerker jewelry.
It has already been stated by Glu that IIF doesnt work in the towers. This reply is wrong. As for noticing a difference in a day or two that is luck not IIF showing a difference and to know if IIF works u would need to see atleast a week of farming. I have high IIF and I have times where I get several legendaries in a row and have times where I farm for an hour and get a few purples. So, in conclusion IIF isn't consistent and sometimes the drops u get come down to luck.
Since blu stated that IIF defines quality of the items u get, not quantity.
I once did that. 0 IIF vs 370% IIF.
100 kills on LHB.
370= 10 unbreakables, 2 shards.
0= 8 unbrekables, and 3 shards
Me= -__-
You are completely wrong. Glu in fact stated that it DOES work in towers.

"IIF has an effect everywhere, it just isn't as pronounced in ET(endless tower) and JF(jade forest) due to the drop tables composition in the areas."
It's funny. Everyone says there's no data, but there is. It's right here...

There ya go, data. It coincides with the stated mechanics of iif by the people who actually make the game.
Do you still want to claim that it does nothing? Please include your own data that proves your opinion, not just "i didn't notice a difference" or "when i put on more iif my cat gets grumpy!" Those are unsubstantiated claims.
Every time you say "I got godly at 12 iif and only whites at 500 iif" without numerical data to back it, god kills a kitten.
