Does +# level on maps affect drop rates

Aside from experience what are the benefits of irradiating nodes? How does it

Don't think it affect drop rates much/at all.

The benefit is mostly that the items that drop are higher item level, and higher item level can potentially have higher tier rolls on them.

for example movement speed on boots:

+30% movement speed can only exist on item level 70+ boots
+35% can only exist on item level 82+ boots.
(uniques are a exception to this)

Rare monsters drop +1 item level above the map gear and bosses +2.

Highers tier map is 16 (15 corrupted to 16) that's item level 80
so with irradiated +1 and corrupted +1 the map becomes item level 82 and all the monsters drop item level 82 gear or higher, rares can drop 83, bosses 84.

Some items can also only drop at a specific level or higher.
I think level 20 uncut gems need item level 82 or something to drop?

Yes. The higher lvl monsters the better drops.

Thanks, I was just wondering since it seems like no one wants them. Seems like it would be useful to use on node that already has the benefits from other tablets.
