I was sorely tempted to reroll this map.  This combination almost seems like a bad joke.  It was, without a doubt, very challenging.  While I only died once, there were several near deaths escaped by quick potion work, hasty retreats and more than a little luck.  I will have to say that long duration, piercing sparks are a good skill for the Fracturing mod.  When a monster dies, there is guaranteed to be a spark in the vicinity that has a chance to hit the fractured monsters again.  The one time I died, I was trying to keep a crew of summoned zombies, but I think I was better off spawning three zombies in between fights.  Once a fight started, I either trusted the sparks I was throwing about, or I was falling back to a safe distance.  I also probably could have used Vaal Spark a bit more because of the extra sould gathered from the fracturing monsters.  Between the Chaos, Regal, and Scouring, this was a good run currency wise, but I hate blanking on maps.  Especially when you have 42% IIQ.

Except for taking a few bursts of damage when I wasn't being careful, this was an easy run.  The confined caverns are ideal for using Spark for offence.  This is another map I was tempted to re-roll because of the somewhat low quantity bonus.  However, I got good currency and three maps out of the run.  Of all the maps I ran this day, this was the most pleasant surprise when it came to loot.

This was another fairly easy run.  It was also the most disappointing loot wise of the night.  This combination of map mods produces a good increase of item quantity, and with the near perfect quality of the map, I really expected a profitable run.  Combined with the two good runs earlier, it made for a good night of mapping.  However, individually it was a disapointment.  If I remember right, I got a few 19% quality maps to drop from a lockbox, so I rolled mods for some of them.  As such, I have no idea how much I spent modifying this map.
