Diablo – Does Whimsyshire drop better loot than other areas

diablo-3

I like to put on Magic-Find gear and go farm for good items, however I've been feeling a bit disheartened lately because of the hours spent re-running acts with over 200% magic find, and only finding yellows that are not even worth putting on the AH.

I haven't tried Whimsyshire yet though, and have been thinking about farming the items to go there.

Does Whimsyshire provide better loot quality than re-running through the acts? Or better opportunies for loot, such as more champion groups in a smaller area?

From the developer AMAA on reddit:

d3db: With the drop rates released in the 1.0.3 preview, is Whimsyshire considered part of Act I or Act III/IV?

Andrew Chambers: We dont really consider the Whimsy-ical Shire to be part of the story proper, but the new drop rates will affect it. Specifically, the monsters in hell are considered act IV hell monsters, and the monsters in Inferno are Act III/IV Inferno monsters.
