"What do I do with Imperium's Intensification Item?" is a question I have heard a lot over the months. This guide is intended to help you with that question.
What is an Intensification Item?
Every Imperium's Intensification item, or "iii" for short, is an aug.
How do I get iii's?
There are 3 organic ways to earn iii's. Find them on Treasure Goblins, purchase them from Greedy Goblin in the Guild Lobby for AA, and earn them as rewards for completing assaults and skirmishes. You can also trade other players for them.
Treasure Goblins
Anytime you kill a mob that is even con or higher there is a chance that a Treasure Goblin will spawn. Every Goblin drops a bag of plat and 1 iii.
Greedy Goblin
100 iii = 5,000 AA
50 iii = 2500 AA
10 iii = 500 AA
1 iii = 50 AA
Assaults and Skirmishes
Every assault you complete from Ash and Bad Ash rewards you with (5) iii. For every skirmish you complete from Ash rewards you with (1) iii per named killed.
What do I do with the iii's?
The individual augs can be combined in a jeweler's kit to increase their potency. The easiest way to find the combines in the jeweler's kit is to search for the rank you are trying to make. Search "2" in the jeweler's kit to find the combine for rank 2, Search "150" to find the combine for rank 150, etc.
Wait, you really mean I have to click THAT much to combine all of those?
There is also a recipe for "quick combine" that will allow you to batch combine (100) rank 1's into (1) rank 6, (1) rank 5, (1) rank 2. (Always and forever grateful to Sturm for adding this.) I also recommend adding the following ranks to your favorite combines as it will save you TONS of searching and clicking. Rank 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
What benefit is there to ranking up this aug?
As you rank up the iii you will receive an incremental increase to your stats.
Rank 0
+10 HP, Mana, END
Rank 200
+200 AC
+2010 HP, Mana, END
+20 heroic STR, STA, INT, WIS, AGI, CHA, MR, FR, CR, DR, PR
+200 Heal amount, spell damage
At rank 100 you gain the focus effect Imperium's Intense Enchancement, 50% buff duration (10% more than the HF aug)
At rank 200 you gain the clicked effect Ultima, which is a single target direct damage spell that scales with spell damage and can crit. With 25,100 spell damage, ultimate hits between 40k and 140k. 5 minute cool down.
Exactly how many iii do I need to rank up the iii?
In short, you will need 36,124 iii to create the maximum rank of 200. See the Appendix A at the end of this guide for a detailed explanation.

Appendix A
Total AA cost if all iii are purchased from Greedy Goblin
180,620,000
Total plat cost if all iii are purchased from Greedy Goblin
45,155,000,000
Explanation of cost progression
Rank 1 through 10 doubles each rank. It takes (2) rank 0 iii to make (1) rank 1 iii. It takes (2) rank 1 iii to make (1) rank 2 iii. It takes (2) rank 2 iii to make (1) rank 3 iii. This formula is the most daunting and remains constant until you make rank 11, which requires (2) rank 10s. Note: You could save up (1,000) rank 1s and do a quick combine to get to get rank 10 faster.
Once you are rank 11, you need (100) uncombined rank 1 iii plus your previous rank aug to make the next rank. Example: to make rank 12, you need your rank 11 iii and (100) uncombined rank 1 iii. This formula is true for all ranks up to 200, EXCEPT for every multiple of 10.
Starting at rank 20, every rank that is a multiple of 10 (rank 20, rank 30, rank 40, etc) requires your "main aug" and a rank 10 to progress. Example: In order to make rank 21, you need your rank 20 aug and a fully combined rank 10.
iii needed by rank
iii Rank / Req iii

Correction: The "Quick Combine" results in 1(Lv2) + 1(Lv5) + 1(Lv6)

Because I couldn't resist, I wrote a quick program to show the costs as well, and it appears the above numbers are off.... example...
Taking into account that it started at 1, so my numbers are one off, but here is the issue:
19 / 1,824
20 / 1,924
This is a multiple of 10, starting at level 20, it should be the cost of 19, plus the cost of a 10.
A 10 should be 1024, not 1000.
I will post my list shortly, when it looks nice.

In case anyone is interested, here is the code. It's C-Sharp, but with maybe the exception of dictionary (which array would work here also), it should be easily portable to any language..
Dictionary<int, int> levelCost = new Dictionary<int, int>();
levelCost.Add(1, 2);
for (int i = 2; i < 201; i++)
{
if (i <= 11)
{
levelCost.Add(i, levelCost[i - 1] * 2);
}
else if ((i-1) % 10 == 0)
{
levelCost.Add(i, levelCost[i - 1] + levelCost[10]);
}
else
{
levelCost.Add(i, levelCost[i - 1] + 100);
}
}
after that, I just iterate thru the dictionary and dump the values.

}
after that, I just iterate thru the dictionary and dump the values. Every 11th level jumps 1024. you have every 10th level jumping 1024- cool reading scripts tho =) 11 costs 2048 12 =>2148... 20 =>2948 21 =>3972... etc |

according to the above:
So, every one after 11 is 100 level 0s plus the previous level.
unless the level is a multiple of 10, in which case we add 1024 (the cost of a level 10).
in case the code is unclear:
else if (i % 10 == 0)
says that if I divide by 10 and there is no remainder (modulo operator).
since they are if/else statements, for the first 10, straight binary progression, after that, if multiple of 10, add 1024, else add 100.

rank 11, which requires (2) rank 10s. -2048
In order to make rank 21, you need your rank 20 aug and a fully combined rank 10.
"every level that ends in 1 required the previous level + a lvl 10" x + 1024
your script adds 1024 to the cost of the 10th level to get the cost of the 10th level, instead of adding 1024 to get the cost of the next level
try
else if ([i-1] % 10 == 0)
maybe?

so it's the step from 20 to 21? or the step from 19 to 20?
I assumed it meant to GET to 20, you need the previous level and a level 10.
edit:
Reread original text, appears you are correct sir
which means the cost of the last one will be lower. I will modify and put the correct data up soon.

Maybe I should remove the calculation part of the post since it is wrong. I just never bothered to fix it after Grease pointed out the error.

Because my own memory sux sometimes:

in this order
10-"Quick" quick combines
12-lvl 1
6-lvl 2
8-lvl 3
