People here was having the discussion that magic find affected rune drops or other drops besides items you are welcome Guys! How Magic Find Works "% Better Chance of Getting Magic Item" can provide a significant increase in the number of Unique, Rare, and Set Items you find. Players that wish to find "good" Rare Items, and more Set and Unique Items will want to invest heavily in this magical bonus. Just remember, you can never have enough % Better Chance. Increasing your Magic Find Percentage will always help you. "% Better Chance of Getting Magic Item" does not increase the Chances of getting an Exceptional Item but if you do roll an Exceptional Item the chance of that being Magical/Rare will increase. How do Chance to Find Magic Items really work? If you find an item that gives 20% Better Chance of Getting a Magic Item, and a Monster has a 2% chance to drop a Magic Item, you will now have 2.4% Chance of getting that Magic Item. I have a 100% better chance of getting magic items but I don’t get them all the time why? This is based upon the monsters chance to drop an item. With a 100% better chance of getting a magic item, a monster with a 1% chance of dropping a magical item would have that random chance go up to 2%. What exactly are "Magic Items" Magic Items in this definition include Magic Items, Set Items, Unique Items and Rare Items. Is there a cap on Magic Find? No. Is there an ideal % Magic Find Number? No. The more the better. Previously a bug resulted a penalty for more than a certain percentage in older game versions on vanilla realm only, but this has been fixed a long time ago. I heard if you get Magic Find high enough you get all Sets and Uniques No. This was the case in previous versions due to a bug but that has been corrected (sorry!). Will Magic Find work on Barrels, Chests, or other non Monsters that drop items? Yes. Does Magic Find work on bosses? Yes. Will Magic Find work on Runes? No. It has no bearing on the number of Runes you'll find (you don't find more magic items and less Runes for example, nor is there a greater chance of getting a Rune or a better Rune, etc.). Will Magic Find work to increase finding Magic Items with the Barbarian's Find Item Skill? Yes. Will Magic Find help getting better Items from Gambling? No. How Gold Find Works The % gold find on a character (+ that on the merc, if the merc makes the kill) multiplies the gold that the monster/chest/barrel/etc would otherwise have dropped. 100% gold find means that gold drops are doubled: a 100 gold drop would turn into 200 gold. 500% gold would make that 100 into 600 gold. (Not 500, which is where most players go wrong on their calculations. Remember that the base amount is modified. So 900% gold find = 10x the usual gold.)
Really nice article. I think you missed one very important question on which there are various opinions. Is gold find spoil your magic find? For me there is no connection between mf and gf so I think they are independent but most of us believe that gf spoil your mf and vice versa. I would like to hear you answer about that.
@Vali0 MF And GF has nothing to do with each other from what i know they should be independent i think its a big rumor that goldfind ruins your MF. because i cant find anything about it that has a negative effect the one way or the other!
Gold find will not affect Magic find beacause gold has its own treasure class, so the number of gold drops and items drops does not affect each other, same thing as with runes and Magic find.
Thanks for clearing that up, I was worried because I keep getting just Gold drops from champions/uniques/super bosses etc and it's pissing me off lmao I have a 40% MF gheeds but was seriously thinking of getting rid of it because of the Gold Find. Been having a dry spell all week with crappy drops, even boosted a character to hell and opened a loader just to have her stand in town while i mf and get her boss kills without completing her quest and still just getting the absolute most garbage normal drops ever. MF is about 345%, could go higher but was getting even less drops...I want to try to cap at 200% but it's kinda hard (Shako, Travs, charms, currently only have Skulders for chest piece because I can't find a Jah or Ber for the life of me haha )
I have lived with the same impression since I learned the game and it was 15 years ago ... until now ... and even now I do not know what to believe
