i heard that after you hit so much mf (300ish) the chance of items you get starts to go down or something i dont know if its true or not, but thats what i heard

The more mf the better. That means get more.

It's not that you start having lower chances of finding items with higher mf, it's just that you may have a higher chance (higher by percent and proportion) of finding a magic/rare item than a unique.

For instance (I don't know the exact numbers - I think someone posted about this somewhere - possibly not even this site lol )

With 300 mf you have
(These are the percents of the type of item that drops, magic/rare/unique)
300% on Magic
350% on rare
200% on unique

Now say you have 500 mf
550% on magic
400% on rare
275% on unique

So as you can see - the chances of getting an item always go up - but the gains are dimininishing - so (i think) theoretically at a certain mf % you would have better chances of finding uniques simply b/c there is a lower chance of finding magic/rare items.

I did this from my memory, so I am sorry if it is not very accurate, but I'm trying to help anyway :)

Not all the time though, my friend had 800 something mf and got uniques every run. I say if you have more mf the better chances of getting the better items, whick is kinda common sense.

[Meteor_Knight]

what he says is true. the more mf the better. but, as u get more mf, you experience diminishin returns. that means that say, at 100% mf you have 100%xtra chance to drop unique, then at 200% mf u have only 180% xtra chance to drop unique, and so on

Thats probably accurate Klag, I too have heard something similar to this, even back on NonXpac d2 a few years ago there were rumors of this

[Lux Aeterna]

Remember you'll find rares before you find uniques, I usually go 305-325 MF anyways, so try getting it up some, your MF is minimum "requirement"

yea i think that is how mf works
