Magic find %

[XiaoFeng]

I have a question regarding magic find %. Is there a maximum amount allowed? I have a dozen charms in my inventory each with 155% magic find (the max allowed for Hero Editor V0.96), totaling over 1200%, however I noticed no difference in the items I'm getting, it's as if I have 0% magic find. I heard some time ago that I have to actually set the magic find % to a negative number to dramatically increase the drop rate, is this true? If not are there any tips to dramatically increasing drop rate?
Thanks.

I don't know if there is a maximum percentage allowed by the D2 client. In Bnet however, the server would possibly recognize that having so much MF is plain bullshit (but we're not talking about Bnet here). Afaik, something around 400-450 is best.

Why do you even bot @ SP if you can use hero editor?

I'm not using a bot. I'm simply doing a normal playthrough but with significant high percentage of item find so I don't have to hunt a boss several hundred times to drop a rare item.

Use kental sins item pack.... all rares, all uniques, charms, sets etc.

I have edited the .ini settings multiple times and i still get a CI when he try's to go threw the wp. I have been realmed for a whole day and the bot seems like it don't wanna cooperate. ISO any kinda help!

yea iv noticed that to, its best to just get an item pack, or give yourself about 500mf then just make your character really quick so you can kill baal a few dozen times in like an hour and yall have a bunch of good items...

I'll try the kental one (if I can find it), most of the other item packs I've tried do not work with Hero Editor. It always gives an error that says the item is incompatible with this version or something and tells me to delete the item. It's not really fun just to have everything though, more fun if you actually pick it up from a monster x)
