How mf really works?

[Cavorite]

I don't know what you guys are talking about??? My Drud has a Magic Find of about 350% and I usually get at least two or three set items during every quest I accomplish.

Here's to set pieces... Cavorite

hmm 1 of my guys has 800+ mf so i reckon ur right as with hell meph i get norm uniq items (at the most) unless im real lucky

[trayne]

lol i'm using 85% and getting uber unique stuff

[Gaz_321]

dam findin items seems so simple

[Waramp]

The 252 isn't working great. It's not bad, but not great. I've found one of the new 1.10 uniques so far, but I've been trying for a while to find another one.

[trayne]

thats why i use a chart i built on what mf% that i should use each game based on some things.

[A|fzZz]

Mind showing us the chart?

[trayne]

i usually dont share my chart with people.

[kupoback]

is there a magic find hack?

[Mephisto]

no there is not. Any site that offers one is trying to scam you.

hey, since your on the discussion of mf, my lvl 23 sorc, (brand new) uses gull dagger, and 38% chance guards for mf, my friend was killing mephisto for me, and he let me have the finishing blow, just for shits and giggles, but when i killed mephisto, he dropped an eth hell slayer, and a doom bringer, 7000 gold, and a magical balrog skin... my friend shit his pants... so what i think... is maybe if u have more than 50 mf, and less than around 300, it may work better? maybe its coincidence, but iunno...

its more luck then a special number

but thats a pretty nice combination you found: 1 eth ue 1 eth u-ex

one of my best combos is perf shaftstop + ss

i think mfing is base on wat lvl u r & how mch mf, & i think u dont need 2 use 2 high mf%, coz i got a mf hammerdin, in a certain lvl i got like 4 ss with almost the same mf% & i ddnt use 2 mch mf%. & i notice drops changes when i lvl up....

Sorry to say but, you didn't get the killing blow. If you were CLVL23 you can't drop an ILVL84 item. It goes against the foundations of MF rules. It's a correlation between MLVL (Monster Level) ILVL (Item Level) and CLVL (Character Level). You can only drop the equivilent of your CLVL, and monsters can only drop the eqivilent of their MLVL. Otherwise Carvers would drop Elite items left right and center, which I'm sure you agree doesn't happen. Mephi can't drop those items in Normal or Nightmare, as his MLVL isn't high enough.
