MFing

[GaMbLeZ]

i'd just like to know where you guys MF your godly gear. i've been MFing for a while now with 400%+ MF and i don't get very many good items

[BlackMage908]

Foog would normally tell you to just wash, rinse, repeat. Hell Meph is normally a good place for items, I do Hell Andy as well.

General Notes
"MFing" (a.k.a Magic Finding) is a strategy for finding better items on the Diablo Realms. The higher your MF is, the better your chances are of finding unique items. In general, you want as much MF as possible without sacrificing and speed or power.


Some very common MF items are:

5-7% Magic Find Small Charms
Gheeds Charm (20-40% MF, Grand Charm)
Blade of Ali Baba (Sword with 1% MF/level)
Gull Dagger (100% MF)
Nagel Ring (20-30% MF)
Chance Guards (Gloves with 30-40% MF)
Gold Wrap (Belt with 20-30% MF)
War Travelers (Boots with 30-50% MF)


Some of the popular 'Set MF bonuses' are as follows:

Tal-Rasha
Ammy
Armor
Belt
65% MF

Tancreds
Ammy
Boots
78% MF

Hell Baal:
Location: Throne of Destruction / End of Act 5
Items: Decent drop rate, can drop almost if not all items in the game.
Character: Hammerdins work best due to the monsters that must be fought before reaching Baal.
Notes: This run can be dangerous and usually requires a good character with a good mercenary in order to complete it on a regular basis. Common for high-level botting and leveling.

Hell Pindleskin:
Location: Act 5, Through the portal opened by Anya
Items: Low drop rate, but high return potential. He drops some of the higher level items in the game.
Character: Sorceress works best. His chamber is so narrow it’s hard to aim with other classes.
Notes: None

Hell Eldritch:
Location: Directly Northeast of the Frigid Highlands waypoint in Act 5
Items: Decent drop rate, able to drop items very similar to Hell Andariel
Character: Most classes will work on Eldritch, however there are immunities to keep in mind
Notes: Always immune to cold, companions have immunities as well.
I've never really found much off of him but others have. Immune to cold, I suggest a lightning / fire sorc. Located directly north of the waypoint to Frigid Highlands in act 5

Hell Shenk:
Location: Directly South of the Frigid Highlands waypoint in Act 5
Items: High level items similar to Mephisto, Decent drop rate
Character: Something with a lot of firepower. Check notes section
Notes: There are always many monsters surrounding Shenk, and Shenk is always immune to cold. Make sure you know what you’re up to.

Hell Mephisto:
Location: Durance of hate level 3. Act 3 Boss
Items: Can drop many high level items, but not all. High rate of return
Character: I think almost everyone uses a Sorceress for Mephisto. Fire or Cold work the best.
Notes: Watch out for the Council members to sneak up on you. Mephisto uses an array of attacks including high damaging poison. Watch out for Hydras. Utilize moat trick.

Hell Travincal
Location: Travincal. Act 3[/B]
Items: Some high level items. Nice high-rune drops, best place for gold
Character: Only practical to use a Hammerdin here.. too many immunes
Notes: Immunities vary all the time.

Hell Andariel:
Location: Catacombs level 4. Act 1 Boss
Items: Not a ton of high-end items, decent drop rate
Character: Most characters with teleport should work.
Notes: Minions are immune fire, some immune lightning.

Hell Countess:
Location: Forgotten Tower level 5. Black Marsh area
Items: Runes up to Lo. Low rate of return, best place to hunt runes
Character: Anything with teleport.
Notes: She’s always immune fire, sometimes lightning. Minions immune cold. Mercenary suggested

Hell Pit:
Location: Pit directly outside the Outer Cloister waypoint in Act 1
Items: All varieties. Tons of monsters which means good drop rates.
Character: Many builds are viable. Strafe-a-zon and Hammerdin becoming popular.
Notes: Monsters have varying immunities. Dual-elemental Sorceress or different class suggested.

Hell Cows:
Location: Cow Level in Act 1. Transmute Wirt’s Leg and Tome of TP in cube.
Items: All varieties. Tons of monsters which means good drop rates.
Character: All builds viable. Hammerdin, Blizzard Sorc, Summoning Necro, Trap Assassin, etc.
Notes: Killing the Cow King will disable you from creating the portal again.

Nightmare Shenk:
Location: Directly South of the Frigid Highlands waypoint in Act 5
Items: Items similar to Nightmare Mephisto. Decent drop rate
Character: Most sorc builds work for Nightmare Shenk
Notes: Not sure of any consistent immunities. Great for working your way up in ladder or hardcore

Nightmare Andariel:
Location: Catacombs level 4. Act 1 Boss
Items: Decent level items for Nightmare Difficulty. Highest rate of return for SoJ.
Character: Most builds work, Sorceress preferred for teleport
Notes: Good for working your way up in ladder or hardcore.

Nightmare Cows:
Location: Cow Level in Act 1. Transmute Wirt’s Leg and Tome of TP in cube.
Items: All varieties. Tons of monsters which means good drop rates
