well i don't pack mf on my char so much, i had 500 and it doesn't find me anything real good, but hey i learned to keep my mf down low...enough...so i can kill faster and let the best be fruitful from there...i just found a couple war travs and a valor by doing so...laterz, i hope that helps u some
it is best to have a handful of 7 smfcs; doesn't matter how many, as long it is below the minimum of 300-400...range...it kills the idea to pump more mf...guys...the best advice is...don't take advice from those who think they are big; doesn't mean u can't do it yourself. well experiment and test out your mf, see where it takes u, and stick with it

i cut down 300-400 in mf items and look at me,

no more :eep: for me...
well, also another thing is...the death field for the boss...like mephisto, if u get him into the opening and no where near the pilars, u can get good drops, or near the portal or above that near the portal,...i found out that gazes and shakos, of that sort are found in that lot, oh yeah another thing, uhhh, the more ppl in the game it is harder to get good drops i found out by myself...u tend to have more deaths than having good drops, so watch out. i saw ppl swearing a lot after dying to baal and mephisto in hell :o not cool...lessons to be learned by those play with virtue or experience, experts...naw, they are like us, still learning

GL guys
i don't know about 450 sounds slow, but anyways ><
