Magic Finding %

[takesandgoes]

Whats a good magic find to be at, I use a skeliemancer and i have 484 magic find, whats a good one to be at to find stuff alot or am i good, i found dungos couple days ago, i thought that was nice!

[DiGiTaLiS]

well there's always a disagreement with this.. it usually goes the more the better or 200-300 magic find.. i think it's good to have as much as possible to the point where you can still kill

[takesandgoes]

ive heard the highest is 1000 magic find, how do ppl get this high....O.o

Whats a good mf for key running?-Solved!

[New-b]

i think they get 1000Mf+ buy putting 3 Isr runes in helm, 4 im armor, 4 in shield, 6 in cristal sward, wartraveler boots,chance guards and gold wrap and probally some 7mf sc.


For key finding you dont need mf to find keys

[wm_hunter]

I have to say, whenever a person gets a good drop they freak out and think that there is some magic system to magic find. It does not improve you much after 250, but the higher the points the better! Trust me.

[Brian Royer]

Don't mean to step on anyone's toes but after 100% you get diminishing returns; the "higher the better" way of thinking is incorrect. You need a comfortable balance of power and mf to be skilled in your art.

Use the Search feature, its on the top of the page between Faq and calender. Go to search and put 'magic find' in. You will see there are many threads on the topic and in the top 3 results there is even a guide.

3 Isr runes in helm, 4 im armor,

use ist/ptopaz shako and ist/ptopaz skulders. more mf and way better.

and mikea454 don't you hate when you write a guide for something and people don't even look before posting a question that's right in the guide. i hate that lol

484 is pretty good mf but the more the better. Use a 6 isted crystal sword to bump up your mf a bit.

[Fykins]

Don't sacrafice alot of damige for mf, I found tons of good stuff at only 300% and I usually never saw any difference after 500%.

Here's how to get the most (1167%) out of Magic Find for yourself. This does not count the maximum possible with Hirelings but you only receive that bonus when Hirelings make a kill. Add Magic Find to Hirelings to increase Magic Find even more. Some items are pretty rare making it difficult but not impossible (especially with time and trading) to obtain the most Magic Find. Alternative "poor man" items are suggested. [INDENT]Helm (100%)
