Have yet to craft a pair with 20 ias


*Ding*



That is it for now. I'll probably run the following loop:

1. LK --> burn out --> Pits --> burn out --> Andy + Eldritch
2. Rinse and repeat

Hope ya'll are enjoying the walk. Thanks for checking it out! :wub:

Why alternate MF?


Just seeing if a different amount of MF would yield better drops. I did ~25 runs with 150 MF and ~25 runs with 225 MF. Nothing really dropped though. :(

As far as I understand it more MF equals better chance of magic rare unique and set items dropping within the range of legitimate items. It may roll back to zero at a high integer like lots of stats do in this game but the first roll point would probably be 524288MF or 1048576MF which no Shako is giving you!

MF is a funny thing in D2. It has diminishing returns which, to quote from another website:

Quote
A higher % of magic find from your character's equipment will always make more of the items that are dropped be at least magical. Higher magic find % will make more of the items that are dropped generate as unique, set, or rare, but the added benefit decreases with more points in the bonus.

It has diminishing returns but every added % still makes it marginally more effective. Removing MF makes it less effective based on that chart as I understand it. I have seen people on here talking about changing your MF slightly if you aren't getting ideal drops but its all RNG and more MF leads to greater likelihood of good drops if you are able to kill at the same speed.

And there is the crux of it. For almost all chars, with the exception of sorcs, they can't wear pure MF equipment to farm cuz kill time is awful and survivability diminishes. I try to find a balance between kill speed and MF. I usually aim to have between 200-250 MF if possible.

During those Edritch runs, I literally just swapped my 3 x PTopaz helm to Gface to speed up runs and test out a different amount of MF.

I'm using a 'Lawbringer' PB on switch. I proc Decrep with 'Lawbringer' then switch back to 'Oath' to finish 'em off. That's not Gris helm, it's a 3 x PTopaz Crown. :P
