Diminishing Returns?
-After a fixed point, your magic find increase is not linear.
-For example, that point may be at 100% mf, after which it begins scaling at 1.0 : 0.9, reducing in its effective value the higher and higher the stat goes.
-This is so rares, uniques and sets are not OVERfound.

So when you are alone in farming is the same use 100mf that 180mf?

no it means that the upgrade from 230% to 285% isnt as effective as for example an upgrade from 0% to 55% would be. But it's still an upgrade

Let me preface this by saying official information on the mechanics of Diablo III so far is scarce. Things written here may be proven to be inaccurate in the future, for that I apologize in advance. I will try keep this as up to date as possible, with all the latest changes implemented by blizzard, as well as any additions which arise through players finding new methods for farming.

That being said, I am confident in my understanding of the working of magic finding in Diablo III so far having spent well over 100 hours (of a total 160 played) researching - this involved paying for some of the latest farming methods, being highly active on many forums, as well as coming up with a few farming methods of my own. I intend to make my next guide on the various methods of farming (items/gold/specific items) so please keep an eye out for that.


Magic find in co-op games
Simple - Magic find is averaged across the players in a game.
Player 1 has 100% magic find
Player 2 has 50%
Player 3 has 0%
and Player 4 has 70%
The GAME total magic find is now 54%.
