I would like to hear your thoughts on what you think the best Mf% is and why.

It's not about having the most MF you can get on your character, you have to factor in killing speed. A person with 600 MF vs a person with 300 MF for example. The person with 300 will have a better outcome long term due to his/her killing speed. A quicker run vs a long time in 1 makes the difference. THE difference.

I'd recommend 375 - 400.

@ 400 you get to single digit increase on your % to find your goodies you are after.

I don't think i'll be able to get that high. I'm at 260% right now and really struggled to get that high.

My experience from 300+ travincal runs with goldfind barb this season, about 400% mf: You get a lot more magics, but the uniques you do get, tend to be of higher quality. I found Kira's guardian yesterday, and have found a few other high level uniques, Wolfhowl and such. If i hadn't had that amount of mf%, i think i would have just found lower quality uniques. Everything is pushed upwards. So the more the merrier, but you still have to be patient.

Depends if you want a lot of uniques or if you're farming for rares. You also need to not sacrifice killing speed as D_urRRR said and Taurean is wrong, mf doesn't change the type of item that drops

ahhh ok so when you have really high Mf, that means you have a much better chance to get really high rolls on gear you find?

No it is not. This is just Taureans personal opinion. It is not true however.

It is my experience. Let people make their own unbiased opinions without slandering my name. Stop using my name to promote yourselves by dragging my name in the shit. It is extremely classless.

People don't need experiences or opinions, they need facts.
More MF does not mean that the uniques you get will be of a higher quality and that is fact.
