Heard the Black Soul ritual secretly gives 4200 MF, so I ran some very scientific testing. Compared negative MF, normal MF, and 4200 MF setups on isolated unique bosses. Posting the data before the tinfoil hat council arrives.

have you tested the ritual stacking up to 42000 mf?

Yes. Tested ritual vs 4200 raw mf and many more setups. I share every detail in the video. Time stamps in the description

Yes I also tested ritual mf with +300(4500mf in theory) and ritual +900 (5100mf in theory). Results in the video.

That might explain why I havent seen you in there for a couple days :rofl:

Thank you for this deep research.
I watched the first 10 mins then fast forwarded to results so excuse me if I say something you already covered or pushed away from the discussion.
What it looks like is ritual is indeed working, but MF diminishing returns so strong we barely see a difference with 300 MF when Ritual + 0.

Seems to still make sense with Sunders situation x Full game clears but apart from that I will pass on doing the ritual.
Funny to see that with 900+Ritual your Uniques + Sets "skyrocket" compared to the previous setups, comparatevily to the MF difference between 300 MF vs Ritual, altho we can take sample size into account even if not so small still not too big.
Could it be because Ritual acts more like a multiplier to MF and the more MF you have the more potent its effect is ? Just something I am throwing here.

That I did not test. Not a bad idea though.

Yeah I worked pretty hard on this one and yes that’s basically what the data suggested.

Ritual seems to be working, but MF diminishing returns are so strong that Ritual and something like Ritual + 300 MF end up looking very similar.

The interesting part was Ritual +900. That setup produced noticeably more uniques and sets. It could be variance, but it might also suggest that Ritual does scale when you stack enough additional MF.
