are you talking about phrozen keep, where the discovery originated?

and yea its like 4200 mf bonus when doing the full ritual in hell difficulty

below is the logic reconstruction in c/cpp based on disassembled 1.10 binary

https://github.com/ThePhrozenKeep/D2MOO/blob/f60514e73c1557bf7a4d569ba5cd53a18e3df159/source/D2Game/src/AI/AiThink.cpp#L2492

Mf 101 basics
Yes more mf means the magic/rare curves keep going disproportionately higher than the unique curve, but the game checks all drops in priority order from unique to normal.
So having higher mf always means higher unique chances, cuz they’re gonna override magic/rares, but then roll magic/rare if the chances for uniques failed

Edit :
Above aprox 500 mf you start getting less blue items cuz they get overridden by rare/set/unique
All you lose with more mf is white items

yes thank you
but what I meant was for that pic specifically

I dont know that I've ever seen someone fall for a troll so hard...

Normal, but the code looks like it stacks, so I should've had 140,000% MF. I went back and forth between two groups of 4 gloams 100 times. No other monsters in the entire area.

nvm

Question about this trick:

I’ve done it, and more things are blue, for sure, so I don’t doubt it works. Does anyone know if “attacker takes damage of x” keeps the souls angry, so they don’t start their dance? I have a hard time getting them to start, and I see the thorns animation sometimes when they hit my character. Do I need to remove all “attacker takes damage” gear?

Good question. So wish there was a bigger better source of info on this. I know some one has perfected it but they are greedy.
