well i think the no MF theory is total lies hehe i recently did a test on meph with my lvl 82 sorc and found that it does matter, it matters a whole lot ill post the data:

ok i did 20 runs with no MF 20 runs with 126MF and 20 runs with all my mf (348%),

well in 20 runs with no mf i got
2 uniques
26 rares
1 set

with 126% it was lots better
9 uniques
40 rares
11 sets

with 348% it wasnt Too much better than 126 but..
16 uniques
40 rares
10 sets

hmm well when i look at that data i see that MF does count on meph and im guessing pindle is the same way but i could be wrong i dont really wanna do a pindle test hehe, but i just thought you'd wanna see this..
