MF is all luck

Do countless rounds of MF on Eldritch with 400 MF zon and get crap.

Do ONE round with no MF javazon and Eldritch coughs up 3-socket Head Hunters Glory, Spike Thorn, and Eschuta Temper orb.

Becoming more and more convinced MF has nothing to do with gear or charms but is just random. Maybe some little under fed and under paid weasel at Blizzard turns a switch on every now and then for MF.

My theroy is after a certain amount of times doing runs w/ one character, they're drop chances decrease dramaticlly.

Well, my theory and fact is that:

The Clvl+MFlvl+mlvl=ilvl=item.

Higher clvl+mf+monster lvl you kill= higher item you get which=what kind of items you get.

Thx

That doesn't make sense in the first place because if I have 400 mf and I kill a level 99 mosnter w/ a lvl 91 sorc, then I should be getting a lvl 599 item. Not that any of that matters because we're talking about the % chance to drop.
Thx

Magic Find greatly increases the chances of getting magic items. Unique items don't have that much in a possibility increase.

I think.. I think I read it somewhere. Don't take my word though, I don't mf. I know very little about it.

yea i read that somewhere too sov, i heard that mf only increases your chance to find magic items and not so much the uniques, but i see it as the more runs you do the higher chance you have of finding somehting good...but then again i do lots of runs and find anything so i should get a new theory huh?

Sorry to dig this back up but to help people clarify between the rumors and the facts of MF...

In that if you scroll through it it should answer all of your MF questions along with half a dozen other commonly asked questions....

More MF has diminishing returns but still returns...more runs does not mean worse items (outside of Quest runs of course). Is it luck dependent? Yes. But essentially what this is is you have a percentage to "win" and MF just increases that percentage...but as long as a monster is actually able to drop something in theory you have a chance then even if you dont have any magic find on the character at all.

And for the people who are new to all of this rune drops are not affected by MF from anything that i've read.
