MF Rant!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK,Ihave a lvl 93 Hammerdin on NL with about 453 mf(Gull,Goldwrap) earlier today.anyway,i decided to do some MFing and went after Baal and Andy,my Merc and I beat Baal numerous times,and all I got for my efforts was ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!!
I got a lot of Blues and Yellows and,when I did manage to score a unique,it was a low unique that wasnt worth a flyin feck,so,I gave up and went to bed.well,today I did the same doin Hell Andy over and over and pretty much the same thing happened.I mean cmon.453 is pretty damn good MF..why is it the only thing I`m geting is crap???????
 
Becoz no matter how much mf u have, u still need to get lucky to score the good items

I understand u though, when mf run after mf run fail to give any result at all,, its very frustrating
 
MF means Magic Find, meaning that % to find magical items (blues). Oh sure the chance to find uniques and stuff go up as well, but keep in mind, like skabb said, you need to be lucky and patient to find something decent, no matter how much MF you have.
Personally I think the amount of MF you have is way overkill. 250% is usually more than enough to show some nice results.
 
You never know, but some of the blues and yellows dropped are probably unique/set already, but failed due to no unique/set in that specific item...
 
Trust me, cut your MF down to 250-300. I had the same problem as you, and once I cut my mf down, I got 3 Hoz's, Soj, 3x Seraphs, and much more.
 
Just keep doing mf runs, you might have a bad streak, persevere and you will find "good" items.

Yesterday I found a 333% ed rare greater claw, with 7%mana leech, some ar, +minimum damage 9 or so and 8-42 cold dmg.(stats might be a bit off, sitting at work) I will for sure upgrade that and make a martial arts assassin.

I do mf runs that include, countess (runes/keys/ occasional unique/rare) Summoner (keys, chests at "wrong" ends of arcaine)
Travincal Council (gold, jewels, charms uniques)
Mephisto (Uniques, set items, rares)
Eldritch, Shenk and Pindle (Uniques, set items, rares)
Then from Pindle I continue onwards to Nilatak (Keys, Gold, sometimes a nice item) and finish of with Baal (Uniques, set items, rares)

I do not like area mfing that much, but when the worldstone levels are not filled with (for me) annoying monsters I clear it too.

Mostly if I do 5 runs, 1 run on average about 15 minutes or so (yes I know I am a slow old man) I have to mule, because my stash is filled with what to me are valuable items. I have around 300 mf. So I would say, don't only run 2 bosses, increase the number of monster you run per mfrun. I sometimes add cows as well, great for charms, jewels and socketables. (I also happened to find 2 x Hoz in cow level :P)

We used to do party mf runs back in 1.08/1.09, I always had like 4-5 trusted friends and we made private games, where each and every char that would play had a minimum of 300 mf, we would do cows and all bosses. In my opinion those are still the best mf runs I ever had.
 
i know its not mf related but its luck related reall but my personal story is i did 67 summoner runs in a row and got not 1 key on the 68th i got a key then after that i got like 5 keys in the next 20 runs sometimes u hit extremley bad runs but the game has a way of making it up to u i also found a Lo that week on a meph run so keep it up and it may get better

think of it this way how much worse could it get? and ur getting gold u can gamble with find urself a nice 25%mf +3 some pally skill ammy that would b nice

Click to expand...

thats just silly..

all i can think of for the reason would be increased killing speed and thus more runs done in smaller amount of time



 
I'd say speed is more important than MF, as everyone says the difference between 300 or 400 mf isn't too big.
If you could speed everything up maybe that's better?
 
Foolish the real answer to your rant is grow extremely good nerves. I have done mf runs this whole day, aint go **** and i did my hell hf too 4th lum (3 hell hfs 1 nm hf) in a row but meh **** happens im all happy even thou that happened.
 
Please correct me if im wrong.But ive seen where it says that if you have 100% mf (for arguments sake) it does not give you 100% chance of getting items,It says if a monster has a 2% chance of dropping a magic items,your 100% mf gives that monster a 4% chance of dropping said item.So seeing somepeople with 600% mf and they kill a monster with 1% chance this only gives then a 6% chance of getting said item.Also theres a tablehere somwhere talks about diminishing returns at certain mf levels
 
You kinda have it. One of the math freaks around here will break it down for you, but yeah, the first thing isn't right. It diminishes heavily, too. I don't know if it's exactly an exponential decay, or just predefined diminishing.

I did key runs for maybe the week and a half keys were around... None. Seriously, over 200 runs, no keys. Not a one. Didn't even see one.

It was absolutely rediculous. To this day, I've only found maybe 3 or 4 keys myself, traded for the rest. I just cannot get keys. Lucks a *****.
