Howls will echo through the Pit. Icy Shards will rain down in the Ancient Tunnels. Lightning bolts will fly and corpses will explode across the land.

Pindle’s horde shambles along in dread of the carnage. Baal’s minions cower in the face of the coming onslaught, and their master’s arrogance is pierced by a moment of doubt.

Sanctuary beware. It’s time for the Magic Find Olympics!

Alright SPFers, it’s time for the 2022 Summer MFO, a longstanding SPF tradition (as documented here)!

Most of the content that follows is shamelessly copied from previous MFOs. So thanks to the prior hosts, mostly nulio, Fabian, and jjscud, and Grape. In general, if you have any questions or comments, you can ask in this thread or you can PM me.

* * *​

I. Basics
Short version:
Run one of three targets—A85, Baal, and Pindle+— as much as possible during a ten-day window spanning two weekends and hope for many rare TC87 uniques.
Long version: See section II ;)

Start: Friday, August 26 (00:00 local time)
End: Sunday, September 4 (23:59 local time)

II. Overview
MFO stands for Magic Finding Olympics. For those new to the MFO, the gist of it is everyone picks one of three targets and runs that target like mad for 10 days. At the end, everyone scores their Sets/Uniques using the scoresheets below and adds up the top five finds. The players with the top scores win and they may claim an item from lower scoring participants who ran the same target as prizes [Edit: Claiming discontinued this year].

All participants must register the categories they wish to compete in before MFO kicks off. No deciding to participate when that Mang’s drops while doing casual MF runs after MFO starts. Sign-up post will follow below.

The Categories
- Hell Baal
- Pindle+: Pindleskin (or Shenk, Eldritch, Threshsocket or Sharptooth).
- Level 85 Areas

Eligible Finds
The following monsters are the only ones whose drops will be considered in each category:
- Hell Baal: Baal and his 5 minion packs only.
- Pindle+: The mentioned SuperUniques (and their minions, in the cases of Eldritch, Pindle and Sharptooth).
- Level 85 Areas: The Mausoleum, The Pit, Maggot Lair lvl 3, Ancient Tunnels, Kurast Sewers lvl 2, Forgotten Temple, Ruined Fane, Disused Reliquary, River of Flame, Chaos Sanctuary (not including seal boss packs and Diablo), Worldstone Keep, Throne of Destruction (not including minion waves), and new for 2022, the new Level 85 areas in D2R as noted here.

Drops from all other sources will not count. This includes Prowling Dead in Pindle’s Garden, Chests in the Pits/Ancient Tunnels, etc. So if you’re in the Baal category, that Tyrael’s that drops from a random boss pack in the Throne Room doesn’t count :eek:

Beyond that, there are very few limitations. No restrictions of class, builds, items, or approach, provided everyone abides by general SPF rules regarding forum accepted mods (FAM), etc. So any SPF FAM mod and any version 1.11 or later. If you’re not sure about FAM, please read the rules.

III. Scoring
The system is based on the relative rarity compared to the Immortal King Stonecrusher, the most common elite set or unique. Here are the score sheets for each category (from Community Links Sticky): A85, Baal, Pindle+. The full txt files in two formats (alphabetical and item ranking) are also embedded in the spoilers below.

The winning player for each category is determined by the five highest-ranked items they find during the MFO. In case of two players tying with the same score, the winner is decided by adding in the score of the next rarest item each of them found, then the next and so on until a clear winner is decided. Remember to keep eligible finds separate from the rest of your gear.

Nulio created an excel file that can help you with several things:
Code:
1. 'Tables' sheet has all the scores
2. 'Point Calculator' sheet allows you to list all your finds and calculates your score
a) You have to indicate the category
b) If you are playing more than one category, duplicate the sheet
c) To allow automatic timestamping you need to turn the iterative calculation (File > Options > Formulas > Enable iterative calculation). If you don't want it just delete the column
d) To allow auto completion of cells you need to turn it on (File > Options > Advanced > Enable AutoComplete For Cell Values).
3. 'Rankings' sheet can help supervisors... supervise

A word on teams. As a fun little side competition, players can join teams. It's a person from each category (that have enough people signed up to allow multiple teams), and the combined scores of teams are ranked for an overall winning team, in addition to the individual medalists in each category. No prizes or such, except the eternal bragging rights. Creative team names are highly encouraged!

IV. Sportsmanship: Updates and Final Scores
Do not post any qualifiers found during the MFO!
Here or in the Item Find Thread. Post as many high runes, cool charms, non-qualifying drops (that Tyrael’s from the random boss pack from the Throne Room for our Baal runners). But don’t spoil the surprise and competition by giving too much detail about your progress or likely score!

Updates and Final Scores. In the interest of sportsmanship, please send a private message to your category supervisor (the “Start a conversation” option) with updates of your progress and total score at the following three points in the process:
- The first three days (Friday and first weekend), until the end of Sunday, August 28
- The first seven days, until the end of Thursday, September 1
- Final score as soon as you can (but no later than 12 hours after you finish). Please just send it when you finish playing for the MFO!

These should be in the following format:
Title: SPF - MFO results
Category: A85
Asteron's Iron Ward 27.8
Ravenlore 14.6
Crown of Ages 10.7
Windforce 9.3
Windforce 9.3 (example of a duplicate find)
Total 71.7

If you quit or drop out, please send your area supervisor a PM saying so.

Seriously, Please Send Final Score as Soon as Possible. PM your score and ATMA/GoMule readouts of your top 5 to your area’s supervisor within 12 hours after the end of the MFO. There's always a few people who take a long time to do it, and it holds everything up. It takes literally less than 2 minutes to fire off your Final Update email, and it keeps all of us from waiting a day or longer for the results.

This time, please send the results in quickly, so the area supervisors can finish their lists and send them to me quickly, so I can put up the Results Thread quickly. When you finish running, please send the results right away. Everyone has been great about this the last two years, so let's keep it up this year too!

*** I can supervise all three areas, unless someone really wants to supervise the area I end up running. (I'll probably do Pindle+ with my untwinked 99er Sorc or the Pit with a twinked Nerco in search of the elusive -1 in my grail.) ***

[Edit: Due to the D2R/D2L split, with further aspect of no muling from D2R console, and limited participation by folks open to claiming, I am eliminating Claiming this year. But I kept the text below for reference if we reinstate for future MFOs.]
V. SPF Trading Profile for Item Claiming (It’s Easy to Create One!)
There is a tradition of winners getting the option of claiming items from others, as explained in the next section. To continue that tradition (even though winners haven't claimed items for a while), participants are strongly encouraged to have a trading profile, as it's necessary to participate in claiming.

It’s pretty straightforward to add a trading profile (here), as explained here (see Rule 4.7). A sample trader profile is here. (Note that I created it just to participate in MFO. It took about 5 minutes.)

Hopefully this summary makes it go even faster for others who feel it’s too complicated (which I can relate to for sure).

You should add your trade tag with hyperlink to your trade profile (see sign-up post below for examples). Per @maxicek you should list the version you actually will be running in for MFO, rather than all versions listed in your trade profile. The purpose is that if it comes to items changing hands, we know compatible versions are being used. So, as an example, "1.00-1.14d SC/HC FAM" doesn’t help there, and the sign-up should list "1.14d SC" if that's the version used for MFO character.

For this year's MFO, we are continuing the approach tested last year where people can sign up and opt out of claiming. If a participant goes this route, they don't need a trading profile and are excluded from claiming (cannot claim as a winner and cannot have items claimed by winners). Instead of listing the trade tag in sign up, members who opt out should list "No Claiming". If a winner wants to claim an item from someone who has opted out, several of us have committed to pool our resources and provide a replacement item (the roll might differ slightly).

VI. Prize Distribution
Note: With the D2L and D2R split, claiming will be even more complicated than in the past due to limitation on items not going backward in versions. I am checking with @maxicek on approach, but it might finally be time to drop claiming if it's too complicated.

Part of the tradition is that MFO medalists get to claim items from other lower ranked entrants within the same category. You don't have to claim anything, and no one has for at least the last 4 MFOs. But it’s part of the tradition, so I’ve maintained it. Claiming is limited to MFO qualifiers (including top 5 for the score). Please give if you signed up for claiming and are asked.

1st Place - picks 1 item from ANY other entrants in your category
2nd Place - picks 1 item from ANY other entrants ranked below you in your category
3rd place - picks 1 item from ANY other entrants ranked below you in your category

There’s a maximum of 2 items taken from each entrant per category.

Here are some previous “good sportsmanship” suggestions. These won't be enforced but any reasonable person shouldn't have any problem following these:

1. Don't claim items for their trade value, claim items you want to use or as a trophy
2. If you want a trophy, please be considerate (i.e., no grailers)
3. If you claim an item and the player really wants it, give them a chance to trade back their self found item for a similar or better one or other item as you see fit.
4. If someone is claiming one of your items, you may personalize it before giving it to them.

* * *

Please send any questions my way if you have them. Good luck and HAVE FUN!!! HYPE!!!!

Please note your version/mod status. Per @maxicek you should list the version you actually will be running in for MFO, rather than all versions listed in your trade profile, including if in D2R (and if so, whether PC or console). The purpose is that if it comes to items changing hands, we know compatible versions are being used. So, as an example, "1.00-1.14d SC/HC FAM" doesn’t help there, and the sign-up should list "1.14d SC" if that's the version used for MFO character. Here's an example:

PhineasB [1.14d SC FAM]

Note: your category isn't final until signups close and the MFO starts. I will update just before the start to reflect all runners and teams.

Count me in to run Level 85 areas!

I don't have a trading profile, and more importantly, since all of my characters are offline in D2:R, I don't think it's even possible for me to trade. So, put me down for No Claiming.

Hi All! @maxicek pointed out that there is further detail of D2R console not having GoMule option and thus not being able to transfer items. Thanks to @lizard for noting console D2R status, but could anyone else signing up on D2R for claiming please also note the platform along the lines lizard did? Before making a final call on whether to drop claiming altogether, I'm planning to wait to see what the sign ups look like. Thanks!

I have another question also relating to the differences on console: I play D2:R on console (Switch), so without ATMA/GoMule I cannot post the item readouts that PC players normally do. Will that be a problem? I can of course calculate my score, and I'd be happy to take screenshots of every item I find during the MFO if I need proof that I actually found those items.

Here is the added detail about D2:R version, etc. in my entry:

@little birdy it’s no problem if you can’t post readouts. I actually removed that a couple years ago as info that’s part of the final results in order to streamline (and because no one had claimed for a while).

Maybe a stupid question, but though I've been around a while never participated: are we limited to one character? E.g., if we start Pindle+ with an Amazon can we switch to a sorc halfway through?
 
There’s no limitation on switching characters, as long as it’s all on the same category. I ran three different characters two years ago in the Baal category, for example.

Currently playing vanilla D2R, so no claiming or readouts for me.

Edit: saw I should've listed "No Claiming" to the tag. I'm okay either way; so i'll install GoMule for readouts if claimed. :geek:

Signed up as a newbie of the SPF forum. Hope I get everything in right format.

Current plan is to pause the 99 program once hit lv98 and run Pitzerker. Hope I can get some big progress on the grail. :)

Been leveling a D2R ladder sorc since this thread was created, but I'm not feeling it that hard just yet. Leaning toward using my existing Enigma-less FOHdin in the Pits since it's a slow but powerful runner in 2.4. There's time for me to change my tune, though.

Regardless of the build, alvl85s for me. Dropping my name into the teams if anyone wants to tag up, though fair warning: I may run quite a bit, but I won't be the fastest gazelle in the tree. Other runners will probably fair better overall. :p
