SOS

Bringing all the pieces together provides us with:
Magic find increases the class ("item-color") of the gear found.
Magic find does not increase the number of items found.
Magic find does not increase the iLvl of the gear found.
The guaranteed rare drop from Nephalem Valor is an additional drop and it is possible to roll a legendary for the drop.
The guaranteed rare drop from Nephalem Valor is applied to goblins as well.
Nephalem Valor is superior to magic find; it devalues the effect when compared to farming without the buff, but magic find is still an effective affix.
Whether or not magic find affects affix rolls is not investigated here, but there is no reason as of to suspect that magic find would increase the stat rolls. We're currently investigating if magic find has an affect on the number of affixes rolled on average per item.
Last and most important: Future data collection may help to provide data for computational research on magic find that can be used for farming efficiency.

also look at 2.3 which is very interesting, 150% MF seems to give very high ilvl 62 items (farming ring/ammy ftw?), and slightly lower for ilvl60

I thought this was already proven a while ago.

the source u mention in the thread was posted by blizzard, and people in diablofans.com are investigating it, whether how it works, magic find may improve the number of affixes, but how about the level of affixes? many claims that with MF, they found more items with crap stats

does magic find helps you to create better equipment from blacksmith?

i dont think so

no, because crafting already give you better chance by default.

example like i looking for my dream monk fist. all at AH freaking damn expensive.

i bought a fist plan with 5 prop from AH, just keep crafting until you get your dream weapon
it's faster to get than farming because you are aiming on one thing. Its keep rolling the dice for the Fist.


i still havent get my dream fist yet.

This part (in bold) I got no comment. I only commented on the "number of affixes" part. I've also seen some statistics that proved this i.e. something like xyz% MF gave extra aa% chance of 6-affix rare, but I forgot the sos and actual numbers liao.

I run 200+ MF on full act 1 usually get 2-3 ilv63s.. run 50 MF usually get 5-6.. although they're still crap..

don't think it's a necessity.. if u're lucky then u get good drops..

Advise: don't craft fist. craft dagger instead. If it rolls some +INT stats still can sell off.

all weapons not profitable imo.. i have 6 props dagger and 2h axe plans.. crafted like 30 each.. max dps on dagger was only 500+.. it's ilv62 after all..

no ilvl 63, ilvl62 and 61 also can wa.
Most of my gears are ilvl 61-62 and bear in mind that these items are obtained majority from AH. ilvl 61-62 still have their market.
ilvl 62 + 6 affix > ilvl 63 +3 affix

well i mean, generally i get lesser 61++ items.. probably just me though

last night i was running around 210% MF and i got like 6-7 ilvl 62 and 1 ilvl 63 and NO ilvl 61....
but all of it are npc worthy only...haha

lol, fist very high value if got LoH or crits with slot. For Dagger, i need to research 1st see which plan good.
thanks for the advise

again, its random, its a roll between 1xx-9xx

ive got at least 2-3 weapon that ive smithed at 7xx dmg, gave it away

higher aspd than fist

wider class range usability (hence selling better regardless of getting non related stats)

idk why ppl overate fist so much

Adding to Ong's topic:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/x2...ablo_3_and_why/

The main point is: always choose the Act which you can quickly clear with 200+MF. Don't farm Act 3 if you cannot do it fast or cannot wear MF.

You'll never know what the feeling of a monk wielding dagger vs fist. We had sentimental relationship on fist weapon
