How do you know that the MF actually does not work. Its all dependent on luck. Doing 1000 something runs and comming to that conclusion proves nothing. How do you actually know?

Well that's the same with the constriction ring, supposedly, isn't it? The MF doesn't work? Do any of the ring's features work? :O

if u do more then 1000 runs ( we made actually over 6000 runs in total) thers no more luck, and we talk about droprate (how many uniques , rares , set, blues ) and not about items. (cause the items are most depending on ur char level etc.)

and if u do 3000 with helm and 3000 without and u have +-5% same rate of drops u can say IT DOESNT WORK.

theres no luck in it

It works

(I was supposed to send this earlier, but i had some cookieproblems and couldn´t post...)

Well, a friend of mine had the helm earlier at Europe realm. I tested the helm and it worked (of course i don´t know how much MF the helm gives, but it gives MF).

Why my test is the right one? Well, i can´t see sin316's friends tested without any MF and then only with the helmet. They probably had some MF without the helmet and then you wouldn´t see any difference.

And when you do the test you should look for yellow (rare) items, because you don´t see that big difference when it comes to uniques, it´s like Jotka wrote: Its all dependent on luck.

How it works:

If you have 0,02% chance to get a pretty good unique without any MF you will have 0,077% with 800 MF (still very little chance). 0,077 = 0,02 * 3,84 (3,84 is 284% increased chance of getting unique items)


800% MF will be:

284% increased chance of getting unique, 391% set, 423% rare and 800% magic.


267% MF which i think is a pretty good number (but i like to have somewhere between 300-350) has:

200% increased chance of getting unique, 225% set, 230% rare and 267% magic.


As you can see the difference of getting uniques isn´t that great with the high MF. These calculations can be found at this site: http://stats.diabloii.net/calcs/MFcalc.shtml which is a very good site, where you also can find out which moster has the greatest possibility of dropping a specific item. (To check this out, click Calculators if you´re on the main page, then Treasure Class and a new window opens, then click Item Search)

Good Luck, Hagel.

only thing had mf on it was helm, not any other items /charms were wearing.

secondly i said drop rate of ALL items , which includes blue, yellow, green and gold items .

and i say it again.

we made around 6000 runs in total, 3000 with it , 3000 without,

the drop rate was about the same , even a bit more without any mf .

enough said ?

and about the luck factor,

after 3000 runs there is no more luck factor. of course u wont find the same items in each serie of runs , but almost, ( normal for normal)(elite for elite ) etc.

but maybe if u believe very strong in it , it may work ..

LOL, i say.....LOL!

First it was over 1000 runs with and without.........ehh, and now 6000/6000. Thats a big difference, i don´t think i believe you....well...no i don´t.

And why i only mentioned the yellow items is because you see the biggest difference there. If you play whitout any MF and let say you kill all monsters in blood, you will not find many yellow items, but if you kill all the monsters again with the helm you will se the difference or you´re blind, thats it!

I´ve tried it and i know it works, i havn´t done 1000 runs....or 6000 runs with and without, but many enough to know it worked.
