Latest notes on drops is that the amount of MF you have will possibly yield a higher amount of affixes on the item dropped. Wearing 0 MF farming act 3 and you see two affixes? This is the issue. Go farm Act 1 and load up on MF to get a higher amount of affix possibilities.

It is on the battlenet forums.

what? thats fucking idiotic.

Well it is how magic find is intended to work.

After the /random # is rolled to determine if it is a ilevel X item. Next it rolls magic.

Magic Find includes:

There is blue items (2 affixes)
There is gold items (3, 4, 5, 6 affixes)
There is Legendary items (7+ affixes)
There is Set items

with gold with 6 affixes being harder to find than 5, which is harder to find than 4.

lvled my WD to 60 last weekend. bought 1.3mil worth of gear and face tanked entire act 2. yes, on WD. lol

i have a friend who has a lvl 60 WD and he farms inferno stuff all the time for drops to make gold. it's a viable class to play for sure. personally, i think the play style sucks and is totally unfun. im not planning on farming for days to get drops to make gold. i want to enjoy the class i play. WD is not one of them, for me.

I bought and sold gold and I was flipping items on the AH. I think the gold thing got be banned cause I didn't want to pay 2.50 per m on the RMAH and just used 3rd party sellers. They hit me really quick too I was in the middle buying some gold and I got DCed.

Oh well 1500$ is 1500$ now moving on to GW2. Not paying for D3 again, not worth the 60$.

got burned then getting pissed at the game? :whiste:

I put my 2nd lot up of 2.7m about an hour after my 1st lot sold. I assumed that hour would have had a lot of people ahead of me but it still sold around 8:30pm est, I put it up around 5ish? My first lot sold nearly instantly when I put it up right after maintenance. When did you put yours up?

Threw my lot on around 10pm last night. Just got an e-mail at 1pm next day that it sold, so 13 hour lag time...

If gold actually continues to sell, it may be better to just sell all my commodities on the GAH for gold, then "convert" it to cash.

And woot: made $0.72 for selling that 400k gold. Probably took me 2-3 hours to farm that, so ~$0.25/hour wage.

Curious.. was there a large lack of items on the AH last night? Both RMAH and GAH.. The night before there would be pages and pages of stuff for the items I was searching for and last night I was lucky to find half a page.

You did better than me! I could only get to level 2 before I said, "Shooting darts is boring!"

WD isn't about just shooting darts. I've put 150 hrs into my WD, and it's a really fun class. Probably not the most practical, but the different abilities that we have are much more interesting than run n shoot or just tank.

There's VQ bears, run n shoot darts, CC with pets. WD is like the jack of all trades, and master of none.

Boring is definitely not one of the WD's quality.

cant enter that... someone summarice please?
Magic Find


Finding more and better magic items is critical to overcoming challenges and defeating enemies in Diablo III, particularly on higher difficulties. Magic find is a unique item property that can help you drastically improve your haul. It is tracked in the Inventory menu (Inventory > Details > Adventure).
But what does that really mean?
Magic find affects the quality of items you acquire from killing enemies (but not treasure chests, vases, weapon racks, or other environmental objects). It doesn’t give you a chance to get more items on a given kill – instead, it increases the chance that an item you find will be magical, and more potent than it would be otherwise.
When a monster drops an item, Diablo III randomly determines the item’s quality from a chart that includes item quality and the number of affixes present. The game randomly "rolls" on each property in the chart to determine which affixes your item will get. Your magic find score is applied as a bonus to these rolls.
For example, if a monster has a 4% chance to drop a 6-affix rare item and you have +50% magic find, it now has a 6% chance to drop that item.
Item quality is checked in the following order:

Legendary
6-affix rare
5-affix rare
4-affix rare
2-affix rare
1-affix rare
magic item


Using the above example, when your roll ‘misses’ a higher-level item quality, the item generator proceeds to the next lowest item quality in the chain (in this case, checking to see if you got a 6-affix rare, then checking for a 5-affix rare, and so on). Your magic find bonus applies to each roll. If the same monster has a 10% chance to drop a 5-affix rare item and you have 50% magic find, you now have a 15% chance to get a 5-affix rare item.
In a group, all players' magic find bonuses are averaged. So, if you’re in a four person group where two players each have +20% magic find and the other two players have none, all four players will effectively have +10% to magic find.

Well it would make more sense if it's true that 'rares' are not all actually equally rare but rather subdivided into different 'types' of rares, which I wouldn't have expected.

On the other hand, I wouldn't call the Game Guide the word of god (this is the same game guide that didn't reflect ASPD changes until weeks after the nerf). I think you can look at that page and find evidence just as easily for assuming "MF doesn't affect set items", but I wouldn't take that to be true right off the bat either.

Could go either way I guess.

So with them verifying how MF works (increases chance of more properties) farming Act I in high MF vs. Act III with none seems the way to go.

Slightly lower drop rate of 63s (drop rate x %chance) but a significantly higher chance a better ones. Of course Act I will give you a ton more money since you won't die much.

I just realized I could buy lots of gold from the chinese dude and turn it over on the RMAH and make about $5 for every 10million in gold. Probably more since I could get it in bulk for less money.

Buy 100 mill and turn it over for $50+ really quick

Maybe people doing this are the ones getting banned. Like that one dude that just posted saying he got banned after making $1500


I thought of that yesterday but it takes a long time to move 100m, too much work for too little payout and it's not worth the risk of getting banned.

This guide was just updated to include the new MF info. I think there was also a blue post on it, seems legit.

I don't see anything indicating it's new info, the blue tracker shows no mention of an update for it at least. And if you check the page the comments discussing it only begin as of about 16 hours ago. To me it sounds more like it's been there, but nobody really bothered to actually look until someone stumbled upon it.

According to this July 12 note, it was just added recently: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6648350/Diablo_III_Game_Guide_Updated-7_12_2012

....Do 1 affix rares even exist? I don't remember ever seeing a 1 affix rare. 2 affixes yes, but never just 1.

Diablofans.com has it as new and that page didn't exist when I bought the game about a week after it came out.

Ah, fair enough. I hadn't checked the news. That is neat though, I feel like 'real' gear with MF on it will suddenly become even more expensive lol.

I bought an Inna's Blessing with 20% MF last night. I am sitting with shoulders, belt and bracers with 20 and my quiver at 15. I am working on getting good gear with MF really slow.

You didn't happen to pay a weird amount, like 270,270 or something like that?

I just ask because I just sold my Inna's stuff and I'm pretty sure my Blessing had that exact stat. I had 4 pieces of it, it just wasn't good enough for inferno
