I would personally never ever do this experiment, but i am intrigued that someone did. Therefore i am glad he made the video for my entertainment at his expense. I don't think he is suggesting to anyone that this is an optimal magic finding setup, in fact im sure he even recommends you DO NOT do this.

Unique items can be upgraded to their exceptional/elite versions. This is especially useful for Goldwrap as it gets one more item row while still matching your strength. The recipe is Tal + Shael + PDiamond + normal Goldwrap (base item 'heavy belt') --> upgraded Goldwrap (base item 'battle belt')

Hi! Isn't using a cold merc a bad idea? Less bodies to use Item Find.

Before going to the boss, drink 4 antidote potions from the shop that last for 2 minutes and get you a lot of poison resistance

Is it possible to find a jewelers armor or monarch of luck?

beside item drop, and magic find, there are also mod rolls. we notice these controllers variables back in old days and now they are all shown in poe

I feel like the amount time spend waiting for your merc would allow to complete at least a few extra Mephisto runs. I get that this is just a demonstration, but that took a long time for the the merc to kill meph.

Cool video man I’ll definitely try out an MF barb at some point. Probably won’t be using the last wish though, 5 high runes is a bit too pricy right now lol. Also it’s funny that an MF video has a thumbnail of a bunch of high runes on the floor (since mf doesn’t affect their drop chance).

Mercenaries cannot get to level 99 FYI. Also this is completely untested but if you got charms with poison damage can it get the killing blow on monsters? I know it cannot in PvP but I am not as versed in PvM. If it cant then you could get all 7% MF Small Charms with Poison damage and it would get the enemy to 1 health really quickly?

Bro this was insanely cool to watch! me and my friend when we were young and dumb used to wonder what the max magic find was and what it would look like! 11 year old me would have pissed himself if he saw what you have done here today! GG Xtimus

I always enjoyed my MF barb. Just slap some good main dps weapons on him, and have him duel wield 2x baba with ist socketed. Grab some gear that has MF on it but doesnt nerf you too much. Then go on a trip around the world: Eldritch > Shenk > Pindleskin > Council > Countess. Not ideal for the greatest drops but they all have mobs around them with pretty good item drops, a load of gold drops too, and none of them are too difficult to kill (council being exception based on their auras). Not the most effective farming (I think I got around 300mf), but its fast, relatively safe, and very easy. Ideal to find some stuff for trading or to give to toons or friends.

lies item find is the same drop rate on what items that comes from the monsters as when you kill them, maxing Find Item will not give you a higher chance to grand uniq items, items are set to a drop rate based on monsters lvl if you'r playing on normal or hell and how many players you are in the game. besides these 3 things there is no way what so ever to gain more drop rate in the game magic find is also not for drop rate its for Identifying perfect rolled items...

sheeeeesh that luck on the drops though!!! eth treks and eth andy out of just 48 uniques is absolutely insane

@AG-ld6rv

When doing an actual magic-find build, the main component is having a solid 300-600% magic find with fast clearing speed. It'll only slow you down to invest in magic find on your mercenary, waiting for him to last hit every monster. Keep in mind that mercenary magic find only comes into play if they get the last hit in which case the magic find used is the sum of theirs and yours. Otherwise, only your magic find is used. In the video, he invested so many resources into his mercenary, because he was trying to figure out the maximum magic find possible - not to be a useful magic find build.

u forgot to switch weapons on mephs death

Still amazed after all these years how they decided to actually put a naked female demon with boob physics in the game just after the 90s. What a time to be alive! The game mechanics on top of all the attention to detail created WAAAAAAAY to much nostalgia for this game.
