How does MF work on Followers?

[Valeli]

So I haven't been closely following D3 at all, and haven't played in forever, but hopped on the other day figuring I'd look at the new patch. Anyways, in another post here talking about the XP boost Flux (I think it was) talks about "I\'ve got a ruby in my hat and HR and Leoric\'s ring on my merc".

I know what the ruby in one's helm does, of course. But how does +XP on rings or whatever work if your follower has it equipped instead of you? Do you get the full XP bonus? Do you get a reduced percentage of what the xp bonus should be? Other?

While I'm asking follower questions I guess, can someone remind me how MF and GF worked if you give it to your follower?

Thanks

20% mf/gf/xp.

What Steven said. Also, forget about MF. Only 10% of your total MF works for Legendaries and 30% for Rares. MF is essentially irrelevant now.

Oh, wow. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I was running around with a low leveled nagelring for just about nothing then. Will be nice to get some actual stats in there instead.

Also, and this is probably fairly irrelevant since the numbers are really too low to matter, but if your follower has something that gives +Y xp/kill, do you get +0.2Y xp/kill for having it on him?

Also, it's not like D2 where your merc needed to get the kill for mf to apply, right? (IE, whatever bonus is on his gear just goes straight to me if I'm the one killing stuff)?
