MF item drop rate

does anyone know if certain MF equip has been nerfed in terms of findability- i mean, when i used to play d2 (this is my 2nd run ^ ^) i remember ali babas and war travelers dropping like flies- now though, ive found 2 stormshields compared to my one ali baba :scratch: , 0 war travelers, 0 skulders and the dual leech mf helm (4got name- thats how long i havent seen it in) this is just a little rant- and dont think im being fussy- i know mephy drops well for me (2 storms 2 hours :flip: ) just a little frustrated.

Your expectations are just too high, I mean TWO Stormshields in TWO hours. How much MF?

I haven't found one, like ever! And that's about three years time. :rant:
Neither do I know about War Travs and Ali Babas dropping like flies. I haven't found Travs, only three Alis.

About to do a statistic-thingy on 50 Andy&Meph runs summed together. We'll see then. :lol:

Supposedly 1.10 drops were balanced out so uniques can drop more evenly as compared to 1.09.

Of course you can boost your MF % as much as possible, and sit there with drop calcs crunching away, but lots of times with this game its just pure streaky luck.

btw, the helm is Stealskull, with dual leach and MF. add a UM rune for 15% resists and this is a great head piece.

btw, Ive found about 4-5 Ali's, 1 war travs, 0 skulders, 0 harley in all my MFing... certainly no Stormshields

Same thing happend to me when "all" I was looking for was a Grim Helm. However Mephisto didn´t give it up until he had thrown 4 Monarch´s at me.
Of course I appreciated it, but that Grim Helm was the last piece I wanted for my merc before starting to pitrun.

yea mf is really just luck but i've found ali baba and travs in 2 hours so idono wut u mean really by mf items being nerfed

 

[LprMan]

I would say you have just had "bad" luck

For example in 1.09 I never found Gaze or Arreat's but got Eaglehorn, 2x Glad Bane, 2x Mavs bow, 3x Stromshield etc etc...and all those were found from hell Meph

Just keep running, sooner or later they will drop :thumbsup:

I think I found ONE pair of War Travs in 1.09 and no Ali Babas at all. I think you were just lucky, mate.

As vajurewi mentioned they have evened out the drop rates for the various TCs.
It is nothing to do with MF items specifically, however the main MF items are clustered in the same basic TC area (the middle). In 1.09 you would get several mid-level TC items for each high level TC one. Now you get a more even distribution. If you are used to the 1.09 style, it will seem like you get more high end items and less mid-range ones now.

ahh that makes sense, and about the stormshields- my best ever half hour on d2- ran meph- 49% war travelers, run again, storm, run again 50% war travelers- all this at about 4 in the morning :drool: ,and then a couple of days later another 50% pair

 

[-.kreizi.-]

you got any spare now?

edit: war travs that is

 

[MFdoom]

sorry found in bnet 1.09- the old world. im currently looking for my 1st 1.10 war travelers- and now i play single player :clap:

It seems to me that certain items drop more often but then again it could be just a twist of fate.
Dunno.
Found more then 10 Hellslayers but only one pair of Gore raiders so far.

Isenhart's Case certainly doesn't seem to drop as often, although the Lightbrand and Cathan's Mesh may have increased in frequency to compensate.

Can't really say about high-end items, having only seen one in a more appropriate colour.
