Killing monsters in Diablo 2 Resurrected will drop various items. Whether or not these d2r ladder items have magical properties depends on the monster that drops the item, and how much "Magic Find" bonus the player has on the item.
In general, one can say: "The more MF bonus there is on the equipment, the higher the chances of good magic items". It should be noted that this change does not increase linearly with additional MF equipment, but that the bonuses are gradually reduced. Before patch 1.10, equipment with around +250% MF chance was considered good and +400% MF (or more) very good. However, having more than 400% MF made little sense due to the significantly decreasing bonuses in this area, and other important equipment properties such as resistance to elemental attacks must inevitably take a back seat. So even with Magic Find characters, it's important to strike the right balance between MF bonuses and other important traits on the gear.Since patch 1.10, and especially in the more difficult so-called ladder mode in Battle.net, the monsters have become significantly stronger, faster, and more robust, which means that the MF bonuses on the equipment can no longer be as lavish as before. The game developers were also aware of this, and since patch 1.10 there have been some changes in the game that are particularly beneficial for "Magic Finder": There are now generally more items from the higher treasure classes and fewer from the lower ones The quality of the rare (yellow) items has increased significantly thanks to a thorough revision and expansion of the magic affix pool (total of all possible pre- and suffixes on magic items). More magic quality items (magic, rare, unique, and set items) now drop in general. The base chance for these has been increased by an average of about 25%, with normal items of magical quality, in particular, dropping much more frequently than before. The latter means the following about MF equipment since patch 1.10:
- For unique items, for example, +0% MF on the equipment in patch 1.10 equates to about +30% MF in patch 1.09
- +200% MF in 1.10 corresponds to about +470% MF in 1.09
- +500% MF in 1.10 corresponds approximately to (theoretical) +3500% MF in 1.09
- The huge difference in the last two comparisons comes from the fact that the overall 25% increase in uniques continues despite the precipitous drop in equipment bonuses in these areas.
When choosing MF equipment, you now have several options. In the first place there are the good, but also rare and therefore expensive, unique items or set items, which, among other properties, have a high percentage of additional chances for magical items. The MF chance of each of the following items can be increased with an IST rune (+30% MF chance in weapons, +25% in helmets), provided it is pocketable (e.g. from Larzuk after quest 1 in act 5). , Armor and Shields) or a Perfect Topaz (+24% MF Chance in Helms and Armor).
