Magic Finding
[[Magic Find]]ing (MF) deserves special chapter, because all you can do to increase your chances to find good items from certain monster in players1 mode is only to increase your MF.
'''What is MF? '''<br> It is "+% Better Chance of Getting Magic Item" property, that can be found on many items in the game, topazes are most popular of them.
'''What MF do? '''<br> It increases your chances at magic, rare, set and unique items. 100% MF doesn't means that all items, that you find will be magic. It means, that the chance of item to be magic will be doubled. MF have diminishing returns for finding rare, set and unique items.
'''What is MF diminishing returns? '''<br>Effective MF=(MF*Factor)/(MF+Factor), where Factor=250 for unique items, 500 for set items and 600 for rare items.
'''Is there a cap on MF? '''<br> Yes, implicitly. When you stack up your MF your increase your chance to find unique, set, rare and magic items. There is a cap on this chances. For example the cap in unique item chances for Act bosses is 50% (calculates from itemratio.txt as 128/(6400-(6400*983/1024))). Practically you'll never reach this cap, so don't afraid to increase your MF.
'''Will MF work on Runes? '''<br> No. MF works only when item type is already selected. So with more MF you will NOT get more weapons and armors and less runes.
'''Will MF help getting better Items from Gambling? '''<br>No.
'''Will MF work with Minions and Hirelings? '''<br>Yes. When you make a kill, you get the MF% of yourself only. When a Hireling gets a kill, it uses the combined MF of the Hireling and you.
'''Does number of players in the game increase the chances for an item to be unique? '''<br>No, it just increases number of dropped items and thus the number of unique items found. Only MF increases the chances for an item to be unique.
'''Does MF work on chests? '''<br>Yes, MF DOES work on every objects: chests, rocks, dead bodies, urns, etc. See chapter 17 for exact description of object drops. Special chest have fixed quality chances, though. How exactly MF works? It increases the chances for item to be unique/set/rare/magic by EffectiveMF/100 times. For example, Baal dropping an Unearthed Wand has 128/1984 chance to generate unique when you have 0% MF and 128/992 chance, when you have 167% MF.
