Guild Wars 2

So on occasion, I go out farming T6 mats. I got to thinking would too much magic find result in a blue T6 Mat being ‘upgraded’ to a green item?

Can you have too much Magic Find?

I don’t think that is the case. ArenaNet did not provide the exact specification for MF, but they did say each item type is in a different table, which is MF independent.

What I interpret this to mean, is that the game decides whether a drop is a weapon, fine material, cash, or whatever before MF determines “what” it is. If this is the case, you get a blood fine material, and MF increases the chance it’s tier 6 instead of tier 5. But High MF won’t convert that blood fine material into a rare axe.

This is my understanding of it, which might be completely flawed.

Thanks Bcd, I was of the same thinking – more being better, but then I started getting less T6 mats and more green and yellow drops. Maybe it’s just the RNG, but I was hoping someone might have conducted a trial of MF of various levels vs drop rate.
