Does magic find increase karma drop rates?

Does diminishing returns reduce drop rates?

Is based off of a certain amount of kills to get a set amount? ( 7 vials in 100 kills but randomized?)

What technical facts would make farming these karma items more efficient?

Never has, presumably never will.

Does diminishing returns reduce drop rates?

There are different types of DR.

  • If you “overfarm” and area and DR kicks in, it affects all drops, including (presumably) karma consumables.
  • If you get event DR, then all the rewards from the event are diminished, including xp and karma (and drops from any boss loot).

Is based off of a certain amount of kills to get a set amount? ( 7 vials in 100 kills but randomized?)

It’s random, like all drop loot in the game. With the karmic retribution, there’s a chance (two stacks: greater chance, three stacks: still more of a chance) of getting karma consumables, but everyone is going to have lucky and unlucky streaks. No guarantee that x kills will generate a minimum number of vials or other sized chunks of karma.

What technical facts would make farming these karma items more efficient?

  • The more foes you kill, the more stuff that drops.
  • The more stacks of karma retribution you have, the more karma consumables that drop (and with a greater chance of larger-sized drinks).
