Today I thought I would try to farm a bit since something is better than nothing. I put on my MF gear and went to wander Cursed. I was surprised that I seemed to be getting slightly better drops. Not pre 11-15 quality/quantity but a lot better than lately.

After I finished I went to change back to regular armor and noticed that I had failed to put on my MF trinkets and was thus running 35% lower MF than normal.

So has anyone investigated if the current Loot nerf/bug situation might include a MF sweet spot in between the +140% range max add-on and unenhanced base?

I normally run with 100% MF on my farming character, yesterday I decided to use an MF booster to bring me up to 150% MF, over two 30 minute sessions (spaced 2h apart) I noticed a resounding… lack of change in my drop rate for T5/6 materials and blue/green drops, I’m pretty sure it didn’t decrease but there wasn’t a justifiable increase in the drops even though I have 1.5x as much MF as normal.

Fornicate like you’ve never fornicated before.
