Guild Wars 2

I really want to know whether magic find affects chests or not. I hear from one person it does, and i hear from another that it doesn’t. Anyone able to tell me for sure if it does or not?

Officially no, it does not. Anet has said chests are specifically exempted because they didn’t want people to feel forced to carry around 2 sets of armor and swap before opening every chest.

Unofficially, it really feels like I get better loot from chests when I’m wearing MF gear, but my sample size is a far too small to make any meaningful conclusions.

tyvm for the info, is there any official MF cap that anyone knows of?

Mathematically, no. There is no cap.

It was officially stated that no it does not affect chests,however that chest have a better chance for good loot than mobs
