Q:

Hello guys,

I have just started the progress for a legendary
and i was thinking to buy a magic find gear(gear-weapons-trinkets).

  • Does it worth the investment?
  • Will i have an actual profit?

I would like to hear your opinions and especially from those,
that have already equiped magic find gear.

  • Did you see a decent improvement in the drops?
  • Did it worth the money that you spend?
    Because, due to my calculations, it will cost around 45g.
    Thanks for your time and have fun.

From what I’ve read in the crafting forums (which are rampant with threads on crafting for a legendary, using the Mystic Forge, etc), the general consensus seems to be “every little bit helps”, and that even an extra 1% in magic find can help.

But of course, I’m no where near getting a legendary, and really don’t expect to be anytime soon, if ever. So what do I know?

you can get most mf gear from dungeons. except trinkets, which you can get from fotm/laurels. so i don’t see how it can cost anywhere near 45g

btw. where do you expect yo use it?
general consensus is that it might be useful for dynamic events and open world farming, but you would be dead weight in dungeons.

Well, there are a few things i would like to point out.

  • I don’t get MF gear from dungeon cos i don’t like the stats.
    They give Power-Cond dmg-MF instead of what i can get from trading post
    which is Power-Precision-MF
  • I plan to use that gear fom dynamic events and mobs farming for specific materials
  • The cos is 45g if you buy them all from trading post
  • I won’t use it on dungeons but even if i did, there is no possibility of dead weight.
    Dungeons are so easy that u don’t really need max stats.
    I mean i can do fine even if you give me masterwork gear.

I would like to listen to more players opinions till i decide.
Keep em coming guys.

MF gear in dungeons is stupid (time wise) for two reasons: MF does not work on chests so you get minimal use, and having low power/precision as opposed to high power, with precision and critical will slow you down, regardless of how big your ego is.

Best MF on gear is from trinkets. The armor only provides 3% per piece. I use ascended MF accessories and rare MF armor with 5 noble runes and 1 other MF rune, but only for dynamic events. WvW and dungeons I use high damage gear to make the run as fast as possible.
