Guild Wars 2

Lets say I get every buff to increase my magic find to 111%:

Armor x6 = 18% MF
Weapon x25 Stacks = 15% MF
Gemshop Buff = 50% MF
Cooking Skill 400 Food = 28% MF

Total = 111% Magic Find

Does this mean that every drop will give me a better item than it normally would?
Does this mean that I would get a better drop and an additional item?

Is there a cap to Magic Find?

How exactly does this mechanic work?

If anyone could fill me in on this, that would be great!

… 111% is not the max. Superior Rune of Traveler set gives another +50% and you’re missing out on the accessories/rings/amulet too. Also the food can go up to +40%.

I think the percentage is an increase to your chances of finding a rare item. So for 100% you would be twice as likely to find a rare item than without.

No. Games with magic find will never give you a magic item every drop if you reach 100+ magic find. It would simply ruin the game and the economy. You just have a much higher chance of finding one.

Not to mention magic find is a loose term. That could range from low end blues to purples, and sometimes the item may not even be a weapon or armor.
