Guild Wars 2

First of all, what is the maximum amount of mf you can get? I believe you have bonfires, banners, food, gear infusions, guild buffs, boosters, certain maps-only bonuses (like silverwastes and currently wvw) but are all those stackable? And how much would be in the total if the base mf was 300% ?

I know mf is supposed to affect the loot you get, but does it affect the drops you get from the champ bags you loot? I wanted to know if i shoulda collect bags and then use a booster+food before opening them; or if i should just open them right away. What about salvageable items? What about the World Bosses chests? And daily bonus chests?

595, mf does not affect any kind of chest/bag. It only affects direct drops from mobs. Open chests as you get them. Saving them up gives you no benefits and it makes opening them a lot more tedious.

Didn’t see mention to that, but since they didn’t show it in that table it means that the max 300% also include the account bonus right? I would expect that if you get a +karma% from achievements it would always get you an higher mf regardless of it being 300 or not :/ Well not that it matters much since i will probably never reach that value.

I remember during that patch (was it the September feature one?) when they decreased the amount of gold dropped from Champ bags that people said that from that point on mf would affect the drops of the said bags. I did see people ingame saying this, and some other talking about it on forum, but i don’t recall official notes stating such. I guess it was just asking too much :x

As to opening the bags i was avoiding it, not only till be sure about this, but also because i tend to have my inventories full, and opening them would mean more mats. But on other side i might be lucky with some gear, and it will increase my mf (salvage) regardless so ill probably just do it..

Than ks for the answer.

near the bottom of http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magic_Find:
Max from bonuses is 295%: 50% mf booster/bonfire + 30% mf laureate boost + 100% celebration/birthday bonus + 10% guild mf + 15% mf banner + 20% mf infusion + 40% food + 30% oil
then there’s the 300% from luck
then there’s 16% from AP
so that’s 611% total.

further…
if you have Greater Call of the Mists, you could have 811% while in PvP. similarly; Call of the Mists for 711%.
with Mist War Summons, you could have 661% while in WvW. If you add Outnumbered, that’s 681%.
with Perseverance, you could have 761% while in Silverwastes
