Magic Find stuck at 1%
So I just got back into Guild Wars to find out there are some changes since I previously played. On of them is the lack of magic find items. I read up and apparently we were meant to receive 20% magic find free. This never happened for me I haven’t received an item which adds to my magic find and I am stuck at 1%. Is there something I have to activate or am I doomed to be at 1%
First, the Essences of Luck you receive will move an account from zero (or near that) to 20%, not give an additional 20%. Second, said Essences of Luck will come through the in-game mail to the first character you log-in on, and stay in that character’s mail (it isn’t account-wide mail). Thus, you should check all your characters for that mail, and make sure you delete any old mails from ArenaNet to make sure there is no backlog of mail.
To achieve other increases in Account-wide Magic Find, you only need salvage ‘blues’ and ‘greens’, and they will have a good chance of producing various rarities of Essences of Luck, which you can double-click on to raise your MF.
Welcome back to Tyria, and good luck!
