Is there something I’m missing? The consumable drop items usage seems to do nothing past mf 25. Sorry if I’m missing something but forum search seems to be broken for me also.

I seem to keep losing my Magic Find. At the beginning of the SAB patch when we recieved 5 of these legendary essences, I got my MF up to 60%. The next day, it was 47. Suddenly now, it’s 37.

Edit: It would probably also be useful to note that I was not using any magic find bonuses like food or banners.

What’s going on here? Aren’t these essences permanent? Anet should have been more clear about this.

Yes, they are permanent, however the most likely cause is that you did have a boost that was hidden, such as a guild MF increase.

From those 5 essences or what? Keep in mind that they only give a measly 20% (at best). To get up to 60%, you must have either salvaged 500+ greens and be lucky with the drops or have something like 60,000 achievement points – which I somehow doubt.

Also you can check your progress in the achievement tab, on each essence consumed. That way you can be certain that it increases. The requirement raise alot with each level. In the beginning its just 100 to next MF percentage, at 60% its somewhere around 1000.

I did never say I had 0 MF before I used those essences, did I? But then again, neither did I say I had around 40% before consuming them. Anyway, in the achievement tab, two days ago, my MF was at “42 from luck, 5 from achievement”, i.e. 47%. Now, it’s “33 from luck, 5 from achievement”. That doesn’t seem right.

Again, no food or banners were involved. And as far as my guild is concerned, they only use guild buffs on weekends.

Thank you! That is the info I needed
