Guild Wars 2

I recently transmuted my magic find gear with my new human t3 armor that i’ve been saving up for a very long time to get. After transmuting the gear, I decided to farm the cursed shore for loot like I always do, but this time I noticed that I was getting much worse drops than befor (i have over 100% mf and i used a mf booster and still was getting barely any rare or t6 items like i was befor).

The difference in my drops are significant and I was wondering if there is any way I can fix this without having to buy another armor set…

I`m afraid you just hit DR and decreased loot you are getting has nothing to do with transmutation.

DR?

all i know is yesterday morning I was getting a lot of t6 and rare drops with my 103% magic find set. Now with the same stats in a different gear (and a mf booster!) im back to getting a lot of white drops and no rares after a whole afternoon of farming (btw this is after the patch so that had nothing to do with it). makes me think i wasted all my time getting this armor now

Well, MF is still a mystery to me. I had my guardian with 0 MF – staff does nicely with cursed shore farming and myguardian brought home a lot of nice loot. When I had enough loot I made him a nice yellow farming set with MF runes, MF rings and whatnot. What happened: Almost all drops where whites, some blue and on rare occasions I got a green. In 4h of farming I got 0 yellow or orange drops. I then reverted back to the other armor with 0 MF and drops switched to blues and greens with the odd yellow thrown in … so 0 MF was better than 100+ MF …

On my engineer … when I had the rings and amulets with MF drops were decent to poor. After I removed those and swapped for toughness, condition damage, etc. the amount of gold drops has increases – dramatically so. My guildmates whith whom I farm often curse me when I ping the 8th yellow drop in 1h when most of them have gotten like 1, max 2.

So I really, really do not yet understand how MF actually works and – as it seems to me – there might be even a “too much” MF point after which your drop quality actually, er, drops.
