Yo guys so I wanted to comment and give you guys my thoughts on this video. First I'm sorry for mispronouncing so many words. As many of you may tell I have a lisp. You probably know it's a speech disorder. At times I also have difficulty pronouncing certain words and learning them. Growing up I had many learning disabilities and it was harder for me to process subjects and I was very young when I first started playing Diablo 2 and the way I say names like Mephisto as Mepheesto is just the way I have always said them since I was in elementary school and it just stuck with me. Same goes for Monarch,Arachnid and Annihilus. I know it's hard to watch at times and how out of the ordinary it is but since I was a little kid it's just how I pronounced those words and I only knew about them from Diablo 2. I hope you guys understand. Another note yes I called a unique ring a rare ring I know it was a unique ring I just kinda had a moment there where I was out of it because it's a lot different recording yourself playing games compared to playing by yourself and sometimes I get nervous recording and I just mess up on what I'm saying and lose concentration. Now that's out the way I hope you guys understand and I love making these videos and I love that you all watch them and enjoy them. Thank you :)
Didn't even notice myself except for the rare ring hehe, but I don't really give a fuck because it's about the 1000% mf and not a video on pronouncing everything correct and whatnot. People often are just nit-picking due to several reasons like attention and distraction and so on. Don't worry about it dude, and you don't have to be sorry for that either in my opinion! Great video, interesting gear hehe. You got this! ;-)
Xtimus I try your trick with Mephisto, but it doesn't seem easy to me - Level 2 is verry large, it takes time to find the way to level 3. Sometime I found level 1. And sometime I die when stucking on the bunch of monters. - I think Blizzard added some monters in the level 3. And your trick can't work with v1.14d. Could you please confirm to me? Please tell me if you don't understand me. I am not good at English but I am really like your video. Good work, bro!
Xtimus one more think I want to need your suggestion. I want to build a Sorc MF run. But my gear is very bad. Please tell me what's the best map to run MF for me and the cheapest gears I need to find(include where're to find sockets items and rune to build runeword) Currently, I often kill diablo in nightmare mode because I can't survice in hell mode. Cold resistance monters are my nightmare >.
1000% magic find. 0 space to put anything good you find. This was always something I hated about charms, and the cube was never enough for me. Good shit though.
yeah imagine if they did a remake of d2 with better graphic more bank/inventory storage and a higher rune drop rate. would be the best diablo game out.
***** drop rate still not high enough. you could become lvl 85 in less than 3 days without really trying too hard. but it would still take you like 5 months to farm the high runes to create your rune word gear. by then it's time for ladder reset hahahaha. probably more than 5 months lol. i don't bot anymore but even back when i did i was lucky to find like 3 hrs in a week and normally that included ist. haha. so by the time you can cube up to the runes you need. reset time is around the corner. the game should be playable solo so you don't need to buy hr's from everyone in order to have gear befor reset.
Yeah but realistically when you do a ton of Mef runs you're getting a lot of trash uniques anyway, so there isn't much point in saving inventory space. Gheeds is so common that it's always pretty safe to drop briefly when you find something decent.
Best childhood memory.. i used to run a bot all night long and everyday when i was in highschool... waking up in the morning was like chistmas everyday lol all those items and runes in my stash!
Hey xtimus I'm wondering what your thoughts are on having "too much mf". I have something like 800 mf on my sorc and to be honest I haven't noticed a huge difference in drops from about 350. A few of the people I play with tell me I'm actually more likely to get blues than uniques after a certain amount of mf. Do you have any thoughts on this?
hey one thing to note about mfing. The closer players stand together when fighting, the droprate will increase substaintially. It was the only way we began to find the rarest hrs like ber, jah, cham and zod consistently.
from what ive noticed most people mispronounce things in d2 because they were young children back when first playing it and being young they read it wrong and called it that and never change due to habit
@Xtimus Are you kidding me. " I'm sorry but Diablo 2 has some weird names." . Dude Cain pronounces Andariel's name in game for you. Besides any true D2 player worth his ass would have call her Andy.
that High magic find would do you way better in the pits, you need to have merc with the -resist aura ? though because there all immune to 2 elements I think cold and fire ? or make light sorce...for boss fights I never ran more than 400, because in my testing with 800+ the extra time + some deaths negated any benefit .
Hi I'm playing SP and am getting about 140% MF at about level 60 and just arrived at Act V of Nightmare. The thing is I'd like to get as many items as possible to help me get pass physical immune monsters in hell (Zeal paladin). Is there any place that you would recommend for MF before Hell? Thanks a lot! Because my internet is not very good so I prefer to play SP or one-player LAN, that means I missed some items from ladder/BN. BTW I'm playing 1.14d and it has been many years since I last played the game, so I'm not sure if the same MF spots work (Like Mephisto and Bhaal were the best MF way back in 1.09).
The thing with MF is that it doesn't add up very much past the 250-300% breakpoint. Past that, only killing speed and number of runs / kills per hour can upgrade your chances at good uniques or rare items. All in all, you do want some MF on your gear but not at the cost of damage or content clearing abilities. You also want to at the very least run diablo each run you do for both experience and half decent loot. And if you want the highest item level in the game only Baal and Nithalak can drop them. From my experience(10+years of the game) and my playstyle, the sorceress is the easiest char to get going plus you can make a fireball/frozen orb and kill all the content of the game with free teleport! If you can trade your way to an infinity for your merc, restat to pure light and laught at everything!
I just recently watch all Diablo 2 videos, especially your videos dedicated for the socceress build and how to easily magic find. But now I have another concern regarding my personal stash because I only have limited space and I just wanted to know if you can teach us, especially me how to expand your personal stash, since I'm a newbie in the game so I don't have any knowledge about this.
Awesome videos I been plan Diablo 2 of and on for about 15 years I haven't played it in about 6 years I'm about to play it Again on Wednesday when it comes in the mail do you have any tips or advice for starting out and did the latter just restart?
I like my MF Barb with "Find Item" skill. You can double up on treasure that way by "horking" up extra loot. It's like killing them twice. You can also go on magic finding teams where one guy does all the killing, and the other collects the treasure.
984% MF but still a lot. I figured 1,041% MF was the max you could acquire with no anni or torch and perf items (50% ammy, another 40% ring, 4 more 7mfsc's). MF has diminishing returns though, so the more you have the less it has an effect. 350-500 is usually a good amount of MF for practical purposes.
Tyreal talks to the 1,000%MF character, Tyreal says. "we have not seen this for over several centuries"... 1,000%MF character soon leaves after the conversation with a Tyreal's Might
It's actually much more efficient to max mastery and neglect one of the ice projectile skills, your damage will be much higher off screen with the increased pierce.
the best number for MF is around 250-300%, more than that will increase the drop rates of magic itens and the uniques will get a minor boost. What I'm saying is that you'll be loosing unique itens because of the drop of the magic itens
Somehow in the latest patch Blizzard must have fixed something because it runs flawlessly on my machine now, which is awesome. I could get it to run before but it was always freezing and crashing. Several evenings playing now and no problems. I really want to just pop in my old single player characters, but I think this one is going to be from scratch. It will take longer for sure, but I need it to take up some time and keep me busy anyway, so its all good. One quick question: Do you know if there is a Runeword Mod that will work on the latest patch(I believe it is 1.14d)? Its going to take awhile for me get to the point that I will even need to worry about it, but I am hoping I can use this mod. I might just upgrade the D2 LOD on my laptop and see if it keeps the Runeword mod. Either way, I am super excited because I did not think it would even work. Keep up the great videos man!!!
Bosses have a high chance to drop magic items, if you want to make use of that high mf, try some high level areas with a high mob density. If you stick with blizzard I suggest Ancient tunnels. Nice char, just for the fun of it right? You know about diminishing returns right ?
@4:50 you tp back to town yet, your inventory is full. hmmmmmmmm..... Also, I find it pointless to have a set of gear to teleport to a boss and then go to stash to swap out to mf gear.
Marijan Desin I'm going to make a video on this but make an account on battle.net and you can download The Diablo 2 client. You don't need the discs anymore. If you have the cdkey numbers that are on the jewel case you can use those to access the game. If not you can buy Diablo 2 and lod $10 each I think.
i use Crescent moon with my infinity merc and 2 5/5 light facets, so i do -130% light res, so i can kill any light immune monster pack, and my merc finishes off the boss. i can even kill light immune/physical immune boss, takes a little long, but i can do it. my merc uses Dream helm e bugged, ebugged ornate plate Dragon and a eth cv infinity. soon im going to put a eth skuders upped on merc, but dragon is nice for that little bit of extra damage and hydra's are cool
You said your merc dies a lot. No Sorc, or any other character for that matter, with a teleport (Enigma) -- should not be dying "all the time". TIP: a lot of people don't know...but every time you teleport your merc comes with you. So, yes, he will die, if you don't move around and expect him to tank. Teleport away to 1.) avoid damage, and 2.) heal him with a pot if necessary. TIP #2: Killing Andarial near pillars causes her to bug out sometimes and drop items on a spot of the map where they cannot be picked up. Try to kill her in the open.
Running Andy and Meph is almost pointless though since you cant find alot of the good items. Try running Ancient tunnels and other level 85 areas. And static field might help a little when killing bosses.
My favourite is just like your switch, and then full normal gear :> Don't need anything but that switch for magic find as sorceress, unless you we're for some reason gonna do maybe pindleskin or similar harder area's. Btw -nofixspect on your shortcut will help :)
Man reason why I loved Diablo II.... It wasn't overly complicated and didn't need to have modifiers of +4000% to bash +5000% to rend in order to do damage. Diablo III is just overly complicated and seeing all the stats on the inventory page made me feel like the game is a chore than having fun. I like hack n slash action RPG's. I don't like the game turning into an RTS. I miss a game that felt it was secure but yet broken in a way that made you feel you are doing something that you are not suppose to but was allowed. I miss it.
i know for some this is kindof a myth and they just won't believe it, but the numbers shows that passed about 650-700 MF you actually "lose" MF. For instance if you have let say 1 in 200 chances of dropping a said item with 650MF, at 1000MF you would probably have something like 1 in 205-210 chances. It's not much, but still.
***** Plus, and of course this is just me, I could've been unlucky, but in Singleplayer with Plugy I'm trying to get every unique/set items in the game, so when I have nothing to do I do a couple of MF runs with a hacked necro. The thing is, at first I had over 2k MF, then 1.1k MF and now I dropped it to 650MF, and everytime I've seen an increase in my unique/set drop rate.
This calculator shows numbers that corresponds to the theory of "check quality in order". Let's look at the chances that Pindle will drop CoA 300 mf = 1 : 25272 400 mf = 1 : 23574 1000 mf = 1 : 19880 It shows that higher mf give you higher chances to get unique Corona = CoA and that there is no "optimal" mf. Here is the chances that Meph will drop unique Shako 300 mf = 1 : 771 400 mf = 1 : 719 1000 mf = 1:606 And also as you can see to really test different mfs you have to do like 100k runs with different mf numbers :D And not like a couple
DarkLeviathan8 how can it go down that's the myth in itself the only difference is the diminishing returns get shorter an that is usually due to kill times an being able to mf quickly.
I came to this video randomly ... and I was shocked while watching it... had to check the upload date a few times. Do You really play this game with the same zeal as quite a few years ago ?
Xtimus Sorry, english isn't my first language and I don't know the proper word. Like, do You enjoy playing D2 same as a few years ago? For me it's like finished episode which I've enjoyed much. Hard believe someone is still playing it so hard.
while it does have a diehard fanbase still that cant move on because its so ground into their DNA and they think d3 sucks.. it much like its couterpart starcraft broodwar are basically graveyards.. theres not THAT many people playing anymore.. maybe hundreds
u can get a blue circlet with MF and 3 soc's in it instead of shako it gives u a lil more but u lose all that good shako stuff. my cousin did this build in i think 2010? he couldnt find the circlet in perfect form thoo, it was 2 mf off perfect if i remember. still dont know if anyone has found one
I always open every chest in this place and use the weapon/armour racks. Found a damn Skullder's Ire and another crazy thing Also, apparently such high MF isn't really required... Somewhere around the 400-600 mark is enough, you just gotta keep rinsing and repeating :-/
Cool video but 1000% really isn't necessary, around 450-500% on a Hammerdin will not only allow you to go through ANY area but ANY area really quickly. I believe after around 500-600% the drop rate on items depreciates a lot and really isn't worth it.
Yo guys so I wanted to comment and give you guys my thoughts on this video. First I'm sorry for mispronouncing so many words. As many of you may tell I have a lisp.

Nah man, it's cool. I didn't even notice to be honest. I'm really glad there is new quality D2 content on youtube
Didn't even notice myself except for the rare ring hehe, but I don't really give a fuck because it's about the 1000% mf and not a video on pronouncing everything correct and whatnot. People often are just nit-picking due to several reasons like attention and distraction and so on. Don't worry about it dude, and you don't have to be sorry for that either in my opinion! Great video, interesting gear hehe. You got this! ;-)
You say Andariel like a brit, t'sall good tho
Xtimus I try your trick with Mephisto, but it doesn't seem easy to me
- Level 2 is verry large, it takes time to find the way to level 3. Sometime I found level 1. And sometime I die when stucking on the bunch of monters.
- I think Blizzard added some monters in the level 3. And your trick can't work with v1.14d. Could you please confirm to me?

Currently, I often kill diablo in nightmare mode because I can't survice in hell mode. Cold resistance monters are my nightmare >.
-She usually drops lots of rings and amulets.
*drops nothing*
-She didn't drop shit.
I'm so happy that I find your channel, knowing that there are still players out there who plays this game. Subbed! :)
1000% magic find.
0 space to put anything good you find.
This was always something I hated about charms, and the cube was never enough for me. Good shit though.
yeah imagine if they did a remake of d2 with better graphic more bank/inventory storage and a higher rune drop rate. would be the best diablo game out.
***** drop rate still not high enough. you could become lvl 85 in less than 3 days without really trying too hard. but it would still take you like 5 months to farm the high runes to create your rune word gear. by then it's time for ladder reset hahahaha.
probably more than 5 months lol.
i don't bot anymore but even back when i did i was lucky to find like 3 hrs in a week and normally that included ist. haha. so by the time you can cube up to the runes you need. reset time is around the corner.
the game should be playable solo so you don't need to buy hr's from everyone in order to have gear befor reset.
there is a software called PlugY, which provides you countless inventory ) sadly, the author didnt make a newest one matched with 1.14 version
Yeah but realistically when you do a ton of Mef runs you're getting a lot of trash uniques anyway, so there isn't much point in saving inventory space. Gheeds is so common that it's always pretty safe to drop briefly when you find something decent.
Charms are one of the worst ideas. Wish they dropped it completely.
you should do a fast-forwarding video of you doing 100 mephy runs with this 1000 percent magic find sorc ♥♥♥
And show the results :) good idea though!
Yeah Indrek did something similar to that, but with an amazon doing I think it was 500 shenk, eldritch, and pindle runs. Crazy shit!
Mephy doesn´t drop so good items. Better kill Diablo, nilathak or baal.
I suppose but that might be hard for me to kill because he sacrificed killing speed for mf :(
MF Necros are great for that but not very fast :D
Best childhood memory.. i used to run a bot all night long and everyday when i was in highschool... waking up in the morning was like chistmas everyday lol all those items and runes in my stash!
why didnt you showthe ring????????????????????????????
Was probably a nagel or raven
Rudiez ̣ carrion wind lolz
obviously manald
Hm Xtimus can you explain how you have 0 tp schroll at 4:50 but sill opening a TP at 4:51 , am I missing sth ?
oh damn, you are right :)
is there a different version of tristram playing in the background? where can i find it?
5:05 Eth P Bonemaul is quite sellable for high end gear//currency on sites.
Hey xtimus I'm wondering what your thoughts are on having "too much mf". I have something like 800 mf on my sorc and to be honest I haven't noticed a huge difference in drops from about 350. A few of the people I play with tell me I'm actually more likely to get blues than uniques after a certain amount of mf. Do you have any thoughts on this?
hey one thing to note about mfing. The closer players stand together when fighting, the droprate will increase substaintially. It was the only way we began to find the rarest hrs like ber, jah, cham and zod consistently.
Are those the only 2 bosses that you kill? Have you ever tried running tunnels? Or is the risk of cold immune keeping you from running those?
Love your videos, really interesting considering I never play D2 that hardcore back in the day.
I've never seen such a hardcore D2 fan mispronounced so many item and boss names!
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing while watching this.. Dude doesn't even try to read or pronounce the names
from what ive noticed most people mispronounce things in d2 because they were young children back when first playing it and being young they read it wrong and called it that and never change due to habit
I totally agree. I'm sorry but Diablo 2 has some weird names.
4:04 hmmm look at that we got a rare ring ... when it's a unique one .... hmm k
@Xtimus Are you kidding me. " I'm sorry but Diablo 2 has some weird names." . Dude Cain pronounces Andariel's name in game for you. Besides any true D2 player worth his ass would have call her Andy.
that High magic find would do you way better in the pits, you need to have merc with the -resist aura ? though because there all immune to 2 elements I think cold and fire ? or make light sorce...for boss fights I never ran more than 400, because in my testing with 800+ the extra time + some deaths negated any benefit .
What about Pindleskin? Single run takes +-20sec., is very easy to kill and drops good items.
Hi I'm playing SP and am getting about 140% MF at about level 60 and just arrived at Act V of Nightmare. The thing is I'd like to get as many items as possible to help me get pass physical immune monsters in hell (Zeal paladin). Is there any place that you would recommend for MF before Hell? Thanks a lot! Because my internet is not very good so I prefer to play SP or one-player LAN, that means I missed some items from ladder/BN.
BTW I'm playing 1.14d and it has been many years since I last played the game, so I'm not sure if the same MF spots work (Like Mephisto and Bhaal were the best MF way back in 1.09).

From my experience(10+years of the game) and my playstyle, the sorceress is the easiest char to get going plus you can make a fireball/frozen orb and kill all the content of the game with free teleport! If you can trade your way to an infinity for your merc, restat to pure light and laught at everything!
ANDRIEL?
LOOOOL
He mispronounced so many words. This game has been out for 15+ years. How the hell does he still not know how to say Monarch?
Having an extra Chromosome will do that.
Archie mesh
Monarch LOL i literally couldn't stop laughing
So um am I blind or did you not show what ring that was.
probably p nagel
Your pronunciation of almost every item and mob is wrong......
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Like... Andy's name is LITERALLY pronounced in multiple parts of the game.
The monarch one really gets me. Its monarch as in king and queen. How do you fuck that up?
'Andriel', haha.
I am one for mispronunciation so I can't judge, but he did get a laugh from me there.
Interesting tip on Mephisto none the less.
LOL, I scrolled the comments after the monarch and arachnids mesh fails
lol anni-hill-loose....you crack me up. its properly pronounced a-NY-Hill-us
why players 1? do you find better drops overall from the faster runs on players 1 or from the way better drops on players 8 but takes longer..?
I just recently watch all Diablo 2 videos, especially your videos dedicated for the socceress build and how to easily magic find. But now I have another concern regarding my personal stash because I only have limited space and I just wanted to know if you can teach us, especially me how to expand your personal stash, since I'm a newbie in the game so I don't have any knowledge about this.
Ok so when something drops that you want how do you pick it up with your inventory full?
What is the music in the background named?
Awesome videos I been plan Diablo 2 of and on for about 15 years I haven't played it in about 6 years I'm about to play it Again on Wednesday when it comes in the mail do you have any tips or advice for starting out and did the latter just restart?
that guitar at the end... oh yeah
Why not spend a skill point in static field? Too risky in terms of health?
anyone who is veteran of d2 knows that anything over 300-400 is a waste
nice try though
Perhaps use a Cube in your inventory to pick stuff up?
Isnt Alibaba (Ist) or Gull (Ist) way cheaper choice?
I like my MF Barb with "Find Item" skill. You can double up on treasure that way by "horking" up extra loot. It's like killing them twice. You can also go on magic finding teams where one guy does all the killing, and the other collects the treasure.
how long have you been playin this game?? the mispronunciations....
984% MF but still a lot. I figured 1,041% MF was the max you could acquire with no anni or torch and perf items (50% ammy, another 40% ring, 4 more 7mfsc's). MF has diminishing returns though, so the more you have the less it has an effect. 350-500 is usually a good amount of MF for practical purposes.
I remember my MF Sorc.... ethereal Skullders, perfect Nagelrings, full of MF charms, etc.... it was a beauty
You should pick up the rare armors and weps.
They could be 200ed self rep armors and the weapons could be cruel or fools.
Tyreal talks to the 1,000%MF character, Tyreal says. "we have not seen this for over several centuries"... 1,000%MF character soon leaves after the conversation with a Tyreal's Might
It's actually much more efficient to max mastery and neglect one of the ice projectile skills, your damage will be much higher off screen with the increased pierce.
I've honestly had more luck magic finding with my 31% mf frenzy barb than i've had with my 300 mf hammerdin
more magic find =more BLUE items
...i wonder if i can play it on an 4k uhd monitor....used to play it alot....
Annih-hillouse
I just about died!!
Why don't you do Nihlathac with her? Should be quite easy with the range the sorc has and he has level 95...
Did u not pickup the chaos armor rare?
If ur lucky it can be eth, selfrep high ed 2sox. Then its worth like 10k Hrs
Shimmering Small Charm of Good Luck
the best number for MF is around 250-300%, more than that will increase the drop rates of magic itens and the uniques will get a minor boost. What I'm saying is that you'll be loosing unique itens because of the drop of the magic itens
i found steelrends in mausoleum by blood raven. both crypts are lv 85 monsters.
What is a good website for cube recipes?

You know about diminishing returns right ?
26 of november new ladder season? is it true?
how about the old maphack ?
Do a video about surviving hardcore.
would be cool to see a compilation of neat drops
Is 1000% the highest % we can achieve? Or can it go higher? :)
his pronounciation of the words is fucking hilarious
@4:50 you tp back to town yet, your inventory is full. hmmmmmmmm..... Also, I find it pointless to have a set of gear to teleport to a boss and then go to stash to swap out to mf gear.
He most likely had town portals in his belt, which is being blocked by his webcam.
ah, true. Almost forgot you could do that. Just never did because of tomes.
You got it.
Yeah but, TP...
ann-dree-ehl (Andariel), vice-sage (Visage), anni-he-loose (Annihilus)
roflmao that pronunciation though
yeah who is Andriel :D
Hy Xtimus
How do you run Diablo 2 on Win 10 ?
Any guidance
Marijan Desin I'm going to make a video on this but make an account on battle.net and you can download The Diablo 2 client. You don't need the discs anymore. If you have the cdkey numbers that are on the jewel case you can use those to access the game. If not you can buy Diablo 2 and lod $10 each I think.
My experience with 960% was that my drops were extremely bad...The best amount for me after a decade or more of playing was around 450.
What about amazon ?
How come this build is better then the lightning sorc build?
you can just make 700mf sorce and actually be able to tele port and have room if item drops
i use Crescent moon with my infinity merc and 2 5/5 light facets, so i do -130% light res, so i can kill any light immune monster pack, and my merc finishes off the boss. i can even kill light immune/physical immune boss, takes a little long, but i can do it.
my merc uses Dream helm e bugged, ebugged ornate plate Dragon and a eth cv infinity.
soon im going to put a eth skuders upped on merc, but dragon is nice for that little bit of extra damage and hydra's are cool
So... like... how do you loot anything?
You said your merc dies a lot. No Sorc, or any other character for that matter, with a teleport (Enigma) -- should not be dying "all the time".
TIP: a lot of people don't know...but every time you teleport your merc comes with you. So, yes, he will die, if you don't move around and expect him to tank. Teleport away to 1.) avoid damage, and 2.) heal him with a pot if necessary.
TIP #2: Killing Andarial near pillars causes her to bug out sometimes and drop items on a spot of the map where they cannot be picked up. Try to kill her in the open.
Running Andy and Meph is almost pointless though since you cant find alot of the good items. Try running Ancient tunnels and other level 85 areas. And static field might help a little when killing bosses.
My favourite is just like your switch, and then full normal gear :> Don't need anything but that switch for magic find as sorceress, unless you we're for some reason gonna do maybe pindleskin or similar harder area's. Btw -nofixspect on your shortcut will help :)
Nice triple drop! i used to do travruns with dual ist swords with leap barb and have the merc kill them for extra mf. alot of fun to pop the corpses!
Hey I noticed Andariel didn't drop anything. You should consider quest bugging her. This way she's guaranteed good drops!
Man reason why I loved Diablo II.... It wasn't overly complicated and didn't need to have modifiers of +4000% to bash +5000% to rend in order to do damage. Diablo III is just overly complicated and seeing all the stats on the inventory page made me feel like the game is a chore than having fun. I like hack n slash action RPG's. I don't like the game turning into an RTS. I miss a game that felt it was secure but yet broken in a way that made you feel you are doing something that you are not suppose to but was allowed. I miss it.
I loved my travi barb best drop I ever had was probably a 20life 17mana sc
missing those times QQ
You got an account on battlenet east?
Yes add me! Account name is Xtimus
That An-ee-hill-oos doe...
Take your time speaking! Great video too
i know for some this is kindof a myth and they just won't believe it, but the numbers shows that passed about 650-700 MF you actually "lose" MF. For instance if you have let say 1 in 200 chances of dropping a said item with 650MF, at 1000MF you would probably have something like 1 in 205-210 chances. It's not much, but still.
So what? All the numbers here dropcalc.silospen.com/item.php are fake numbers? Because to me those are the real numbers.
*****
Plus, and of course this is just me, I could've been unlucky, but in Singleplayer with Plugy I'm trying to get every unique/set items in the game, so when I have nothing to do I do a couple of MF runs with a hacked necro. The thing is, at first I had over 2k MF, then 1.1k MF and now I dropped it to 650MF, and everytime I've seen an increase in my unique/set drop rate.
This calculator shows numbers that corresponds to the theory of "check quality in order". Let's look at the chances that Pindle will drop CoA
300 mf = 1 : 25272
400 mf = 1 : 23574
1000 mf = 1 : 19880
It shows that higher mf give you higher chances to get unique Corona = CoA and that there is no "optimal" mf.
Here is the chances that Meph will drop unique Shako
300 mf = 1 : 771
400 mf = 1 : 719
1000 mf = 1:606
And also as you can see to really test different mfs you have to do like 100k runs with different mf numbers :D And not like a couple
DarkLeviathan8 how can it go down that's the myth in itself the only difference is the diminishing returns get shorter an that is usually due to kill times an being able to mf quickly.
Lmao I cant tell if you're mispronouncing every word wrong on purpose or if that's just how you talk. Either way I love it.
I find it charming.
I find YOU charming
Well i mean he has an inventory full of charms ;D
ANDRIEL
Guys he said that he's got a speech impediment, there's no reason to be assholes.
Insight over Infinity?
why not unlock the items for us???
Back when finding a unique on diablo was a fucking celebration. Now they just hand it to ya.
I came to this video randomly ... and I was shocked while watching it... had to check the upload date a few times. Do You really play this game with the same zeal as quite a few years ago ?
Piotr Dąbrowski same zeal? What do you mean?
Xtimus Sorry, english isn't my first language and I don't know the proper word. Like, do You enjoy playing D2 same as a few years ago? For me it's like finished episode which I've enjoyed much. Hard believe someone is still playing it so hard.
Thousands still play it. Thousands till play NES. :)
Just pointing it out that your use of the word zeal was actually correct.
while it does have a diehard fanbase still that cant move on because its so ground into their DNA and they think d3 sucks.. it much like its couterpart starcraft broodwar are basically graveyards.. theres not THAT many people playing anymore.. maybe hundreds
suscrito! buen contenido de nostalgia xD
Yo xtimus you played D1 anytime?
The best spot for magic find in Diablo2 is - Snapchip skatter in Act 5 he dropps everything if you have like MF 700
how did you find all this?
you have crazy stuff dude
400-500 is plenty. I've heard that killing speed affects drops so I always remained powerful and kept 500 mf or so.
You gotta have ur "Anna Haloose" unique small charm, obviously.
4:05 It's an unique ring, bruh.
Is this the official game? Also, are you playing online or offline?
4:54 top left corner
AldiePezeh Thanks
AldiePezeh Does not answer if this is the official game. There are private servers.....
Great info man thanks!
u can get a blue circlet with MF and 3 soc's in it instead of shako it gives u a lil more but u lose all that good shako stuff. my cousin did this build in i think 2010? he couldnt find the circlet in perfect form thoo, it was 2 mf off perfect if i remember. still dont know if anyone has found one
You have used tp scroll, when you have none. 4:49
Good catch, but one can use TPs from their belt, like scrolls
scrolls are in belt.
True
Haven't played for 10ish years, but I can see that this is wrong on so many lvls.
glaschial spike ?
I always open every chest in this place and use the weapon/armour racks. Found a damn Skullder's Ire and another crazy thing
Also, apparently such high MF isn't really required... Somewhere around the 400-600 mark is enough, you just gotta keep rinsing and repeating :-/
for andy you covered the part where the loot drops thats why you got less
i love you i hope you can bring back d2
Cool video but 1000% really isn't necessary, around 450-500% on a Hammerdin will not only allow you to go through ANY area but ANY area really quickly.
I believe after around 500-600% the drop rate on items depreciates a lot and really isn't worth it.
Trying to get top 10 of the rarest items?
Sorc and summoning necro for MF, I never play them with other gear than MF.
