Magicfinder. Is it Useful or Useless?

[nether]

I wish it was like DDO where you get your twenty raid completions and then your choice of said items

I'm skeptical now on whether its worth it or not since there's no real way to tell for sure. For allwe know MF could be a placebo out to troll us

[Sarumar]

MF helps, you can see it in highscore board. Those players who have some level in MF have more L&E items than players without that skill.

... you can forgot my collection... I grind more than typical player

I got My RolS

1393 rocks and MF 2 - so it seems it does help. I was really shocked when it dropped, was beginning to think they really are legendary

Congrats, it is really good (and confusing) feeling when you finally get one.

Got another one, 325 rocks this time, MF still +2.

On my newer game (which is relative since he's now at level 97), I just went with level 2 for Magic Finder (compared to level 10 on my first build), and it already seemed to help.

Soon after using my skill point on level 2, I got the SRoV, after already getting 2 VSH. And I got a RoLS after around 400 small rocks, and that includes when I tried to grind for it without any magic finder, and this was after just a few hours of game play. I was able to get 2 VSH, 1 ChaR, and 1 ShaF without any MF, but it seemed to help for the SRoV and definitely for the RoLS.

Got to agree, I didn't realize how much it helped (+2 MF) until I made a new character, He has no MF and has been imprisoned In the Gargoyle Cavern for an eternity (I'm not letting him out till he gets a RoLS )

Heh, I'm still holding out... would rather not put points into MF since I only want a single RoLs and that's it (I don't plan on grinding for any other leg/ext items). However, I did grow bored of the gargoyle caves and left to clear the Prim/BWM area and now that that's finished I'm off to the Iquan caves for a bit. I'll eventually go back to the gargoyle caves but I think by that point I'll switch to the save/reload tactic rather than wasting time trying to lvl in there. And yes, while I think MF is probably worth getting for most people, since I only want one item I'll probably just do without so I can put skill points into other things.

I've got a saved game, lvl 18, no quests done, nearly all equipment sold and profits drunk (potions) and starts at home. He starts with the normal stuff: cloth shirt, club, mikhails ring + a RoLS (heh, heh). Oh, and only two skill points spent (Fortitude 1, Regen 1). I now have a starting point for different types of build without having to do the RoLS grinding (woo hoo).

My guy without one is a test guy for v0.6.12, so not really bothered about him.

No, Mikhail...

You can keep your ring.
