Worth it to stack a little MF for Sarkoth?

[john88]

So I'm trying something new. I had 270% GF and 40+ pickup radius for core runs. PR required for Sarkoth is minimal, so now I only have 19. Replaced to the point I have 280% GF + 107% MF. You guys think it's worth it? Maybe it raises my chances of finding legendaries/ better rares? That I can sell in GAH/ RMAH to offset the potential GPH loss?

I've had the worst luck with legendaries, finding only 2 crappy ones so far (1 in a vase, 1 in a cloud). I setup core for my bro the other day, and he already found 2 in core + many others playing by hand.

What do you guys think?

I'm going to test it for 10 hours, and if I don't have something worth selling, bye bye MF lol.

I've been doing Sarkoth with 302% MF and 0% GF for about 2-3 days.

Think i have completed between 4-5k runs. No legendaries, no set items.
Nothing good or worth selling. So im going over to GF gear.

Good info, thanks.. I considered going MF gear as well, have been doing GF though. Guess I won't bother changing.

MF is very nice, and you should pick it up if you see it on a piece with some gold find as well, but I just can't see myself stacking magic find at the moment. I've picked up a set piece, over 4 legendaries with only 16% magic find. Some people like the above poster has 302 and a few days without any bites at all.

RNG will be RNG sadly. The only "set in stone" stat is gold find for now. (IMHO)

Also, I do believe magic finds value should go up in patch 1.03 when A1 has the ability to drop ilvl 63 items as well.

on the otherhand i ran him for about 8hrs with my magic find set and got 2 legendarys and a set item so it depends.

Ive been only MFing him (216%, wearing normal weapon/offhand/runspeed boots, Blade of Prophecy on my Enchantress) and Ive found 5 legendaries in 2 or 3 days. Unfortunately all been bad weapons so far, although I sold a Sledge of Asthhjhjghr for 170k.

This is with the bot being rather unreliable for me too btw (seems better now that someone discovered dying can make it play up, pretty keen to see what its like now).

250+ gf and 10 mf, I've found 2 legendarys in the last two days.

I've run my autoit sarkoth with 30% MF and 250% GF, gotten 2 legendaries over night, and day later got another 1.. so it's iffy. Still prefer having the gold for now, the legendaries I got from sarkoth got for like 5$ on AH and suck ass
