I've gotten mine to 200% over the years from just salvaging various things that drop in the overworld. Doing so is extremely slow especially since you need more and more luck to increase MF by 1 point as you go higher and higher. Since you can easily use a birthday booster and food items like the omnomberry bar to boost to 340% when MF is at 200%, I'm just going to slow grind my way to max 300%. I realize that with multiple different boosters can push you up to the absolute max cap to 750%, but because magic find isn't useful when it comes to most containers and meta events in the game, I don't find it worth the hassle to try and instantly max it. Good guide for those who need a boost to their magic find immediately. It does help if you're farming enemy drops. Personally, I find salvaging ectos better if you need the luck drops for the Gift of Research for either the Generation 3 Legendary Weapons or the upcoming Obsidian Armor, since ecto salvaging gives you so much luck.

Ya it takes forever to just let it happen naturally. At least some can have the method if they so want to max it out. I definitely am planning on making a video concerning what can be used with luck probably around the New Years event since luck is used with that.

[@maqseedal-maqseed3196]

love your videos , always useful and helps new players like me , ✌️

[@CatDadThings]

Thanks! I’m glad you like them 😃

[@wiziek]

Magic Find affect so little it is most resonable to do it in passive way I think and to do the point, maybe around 200 %?

[@CatDadThings]

Ya there’s a reason why I haven’t maxed mine yet. Firstly there’s too much other stuff I wanna buy 😅 but I’m not sure how worth it is outright maxing the luck find. I wish we had more things that were crystal clear what we can use it for. New players usually have no idea how it works.

[@CritiasBG]

It affects a bit more than a little. My 305% afk farming necro bring a lot more gold than my 100% mf one's

[@giveli101]

thanks for the tip, if i time the market right ill pay practically nothing

[@Alejandro-dm7ve]

Please elaborate

2:30 that moment where even watching you are sweating. 1:18 honorable mention

[@CatDadThings]

Im not even gonna lie. I was sweating a little 😂 it’s a video but I’m spending my precious doubloons 😳

[@pcwarduke2055]

Need luck for starting new leg set.

[@CatDadThings]

I’m waiting for the New Year event to make a video on usage of luck. I was thinking of showing all the ways luck can be used. I’ll refer to this video if people need a way to gain extra luck.

[@duckyorwell9416]

eh, but you only have 21% its getting really hard to get 1% up when you have a higher magic find, that makes it so much more costly, at least it feels like I need much more luck now for 1% up, I play 1,7 years now or so but i got 231%

[@CatDadThings]

Ah I see what happened. The % sign is covering a 1 lol I have 211. If you look at 4:33 it shows my cursor hovering the MF. I have 204 from luck and 7 from achievements

[@jonatansan01]

He's at 211%

[@ianashmore9910]

Or... don't. Because magic find is nearly pointless in this game.

[@CatDadThings]

One can only hope eventually Anet decides to make better use of it 🤷‍♂️

[@CritiasBG]

It affects mob drops which is good enough. My 305% MF afk farming necro bring a lot more gold than my 100% MF necros

[@haridiam915]

If you're going to make an entire video guide, then at least research which salvage kit to use? ALso 60 gold for 1% magic find will take you years to recoup the cost that one percent is gonna give you. Total clickbait.

[@CatDadThings]

Ya this is a bad take. I’m not advocating for or against magic find or if it’s even worth it. I simply have provided a fast way of doing it if a person so chooses to do so. It’s only a method showcase. You missed the point of the video friend. If I was going to advocate for the reason to get magic find, I would say something like: (This is why you should max your magic find)

[@s1ocky]

I'm not arguing that you should be salvaging ecto to boost your luck percentage, but he did buy/sell instant and still only spent 12 gold. If put in buy/sell orders he probably could have done that for less than 10 gold... not 60.

[@freddykoehlmann9931]

In the video they mention you can sell stuff back to recoup most of the gold. And if instead of instant buys and sells you use the first price in buy and sell orders then you only net -50silver... so it costs basically nothing if you are patient

[@z3al0t30]

Actually I am salvaging a stack of Ectoplasm through buy order for 57g total, then selling 59-62g on average of the crystalline dust (I am getting around a stack + 160-190 crystalline dust per 250 ecto) so contrary to your comment I am making profit, or at worst I sometimes lose 1-2g because the tax.
