[@lqgash9077]

Hey bro, nice vid again. However, around 11:00 min, when you talk about qlvl and ilvl you made a small mistake. Qlvl and Ilvl are very different things and affect the item roll mechanics. Qlvl is a hidden stat and is not equal to ilvl. Qlvl actually doesn't have anything to do with Uniques, becuase their mods are predetermined and can only range within the already predetermined mods. However - Qlvl has an enormous impact on Rares, Magic and Crafts.The ilvl, in conjunction with the Quality Level (qlvl), also limits which affixes can appear on the item, (It's what stops you from getting a Godly Quilted Armor of the Whale in the Blood Moor on Normal, for example,) as well as the maximum number of sockets an item can spawn with. For example - Qlvl is the most important stat for crafting Godly blood gloves. So when you mentioned Templar's Might has an Ilvl of 82 or quality lvl 82 - that's not actually true - Qlvl could be higher or lower and it matches the Sacred armor class quality level. But otherwise, great advice - I actually think the best content for MF is maps becuase of the high area levels - so best go for a fast mapper and don't care about MF gear - anything above 200 is overkill. Density + high monster /area level - more drops and more chance for unique drops.

My God you are the real MVP. I played diablo 1 from release up to d3 and now pd2 and this is the best breakdown I've ever seen of the mechanics of mfing. It's hard to explain some of of these things to people without the physical examples, and is just difficult all together, even for someone who understands it for the most part. 👏.......... 👏.............. 👏................... 👏...

I agree with ghosts dropping more runes (because they can't drop armor pieces), but as far as I know the only reason to farm cows for runes is the high density area and that they don't have any immunity, what makes cow farming efficient.

[@PoohOnYourShoe]

8 months later, and I still lose sleep not knowing what that ammy was that dropped in the map… RIP my sanity

[@simonmonty7171]

Something I'd really like to understand is are drops really better when more people are in the game? And to what extent? How exactly does this work. I'm not sure if it's just anotber pd2 glitch but some games I can find nothing and some other games I can keep on finding stuff the whole game wherever I go.

[@boragaming1839]

I can definitely answer this one! More players in the game does not make drops “better”. Each monster in the game has a “no drop chance”, or a chance to drop nothing. When there are more players in the game, the no drop chance is reduced. So said simply, there are more items dropping. Important to note that when you play solo in pd2 the no drop rate is equal to players 5 in d2 lod (though monster difficulty is still p1).

[@simonmonty7171]

Really something I am not getting tho as I am mfin like a real crazy mofo by myself and doing maps as much as I can and honestly can't find much when alone. Best rune I found this season was cham and gul and items wise I don't tend to fund the great items. I mean I've never really been a lucky person lmao..

Also, So I understand Lacquered armor isn't dropable by Mephisto because he doens't contain that treasure class, ALTHOUGH he is high enough monster level. But for monsters in the PD2 85 Zones, how do we know what treasure class they are in?

[@Adoah04]

Where can I find treasure class drop brackets for PD2? I've been looking and can't find it.

[@boragaming1839]

I'm not sure if that information is available for PD2 unfortunately. Maybe reach out to Senpai or a dev to see if they can expose that info.

[@Fipsoo]

So if I want to find Wraith Flight (ilvl 99) the monster needs to be lvl 99 or greater. Since the highest area level on hell is 85 (and thus the max. monster lvl 85+3=88), the monster must be an act boss. And since Diablo is lvl 94 on hell only Baal on hell can drop Wraith Flight?!

[@KillerKalebTV]

What does a HoBL go for rn with decent rolls on it? Because I need one really bad for my HB pala.

[@boragaming1839]

Not sure brother just check the trade site :)

[@MatiKosa]

I thought that the highest TC is 87. TC90 was present in some earlier patches. Even if you check the TreasureClass file from v1.13, you do have "weap87", but you don't have "weap90": github.com/fabd/diablo2/blob/master/code/d2_113_data/TreasureClassEx.txt Basically, if monster lvl is at least 87 (so pretty much T2 maps, which are area lvl=88), he has a chance to drop every item in the game. Yes, even a regular has a chance to drop Tyrael's, because: a) he drops from TC87; b) he fullfils the condition of monster lvl>=87 (because Tyrael is qlvl=87). You might think this is an exaggeration, because with 200% MF, a chance that a regular/minion will drop Crown of Ages is 1 : 1,187,658. But imagine this: you kill 2500, even 3000 monsters per map. Then you do 100 maps. It's already 300,000 monsters. Technically you can't divide 1,187,658 by 300,000 (you should do it like this: a chance that CoA will NOT drop after 300k monsters: = (1187657/1187658)^300,000 = 0.77678 This is the chance, that after killing 300k monsters you will NOT get the CoA. Time to do 1-x. = 1 - 0.77678 = 0.2232 = you have 22.32% chance to drop at least one CoA after killing 300k regular monsters with 200% MF. Not bad, right? You don't have that chance running Pits, Ancient Tunnels, etc. (besides minions, which have monster lvl of 88, but there aren't many of them). Tip: you can do it the simple way and just simply divide the chance by the number of times you are going to kill that monster. It's not a fully correct approach, but the number will be super close. = 1187658 : 300000 ~~ 3.95886 = you have 1 in 3.95886 chance ~~ 25.26% (here it's around 3 percentage point difference, because of a huge 300k sample, normally there won't be more than 0.2-0.5 p.p.). Good approximation. Ah, almost forgot. I found CoA in season 1 in tier 2 map. From a regular :)

Yea sorry about that I had some old info but the mechanics remain the same in general. Thanks for your well written post.

You can definitely do the cow map (blood moon), OR just run the cow level. It's area level is 81 and has an overall great loot table. And as noted, cows have a higher chance of dropping runes than other units.

Probably the loot filter they are using. With loot filters you can increase the size of pick-up boxes and it makes it extremely hard to NOT pick it up. The loot filter I use makes runes like 1/10th of your entire screen lol.

So, if Tier 3 maps are 88ilvl, does that mean the highest charm you can get is from super uniques, and they will not be greater than +3(91) ? A bit of a bummer, dont you need 92+ ilvl charms to roll skillers with 45life?

Couple options, but this would be the most thorough: classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/ There are some changes in pd2, but this is what I would call "directionally accurate". They did increase some alvls to 85, so mlvls in the link above wouldn't be accurate for those areas. Beyond that, Act boss mlvls have not changed.

[@Adoah04]

@@boragaming1839 I see, thanks. What about the website that's used for understanding which items drop from what level mobs?

[@Mazeingpower]

One thing to note is that the graph is set for players 1. Good vid though keep up the great content

[@boragaming1839]

This is a noteworthy call out, but additional players does not change how MF works. Additional players DECREASES the “no drop rate”, or the chance that a monster drops nothing. For anyone who reads this comment and for additional context, pd2 solo play maintains monster strength of players1, but has the “no drop rate” of players 5, so your chance of finding ITEMS is greater. But to reiterate, it does not change the mechanics of Magic find. Magic find is calculated ONLY after no drop chance = false.
