Change your character, use other characters to farm, stack around 300%MF, play on /p8... and be patient.

Everything comes to you at the right moment :D

Then try to level another char and use him/her to farm to see the difference.

Btw, where are your main farming spots? Try D-TA, Cows, Duncraig, Nihlathak temple... Kill D-Baal, he has a chance to drop 3 SUs.

afaik, MF has diminishing returns, so going over 300%MF is worthless. It's good that your merc also has %mf but don't use greed potions if u've already equipped yourself with enough %mf.

d tA and nith chamber char is a great farmer like i said it seems to work now something about deleteing and making all the maX files and the map file regenerate seems to have fixed whatever random bug i was stuck in

Even numbers for players option are not useful if you want to reduce nodrop chance, p7 actually equal to p8.

It's not worthless to stack as much %MF as possible unless it affects your killspeed.

As you can see, effective MF is not saturated at 300% total MF even for uniques.

This is true. I normally play on p7 (in SP ofc).

Just my 2 cents :D Personally, I find that 300% is good for most builds to farm effectively.
If SP players play on p7/8, and want to stack as much %MF as possible, then killspeed will definitely suffer.

players settings also has diminishing returns so it's probably best to stay at p3 and kill stuff faster

A bunch of good crafted jewels with %MF modifier definitely won't hurt your killspeed. To be honest 300% from equipment and 250% from the elixirs is good enough for me too, I'm just saying it's not necessary to stop there.


Edit:

There is a two different nodrop parameters in MXL: one is affected by players command (and real players count) while another is not, so it's not only about diminishing returns. For that reason players is not as good as it used in Vanilla.

Well, you should never farm on /players 8 because the amount of items that drops only increases with ever 2nd unpartied player in the game. If you‘re in a party you do get more items on players 8, but if you‘re alone, always farm at /players 7
