Cow king boots are pretty nice. 30% faster run/walk, 20 dex and 25 magic find. Splendor runeword shield has 20% magic find, +1 skills and some FCR. Tancred set boots+Amulet bonuses give 30% faster run/walk and 78% magic find. Tancred's may be the most overlooked 2 piece budget magic find pieces in the game.
When i find the Occuus early in the Season, i usually put Tir rune in it to make it nasty 8 mana after each kill, on top Mesh boots :P You can use different set-up for Merc(not insight) this way. And about the Unique Dagger - usually i use this weapon when i am farming Nightmare to optimize better chance. Its perfect for Necro, Holy - Fire Paladin too.. To farm low lvl zones wit 2x Rings + Amulet + Armor angelic(100 better), Weapon - Dagger(100 better), Gloves+Boots+Belt (Sigon - 50 better) and Unique Skill Cap (50 better) 300 better combo on most heroes - it works )
Man i appreciate so much that your still making d2 videos. I got tired of d4 and went back to d2 and having a blast. So glad to see my favorite youtubers still making d2 content. How can I donate to you bro?
For the helm and exclusively for the pitzerker: arreat's helm. In the shield slot, not long after ladder reset: milabrega's orb shield. Back in the day, we were doing gull dagger+milabrega on swap, before the runewords 😜
yea its sad.... but D2 content does not seem to perform much better. And It is not just Phil. I checked Llama's channel and even he has much lower numbers than he used to have. I think Diablo hype simply dropped of after D2:R release. And remaining people got split into those who follow D4 and those who want D2:R content and don't watch D4 content (like me). On top of that big fish like Asmongold started streaming D4 so of course many people watch his videos/streams instead.
I use weapon and shield full of Ist on my sorcs, but offhand. Main weapons are Hoto and Spirit, rushing bosses with blizzard or Hydras, and I swap weapon when they're about to die, +280 MF on boss kills, for a total of 700 MF with the rest of the gear.
Wisp is a great option over Nagel for lighting absorb..... 3 pc tal set sorc is easy 450+ mf sorc.. crafted gloves can be even more gg with tri res, crushing blow, life leach n 2 20 amazon or martial arts plus the mf.. also need to specify kill speed for solo or number of players
Wealth is great for javazons running cows early in the ladder. MPK is really helpful + mf + gold find for gamble + the dexterity helps too, I combine this with rhyme in shield and gg.
What several others said: Tal's belt has 14MF built-in. Also, do not forget Splendor (Eth Lum, shield), for which you give up CBF and 25 all-res for 1 Skill and 10 FCR compared to Rhyme. My Season 2 necro found a Gull for his first unique and never looked back --most of the game he used a skull with Attract and Golem Mastery socketed to Splendor, until he found a Homonculus (which he socketed with Ist). Just remember the discussion over in South American Pack Animal's channel about diminishing marginal returns viz. uniques. I quit using the Gull outside of terror zones in favor of HotO because I could clear large areas faster (FCR, Teleport).
Just had a Gull Dagger drop for a new Zealot Paladin and it worked great for awhile. Still used it on swap in NM and was getting some decent stuff. It's really only useful up to a point, of course. I don't enjoy using gear off other characters, so this was the first time I ever even bothered with a Gull Dagger since they suck as a weapon so badly, but early on they're decent.
I use Gull on a Poison Dagger Necro when I'm farming Normal difficulty, and it helped me through much of Nightmare. Since I found Wizardspike, I had to switch to that in Hell due to its resistance boosts.
Hey Phil - I run a physical multishot bowazon for MF'ing and I use Wealth as it helps with Dex + mana per kill... i would much rather use this than a 4 socket armour with PTopaz.
If I am specifically mf'ing. I will usually have a gull or ali baba (ist'd of course) as the weapon swap. For Bosses a quick weapon switch just before the monster is killed can you can get some extra mf.
FoH-dins is the mosty lazy thing :P You put this Griswold Armor and Unique Skull Cap.... + other items tooo.. You are just fine with 2x spirits :) come on.
@@goshu7009 nah he's got HOTO and a 45 all res ST spirit base shako vipermagi until I get a ber for enigma CTA and spirit on switch arachs soj and ravenfrost and crafted pally ammy. I know it's a lazy build and with a child wife and 2 dogs as a filthy casual player I like the ability to lazily play in case my attention is needed elsewhere.
A high mf roll on an ik helm with 2 topaz for upper 80s mf, pair with ik boots which get mf set bonus (25 iirc). With 110 mf from helm and boots, it gives the barb a way to boost mf much cheaper than a decent set of travs would cost.
All this magic finding is complete overkill. A lot of people don’t understand that magic find literally means to find a magic quality item not a rare, not a set, not a unique as those have their own separate values.
It affects all qualities. It scales linearly for magic items(so you do see a lot more blues), but tails off for rares and above. Nonetheless it does improve your chances for all kinds.
double isted alibaba is my go to secondary hand on switch when i wanna mf hard. but usually i'll just settle for 250-300 mf with my main gear and have a cta on switch for that extra 30% mf by the time you are rich enough to put 6 ists into a sword you really don't need to magic find that crazy anymore.
Is it worth wearing mf gear now that we have "the gloam ritual" that gives us like 14k mf ? I like the idea of being a mf junky and I saw that there can be 25 mf on craft and rare rings or I'm thinking of jewel. The craft ones probably are easy to make as they are a low lvl afexs.
isted head hunters glory would probably be the "best" mf shield i could think of if i were that desperate for mf... life after kill, dual res a decent chance to block and massive def
This video makes me sad. 6 isted weapon listed before a 2 ist baba and milibrega? This is a video about mfing when you have ALREADY mfed to supreme riches.
Does anyone know if you can buy runes single player from a online website? I'm so tired of looking for a Jah, 20 years in the making, millions of games and I just can't find one I'm done waiting
12:55 not even worth checking how much exactly gs can roll on mf, everything is better on sc's , gc's are good only because they can roll skill trees, for literally anything else 3sc's are better.
A nice budget option: Tancred's boots+amulet grants 78mf
This was one of my fave's
Sweetphil is back to making D2 content? HELL YES, BABY!!!

D4 brought me back to D2R again - this video is perfectly on time for me
3 piece tals is one of the better mf setups imo. Belt has mf inherent.
I think it was worth an include

Good call. The IK set helm has big MF too if I remember rightly, and two sockets. Although it's otherwise pretty crap.
Tals 3 pice set is pretty good early for sorc.
For shield options, you can always stick 4 Ist runes into a 4-socketed Monarch or a pally shield with res on it.
Stealskull Casque is a 48MF helm. No plus skills like Shako, but still solid for a character needing attack speed/life and mana steal.
Good call! I love that thing.
Could be important to note that your mercenaries MF is added to yours if they get the killing blow 🤔
Sorry your d4 videos didn't perform better but glad to see you make d2 videos again, thanks for the new one.

Can't think of anything you missed. You nailed it.

tal belt can have 10-15 :) 14 is so ugly xD i would never run it. brings bad luck

There's some good budget set bonus.. ik boots, sigons boots, vidalas boots and amulet, tancreds boots and amulet
Another one is 2 piece najs set
You forgot the an important one: Magic Circlet/Diadem/Tiara with +3 Skills, +85mf (2 open sockets with 2 ist, 35mf base)
I use Gull on a Poison Dagger Necro when I'm farming Normal difficulty, and it helped me through much of Nightmare. Since I found Wizardspike, I had to switch to that in Hell due to its resistance boosts.
Regarding shields, poss stormshield+topaz or mosers+2 topaz for HC. For SC you could also do headhunters+3 topaz.
I don't think topazes give MF in shields, but light res. Ist runes might work.
Love your videos Phil, always my go-to for anything D2R 🙌🙌
The only other belt with MF the one from Tal's set.
Wealth is my favorite goldfind armor before you get enigma
Barb trav hoarker to be clear*
Mine too (trav horker/gold find barb) and my blizz sorc both use wealth. Whenever I find a skullders I'll change that out for my sorc.
Hey Phil - I run a physical multishot bowazon for MF'ing and I use Wealth as it helps with Dex + mana per kill... i would much rather use this than a 4 socket armour with PTopaz.
Perfect topaz Moser's is a nice replacement for the rhyme shield
You would have to use Ist runes, because a topaz in a shield will give you lightning res instead of mf
@@hankg4464 you're right, my bad. I pulled a Sweet Phil move haha
If I am specifically mf'ing. I will usually have a gull or ali baba (ist'd of course) as the weapon swap. For Bosses a quick weapon switch just before the monster is killed can you can get some extra mf.
still having fun with D4 but I may have to get back on D2R before D4S1 goes live
Playing as FoH pal and get amulet +3 to combat skills and +29% mf from gambling. Love it
wew back to d2!! still best arpg ever
"all from memory" *looking at notes* "okay, lets start."
I love using my FoHdin for MF only downside is I'm one ber rune short of his build being complete. SSF offline is a struggle for runes for me.
FoH-dins is the mosty lazy thing :P
You put this Griswold Armor and Unique Skull Cap.... + other items tooo.. You are just fine with 2x spirits :) come on.

@@TaykalooCat Sure :) I also do similar thing :)
Thanks Phil, D2R has about 80% of my playtime - D IV about 20% and sinking I just love my Old School Slayin I guess with da Boyz! !

Splendor shield for casters before they can get spirit is also really good, +1 skills, fcr, and mf
But this shield shines for Necros, when you get good Mojo )
@goshu7009 I'm still searching a +3 bone spear one XD
They should have brought the magic find stat back in D4. This game has so much more depth
Since I started playing HC I've found 2 Ber & 1 Jah, but still no shako.
Early on i tend to use gull dagger / Ali baba with Milibraga’s shield (20 mf) on switch.
I'm using Skullder’s Ire for my armour because i can't find the runes.
Set bonuses with MF tancreds and naj both 2 pcs and tals 3 pc all worthy of mention
When the length of the vid is l337 you know it's gonna be good..
i found a wand for a mage that is p;lus two to skils plus other stuff
I'm not even a minute into the video...with that said...IM CALLIN YOU OUT, PARTNER!
Great vid. One thing I think that needs mention - perfect topaz in shako is lazy. Youre heavy into end game. Put an Ist in it, you lazy bastard!
Yo, you forgot Tal Rasha's armor bro, high res and high mf. Good mf AND survival for sorcs
High kill speed is more effective than magic find
+1 MF grand charms are a must.
All this magic finding is complete overkill. A lot of people don’t understand that magic find literally means to find a magic quality item not a rare, not a set, not a unique as those have their own separate values.

by the time you are rich enough to put 6 ists into a sword you really don't need to magic find that crazy anymore.
dang seems like everyone back on D2 already...

sorry if it was mentioned already but splendor on a shield gives MF
Shout out to all the crazy mfers out there!
isted head hunters glory would probably be the "best" mf shield i could think of if i were that desperate for mf... life after kill, dual res a decent chance to block and massive def
D4 it's d2r I See what you did there😊
Accident
occy done me dirty too many times to count in hc
for future reference, Shah-ko.
You're right, although good luck trying to convert the majority of the community 😅
I am a one crazy Mfer (:
I'm a fan but you left out details just to get comments. Shame.
Stealskull Casque is not bad for a helm. 35 mf and dual leech
love d2 :)
Sorc MFing rules
Barbarian is awesome for mf too
Video length 13:37, I see what you did there.
This video makes me sad.
6 isted weapon listed before a 2 ist baba and milibrega?
This is a video about mfing when you have ALREADY mfed to supreme riches.
Does anyone know if you can buy runes single player from a online website? I'm so tired of looking for a Jah, 20 years in the making, millions of games and I just can't find one I'm done waiting
If you mean single player, then I think you're on your own. If you mean non ladder, I won't mention any sites but there are some out there. Good luck.
boost + gloves 20 mf can be easy buy from npc even in normal
usually its usefull on single
did you just call me a mf'er Phil...:)
You find godly gear by farming player 3+ games in lvl85 areas with at least 100% or more mf.
Woooo first comment!!! Goo Ian!!
3 piece tals is nice for mf
12:55 not even worth checking how much exactly gs can roll on mf, everything is better on sc's , gc's are good only because they can roll skill trees, for literally anything else 3sc's are better.
fortuitous ring of fortune : 40 mf
Magic rings can go up to 40 mf
more d2

Clickbait title its d2r lmao 😂
Come on man
Mistake, I fixed it.
