STARTING THINGS ON DIABLO2

How much magic find i should use? Should i kill every monster or focusing on uniques/champions? Where to farm?

Those are the most common questions for new players on this post i will try awser it. A shoutout to the streamer @cerdace1 for motivating me to make this post.

Magic find

On diablo 2 we have a lot of magic find breakpoints, i will put only the mostly important ones in my opinion.

OBS: You need priorize killspeed over mf

167 magic find is 100% more chances toward uniques.

250 magic find is 125% more chances toward uniques.

375 magic find is 150% more chances toward uniques.

584 magic find is 175% more chances toward uniques.

1000 magic find is 200% more chances toward uniques.

All the magic find breakpoints can be found here on reddit

White monsters can drop up to 1 magic item. (chances do alma negra 167mf,p1, 1/2.163.428)

Champions can drop up to 1 magic item. (chances do alma negra 167mf,p1, 1/127.905)

Unique monsters will always drop you 1 magic item. (chances do alma negra 167mf,p1, 1/50.373)

Superunique monsters will always drop you 2 magic itens. (chances do alma negra 167mf,p1, 1/127.361)

Bosses will drop up to 6 magic itens.(chances do alma negra 167mf,p1, 1/1.407)

OBS: Minions are considered white monsters but with higher treasure class.

You can check the odds for dropping something here on silospen.

Here you can check the treasure class of an item. The qlvl of an item determines what area level you need to drop it. Example: Mangs Song Lesson is a qlvl 86. So you can drop it on area levels 83 +.

OBS: Champions are +2 and uniques +3 on the original area level. Example: Cow level is 81. Champions are 83 and uniques 84.

No drop odds

All kind of monsters on this game have a Nodrop chances. On single players you can change the number of players typing the command /players. So the higher players counts the minus nodrop chances.

On players1 is 62.5%

On players3 is 38.8%

Players5 is 24.1%

Players7 is 14.3%

OBS Espcial monsters like ghosts and bosses have different nodrop odds. Ghosts have more nodrop odds and bosses lower ones.

Where to farm?

Most commons areas to magic find are the area level 85.

Mausoleum, Pits, Ancients tunnels, River of Flame, Chaos, Worldstone 1,2,3 and the Throne of destruction.

Uncommon areas to farm (sometimes is good making a magic find routes)

Crypt AL 83 (when doing mausoleum), Maggot Lair AL 84 (last level is AL85), Durance of hate 1,2,3 AL 83(good place but hard because of the dolls), City of Damned AL84 and Plains of despair AL83(be carefull with the souls), Frozen river AL83 (this is where you rescue Anya, good place but very hard place because of the sucubus and souls), Glacial trail AL83 and Driftern Cavern AL84. Nihlathak's Temple AL83, Halls of Anguish AL83, Halls of Pain AL83 and Halls of Vaught AL83.
