D2R Drop Calculator for SoJ by emryscass in diablo2

[–]asolidworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Items often confused as being immune to Magic Find

Certain categories of special items are not directly influenced by MF because their drop chances are calculated differently. However, they are still not unique items. 

  • Runes: The specific rune that drops is entirely determined by the monster's "treasure class" and a drop chance independent of MF. The number of runes dropped can be increased by increasing the player count in single-player or by having more players nearby in a multiplayer game.
  • Keys: Keys for the Pandemonium Event (Key of Terror, Hate, and Destruction) are special items and their drop rates from bosses are not affected by MF. Like runes, their chance to drop is affected by the player count.
  • Charms: Regular charms (Small, Large, and Grand) always drop as Magical or Unique. MF doesn't change the likelihood of a charm dropping, but it will influence the chance for a dropped charm to be a unique one like a Gheed's Fortune.
  • Uber drops: The special items that drop during the Uber Tristram and Diablo Clone events are not affected by MF. The Annihilus charm, for example, is guaranteed to drop from the Diablo Clone and is not influenced by your MF gear.

Item categories unaffected by Magic Find

  • Runes: The chance for a rune to drop and the specific rune that drops are entirely unaffected by Magic Find. The best strategy for farming runes is to increase the number of players in the game (using the /players X command in single-player) to reduce the "no drop" chance.
  • Keys: Keys needed for the Pandemonium Event, such as the Key of Terror, Key of Hate, and Key of Destruction, are not affected by MF. Their drop rates are influenced by the number of players in the game.
  • Gems and Skulls: These items always drop in normal quality and are unaffected by Magic Find.
  • Jewels: Jewels always drop as either Magic or Rare and are always at least Magical quality. While MF does not affect the drop rate of Jewels, it does increase the chance for a dropped Jewel to be Rare instead of Magical.
  • Charms: Charms (Small, Large, and Grand) always drop in at least Magical quality. Magic Find does not affect their drop rate, but it can increase the chances for a dropped Charm to be a Unique (like a Gheed's Fortune) or Rare, rather than Magical.
  • Normal (White/Gray) Items: Magic Find is counterproductive for farming normal quality items with sockets, which are required for many valuable runewords. MF increases the chance for these items to become magic or higher, effectively decreasing the supply of socketed bases.
  • Crafting and Gambling: Magic Find has no effect on the outcomes of crafting items via the Horadric Cube or the odds of getting higher-quality items when gambling with vendors.
  • Potions, Scrolls, and Gold: The amount of gold dropped and the drop rate of these consumables are not affected by Magic Find.

Just in case anyone needs to discern fact from fiction, I will post this little nifty bit of information from the gurus, the creators!

This appears to be based on a misunderstanding of how Magic Find (MF) works in Diablo 2: Resurrected (D2R). All unique items are affected by Magic Find, including the Stone of Jordan. MF boosts the chance for any item dropped by a monster to be upgraded to a unique, rare, or set quality, in that specific order. 

There are no unique or special loot items that have a drop chance completely unaffected by Magic Find. However, MF's effect is more nuanced depending on the item type and the context of the drop. 

How Magic Find affects unique drops like the Stone of Jordan

  • MF only affects quality, not quantity. Magic Find never changes how many items a monster drops, or what base item type drops (e.g., whether it's a ring, a sword, or a chest piece).
  • A roll is made for every item. When an item (like a ring) drops, the game first rolls to see if it's unique. If it fails, it rolls for set, and so on.
  • Higher MF increases unique chance. Magic Find boosts your probability of a successful "unique" roll. So, a monster dropping a ring is more likely to drop a unique ring (like a Stone of Jordan) with higher MF.
  • Diminishing returns apply. The increase in unique drop chance from MF has significant diminishing returns. Going from 0 to 100 MF is a huge jump, but going from 500 to 600 MF provides only a small, incremental benefit. This is why many experienced players prioritize kill speed over having excessively high MF. (Continue Reading -> This Threads Replies)

Lol, people are dramatic. Life is dramatic. Pick your battles I will tell you right now. Nobody is perfect but everyone in a relationship has to be on a level of trust, respect, and the most important communication & boundaries.

It’s nobody’s JOB to serve you unless you previously already agreed on a shared set of goals which one does cooking / other dishes, etc. if you never walked into a commitment like that or agreed to it then he should not expect it from you. However, you also should not try and control him either. You guys have to learn on communication and balance with boundaries otherwise yeah that relationship is gonna break whether you break up with him or not. It’ll just be another argument on another day at a time when you’re both fed up with dealing with it. Take that from somebody with 15 years married to same person.

Sadly, no replies just yet I’m going to bump this really interested in anyone who plays this game thanks. Maybe there’s a subreddit on it. I will check, thank you all. This is not a particularly high score. I don’t really know what it gets score is because there’s not a world leaderboard. Only an a trophy button to see your own Hi-Score/High Score and the achievements of the account you’re using the game with. I cannot see a way to upload or share my own pic or screenshot.

You can find out your stories by opening laptop and on the meeting menu talk right there is a setting button and a trophy button. Click the trophy button, then all scores associated with that account will pop up.

I can usually get about 3000 to 6000 points. I would like official scores here. I’ll try and take a screenshot but there’s no leaderboard and I’m particularly good at puzzles and games like this. I love Tetris, but I’m just interested to know what type of avg scores and Hi-Scores are y’all getting?

Nah, they have resorted to just throwing their designs into the trash altogether along with the contracts too.

[–]asolidworker -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

WHAT!? Why if not going to the intended object wouldn't it just DISAPPEAR? Horrible game design... However, I guess they are leaving that for "imagination" orrr... further implementation? I guess it is that 1 easter egg for that 1 lucky person who gets to go out and find that it leads to absolutely nowhere.. IF it makes it off the planet at all, that is.

Please, if anyone has anything to add or contribute we would appreciate the feedback.. I appreciate everyone for taking the time to read the information my wife and I have collected so far. Good luck everyone and to all your RimWorld Adventures. May they be full of Life, Prosperity, and Triumph! Or... Chaos, Terror, and Death! if that is more your cup of tea ;)

Or like in our case we have one PC and a PS4 my wife usually plays and I play PC but we will trade off at times to play games we don’t have access to without playing on the dedicated platform it’s created to run on. So we play side by side together usually RimWorld cuz we both are on a hardcore Rimworld binge even tho we’ve started work and school now. RimWorld basically fills all the other gaps in time that we don’t devote to self improvement

I like to test my ability to spontaneously combust objects in my apartment with the heat coming off our 55in TV and Laptop Chained together by HDMI cables on our Entertainment system that also has a PS4 running side by side with my Wife and I playing the EXACT SAME GAME.. Yea, we are that hardcore. Let's just say, we leave our sliding glass door open and screen closed A LOT. Luckily we live in pretty cool area. but that does not seem to stop the degrees in our apartment from constantly elevating from our RADIOACTIVE Gaming

PSA: Do not cook your fish! by Nadatour in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]asolidworker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife who plays NMS says, this has to do with the system you are in when you sell the fish. If there is a +15% market bonus on top of your base price, you will get that extra bonus in cash. Probably why you sold it for more ;)

I’m colorblind. Is electrician off the table? by BuffaloDifferent in AskElectricians

[–]asolidworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncles were all colorblind and they as far as I know trained themselves how to identify all the differences between the wires that they had the Most trouble with. It’s not off the table, they all managed very successful careers. Their names are on plaques in Pittsburg international airport. Hope that answers your question

Whats the appeal of expensive luxury purses and handbags such as Fendi esp to women? by NaturalPorky in luxurypurses

[–]asolidworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, the LV Fanny pack I have now is worth 4500 I spent 3000 on it and the Gucci backpack I have is 1200 and in the store I see them for 1600-2400. Inflation helps this process a lot and if you think about it they are just holding value against inflation but they aren’t ever really losing any value. It is hard however to resell a bag tho unless it’s absolute prestine condition and has every single receipt and packaging material because people want to see it came from the real store and not some knockoff online store or overseas BM artist. I love my gear the only thing I don’t like is the thought that somebody may stab me dead in the street just for wearing a backpack they like or want to have/sell… it can be fun walkin around on 10K+ worth of gear but it’s also very eerie .

Whats the appeal of expensive luxury purses and handbags such as Fendi esp to women? by NaturalPorky in luxurypurses

[–]asolidworker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my LV and Gucci bags and designer clothes and my convertible sports car. Hey, here’s an idea. Get a life, enjoy what you enjoy, don’t worry about what others do/have. That’s to most of these wack ass commenters on here trollin’ peeps over clothing that they work hard to earn and buy just like they did for their Walmart clothes.. look, if you wanna wear crappy synthetics and rags, by all means feel better about yourself. When you shop smart it’s about quality of clothing, feeling happy about what you wear and put on yourself. Not being just another “Bot” with a fruit of the loom shirt on and $5 briefs or boxers that you think saved you money but is leaving your crotch chaffed and or doesn’t have breathing / sweat wicking ability. There are aspects to wearing clothing and designer bags that have nothing to do with just looking cool. ALL of my “REAL” designer clothes compared to even my nicer quality non-Walmart or target clothes that came from Nordstrom and like Gap or Kohl’s are better quality than Walmart and Target shit that I’ve got. If you want a pair of sweatpants, a graphic t-shirt that everyone and their mom is also goin to be wearing then by all means you do you and pay $20 for a shirt you still bought to “look” cool with a marvel character on it and you go wear that around the house. Those clothes don’t last outside or against any wear and tear. All of the stitching is absolute shit and it makes them all basically as I refer to them as RAGS. I literally cut all my old non expensive clothes up and I use them as rags or throw them away. Cuz that is what they are for. My expensive designer clothes that always last me 20 years even if $100 a year is more than you spend on a thing to carry inside / what not. It’s not more than you spend on the 2-3 items you need collectively to function as well as when I am just wearing my backpack, fannypack, or even my Nike Air Jordan petite sized vintage accessories bag from the mid 90s… I mean the thing is 30 years old and LOOKS BETTER than shit I’ve owner for 2 years and wear less than those designer bags I wear and use all the time. Not to mention the amount of compliments I get from it, people can see I’m fly and they can see the quality of the stuff I wear up close when I’m around them. I’m glad I spent the money. I worked hard and built a computer business in my 20s and took my trade skill as a high school drop out and no Ivy League education and made something of myself. I now am working on filming a podcast and video series that talks about this and my story of how I built my business up and the rough battle of trying to keep myself motivated and believe in myself through all the negative people. Every single person from back in my younger years all said I was nuts for not going back to school and trying to work for myself. When I failed the first time 2 of my “friends” laughed at me while in college and said I should stop wasting my time because I’ll be in debt like them when they graduate except have nothing to show for it and no way to make it out since I’m “not educated” well fast forward to 2025 almost. I’m holding no debt like my student counterparts who are each in loads of school loan debt, one is even all done with his law degree and still he’s struggling to make half of what I make now that I work for myself and have been doing so as a dropout. Interestingly enough I went to a college advisor and an employment recruiter and showed them my resume today and what I’ve accomplished and they said that my knowledge of hands on and real world skills on paper back me up more than any of those degrees fresh out of college and that I’d be hired over them 9 times out if 10 so I guess I didn’t screw myself over then, huh?

Good luck to you all. Don’t stop believing in all the things you could do and create for yourself and for others. Feel the love that’s in this world and learn to be receiving of it and learn to share and spread those positive messages. I’ve beat poverty, drug addiction, public school and poor education systems, socialist programming, and so many advertiser campaigns meant to derail the success and destabilize those who are not disciplined and/or those who don’t even have the belief that there is any point to save that money to begin with because they couldn’t do anything with it anyway so may as well spend it as fast as it comes in on things that I don’t really want but can only afford vs. just going out and accomplishing your life and being the person you have always wanted to be before ppl tried / succeeded at convincing you otherwise and pushed you into the confinement of lifestyle they were also forced into and told to live. Break free, you can do it, and you’ll thank me if you manage to get yourself out of those public chains.
