Diablo II 'Magic Find' Guide (English Version)
The Right 'Magic Find' Equipment and Tips (Continued)
One has now a number of options when choosing MF equipment. There are, first of all, the good, but also rare and thus expensive, unique items or set items which carry, among other properties, a high percentage of additional chance on magical items. The MF chance on each of the following items can be – if it is socketable, i.e. by Larzuk after quest 1 in Act 5 – improved further with an 'IST' rune (+30% MF chance in weapons, +25% in helms, armors and shields) or a perfect Topaz (+24% MF chance in helms and armors).
Noteworthy items are:
Helms
- 'Harlequin Crest' unique Shako with +50% MF Chance
- 'Stealskull' unique Casque with +30% to +50% MF Chance (varies)
- 'Tarnhelm' unique Skull Cap with +25% to +50% MF Chance (varies)
- 'Immortal King's Will' Avenger Guard helm from the 'Immortal King' set with +25% to +40% MF Chance (varies) and 2 free sockets for further improvement with 2 perfect Topazes (+48% MF) or 2 IST runes (+50% MF)
- 'Griswold's Valor' Corona from the 'Griswold's Legacy' set with +20% to +30% MF Chance (varies) and 2 free sockets for further improvement with 2 perfect Topazes (+48% MF) or 2 IST runes (+50% MF)
- 'Delirium' Runeword Helm (Lem-Ist-Io) with +25% MF Chance. In addition to the MF bonus and +2 to all skills, such a helm has extraordinary defensive qualities like, for example, the chance to cast the powerful curse 'Confuse' on attack, which predestinates it for solo runs. A quite amusing gimmick of the helm is the 1% chance to transform its owner into an extremely aggressive Undead Stygian Doll if he gets hit ('Delirium' chance), which also works with hirelings:
Armors
- 'Skullder's Ire' unique Russet Armor with +1,25% to +123% MF Chance (based on character level (1-99))
- 'Wealth' Runeword Armor (Lem-Ko-Tir) with +100% MF Chance
- 'Enigma' Runeword Armor (Jah-Ith-Ber) with +1% to +99% MF Chance (based on character level (1-99))
- 'Tal Rasha's Guardianship' Lacquered Plate from the 'Tal Rasha's Wrappings' set with +88% MF Chance. Wearing 2 additional items of the set, i.e. Amulet and Belt, grants additional +65% MF Chance.
Shields
- 'Rhyme' Runeword Shield (Shael-Eth) with +25% MF Chance
Gloves
- 'Chance Guards' unique Chain Gloves with +25% to +40% MF Chance (varies)

Miscellaneous

(*) TIP: Since patch 1.10, the 'Goldwrap' belt can be improved with a new Horadric Cube recipe (Tal rune + Shael rune + perfect Diamond + normal unique Armor), which transforms its original type 'Heavy Belt' to 'Battle Belt' (requires 88 strength). After that, the belt can carry 16 instead of the originally 12 (health) potions.
