I'll probably play a bit more tonight. I don't have any real MF (I think one of my pieces may have some MF by coincidence) and not uber geared. However, the lack of finding any item of significance is making it harder and harder for me to continue the grind. I want to find an orange item already! *cry*
Just keep with it, man. I switched over to combat MF gear over "swap-out" mf gear and it made a huge difference in legendary drops for me.
I know you mentioned you aren't "uber-geared" so I'm not trying to throw my situation in your face. What I hope to imply is that just by PLAYING the game normally you'll get Magic Find by default thus translating into more and better drops for you. Hopefully while you do this you can pick up a worthwhile combat MF piece in your travels to make the situation better for you.
As long as you're having fun playing you'll just slowly start becoming a magic finding machine with no extra effort besides leveling (Okay probably not that good but you get my point)
Also in the no legendary club. Since launch, I've had 1 out of the 5 that I've had drop that was worth selling. Thankfully it was worth 35 million. But since I started running all MF gear and not just swapping, I still have yet to see a legendary. It's just luck of the draw, and my luck is very bad so far.
Now that they're awesome their relative scarcity is justified. This is a good thing!. Sure it means that you will go a while between legendaries, but when you do find one, it is almost guaranteed to be good. That is a good design.
If you were curious, I haven't found one yet either.
160% base MF, 24% from follower, Plvl12, had like... 9 Legendaries? only ones worth anything were 2x Mempo's of twilight (35 and 50m respectively), blackthorne's chest (20M), Sky splitter (7M) and strongarm bracers (5M). The remaining were just shard-material.

Like I'm sure others have said, you're only at a perma 32% MF which is quite low, and it could take awhile to find one even at plvl 100, since that's 300%. Sure that's high, but just because it is doesn't automatically mean you'll find them.
I've got a MF set that I can use to run around in Act I no problem. However, for Act II I can only use gale of it and have to switch around my skills for more def, thus making the runs in general longer, with less overall MF for mobs (still switch for elite kills).
So NY decision now is, do more runs per hour in act I with more MF or less runs per hour in act Ii with less MF?

You lucky duck...
Plvl17 and halfway to 18 now, only one legendary today, a 224 str andariel's helmet (sold for about 11m). Been a bad day :(.

I don't think I ever sold anything for 11m+ (well, maybe a rare gloves I've found iirc) been a bad 3 months?

would not say bad day considering you got 11m. i have not yet found a item that can be sold for more than 30k
At 330 MF with NV5, i've gotten about 1 legend every 4 act 1 full clears on average, Total of 5 legends so far in 20 full clears. When my sample size increases we'll see if this ratio continues.

Its all good, GW2 drops tonight.
I'll still play D3 just not as often, perhaps when the fabled pvp patch gets implemented i'll come back in full force.
If you were curious, I haven't found one yet either.

found no legendaries or sets.
found some rares which sold on AH for a pittance.
Been farming Act 1 for 2 days.
By the way, is it normal that about 1/10 rare drop is a ilvl 61+? Most of the drops are ilvl 53-60.
paragon lvl = 4 0 legendarys and 1116 elite kills
Im kinda unlucky but i have hope that at some point ill get some good items.
also since release ive played 780 hours and found 5 legendary's
You are just unlucky.
i tend to get ilvl 61+ 3/7 times and ilvl 63 1/5
Though rarely i get anything of value.
So NY decision now is, do more runs per hour in act I with more MF or less runs per hour in act Ii with less MF?
