So, after playing extensively since release it's very apparent even without looking at numbers/math that the lower MPs are far more efficient. Although, I did see a streamer farming white mobs in MP10. His thought process was that the guaranteed bonus item on 10 and the reasonable HP of the white mobs makes it a viable farming method. Thoughts?
I made a post on the official forums and uploaded an excel file with a detailed calculation in regards to how your efficiency is affected by monster power level taking into account all relevant factors.
If you're more interested in XP then the numbers will be different, but it shouldn't be hard to modify the excel file to calculate xp/hour rather than items/hour. Same goes for keys/organs (for which I don't have confirmed drop rates yet and how those scale with MP).
To sum it up, the excel file will show you that you are most likely best off sticking with MP0~4 even at very high gear levels, and even then the loot/hour will not be boosted much compared to what you can get at MP0.
Awesome! I'm glad someone has finally put some math to all this nonsense. I speculated from that start that the farming efficiency would be best at low MP levels. Makes the entire point of the system silly.
Excellent! All the changes are positive but I have one question. They are going to remove MF from gear slowly? Are you out of your fucking mind? Very few people will EVER reach level 100 paragon level. For those of us that don't choose to do this, what will happen to my current/future MF gear?
this topic will most likely become very important (looking forward to 1.04), so go ahead and share your experiences plz!
Couldn't agree more. Being able to efficiently farm Act 3 with MF will be highly useful. I rather have 175%-200% MF but be able to do Act 3 than have 300% farming Act 1.
I got 225% MF, 35k dps, 40k Life, 500 @ress, 5,5k armor (no buffs), and it cost me about 120 mln so far (still looking for last 2 items).
If you go on budget, without Life and @ress it would cost much less, but I would worry about survivability in such case.
MF gear for barb is very hard to get.
That's perfect! Could you post/message me your profile.
