Yea, as soon as it dropped I knew I was wrong about key drops, still, it was unexpected. | ||

The typical A1 route is Festering Woods and Royal Cemetery on MP 1+ for items. I think anyways... I'd love to hear a better route if someone's got it. Prepatch you would start by zoning to Northern Highlands to check for watchtower, remaking if it's not there. Post-patch watchtower is in Southern Highlands which is easier to reach; but the WT has been heavily nerfed of mobs so I don't know if anyone does it. I do the Festering Woods and Fields during my key farming runs; which is how I learned the awesomeness that is Decaying Crypts; in fact if I feel lucky I'll just start at Fields and more often than not I can get 5 stacks before finding the warden (Scavenger's Den and Decaying Crypts can both spawn; then there are two possible events plus a bunch of elites). | ||

I always blindly salvage them without looking at the stats XD well they are suppoed so help a "frost" build, but you loose so many stats on it that its never worth it really, maybe as a start item for when you start a wizard at 60 if you can find anything (or don't have any gold) | ||

Of course if you want cash; then just go straight to the RMAH and don't worry about wonky cross-AH interactions. Also this trick doesn't work with commodities like gems since those have a 15% AH fee on RMAH (although sometimes gem prices can be out of wack between the AH and RMAH). * Example cuz I'm OCD: exchange rate is $1 / 1M gold item goes for 160M gold on gold AH items goes for $150 on RMAH (or equivalent to 150M gold) Selling on the gold AH will net you 160 *.85 = 136M gold. Selling on the RMAH will net you $149 => 149M gold. So you pocket more gold with the RMAH even though it sells for 'less'. Edit: I'm sure you guys already knew this, but I just had to share. | ||

Simple chart: @ $0.50/m - RMAH range = 13.3 m-585.9 m @ $0.45/m - RMAH range = 14.8 m-650.9 m @ $0.40/m - RMAH range = 16.7 m-732.4 m @ $0.35/m - RMAH range = 19.0 m-837.0 m @ $0.30/m - RMAH range = 22.2 m-976.5 m @ $0.25/m - RMAH range = 26.7 m-1171.8 m | ||

I believe its completely random. I've found around 15 ivory towers in act 3. Although (purely on suspicion) I am beginning to think higher MPs allow for less lvl 61 and lower rolls, just because I had been finding higher lvl legendaries until I switched to mp0 for farming, but that could just be luck. | ||

Isn´t that just how magic find works? The higher your MF the higher chance of getting better items, right? And doesn´t it affect the number of properties on an item too? | ||

MF does however increase the chance that the item type that does drop will be magic, rare or legendary. Keep in mind that because we do not tend to look at the magic quality (blue) items that drop, due in part to their abundance and hence their tendency to be of little value or the ineffeciency of time spent picking them up, that as our magic find is increased we will notice a greater number of items worth picking up (those formerly magic quality items will more often roll as rare or legendary). | ||
