It's jewelery heavy yeah, no griffons to be had. I'd "farm" those via TZ Bossruns anyways... Trav drops jewelery consistently. And charms. Lots and lots of charms.

I have found at least 2

Griffon's Eye in TZ Trav. Regular Trav maybe can't drop it but I usually hork TZ. It's not super common to find sick uniques in Trav, but it definitely happens.

I also do mf in tz trav too.
I have 2 different setup.

For regular trav, I do

Gold and target blue/rare. Because there are better place to find soj.
TZ trav,

Ist it up. but still only between 250-400 mf.

Mine has about 250mf normally, and over 500 on swap. I have some hybrid gear on for extra MF, like

War Traveler instead of

Gore Rider and a bunch of MF charms mixed in with my damage/ar/life charms.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet but I use dual Heart Carvers. +8 to

Find Potion and +8 to

Find Item. This drastically increases the odds you'll even get a horked drop. Buff your MF using other gear

Yeah I use a

Heart Carver and ali baba on swap. Good balance between MF and

Find Item chance I guess

To my knowledge the "absolute" synergy via

Find Potion only applies to hardpoints, and beginning at ~70% there are so strong diminishing returns for the skill itself that its a waste of points (or items providing the points).

2x Ali Baba with 2

Ist each

Stack at least ~1200-1300%

Gold find, and ~400-500 mf on swap when horking. It will be raining good items, and 300-500k

Gold each run. No need to stack

Find Item above 72-73%

Then make 95 lvl char, and gamble circlets each time you make 12.5kk

Gold.

Generally I think most ppl underappreciate

Gold find.

The good setup would be something like:

1. Wealth
2.

Immortal King's Will (

Cham +

Ist if possible; otherwise 2 x

Ist) -

Cham so you don't need

Raven Frost - you need to avoid cold damage
3.

Dwarf Star x 2
4.

Goldwrap
5.

Chance Guards
6.

War Traveler

Inventory: stack

Gold fine, attack rating, damage charms

On the front: Grief +

Stormshield (with

Um) - use

Berserk to kill everything
On the Back: 2x Ali Baba (2

Ist each)
Pure profit.

Gambling is just so boring, even more so if you go for rings (buy-delay on each ring) or tiaras instead of circlets for the chance of the occasional

Diadem...

first, mf is not important at all in rotw, especially after warlock hook. 1 hour in that period will need you run 15 hour tz trav.

let's start discuss not so important mf. please focus on have fun, casually play.

mf table
https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo_2_Resur ... _are_real/

I use max possible case here which usually not going to happen.
170 532 setup A
190 792 setup B

Assume you can swap weapon to achieve this, trav usually consider as two phase, 1 is killing phase which will also drop, people will need to think about kill speed vs mf, 2 phase is only think about mf or gf in hook.

setup A will have good kill speed but lower mf, in this comparison, setup A win because of performance always beat tiny 20 real mf which only about 10% increase but the other makes you run more with 20-40% performance increase.

heart craver vs ali baba

240 GF
96 mf
1 socket

Ist

vs
2 % chance

16-20 real mf, around 10-13% mf increase +

Gold

2% x (3 item, very low chance of rune, ok chance of

Ruby)~ 6% more item ,1/10

Ral value x 6%, 1/5

Ruby worth gem

in normal case, it will be very hard for heart craver to win but consider of rotw market value, in rotw, heart craver surely win in non tz trav and it win only tiny.

heart craver will increase skill

Find Item(+4) around 2% for bar. in LoD, heart craver lose for sure. rotw, hard to say, I guess heart craver win.

Every thing in above is tiny difference, you can offset it by run 1 more trav.

charms-> mf not affect drop

It increases the odds for

Gheed's and for sunder charms (if you are running TZ), so totally worth it.

you are correct about this, rotw, this is new and worth it , maybe
lod, no, magic charm better

------------
To max performance in non tz trav,
you have to use calculator,
make sure your goal, 4 hit kill or 5 hit kill, it is very different. if your damage float between 3 hit and 4 hit, it is 4 hit kill. The adjustment is long , boring tuning, you need use token to adjust str , skill, adjust +1 max attack charm, mf , gf....

and in rotw, if you arent so look for perfect, mf isnt that important, even if you run tz trav, it is still nothing.

2 Ali if you like running around with red cricket bats.

If you can afford style, 2x 6x

Ist/

Lem in whatever you fancy.

Dual war axes look fitting

I have other char focus on mf.

my bar is just for

Gold and jmod

Monarch or 4 socket armor.

2x baba with around 400 mf, full of

Lem

I am in old world LoD , heart craver does not work in old market but it surely work in rotw due to previously massive hork, they ignore pgm pick only good items.

dual Heart Carvers

You need to find what is best for skills.(adjustment is needed, adjust mf to find your target, non tz blue rare, tz balance between chance and mf)

Find Item +8 is around 3% ~3.5%

I guess it makes you get more 1/10

Ral per hook.

besides, grand charm (warcry + gf) also help , it may further boost it to 5 % chance to find items if you fill up inventory with warcry gc.

I didnt think of play this way...

I tried dual

Heart Carver for a while but now I do dual Ali baba with 4

Lem runes
