Description

As the title say, to play or not to play with it (the 4200 MF EasterEgg)?

I am against playing with any kind of cheat mode activated on any game I play but with this slot machine / lottery ticket Diablo 2 is, I kinda lean on using it.
You don't get infinite ammo, infinite lives, cheats that reveal map or any perks that interfere with the game. You get just a boost of the very low chances that you initially have to find that so elusive items in the game.

I'm leveling a new character right now and in Nightmare,
Plains of Despair
, I encountered the Burning Souls. At this stage I was in doubt to activate it or not.

According to Nishicode (https://nishicode.com/#/dropfinder/AAABCAgAbgAACZU=), with 1167 MF and a level 96
Terror
Zone you have 1 in 12662 to get
Tyrael's Might
.
When non TZ, the best bet you have is with Hell
Baal
, at 358754, and we are talking Players 8.

With these numbers in front of me I made up my mind, so I killed my merc and activated the Magic Find dance.
Now I'm in Act V with that 4200 MF. When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade.

What do you guys think about this "cheating" mode to play?
This is more powerful than ever before as now you can terrorize the entire game and benefit the enormous magic find number.

Well, I believe the formula for effective MF is (MF*250)/(MF+250)

At 1167, your effective MF for uniques is 205. At 250 MF (reasonable to achieve for most characters) your effective MF is 125. So you get an increase of (1+205)/(1+125)-1 = 35% in the number of uniques you will find.

Is that worth it? Maybe now it is with the ability to terrorize the whole game. But it doesn't feel game changing.

How long on average does it take you to prep and trigger the MF easter egg?

You're right, it can take a while until you find those souls and then trying to activate it. But if you're committed to make a full game clearing, it's definitely worth it.
Right in the second zone of Act V, of two kills I got two unique.
