Possible MF & GF caps?

[Matsushita]

More runs I do more suspicions I have that Magic Find % has some kind of cap, especially when you have 5 stacks bonus...

Sure is RNG and it would be super hard to prove anything but it seems like there is no difference when I have +180% from gear or just 20% + 5 stacks.
One thing that comes to my mind is that I'm ignoring normal mobs. I bet they would have some more loot for me but talking about pure Elite packs farming I see no difference whatsoever when having high MF gear on. Packs drop 3 yellows very frequently, sometimes two yellows but very rarely just one.

What are your thoughts about this guys?

Also gold find % seems to be capped at some point. I would have to do more testing for this by smashing Act 1 couple of times but from the top of my head I had almost the same amount of gold from full Act when I had 150% GF from gear and when I had over 250% GF...

Did someone tested it more precisely?

When I started farming three weeks ago (Only A1 mind you), i had full dps build, 0% MF, looted ~2 rares and ~2 blues per elite/champion pack, and noted down how many rares i got every run (38-44-39-41-42 for the numbers I have atm). With 1.0.3, I changed my gear to incorporate more MF, and now have 194 without NV (so about 275% with it). I frequently see the following combo now : either three rares and nothing else, or two rares and up to 6 blues.

I saw a vast increase in the number of blues i get per run (easily doubled from before), but same amount of rares (from the numbers i noted down : 45-39-51-49-44-47) (if you prefer, a very slight increase).

I got 0 legendaries without MF gear, and one (in 80-100 runs) with, so nothing very definitive on the legendary side.

5 stacks of NV DEFINITELY create an edge (with the obligatory rare drop), but from 0 to 200% MF, the difference is really small (imo). Still going to try to get to 300%, but i'm starting to wondering if it's really working

If the drop chance is really low, and it is, then the +MF parameter changes very little.

Say the base chance is 0.023% (random low number).
With a +200% bonus, the drop chance is only increased to 0.069%.
So you still have a really low chance.

Just play the game and have fun. Don't spend too much time thinking about what you aren't getting.
