Item quality percentage scaling (magic find formula explanation)

It would be really great if you guys could make a video or at least a post with "magic find" formula scaling and percentage addition explanation. Thats because now it just doesn't seems right or legit when you take +6 or +7 expedition with around +200% "mf" the logic tells me I should get 2 times better loot but the reality is that I can go veteran +1 or even adept expedition and get same amount of uniques and reds but way, way, WAY much faster.

And keep in mind please that "O´Maley's Lucky Belt" which gives about +45% magic find. So my point is that I dont get 2 times more quality loot or 2 times more amount of loot. At +200% expedition +45% belt I still get tons of white and blue items from monsters, and it is not at all garanteed that I even will get a red or violet (unique) after completing 42-43 monster level which is not fast with my mage build.

I am over concentrated, spend huge amounts of efforts and time just for a chance of getting a loot, not the guarantee and it doesnt seems fair or worth. And I dont say its bad - just explain the formula than and I believe many players won't take it as a cheating from devs or bug like it was with magic skills not doing enough damage some patches ago.

In conclusion I want to remind that Wolcen is NOT free to play but buy to play which means I should get some joy from the process of playing after I gave money. (well at least I thinks so and I do get but not from item grind wanking) If I wanted to get over feeling that somebody owns me by forcing to spend days or even weeks to finally get that legendary epic or at least rare-superior with at least tier 2 rolls for my class (not fckn sorcerer armor with NO +wisdom and NO force shield) - I would have installed PoE, I know they "own me" but at least - its free.

P.S. This post if much inspired by a month of gameplay with around 200-300 of each mage armor pieces dropped NOT containing +wisdom AND +forceshield in the same item. Always fckn one without the other or absolute useless health regeneration with maximum health

Hello Orlovsky,

Magic find won't help you much for what you are currently looking for, but crafting will, when it's implemented in the game.
We won't communicate on the precise formula, but we're considering a review or a revamp from the system for the release of the game in January 2020.

Thank you for your feedback.
