Magic Find as a stand alone character stat.

Hello everyone. To start, I'm having a blast playing the game, and I want to leave my suggestion towards a stat that I'm not particularly fond of when attached to gear, as it doesn't make sense to me, and being an important stat that everyone is seeking out for, it should have its own spotlight.

Many thematic treasure-hunting activities are already built in throughout the game, mainly in Act 3 and late game as expeditions. Increasing the Magic Find stat could be implemented as a quest reward and, therefore, another way of character progression without relying on the stat to appear in your gear.

In Act 2, the exiles have the quest to find an item, a rare relic to help them in their quest, and a couple of other relics they have to place at a particular altar. Moreover, in Act 3, the exiles find golden relics for Oswald and explore the ruins with Alva. All of these side/main quests and activities have strong themes of an explorer and a treasure hunter; as such, the exiles could be rewarded with an increase in Magic Find stat as they get more experience finding said items or completing quests. Expeditions in the late game could further increase the exile's ability to find goodies. Making the stat associated with the character and not with gear would encourage the player to explore the map thoroughly, especially on the big maps, where sometimes you just want to reach the end, all of this providing that the developers are intending add more secret/side areas to the game.

And there we go, my 2 cents about the Magic Find stat and associated solely with gear; the helmet may be alright thematically.


Thank you to everyone at GGG for your hard work and to the POE community.


P.S. Waiting patiently to teaks to the warrior class xD
