Hi!

Well i can tell it works! But dont except to find uber items all the time!

I will tell how it works for me! I 'm sure that there are better builds beside IK barb but I will decsribe from my experiences!

I have made an IK barb and after maxing the necessary skills i put points in item find skill! My Ik barb has PTopaz in armor and 2 in helmet! Plus an Gheeds and mf charms in your bagpack!

There are 3 options here!

Option 1
U can use dual Ali Babas on switch (isted if u want now) and use hork (item find) after killing monsters. In this way u have more MF when switching to dual alis.

Option 2
U can use 2 heart carvers on switch. This give u 2 x 4 on item find. The downside is that u have less mf but u might find other stuff like sockatable items more often (from my testings anyway).

Option 3
U can use 1 Ali and 1 heartcarver. Combo for increased Mf and item find skill. Works nice!

With this barb I found a lot in the pits. I remember that fro 4 montsh a go i found Stormshield and Myrmidon greaves (unique assa boots) from the sam pack of monsters :D. Other stuff i found were charmskillers, smallcharms (mf, poison, etc), shako x 2, windforce (made my first ever bowazon with it), Death Cleaver, 2 ethereal Berzerker Axes, and many more items.

Expect though not to find nice items all the time! You need patience and many runs! I ran with my barb only pits!

My merc has of course MF items on him like Ptopaz Shako, Skulders with Ptopaz and Reapers Toll (amned).

Hope this helps!

The Pit is a cave located in the Tamoe Highlands in act1. Easiest way to get there is taking the outer cloister waypoint, then run back out to the highland following the roads until you find it.
Though, i cant help you with input on the other question.

The tomb reaver build someone mentioned already is a great MF build.

IK set works great with Find Item. The most expensive piece is the armor and that is fairly cheap really. A nice think about the IK set is the elemental damage it adds, the good consistant damage of the maul, and the plus skills.

Do not put a point in increased stamina (you won't need it) or faster run(it hurts your WW damage.) Do max battle orders and shout.

WW does not have to be maxed neither does mace mastery so you can pump FI some. I recommend pumping FI enough to reach 20 after plus skills. I also recommend pumping strength once you have a level of life after warcries you are comfortable with. A few mastery/warcry charms can help you out a lot too because both of those affect several of your skills at once. The IK set also has a lot of plus skills already.

Use a might merc. He'll be a great tank with your warcries and will help out your damage.

Double sheal or double IAS jewel your maul for the best breakpoint the IK weapon can reach.

Only 1 point in natural resists, one in iron skin to start with and start pumping IS later in your carreer. You'll not have much to worry about from archers if you do so (assuming you also max shout.)

While you can't hork the big three there are a number of good quick runs to hork: The pits that have already been mentioned, Travincial Council, Eldrich (go ahead and kill Shenk while you're at it, Pindle, StromTree(take Lower Kurast WP and head out to jungle), Fire Eye (take Arcane WP and go through portal), not to mention the other area runs.

If you have them use dual babbas/gulls when horking and Gheeds (you'll also be making lots of money for gambling, especially on Trav runs)

IK WW horker barb can also kill DClone without too much trouble :lol:

normal mf/goldfind build what will work with most weapon attacks, weapon classes.

max mastery
max bo
max FI skill
max an attack (ww or conc)
1 point ironskin
1 zerk
1-5 NR (depends on items/charms)
like GrumpyOldWizard i dont put points into r/w or stamina
1 point in howl, taunt, battlecry, warcry (used while merc gets last hit)
last 10 point go into shout or zerk
go with a might merc for the added dmg

have a killing item and MF/GF items on switch, put mf/gf stuff on merc.

Tal's hat, plate, belt have great mods for a melee mf char and if you can get more leech from your weapon.

the FI skill is the % a monster will drop a 2nd time. if they do they your mf/gf is used to see what you get. anything a monster can drop the first time they can drop the 2nd time.
