What are some of people's favorite places to magic find in classic? I tend to go after a lot of the super uniques myself, as they seem to drop well. Here are some comments about some things I have tried (mostly with a WW/find item barb):
Travincal Council: Easy to get to, usually not much of a problem to kill, but you have to be careful as there are some lethal combinations you have to watch out for (triple enchantment is the worst). Every once and a while there will be a physical immune one. Seems to be one of the most profitable places to run, especially with dual gulls+find item.
Mephisto/Durance 3 Council: As of 1.10, now nearly impossible to get to in Hell, unless you use a program whose name I won't mention (nice way to thank the legit players, Blizzard). Bremm Sparkfist can be a nasty one to deal with. I usually don't bother with this anymore. Not to mention stygian dolls.
The Battlemaid (Ruined Temple, Stat point quest): Pretty easy to find (usually in the upper left of Kurast Bazaar. Easy to kill, usually a few random boss packs in the Temple too, usually aren't too hard. Seems to get decent drops.
Stormtree (Between Lower Kurast/Flayer jungle. Pretty easy to find, take the lower kurast WP, then head left, then down): Easy to kill unless he's mana burn, then forget about it if he starts his frenzy attack. Usually a few other boss packs nearby too.
Chaos/Diablo: Seems to be too hard to solo with any character in any reasonable amount of time with any decent amount of MF. But seems to have decent drops.
Andy: Takes way too long to find unless I'm a sorc. Andy never seems to drop well.
Rakanishu/Tristam: Lots of bosses, pretty easy to find, but can't drop the high end rare modifiers. Usually don't bother unless I'm getting a leg.
Bone Ash (Cathedral, take inner cloister WP): Trivial to find, lots of boss packs, but usually lots of immunities here. Unsure on whether Bone Ash drop King's mod or other high level rare modifiers.
Fireeye (Palace level 3, take Arcane WP and then go back through portal): Easy to get to, easy to kill, usually lots of boss packs in Palace 3 too. Seem to get good drops here, but don't even think about if you are a fire sorc.
Cow King: Great drops, especially with Find Item. But hard to run, as the killer obviously can't be a maker too.
The Countess/Tower: Lots of boss packs, but can't seem to drop high end rare modifiers.
The Pits: Haven't tried this much. Is it worth it in classic? Can you get high level modifiers here?
