The new "Three Hundredth Spear" has no Magic Find. Buy the old ones before too late?

I think there is some money to be made for quick turn over on the GAH. But given we haven't had Jay's blog post on MF and how it will work in the future (other then we no it's not going to be averaged amongst the group - there is still a bit of a risk as to what will be or and what is not post the patch.

One legendary sword also has 25% mf, and it might not be changed, so don't know why people investing so much on the 300th spear already : p

edit: i know its for the templar, but really, with the shield its just like 4-5% more mf or something, but enchantress abilities are like infinitely better.... so i spent 20 mil and bought like 200 swords just in case : p

Can any of the followers equip this spear x2?

No1 can equip more than one Legendary item at time. And no, you can't DW Spear/SunKeeper either. So your best bet is Spear/SunKeeper + Shield

No it isn't. Take a look at my templar.

ok, so then it's capped at 24, or divided by 5?

and what does your ingame MF say? 204 or 228?

found a nice table with max MF for each class.

LOVE the new spear, already have a few MF ones in HC, so don't care about the change (they'll add more weaps with MF, or maybe just wait till JW's MF post).

I am SO getting the new spear on my throw barb.

Seriously, HOLY ****.

You get 20% of your follower's MF, e.g.

40% amu + 2* 17% rings + 25% weapon + 20% shield = 119 % MF, 20% of that is 23.8%, since the game is rounding that up, you'll see 24% which is added to your MF when you inspect your "c"haracter. So as long as your follower has 23.6 or higher MF it will show as 24% (e.g. one ring being 16 instead of 17 in that calc would result in 23.6%)

It's all quite easy to see... Your follower MF is displayed in the follower detail section... so when you count the total MF of the items your follower wears just do a simple rule of proportion.

119 = 100%
24 = x%
X= 100*24 / 119 -> 20% (rounded) effective MF from follower

Like Schwiing said, he meant you only get 20% of the MF from your Follower. Which is why your Templar, for all that uber MF gear, only grants 24% total MF to your cause.

This might actually become quite interesting in v1.04, if there are some big MF legendary/set items that can boost followers to like 250 or 300% MF (and if they're like goldwrap/chance guards/tarnhelm/etc from D2 and aren't really Inferno-quality gear). That would provide quite a boost to your MF, without the performance drawbacks of wearing them yourself.

Theres a 2h sword that can have up to 25% mf aswell.
Also a 2h staff called The Grand Vizier that has between 16-20% mf and 15-20% gf its like 650~750 dps and can roll int too so quite good for enchantress.

Just that the templar can use this spear and a 20% mf shield unlike the others so its potentially 4% more than other followers, though he kind of sucks damage-buff wise, arguably best merc for undergeared HC play though! (till inferno-ish)

Goldskin merc?

I was just pointing out, because he said "capped" not "you only get 20% benefit", so he could see you can get over 20%. There's a difference in meaning, and I think he actually meant capped after reading his subsequent post. There's a reason I have max MF on all that stuff, because I knew that was the only way to get to 24%

Every percent counts! Could be the difference between a balor armor, and an astral mail!

P.S. Portland represent!
