"The Ascetic" - a trully disappointing amulet

Initially I thought that it gives bonus per each normal/magic item but actually it gives bonus only from one normal and magic item. How I was excited when I got my hands on it, thought that it is an interesting trade off of literally sacrificing your good/bis gear in exchange for decent magic find and how I was disappointed when I found out the truth. A league only unique amulet which could have been something special is pretty much another junk unique.

Edit:
Look at the flavor text, it doesn't entirely reflect how actually this amulet works.

well.. all MF uniques have serious drawbacks (or are insane to roll - Gamble says hi)

this one works pretty well when leveling, esp the +quantity is noticeable early on (currency drops). i bought it very early on on my 1st character (started on day 5th or so) and tried to use it as long as possible (repeating it for consecutive characters) because it works pretty well

sadly it resists vaal orbs so far.. :/

Probably a low level characters could use it for some time, but most likely none of the well developer characters will ever use it, at least I wouldn't put it on my strongest characters.

Bwahahaha... The prophecy for it is fairly common, if it were that op for magic finding there would be mf cullers everywhere.

It is easily the best mf amulet you could wear. Normal belt and you already beat blazon, magic helm with rarity and boom another 80% rarity minimum.

Edit: I should say it is the best to wear if you are desiring to be a full mf culler. Obviously a rare rarity necklace with resists and life would be better in the sense that survival is easier.

Lame indeed. Should be 75% per and 10% per. Make it interesting. MF with like all whites haha.

I agree, reduce values slightly and make it per normal/magic item and we would have something interesting to play with.

A lot of defensive/offensive capabilities come from gear, like energy shield, life or resistances for example. In order to make this amulet take effect you have to sacrifice those. Amulet itself pretty much takes away amulet slot from you. Imagine if it worked per normal/magic item (with slightly lower values for the sake of balance) you could create a fragile character with good MF, imagine doing maps with white gear, something very different from what we usually do.

thats the romantic take

real scenario is a 'white item culler' + group of bois herding the cettle

this game is too easy to abuse for items like you propose..

Well then it would encourage people to play in parties :)

Fragile is already the name of the game in mfing. Pretending that the Ascetic changes anything is a lie.
