What does +___% to find gold/magic items give?
Solution 1:
For gold:
- +_% amount of gold found means you get more gold when it drops, it doesn't affect gold drop rates.
For items:
- +_% magic finding means increased drop rate for gear, but not necessarily yields better gear. Each item tier (green, blue, yellow, purple) has its own drop rates (%), and it is this drop rate that will be increased.
