I've struggled for a long time when using the maximizer's "max" keyword. I have the feeling I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something, and that the issue is on my end, not Mafia's. So I'm hoping someone can clear things up for me.
For instance: I'd like to cap 30% drops, with further +item% being worthless, and use other slots to maximize my mysticality.
Capping 30% drops takes 334% items. So I tried maximizing "item 334 max, myst". But Mafia suggests a set of items that universally raise my mysticality, leaving my +item% at 181%.
Presumably that's because, for each given slot, the item that's best at raising myst raises it further than the item that's best at raising +item%. So I need to weight things somehow? So I tried "10 item 334 max, myst". That produces a set of items including the Goggles of Loathing and Pocket Square of Loathing (and no other Cloathing pieces). That's a total of +2% items and +2% myst from those two items, combined, leaving my +item% at 247% (13% higher than I needed, which is OK). But I could raise my myst by 173 points by replacing the Goggles and Pocket Square with a feathered headdress and Wal-Mart nametag, and still leave my +item% at 245% (ie. exceeding my requirement), so why didn't Mafia suggest that instead?
