Sorry for being unclear.
First: The MF on the items you are wearing at the time of monster death counts for the drop upon death. You knew this of course.
Second: The MF on the items you are wearing at the time of using the Find Item skill are used for a possible drop from Find Item.
Third: The Find Item percentage at the time you use the skill is used to calculate the drop chance. No need to "tag" a monster before it dies.
So by switching out two Ali Babas for two Heart Carvers you get an increased chance of a drop from Find Item but you also lower your MF for a possible drop from horking. Just think of using Find Item as making another kill :).
Unfortunately, events have occured since my last post that will severly shorten my time online for the next week, I'll still put you in my friends list, maybe we can work something out. When is your prefered playing time?
Oh and I mainly use nuurabsaal5 nowadays, since that's where all my current ladder chars are.
Hope this cleared it up.
