PoE 3.22 Best Magic Find Builds for Trail of Ancestors
Magic Find (MF) is a popular strategy in Path of Exile that allows you to increase the quantity and rarity of the items you loot from enemies and chests. By equipping gear with MF affixes, you can boost your profits and find more valuable items. However, MF builds often have lower damage and survivability than other builds, so you need to balance your stats carefully. In this guide, we will show you the top 5 best MF builds in PoE 3.22 Trial of the Ancestor League, based on their performance, budget, and playstyle. Whether you are looking for a fast and easy MF build, a solo or party MF build, or a high-end MF build, you will find it here. Let's begin!

Top 1 - Lightning Arrow Deadeye Magic Find Build
Lightning Arrow Deadeye is the perfect combination for a magic find character and in the last League this combination brought a lot of PoE currency. It is a build that uses Lightning Arrow as the main skill, which shoots arrows that deal elemental damage and chain to nearby enemies. It also uses Storm Rain for single target damage and Artillery Ballista for extra burst. The build is very fast and efficient at clearing maps, but it requires a lot of currency to scale well. Some of the key items for this build are Windripper, Rigwald's Quills, The Tempest's Binding, and Sadima's Touch. The build also uses the Meticulous Appraiser keystone, which increases item rarity based on the number of enemies hit by your skills. This build lets us take advantage of the three strongest elemental effects in the game for our three-element bow build: burn, frost, and stun. This build is very hard to make, so watch out. It needs a lot of costly tech combos that are essential.

Top 2 - Tornado Shot Deadeye Magic Find Build
Tornado Shot Deadeye Magic Find Build is a popular build in PoE 3.22 that uses the Tornado Shot skill to clear maps fast and efficiently while also stacking magic find stats to increase the loot drops. The build is based on converting physical damage to elemental damage and using the Deadeye ascendancy to boost projectile speed, damage, and area of effect. The build can also use Ice Shot or Lightning Arrow as alternative skills. Tornado Shot MF build with the new tattoos becomes incredibly great in this 3.22 league. A physical bow is much better than an elemental bow since headhunter stacks give extra damage.

Top 3 - Hybrid Righteous Fire Magic FindBuild
Magic Find Righteous Fire build can be used to farm "Alc-And-Go" T16 maps. We added 322% Rarity and 18% Quantity to the "normal" Scion Righteous Fire build as it was overpowering the speed-clearing T16 content. In adding some MF stats, the build is roughly 20% weaker, but this is worth the trade-off since we are getting 25%-30%+ more loot. While the gear is expensive, the same strategy can be done on a lower budget. Just get Regen and Rarity on all your rare pieces, run Double Ventor's rings, and run a Gold Flask. This should result in ~200% Rarity and ~20% quantity, which is more than enough to notice since MF stats have diminishing returns, thus even a "small" investment makes a big difference rather than running 0 MF.

Top 4 - Caustic Arrow Pathfinder Magic Find Build
Caustic Arrow Pathfinder Magic Find Build is another build in PoE 3.22 that uses the Caustic Arrow skill to create a toxic cloud that deals chaos damage over time to enemies. The build also uses Poison Ballista totems to apply more poison stacks and boost the damage. The build is based on using the Pathfinder ascendancy to enhance the flask effects and gain more movement speed, evasion, and ailment immunity. The build also uses magic find stats to increase the loot drops. This build costs around 100+ divines, but it'll still perform better than any other MF build outside of CF Champ for that price.

Top 5 - Vaal Fireball Pathfinder Magic Find Build
This Vaal Fireball Pathfinder is a powerful magic find (MF) build that can handle any content in Standard mode. This build uses Vaal Fireball as the main skill, which can clear maps fast and deal huge damage to bosses. To make this build work, you will need a legacy item called Soul Catcher, which lets you spam your Vaal skills without using any mana or life. You will also need a lot of flask effect and reduced soul cost to keep your Vaal skills up all the time. This build is different from the typical attack-based deadeye MF builds that are very expensive and not very versatile. With this build, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: high loot and high performance.
