Chance Guards

Chance Guards stand as the undisputed best magic find gloves in Diablo 2 Resurrected, offering an unmatched combination of treasure hunting bonuses that make them an essential piece of equipment for any serious farmer. With up to 40% Magic Find and 200% Extra Gold From Monsters, these chain gloves have become the foundation of virtually every magic find build in the game.

Magic Find & Gold Find Mastery

What elevates Chance Guards above every other glove option is the sheer magnitude of their dual farming bonuses. The 25-40% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items is by a considerable margin the highest magic find roll available for gloves, with a perfect roll providing substantially more treasure hunting power than competing options like Magefist (which focuses on spellcasting) or Tarnhelm (which provides similar magic find but only 75% gold find).

The 200% Extra Gold From Monsters bonus makes efficient farming not just possible, but profitable. Combined with gold-finding boots like War Traveler or rings like Nagelring, players can accumulate substantial wealth while hunting for rare drops. The additional +25 to Attack Rating and moderate defense bonuses keep these gloves relevant for combat while remaining glove-slot efficient.

Best Uses & Build Integration

Chance Guards work exceptionally well across all character classes and builds that prioritize farming efficiency. Sorceresses benefit most from their versatility—using them enables balanced magic find without sacrificing teleport mobility and spell damage. Hammer Paladins achieve comfortable magic find breakpoints while maintaining crushing combat effectiveness, and Poison Nova Necromancers stack them as part of their treasure hunting kit.

The optimal magic find strategy balances Chance Guards with other powerful MF items, targeting approximately 300-350% total magic find before diminishing returns become significant. At this threshold, players maintain excellent clear speed while maximizing item discovery rates without over-sacrificing combat viability.

Trading Value & Farming Legacy
