Just as an update, I've tried a ladder runeword with no success, additionally I've found not one Reaper's Toll but 3 since the last time I've posted in this thread. Currently I'm leaning towards the Arreat Summit wrongly marking the Reaper's Toll as being ladder only.

I've also discovered that it's not the current armour equipped that decides one's magic find, but the armour being worn at the execution of an attack. For example, if I fired a Blessed Hammer and switched items (+100 magic find) before it hit a it's target, the hammer WOULD NOT hit as +100 magic find but rather the previous armour's magic find.

So a projectile or a duration attack seems to only carry the armour properties at the time of execution, not the equipped armour at the time of monster death.

This is only a theory, but I've had way too many monsters die to firewalls and been jipped of drops. There is a major difference between 0% extra gold and 250% extra gold. I've casted firewall, swapped weapons (before firewall's duration ran out) and gotten 1500 gold; where if I killed a monster with the gold finding weapon equipped I'd properly net 4500 gold or more.

Interesting point of note I think.

Edit

Yesterday I found a Shadowkilller!?! Another ladder only weapon O_o
