Which zones do you normally run?
Are there luck on your jewelry?
Do you use trophies?
Do you take the Faction Control Bonus Luck into effect?
Adding my anecdotal data to the discussion - I also believe high luck is resulting in fewer trophies and less loot overall. I run chests for hours every day with max luck (breakdown below). I’ve opened 900+ chests in the past 5 days in Reek and received 4 trophy components. The rarity and quantity of items have felt lower as I’ve increased my luck.
8 x 3.3 Armor & Jewelry w/ Pearl = 26.4%
3 x 2.8 Bags = 8.4%
3 x 1.5 T4 Trophies = 4.5%
PvP on = 10%
Total = 49.3%

Hello I’m running a very good Luck gear aswell. I only have T1 luck trophies but I do have luck on all possible slot with gems, including Lucky + Luck jewelry. Not as close to max as OP but definitely a good luck gear.
So far I looted only 7 trophies, since I started my Supply Stockpile farm routine a couple of weeks ago. I have a large amount of game time and I spent most of the last 2 weeks doing this supply stockpile route, it’s 25 chests for a single run and I do multiple per days. I’m not tracking the exact numbers but it’s easily multiple thousands of chests in a couple weeks.
I’m doing my run flagged for PvP recently, like 5-6 days from now and I looted not a single one. Yes not a single trophy doing 25+ chests per hours for serverals hours a day.
I’ll keep going flagged until I drop one and then I’ll flag off and we’ll see. I know drop rate are incredibly low but I definitely feels like I was looting more of these trophy items when I was not flagged for PvP, usually at least one per day or every 2 days, but it’s now been a entiere week (over 500+ chests) that I’m flagged and didn’t drop any.
Edit : I believe I have something like 0.2 or 0.3% chance of droping a trophy item when opening a Supply Stockpile, so with 500 chests I should have quite some good chance of finding at least one, and with 1000 chests it would extremely unlucky to not see any.
Theory: I believe if you put pearls in luck gear, you cancel out the luck on the piece of gear. Possibly something to do with how the devs say they “do not want any piece of gear having the same perk twice”?
I also run multiple chest rounds per day, and I’ve been testing it since they added the pvp luck.
One round flagged, one unflagged sort of pattern. So far I’ve dropped 2 trophy parts flagged and about 11 unflagged.
Of course the sample size isn’t anywhere big enough to draw any final conclusions, but I’ve been hearing reports left and right about similar experience with the flagged luck. There’s something fishy about it, I think.

Last question.
Do you normally solo or run in a group or with a friend for chest farming?
Voidbent = 5x 2.8 = 14
Jewlery = 3x 2.8 = 8.4
Bags = 7.6
Weapons = 4.5
Gems = 4
Minor troph x2 = 1
PVP = 10%
14 + 8.4 + 7.6 + 4.5 + 4 + 1 + 10= 49.5% luck
I have noticed a large decrease in my trophy luck since adding pearls to my voidbent & weapon.
Also worth noting, i believe there is a secret ‘Diminishing returns’ effect we have not been informed of. I run chests for hours on end & find that when i first start my luck is much higher, after some time instead of seeing 3/4/5 drops from a single chest, i can end up finding only 1 drop & it’s a green weapon / Armor piece… then it picks back up again after some more time.
2 cents
solo. And i have to say… im a 100% sure they stealth nerfed trophy parts again with the last server maintance. Last 2 days not a single piece. I run atleast 8 hours a day and didnt get anything. Befor the maintance i got 2-5 parts a fuckin day with less than 8 hours. These dev stealth changing more than anything else. They really try to even kill the ltitle endgame there is. I started standing around for 5 hours a day in city. Because the endgame loop got complete garbage and was before already lol. Chest runs dead, elite runs boring as hell also garbage, dungeons locked behind an incompetence problem of the devs.
Yeah man I feel ya, I’ve literally farmed for hours, have almost max luck as well, and no trophies, all crap greens from chests.
Same insatisfaction here… this has became a huge mess…
I have the same issue when looting chest in Reekwater with my company all PVP flagged and full luck gear and I went off to do SM and still don’t see as much rare stuff. I have given it a few days as I think it may just be a matter of time but definitely want to know if it’s a bug or maybe they just overshot the nerf to loot drops or changes to drops.
I don’t know if luck is bugged or not, I’ll leave that to Devs, but I do know this:
You can have all the luck in the world, but at the end of the day RNG is still RNG.
Tbh i think the amulet is bugged, bc I noticed on on one of my runs when I took it off I got more purple drops, but still no trophies, like they definite;y made some update bc right after the patch hit there were so many of them on market, then suddenly nothing.
I’ve just started doing the run in weaver’s fen and reekwater a few days back. Just once a night really. Out of the 3 times I ran weaver’s I got 2 surveyor’s tools (1 on each of my first two runs). The reekwater run I do I’ve not gotten anything from. I’m not hitting elite chests, but am hitting the T3 large chests.
I only have luck on all my armour pieces (2.7-2.8) and bags, plus the bonus from flagging PvP. I heard stuff about luck jewellery breaking luck or something so have stayed away from that.
Just got my first trophy drop out of a 580 chest, only took 9 days.
Update ?
My guess is: Trophy components were nerfed since pvp flag update. But not only that… it is a lucksafe drop. In other words, luck atribute doesn’t seems to increase its drop rate.
This was a good read. Would Hope for some answers.
6 trophy runs, stock piles in shattered mt. And RW. 2 weapon schematics nothing else worth mentioning. Voidbent armor only one peice with a pearl. 2 pearls for my earing and ring. 2 luck bags. 2 basic luck trophies. Pvp flagged.
