Please unify all gathering luck perks to one or make a UI where it’s easier to gear switch.
For drop luck there is only one perk. You could’ve introduced perks for each enemy type (Increases Drop luck by %x when looting corrupted etc.) but you’ve chosen a flat “luck” perk.
Which is totally fine.
But for gathering it really sucks to switch the gear with the bad inventory UI design. Give us at least an outfitter. Carrying much gear already has many negative issues - if you want players to use these items make them easier to use or unify the perks to one.
This way it’s really anoying to play the game when gathering stuff. Best thing is to do both. Or allow UI addons that are not combat related. The community can do something like Outfitter.
That would be the best option. But I didn’t dare to ask for that :).
I just wanted to point out how horrible the current system for players is. New world has many good aspects. But that is one of the worst for the player.
I made a post about this in general. Having an Armor Stand craftable that holds sets in a house and allows quick swapping of gear could be a HUGE game changer for crafters and gatherers.
It reminds me of “+% Magic Find” gear in Guild Wars 2 and how everybody used to run it in dungeons. They eventually removed all magic find things altogether, making it an account-wide bonus instead.
Magic Find things aren’t good because they tend to replace everything else and encourage leeching.
Tabs in inventory for quick swap, locked gear should NOT be for sale even if not equipped yet, weight should count for all gear that isn’t currently the active profile, additional section (or more customization) for items to be tagged as “sell”, as well as an indicator on the item’s icon to show it is BOP to prevent mistakes of overlooking the evergreen/teal text that denotes it at the bottom.
I always use +% luck gear in groups. I don’t look for other stats. Other stats don’t make sense in group content atm. When I’ve the watermark at 600 it’ll change…
EDIT: disregard my nonsense post. Even with watermark 600 %luck is the way to go - I forgot about the repair costs :). Need that gold from items badly…
