It was said some time ago how much percentage of scarab drop you get acid pools and how much you get with maxed luck gear. Difference is very small but even if it increases this chance by 0.4%+ then in my opinion its still worth to use luck gear. Remember that you won’t be able to verify that easly. It will be still pure luck based. Sometimes you will get 0, sometimes you will get 5. Gear luck set slightly/barely increases this chance.
I just got 8 scarabs today. So I do not understand why it did not drop for you. In Barri, the prices of scarabs are cheap like 2.6k each because too many golden scarabs,
Based on nw.guide
Luck does help, it’s just a very small amount. The difference between going ZERO luck and almost 50% luck is 3-4 more scarabs per 100 chests.

Just looking at this thread made me sick at my own horrible RNG. I’ve never gotten a single golden scarab since brimstone’s launch. I mostly just run the solo grave offerings route starting at the wall then follow up with the acid pools doing that a few times a week, puts me at roughly 300 grave offerings a week looted for the past 10 weeks or 3000ish total without once looting a golden scarab. Someone who enjoys math want to give me the probability of that occurring and when I can expect to finally loot one?
film that pls ty
Does not matter I have luck only in bags and normal luck trophies in houses + pvp flag because I always look for some fights durning this. In average 2 scarabs/day and I do only Acid chests.
Do you have a link to it perhaps? I cannot find it in the website.
EDIT: found it. However, PvP Flagged shouldn’t add any Luck since it’s only for gatherables (Logging, Mining, Harvesting and Skinning) since at least 10 patches ago. Or am i missing something?
It should also add global luck, or am I missing something?

It’s just random and hardly noticeable . I wouldn’t spend money on luck trophies or gear. (Other than bags). If you get luck drops cool use them. l
I use the PvP flag on to compensate for not being able to use food luck (Turkey dinner/defiled feet) in the website’s calculations.
But it was just to show what almost +50% luck bonus impacts to the odds.
where is that web to calculate luck? or link instead

not sure how long it takes YOU to change gear, but armor/weapons/jewelry take me about 10 seconds. Plus the Christmas gear can match your current stats so there’s no real need to respec either.
There is no way, absolutely no way you have not looted a single one…
I almost always get one a day minimum just doing acid pools, sometimes I get none but thats quite rare. Is your account actually broken?!
Maybe my account is broken I’ve really never looted a single golden scarab. I’ve played somewhat consistently since launch, so I have a legacy character on El D and I have a 60 on Isabella fully played through brimstone on both of them.
I had more scarab on the week i didn’t wear luck. I felt even surprise about it. Got between 2 to 5 per days.
my best run I got 5 with no luck gear but I have luck trophies and PvP was on…
on another run I got 2 stacked decks with full luck gear and PvP on + Trohpies…
sometimes luck is noticeable other times not so much…that the mmo curse of RNG
I had 1 to 4 per full Brimstone chest run, a few runs in a row. I crafted luck equip and used it and didnt get a single one in 6 full chest runs with my luck equip…
The game design around luck is quite annoying. Its a topic since launch…

I have def had an issue with “effects” when changing armour/weaps, had effects from 2 shields at one point really weird, changed shields again and one of the “perks” dropped. I suspect a lot of the time people equip Luck Armour and it doesn’t actually take effect, just my opinion. Most likely why they don’t actually display your current luck status 
Def worth making a set of VB with those anti acid patch thingies (HvY user). You do tend to get a rise in scarab drops, when I used to play got a couple of scarabs a run using that when luck does kick in.
Game boring mess now unfortunately, given up on it. 
i wanna say the percentage change is from like 7% to like 7.5%
