I know that this topic has been discussed and cleared multiple times as inconsistent (the general Luck topic).
However, i just wanted to understand briefly if anyone has even had the feeling or wasting money on a full Luck gear set + gems + S&S + Trophies (Maxed out) while trying to maximise the amount of Golden Scarab in a single day?
A week ago i had a couple of kk to spare and i decided to full commit to the Gear/Weapons in order to complete the luck set.
Once i started a week ago (27/12) to run every chest that gives you Golden Scarab drops, i noticed that i completly stopped dropping them.
I do know that Scarabs are a chance/possibility of drop and not a regular thing that after an “X” amount you get one.
I just wanted to understand if anyone had the same feeling or experienced the same by upgrading the set from a 3xTrophies (max) and full jewelries & gear to full gems & weapons too with luck.
Thanks everyone - please do not start the same argument that luck is “bull***t”.
I do not need that
Luck is odds in your favor, not a guarantee of yield.
I wear the same luck set doing my brimstone chest run.
I had my 2 best days on Monday/Tuesday this week - 6 scarabs from sulfur chests Monday and 7 on Tuesday. Crazy days.
Since Wednesday, I’ve done sulfur + world tour each day and have gotten a total of three scarabs. Not 3 per day, just 3 total since Wednesday. I wear the same gear, it’s just RNG.
At the end of the day, it is absolutely NOT worth it to wear luck when scarab farming.
The time it takes you to equip all the gear and redo your stats is already not worth the amount of extra find luck gives you. (almost none).
Luck is WORTHLESS in New World until the devs wake up.
Or to put it another way:
If you have all 625 max luck gear with pearls in everything and max trophies, you will get 1 extra scarab for about 120 scarabs found.
So the guy who has 0 luck will have 120 scarabs over a 2-3 month period of farming everyday. Whereas the guy wearing full luck will have 121 scarabs over a 2-3 month farming period.
Kinda a weird take when you can wear full luck gear and just pop 1 incense to do all of the acid chest farming. Why not wear luck gear? Even if its 1% better chance thats 1% more scarabs.
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,
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?
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?
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.
