Only asking this due to i built myself a modest luck set (36% Luck) which seems to indicate I’ve got about a 1 in 3 chance of looting rare items from chests. That said, it seems like all my chest runs end up giving me roughly a 90% chance of getting a green (solvent, for example) and i hardly ever see a purple or orange.
After building my Luck Set about a month ago, I’ve been doing solo chest runs and tons of “World Tour” runs and have seen one total orange.
Now, to be fair… maybe oranges are just “that rare” and, if so, I’m ok with it but i thought I’d ask others opinions qho have perhaps been using luck sets more than I.
Fair enough. I was just taking the wording of what Luck is supposed to do ingame at face value. If it’s explained one way, yet actually works a completely different way, I didnt realize that.
The percentage you see in game divided by 10 is the actual luck increase you receive. That luck applies to the first roll done when killing a mob or looting a chest, which determines the loot bucket you get something from. Luck does not affect which item(s) you get from each bucket, just helps you get into higher tier buckets.
Well… I don’t have any real ability to measure if it’s working correctly or not but am eager to see what happens once i hit 590+ Expertise (i already have 600+ gearscore) and when i toggle on pvp and try looting monsters and chests.
I know they said that pvp luck bonus doesnt apply to dungeons because there is no pvp threat but as far as i onow luck works in an expedition. They even use Marl as an example
To be completely honest with you NO ONE knows how the f luck in this game works not even the devs…
I haven’t played for a while so it might have changed but there used to be a problem that if you had too much luck aka whole gear, luck weapons, trophies and jewelry you were literally robbing yourself of luck and applying debuffs to yourself
Idk if ^ is still the case but since it was you can see that luck in this game* doesn’t work how you would think it should.
We don’t really know if luck working as expected but what we know it’s luck is not working like we think.
It’s not more luck you have more chance you have to loot something
It’s working like steps to access a loot table where an item is.
For exemple, a lengendary item is in the loot table 3, you need to have 30% luck to access this loot table
In this loot table 3 there are your legendary and some others items with each have a random chance to loot which you can’t modify by anything.
So you can have enough luck to access the loot table 3 but spend 3 days to loot your legendary at 0.00001% chance to drop
It does not work like that. There are lot tables like this
1…10 - item A
11-20- item B
21-50 - items C
51-100 - item D
And you roll a 100 dice. What luck does it does add to the result. Lets say you rolled 45 - you sohuld get item C. But sine you have luck bonus it might att +20 to result, so you are 65 and get item D.
It kinda works like this. That why sometimes to much luck it bad. Since items yo uwant are not last in table, but lets say round 80,
not even the devs…
