since the last big patch where the PvP Luck Bonus has been introduced many speculations are going on about Luck working properly or not.
On one hand I was receiving a lot more harvesting stuff like Void Ore and Tolvium/Cinnabar. On the other hand it felt like the drops from creatures were better without luck (for example in Expeditions). At the same time opening chests is feeling better without jewelry luck.
So many rumours about something giving negative luck and/or not working properly which make me as a random player confused.
EDIT: I forgot to mention: How is it even possible for one of the bosses (not cilla or chardis) from Lazarus to not drop anything when I am nearly FULL luck (missing 2,5% for pearls in armor but everyhting else is on). That feels so unnatural and weird. I mean NOT EVEN A FREAKING POTION?
Please tell me, IS LUCK WORKING PROPERLY ON EVERYTHING?
Yeah that is what I assume and I want to bring this up again for the Mods and Devs to check this and give us a statement for what is bugged and what not
hard to trust ANYTHING works at this point i made a build around using ice block for a while then they nerfed it 50% … and now the perk doesn’t even work
Yeah I know that you roll on a table or scale. With “better” loot I meant the rarity and in chests there is no possibility to “not drop”.
So I went in Lazarus a lot of times (10+) and never got a legendary drop (not named) from creatures and in total most of the times it was infused potions or the green dust.
I then “turned off” my luck by not wearing the items and did another 5 runs. These runs felt so much better and I even did get 4 legendary drops (not named) in 1 run. That does not really feel right and the odds of that happening are also very small
Yeah sometimes it just be like that. Kinda hard to test the luck thing as it literally depends on luck lol.
Also a note: I wouldn’t slot pearls right now. Seen a lot of reports that pearls are overriding the armour luck bonus. Essentially you won’t be getting the bonus from the armour just the gem.
It seems very random. For example, yesterday, I mined 12 orichalchum veins and got 8 cinnabar and 11 tolvium, harvested around 25 wirefiber too and got 0 for phoenixweave, skinned around 70 mobs lvl +62 and 0 for runic leather.
Collect longer and you will definitely earn. Take 1-2 hours and you will surely get one. The game is so that you will not get over for 1 hour and then in 10 minutes you make up for it. There are theories that the amulet has a negative impact on the drop.
You also have to run PVP, which is as much as 30% of collecting, which is an exaggeration.
i can just tell one thing, i’ve head 4.9% , armor 5% , gauntlet 5% , pants 5%, shoes 4,9% , amulet 9% , pickaxe 8.1% , 3 small trophies, tier 5 food and i dont get anything from orichalchum, im getting crazy something isnt working as indeed … someone can explain ?
It’s not working, I’ve been testing out drop rates for myself. I completely removed my luck necklace and drop rates increased for me, as in some items weren’t previously dropping since 1.1 patch for me. Also I have since removed thee pearls from all items with a luck stat on it and it seems to have further increased my drop rate… Go figure? So simply put yes something is amiss.
yep i can confirm aswell, after i’ve removed my amulet as glka writed up there, my droprate increased , i can drop tolvium etc now , that i couldnt before !
i made a build around using ice block for a while then they nerfed it 50% …
