Summary (Update Section)
Month 0 to 1: reaching 60 and get 590gs on weapons/armors.
Month 1 to 2: basic loot gear + 3x Minor Loot Luck Trophies, No pearls. I dropped 4 named legendary items 600gs from few dungeon runs (15-20). In every elite chest run (Shattered + Reekwater) i got 1-3 legendary items.
Month 2 to 3: Upgraded luck gear, every piece of armor and jewelry 2,8% + pearls, 3x major loot luck trophy, Sword and Shield with luck. Bags 2,4-2,5% luck. 1 named after 40-50 dungeons run, reduced the drop rate close to zero in elite chest run (Shattered + Reekwater + Ebonscale after winter patch)
2 days ago: i removed all pearls, 1 amulet, 1 major loot luck trophy, sword + shield and 1 piece of armor. 9 dungeon runs to get 3 legendariy 600gs named items and 4x random legendaries. In one elite run (Ebonscale + Shattered) i got 2 legendaries (they had been extremely rare to drop for me in elite runs).
Full post
Basically i have been running in the first 1-2 months after reached lv 60 with luck gear. In the first months i dropped “a lot” after hitted lv 60. I mean, i literally dropped atleast 1-3 legendary items in every run elite chest (Shattered + Reekwater). In 3 days I had the possibility to literally cap my luck without bags (2,4-2,5%). I dropped/bought trophies items, pearls, jewels and armor to do it. After one month i can swear that luck is bugged.
During this month i made a LOT of dungeons, 3-5 every day, and basically every day i made the elite chest run (with this patch we added also Ebonscale and sometimes Malevolence). In dungeons runs i dropped one, just one, named items legendary (Weaponmaster’s Chosen from Lazarus) and basically nothing else legendary. My drop rate in elite chest run went down basically to zero. Two days ago i read some posts in reddit/forum about it. I decided to remove ALL my pearls, 1 amulet, 2 pieces of armor and 1 major loot luck trophy. Why? Because someone said that the problem was caused by trophies, others referred to pearls T5, and others tought that after a certain number of luck your droprate goes to zero (like what happened with gathering luck fixed in a patch).
So, in the first day I tought “I’m just losing money, it’s just luck”. I removed x5 pearls, 1 armor slot, 1 amulet and 1 Major Loot Luck trophy, and then i made 5 dungeons. In these 5 runs i dropped 2x legendary Woodswardens 600 gs, 1x legendary Higher Purpose, and 2 600gs legendaries random drops. Insane compared to every dungeon run made before. Basically one legendary every run. I did not made the elite chest run because I went out for New Year’s Day. Today I made 4 Lazarus run, I dropped 2x random 600gs legendaries and, during the elite chest run, also 1x legendary bow and 1x legendary old ring, but during this run i used PVP gear (without luck set and 2 trophies) because we tought to fight. 2 legendaries with no luck, ok.
I know what statistics and probability are, i also know the roll system of luck and how it works. So i know that these 2 days are not a good pool but i also know that, atm, it seems extremely broken. I reduced luck to get A LOT more in less time. Maybe I was lucky in the second month (with less luck), extremely unlucky in the third one (with more luck, close to cap), and in this 2 days my luck came back (with less luck)? For this reason i’ll try to update this post everyday from now to a conclusion.
P.S. one of my friend had the same drop rate of mine, really close, but with 3x minor trophies. After i explained to him the “tips” reported in various posts he decided to remove pearls from armor. He re-started to loot legendaries in dungeons and elite runs like me.
