I was watching videos about how luck works. I am wondering whether this might be related as to why some people get it yet you have not gotten it?
So there is a roll of 100,000 sided dice in drops - maybe not all are like this, yet bear with me:
When you have no luck buff, you are rolling 000,001 to 100,000. If you raise your luck to 5k, you are rolling from 005,000 to 105,000.
If an item only drops from 102,000 roll, then anyone with 000,001 to 100,000 roll can not ever get it - their chance of getting it is 0%.
Because of this, I have decided to run every single piece of gear with 1.8 to 2.1% luck perk on it minimum (I don’t know if it goes higher, I am level 46) & opting to only use items with slots & putting a pristine pearl in every slot to add another 0.5% on top.
I haven’t started popping the foods I have been crafting yet & am still learning how to buff my luck more, but ever since I did this, I get a lot more weapons of higher tier & a lot more higher tier stuff when gathering or skinning etc.
I used to only get gray items & sometimes greens, rarely blue & now I notice more items per drop as well as more colorful drops. I get gems often from silver for example. I used to get none.
I think luck plays a major factor in your specific item in this way, though I cannot be sure & someone else should add to what I said to clarify for me as well. Teach us the way it works or correct whatever I said, or clarify where this explanation does apply, or where it does not. Thank you!
