Higher luck increase drop rate?

Notakun · 12-15-2008, 01:17 PM

I've heard from my friends that earning a large amount of luck(a thief suit for instance) with the lucky guy/girl title will increase drop rate. My friend said that he earned Fomor scrolls from every Armored skeleton he killed while he done Albey red.

Is this true or not?

It should only increase your rate of critical and rate of getting lucky finishes.
Should not effect the drop rate of items what so ever.

Lucky Finishes include drop items, so it stands to reason that if you get more lucky finishes your bound to get more things dropping.

I've heard it ONLY influences Critical rate and nothing else...

I thought it used to influence Lucky Finishes, but I was informed otherwise, and thus completely gave up on my luck-heavy costume.

Mabi's luck stat is dumb. In Oblivion, it actualy affected everything and given that luck is hard to come by in mabi, it should give you better dice rolls with higher luck. Who knows though, maybe DevCat did make it like that and just doesn't tell us. However, I would suspect that it doesn't, but don't let that stop you from trying.

Lol... I seem to find that the lower my luck is, the more lucky finishes/drops I get. My natural luck must just be really high

Lucky finish rates go up.
The thief enchant spam said so, I get like 3 huge luckies per Math dungeon run.

Luck

* Luck affects the player's Critical hit rate, as well as the chances to score a Lucky Finish.
* Every 10 Luck adds +2.0% to Critical.

Chinese wiki #1
幸运(Luk)
　　影响Lucky Finsh、会心一擊、特殊獎赏等机率。
　　可以藉由等级提升、年龄增加以及研修相关技能来增加此数值。

Translate:
Luck
Affects rate of lucky finish, critical, special reward.
Obtained through leveling up and aging.

Chinese Wiki #2
Luck
此數值主要影響 Lucky Finish 、暴擊、特殊獎賞等機率。可藉由等級提升、年齡增加來提升此數值。

Same as above.

Conclusion:
Unless Item drop rate is part of special reward (which does not make any sense to me), it should not affect rate of item drop.

Lucky finish rate does not get altered. I have had 16 luck for like a week straight and I get lucky finishes big or huge as much as I do with 78 base luck. All it does is raises critical hit.

I seem to get more Lucky Fnishes with my "who Seduced a Succubus" title on then I used to with my x "Slayer with a Single Blow" titles, but that may just be me. I never used to get any big/huge ones at all, really, but since I've started wearing this title, I've gotten 3 or 4 Huge ones and too many regular and big to care to remember.
Dunno if that really means anything to anyone, but meh, the extra crit rate is enough reason on its own to love luck.
