i wear a 2980 luck suit ive opened 100's of chests and ive got nothing, i get artifact drops once in awhile but rest is just bags of gems and bandages..etc no rares no mature eggs, ive pretty much proven luck has nothing to do with it, people i know of who has gotten eggs and rares, either have no luck gear or very low luck, the other night someone with 150 luck got a mature egg.
I am wearing 1565 luck and I am getting a ton of drops and numerous eggs from the hidden chests. The RNG loves me so far. I did the Terathan Keep this afternoon and got 36 drops in less than an hour of play.
I'm wearing 2850 luck suit and have spent at least 8-10 hours a day (WFH so lots of free time between work stuff lol) and I've gotten 0 Mature Dragon Eggs since it released on Origin... think I must have the worst luck and feeling I'm gonna spend my whole time this event doing the chest 🙁
Personally I have felt like wearing a luck suit has never worked for me on this type of thing, whether it be this event or previous ones (even Khuldan). My thief template is very squishy with skill bonus items so using the luck suit makes it way more difficult to stay alive as well so I've abandoned my luck suit in favor of my thief suit.
The results are about the same for me as wearing the luck suit.... no "rare" drops but a mix of everything else. That would make sense; I do think that I read luck only helps getting the rare items to drop so the "other stuff" is just random regardless of luck (I believe).

I know from yearly chest hunting in Khaldun that it feels like too much luck results in diminishing returns.
It really makes me wonder if someone messed up the luck formula. Like say finding a rare is 1% chance and 2000 luck increases your chances 25%. Are they multiplying 1% x 25% and now getting g .25% chance? Instead of multiply by (1+ .25) for a now 1.25% chance? Someone go check the code. Confirm luck is a boost and not a detractor.
If we talking about "feels"
I can agree high luck on UO always felt "weird" when you don't think about it.
You do Bone Daemon in Doom with a dexer; no luck.. every ~20 Bone Daemon you had a decent piece of jewelry as a keeper.
You do it on a tamer full luck most items were TRASH but u'd get something very decent every ~100 Bone Daemon, if you were lucky.
(same logic of higher luck = more grind.. but for better stuff)
Like (random numbers) if you have 0 luck u could get 4 mods items with 30% max properties
With high luck u could get 6 mods items with 50% max properties.
The high luck items pool is just way bigger (with a lower random chance to be better).. wich explained that feeling of crappier loot and harder to get good items. Increasing the RNG range for better stuff, also increase the trash roll chances.
Before u had one chance on 30 to get max roll after it's 1 out of 50 with 2 more mods (almost exponential cuz of the added mods).. more room to get shitty mods/rolls.
Again, in both case (here for the rare stuff from chests) high luck increase your ODDS at getting the good stuff.. it does not increase your LUCK, some could say it's the opposite and it would make sense, imo.
Edit: same logic would applied to champion spawn with my experience.. A lot more trash loot overall with high luck tamers.. way less good keepers.. but once in a while (very rare) u had that automatic BiS (usually weapons) from a champ spawn with high luck.
Same logic as the chests one except u won't get the more trashy loots with lower luck.. wich is why people tend to run on lower luck.. but yeah your odds are better with higher luck for the rare stuff.
If you are lucky having 0,003 instead of 0,002 won't change anything for you.
You can see luck work when mining Niter. Do you start getting smaller deposits when your luck is too high?
No idea, I won't touch that cheaterbooster for the life of me.. it does what it was intended to do.. mainstream the automation of the inferior EC client.. burying the legit CC once and for all.
PS: BUT i can use my brain.. that pool u talking about is TINY. try to use that brain from time to time.
You increase your odds of max roll on a 6 face dice.. vs a 24 face.. vs..
Edit: nvm u don'T deserve a Popps explanation for my comparison with the trashier high luck loots while MFing.
Your niter pool is TINY compare to the rare stuff from chests. Try to feel a difference between 2 chance on 100k vs 3 chance on 100k.. vs 2 chance on 6 vs 3 chance on 6. (good old logic; 50% better odds)
Try the luck test now..
