Aligns with what people in my old company and I found back when we tested it. Did a bunch of runs with high and low luck and the general consensus was that it either made no difference or possibly even made the loot worse. For all I know, it may very well work but the increase is so incredibly minor that you'll never notice - which is weird considering the heavy emphasis New World seems to put on luck with all the luck gear and trophies.

FYI, 2.9 luck on gear score 619 item is NOT the same amount of luck as 2.9 on gear score of 625. The display value is round and show to us as percent but in game engine is really a real number which go up with every gear score value. You're close enough.

I have a healer and a dps build and I tend to find that if I do more damage I get the best loot in the group. Also I have found that if I really want something and it hasn’t dropped in 20+ runs just change weapons and it seems to drop straight away.

prime content like the usual, thank you for being awesome! :)

so 30k for a major luck trophy is like throwing 30k in the toilet?

This is why I hate a LUCK type stat in any game. Single player or otherwise, it will always be a struggle to choose gear when you have to choose between a higher quality loot drop chance or better anything else.

I love your videos Baggins. I have barely no luck gear and I got sagacious helm and Isabella’s Rapier, Sun Rise Kiss and the Tower Shield. 😂

There is a post on Devblog saying luck is working fine and there are no "sweet spots".As for me I still believe some ranges can be bugged/not working as intended.

Can someone explain to me what are considered “named mobs” and “named weapons” please?

I use to run 1 major luck trophy, and 2 minor and got loads of drops. Since I've upgraded to 3 major my luck has dramatically dropped. Not seen any mats in weeks. Gonna keep my 2 majors and take them off and revert back see if my luck picks back up.

How you selected the free area of the sacred ground skill without be bounded with another character? 2:10min

Does NW have a pity system? If it does, a mid-high luck could actually be hurting your drops.

Pang doesn’t really drop much for me either, think 3 items over all from all my runs, I did get gloves for both sets

Put pearl into the weapon make me dying😂

Would be cool if chain nature could heal allies as well

I normally run 3 minor trophies, 3 bags with luck, and one - two pieces of armor with luck... Normally one. I've run tempest 3 times thus far and two of those runs have been without killing the last boss. I've had 4-5 named items each run with several Legos as well... I still feel that too much luck nerfs what you receive even though it's not supposed to apply to expeditions.

Hey baggins not sure if your heard or not but a few weeks ago they was actually work done on to improve Realm Royal servers

I don’t trust luck in New World. I still remember the shit show for fae iron, petrified wood, etc. from release where increasing luck reduced the chances to drop and luck above a certain point removed it from the loot table… It needs a complete overhaul as you say in the video

Hey can you update this vid, i have full luck trying to drop the luck bow from Baines, and 200 kills after, NO DROPS. my wife with half my luck dropped the bow 3 times and 2 glowing sap(same 200 kills).

Heyyy thank you for update :D

It’s the Indiana Jones build, 😂 you are a treasure hunter, maybe short round can join you. But really, it’s for harvesting and chest runs to get juicy trophy items. I get a loaded dice per day running full luck on chest runs in Brimstone Sands.

I hesitate to sell my major loot luck trophy since the day I do is the day they fix luck lol

Like most games there’s probably diminishing returns like if you add it all up instead of getting 40% luck you’re probably only getting 8%

as for dungeons or mob drops i am unsure on luck. as for chests i can guarantee max luck is useful. i wear full void, all luck jewelry and weapons with pearls in everything. luck on bags and 3 majors. i pull about 1-3 trophy mats per day usually.

I think this experiment needs to be renew, idk if the result would be different

is that the legend of zelda lofi playlist XD

Honestly since buying 2 majors I haven't noticed any difference. I defo think loot luck is bugged and needs looking at by the devs.

Was talking to people in company about this very thing I think the luck gear is purely for open world bosses and chest. Dungeon runs just run your max stats build to make it faster. I think dungeons are purely on your GS as long as you have your GS maxed you’ll eventually get your set your looking for by just running the dungeons. There times I’ll get 2 or 3 pieces of heavy, and other times I’ll get cloth or med. Just my opinion. Luck in open world though is way better have gotten a lot of legendary materials and the item your trying to camp mob for. 🍻

Im new player but i love your channel because you good player

I did tempest a few times and i got all the named items with 0 luck ahahah plus i did tempest the other day and got 5 named items...luck doesn't count...i think it makes it worse

The tool tip for the turkey leg is wrong it’s 0.5% luck I thought I saw on a different screen

Can u give realm another chance? It’s games have gotten busier again. Thxs

I know this is old but I only use luck for chest runs and I significantly saw a difference immediately. I’ve played 2k hours as well so I’m not some confused clown lol.

It's all arbitrarily lol. Great effort though. This is a perfect representation of how consistent luck is in New World! Or should I say inconsistent 🤔

Yeah, a single run is nowhere near sufficient sample size, I think you need at bare minimum a hundred runs, preferably more, to measure the effect of luck. And you'd have to do the sample twice, once with Luck, once without. Then there's the fact some tests (with gathering luck) suggest luck has diminishing returns, where the majority of the effect is given by the first points of Luck. So having some Luck is beneficial, but enormous amounts of Luck is only marginally better. Also, if you can clear the dungeons faster without Luck gear, that might provide more benefit than marginally better rolls, since you get more drops per time. Then again, most people probably don't care about such an intangible benefit anyway. I think your video demonstrates this pretty well.

yes

Didn't know luck worked in dungeons

The luck system in New World really sucks. It's always a let down for me

The 617GS is not the maximum luck percentage btw the luck stat shown on gear will round up the shown value to the nearest tenth, 617 isn’t actually 2.9 it’s something like 2.854 or some where in between; 625 is 2.9% “actual”

Bro I miss Realm Royale

What game is that

I bought my major loot luck trophies for 500 each and I still feel like it was waste of money :D I have opened like milion chests and I have never got anything good... and then there are some people that find 3 golden major trophies materials per run :D at least that's what I saw on reddit

Luck yes work until you go too high with % to win dice how is work is different luck levels opens rarer items like dice but if you go too craizy with that % its can get worse if you entered to win dice %. Drop rate all items drop 80% and if you want lot money with stacked deks stay at T4 trophys and 600gs 2.8% on gear bags 2.5%. Jewerly yes its reduce lot if go legendary stay with rares 2.7% Major loot trophys not help you will see setbacks. And dice you can get with t4 trophys no need t5 only issue with that is more % you have higher tier items you can get and its marked tiers each tier is own luck % on specific items. Same with housing items you get storage chests yes but more % you get more tiers you unlock but too high% can reduce some other drops best thing is put all to paper and each week test you find out what is best % and if even needed t5 trophys because drop on rate is -80% if stick all maxed out If you get t3 trophys stay on 600gs lowest possible % you start getting legendary stacked deks if you have lucky sword and shield. I recco test things step by step put % to paper and increase % very slow until its start happening. But yeah test yourself what works for you. DIfferent luck % have own items sit there. If loot hits that % you get armoring tools if you increase % you not get anymore maybe these then you probably get stacked deck but all that drop rate difference is around 1-2% diffenence depends what you need you not need pvp flagged or craizy music buff and rabbit foot is just waste of coins and no effect all is what trophys you have slotted and what % you have on gear. But this is possible with with shards jump beetwen few % 1% difference can change game. Luck% is like ladder you can go up and down. Also important stay out of combat eat food to heal up it will change if healt bar is red dont open chest you are more lucky i healt bar is white open only chest if no agro at all 2 attempts can ruin luck. but yeah game is sometimes bugd too. Switch beetwen 2 weapons sword shield have more effect. To get lucky haveto grind weeks to figure out maybe takes months before you get clear picture whats going with luck. I think more issue on this that game not activate luck properly items sitting at own % and haveto crit chest to win item thats whay its makes grindy maybe not work properly too because chests waiting player input when its calculated and have many more issues because some % you get more epics then legendarys. There is probably day limits each day is different its not always same maybe even some period ot time gets limit because i do chest runs 2-4 times a day if in first run or 2 nothing drop i not do this same day if i see drops i do same day maybe 5-7 runs. But for sure each day droprate is different.

So this is why everyone complains about the luck lmfao. I get stacked decks etc with like no luck gear on. There must be a negative effect or something

The luck in this game is bull shit! Been farming infernus for 3 days, 7 hours plus each day with full luck gear, jewelry and trophy and still haven't got it

Obviously Luck don’t work on dungeon it’s a rng base on ur lucky ness not actually a Luck from gears it only work on stockpile I believe so it give more chance of dropping name item Dungeon there is a lot of name item it would be easy get with luck and that’s not fun At all

Luck is BS!! IM FULL luck 700+ h of game running chest runs all the time never saw stack deck or any trophy material Lego...... So explain DEVS??? MY account bugged?

I spent 30,000 gold on Luck Trophies, plus a gear set all with brilliant pearls...I see no difference in the loot. I think luck is simply a waste of time.

I find that the best luck is around 10-15%. In other words some passive luck from ur bags and trophies is good enough. Luck in new world is more like a scale, if u go over you won't see good returns

your video is a proof that luck is broken...

No

The luck is a lie

it's called luck, you have to do something thousands of times to see the difference.

can i borrow some gold

You can't "calculate" the random... Even with millions of runs you will get just an approximation as there are no flat values and every time it is RNG. I just don't get why people refuse to understand it.

2 Bad Luck dont work on Dungens ..... Sad Content ;( only bags and Trofys Works on Dungen.

Luck doesn’t work inside expeditions.

i did more than 300 genesis run , with 3 major loot luck and 3 bag luck and 2-3 luck on gear over last year , i got zero legendary infamy :) i really dont feel okay to unequip my major trophies :) but its painful to play the game and getting worst times over and over :) 100 run of that boss who drops glowing sap and got non . 80 run for human idol and got non and many many other things like this . i got zero times rewarded for having those expensive majors loot luck for this much long :) before alllll of these merges i had them :) when it was actuly EXPENSIVE :) RARE or what ever we can call it :)
