Conclusion: Amulet is working as intended.
Some of you might have never heard of the myth but it’s super common and popular in the community.

Thanks for this. Such a good channel.
12minutes yi I was here
Love how much work you put in ur vids keep it up and make this game better with ur investigations
Found your channel by accident, but I've enjoyed every bit of data you've put out. Thank you.
test luck and pearls now!
jfc how are you still sane????
i know it would be annoying. but its possible that with other bonus's equipped the devs eqation could break down. Doing a test with full set + food + trophy + amulet, etc vs the same set – the amulet. which is where other people who have done tests on sample sizes of 500 boars have potentially shown the amulet not working?? worth investigation.
great video either way man, alot of effort put in.
The rumour and numbers are mining. Skinning and monster/chest luck isn’t effected.
i believe there is a luck sweet spot.
I'll get 0 legendaries on my run with 32% luck but with 12% luck ill get 4 legendaries on my run. I think there is a luck sweet spot, too much luck is a bad thing and has negative effects.
If you go over a certain % you start getting shit drops
i farmed over 600 hides from boars "after patch"
i used amulet along with full luck gear the whole time other then 2 foods so 80 mins,i noticed i was getting less with the amulet off
Awesome 👏
If you log out with PVP flag on has anyone logged in outside town and noticed less luck?
Love the videos and your findings. Let’s be honest it’s all rng. People spend too much thinking about alll these conspiracies in the comments. I’ve found void ore pre flag patch with 0 mining luck on. It’s just random =] gl out there !
I have been doing the supply stockpile runs with full luck gear for 2 days and didtn get any trophies, did one run without and got precision engineering tools. I know it might be just weird luck but also i feel like i get upgrades lot more than before, havent used luck gear since… might be just weird concidence but i dont trust them lol
Some work and some don't? Not my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zak2QcuVvf8
I think the luck protection (where u if u havnt gotten a drop in a while it increases ur chances of getting one) and the equiping and dequiping sets for tasks, i.e. skinning set for skinning luck for chests, the interaction there is causing ppl to see wierd results from drops.
You always have the best info, I appreciate the hard work
Have to try it with the mining luck. I think the skinning amulet works, the mining luck does not. I mine orichalcum every day and this is what i have noticed
Nice 💪
Thanks for the mythbusting!
Thanks man. I actually believed this myth. You saved me! 😀
Thumb up! Thank you for your work
@ThatYiGuy good job. Just a thought- maybe the amulet gets the luck treashold too high? And that is why there is a thing of "Too much luck" that reduces certain material drop rate?
Damn dude, you deserve so many more subs than what you have. This is great work!
Man, you are dedicated, much love for all your hard work.

Great video. One suspicion ppl have is not just the amulet with luck by itself. One of the problems that MAY exist is that when taking luck gear on and off, what is the effect? With amulet and everything else, does it create a negative luck situation, such that it yields less with a amulet on? The cumulative luck amount is the potential issue. AGS has admitted that negative luck was a thing, and having too much of it caused problems. They said they fixed it, but there is no way to know since they don't show us our luck numbers. What if 11% luck, creates a situation were it goes to -1% instead? Dunno. I think this is what people are concerned about with an amulet. Not just the amulet by itself.
Thank you as always Yi. Really appreciate the dedication and increasing the sample size. That was my biggest concern with these rumors by far. Looking forward to your Discord.
Does this still work the same for looting luck?
Since you tested this properly with no extra luck, a negative luck on the amulet would have resulted in no drops, since the -890 you receive from the amulet would drop you below the legendary threshold (which you are only above because of your skinning level luck of 2000). Thanks for testing this properly!
There is a lot of evidence floating around and I thing a question still exists of: Is there still an issue with pushing your luck really high causing less drops due to weird roll ranges?
They said this was fixed, but a lot of people have said they dropped just the amulet from gear set and got better luck. Either only the unlucky people are vocal about the problem and people with moderate to good luck aren't participating in the converation because they have no reason to think there is an issue, or there still might be a roll range issue with high luck.
Once again I would just like to say thank you for these videos. You do amazing work.
