Hey man love the videos! But could you turn your mic up a little, you're really quiet and I have other sounds on my computer going so it's hard to put you past YouTube maximum volume.
What about the the "adored" perks? I heard from another video that adored perks are bugged and are acting as negative luck, making it worse than not wearing it at all. These perks roll on amulets.
In the most respectful way possible. You’re voice is so soothing you should make an ASMR channel
Let me know what you guys think! Is luck working ? Is it bugged, do you think his tests are conclusive, or is there just to much missing data to draw a conclusion at this point. I love discussion and want to know what you think!
Wait minor luck trophies give 5%?
So the Minor mining luck trophy yields another 5% (500) to the roll?
I thought it was just .5% luck (+50)
From my own experience I've found luck food to have a much higher impact on drop rates than 1000 = 1% compared to my luck gear. 100 = 1% makes more sense to me. Regardless I'm gonna continue to focus farm materials with max luck rather than mixed farm even though its technically more time efficient.
Actually one of my theories was that if 1000 DOES equal 1% that there was an intended or unintended lack of stacking on reinforced luck. So basically the intent would have been to have a person wearing one of each type of luck gear while they're farming but also gaining the bonus from amulet + food + skill level. However the lack of being able to stack the different kinds of luck foods makes this type of thing unlikely to be intentional if it does exist.
100k stone with luck gear and luck food gave me 1 adderstone. Next day same amount to test but with no luck gear or food- 3 adderstone.
Fiber/Hemp even worse. One round usually gives me around 7,5k Fiber. I do one round each day. I can do rounds with no gear or food and get 20 times more greens and blues than with gear and food. For me it is absolutely bugged.
This game is dead.
To me if the loot table is based off a 100K roll and 1% luck is not giving 1k added to roll it is bugged. So either the tooltip of increased by 1% is wrong or their equation for adding luck to our roll is incorrect. So while his math may be correct that 1% luck is only giving +100 i do not think that means it is working as he implies.
I have been grinding for void ore for the last 3 days. I have a full luck set, luck food, and 3 minor trophies. I have 28 cinnabar and 16 tolvium and not a single void ore… Luck on this game is just as broken as everything else…
Hey man, if you want some honest feedback (just want to help see your channel grow) from around 5:45 ish onwards your voice in my headset sort of dips between one ear to the next? Like you're moving back and forth from your mic. It's kind of weird but thought you should know this was happening. Actually love your videos so please know, keep up the good work. Cheers
interesting to assume luck gets just added to your roll. i assumed luck would just increase the roll range from [0 to 10000] to [0 to 10000+luck] or also totally shifts the rolling range, sth like this [luck to 10000+luck]
i got a void ore with only mining luck on my pickaxe , around 870 luck if what this guy is saying , so idk how true this is cause u would need 1150 luck to drop void ore…
great voice, great info… but can you do something with the balancing of your audio? it honestly sounds like you're rocking in your chair as you speak. i kept getting heavy leans to the left audio channel as you were talking. Quite distracting
