just what it says. Will hitting my luck statue improve my chances of getting ToTs? Not any specific one-- just make getting them faster.
This should be correct. Devs stated back in TOT1 that luck helps. I think it gives you more points. I remember I did best in TOT1 with my high luck tamer too.It gives you more points, but it's still up to the stupid RNG to decide whether you get a drop or not.
This is not completely correct, the ToT points are based off the fame of the monster, not how much fame you receive from the monster. And fame can be distributed also if more than one person hits a monster, either way you should receive the same amount of points no matter if you are teamed or not, I have not been able to test this with any ToT event, but since the other point systems are exactly the same as ToT I can say this is factual for Doom and legacy dungeons. Also you can consider it if you were to be partied while doing something and drop the party but only 2 out of 5 people did any damage, when you drop the 3 who did no damage would receive no rewards for anything that was being done during that time. Unless you know of an announcement that I am not aware of (this is likely) where they state you get pointed based on fame received then I would continue to go off how the game seems to be coded (I don't work there so everything is speculation =\) Of course it is completely possible that each monsters holds x amount of points and based on how much damage you do you will get scaled points, in this case teams would receive equal points no matter what while teamed? (I think, but then its questionable since if you were fighting a boss type monster and only 2 people did damage up to the monster having 5 hps and then the team dropped only those two get looting rights even if one of the other 3 gets that last hit, so I am not sure)Wife and I seem to do worse after partying.
My wild guesses (note: this is guess work from the limited observations that I have, do not take this as truth and if you have information that points to the contarary, please share, I am an extremely curious individual...):
AFAID, there's no system implemented for combining luck from different people. The Doom system uses the luck attribute from the person that did most damage. Perhaps that's the same here.
Or alternatively, since we know each individual has their own tally of points, they may have coded it in such a way that each person's own luck attribute only affects his own tally.
However, note that in a party, fame is shared equally (and remainders are probably discarded) between all party members. Since your TOT points tally is based off fame, this means:
1) you are getting less points
2) if the bonus points from luck is not a flat bonus, but instead scaled based on the fame you got from sharing a kill, this means you get even less points
That would explain why we don't do as well in a party.
Does that mean we should actually do better when partied?Party: The luck of the top attacker will be used.
BTW if you're attacking the same monster with multiple chars (partied or not), the top attacker will still get 100% of the points, but from 2nd-16th you get less and less. That could be the reason why you seem to have done worse because you're not getting 100% of the points all the time any more (I assume you're fighting the same thing together when partied?).
If you are skeptical try this... party up, bring your usual luck, leave one of the chars at home, and go kill something solo (while partied) and compare your drop rate after a couple of hours.
Yes, sorry, that's what I mean, if we party and both attack the same mob, we should get 1.5 times the points! Woot!Cloak‡1290503 said:attacking the same mob you have, lets say 1.5 the amount of points
Then yes it should work, of course everyone has an opinion on what actually works but as far as the devs have said about how the two systems work, this should workYes, sorry, that's what I mean, if we party and both attack the same mob, we should get 1.5 times the points! Woot!
*Runs to test*
From how I understand the system...Does that mean we should actually do better when partied?
Say a balron with 10000 points:
1. Top damager gets 10000 which is divided among the both of us,
2. 2nd person gets an extra bonus 5000 points that is split among the 2 of us,
So we each net 7500 points from 1 balron that would only give 10000 points if only 1 of us attacked it?
Here is FoF about 10th Anniversary artifact, but actually the same GRPS is used in Doom, 10th Anniversary and ToT, so this statement is also valid to ToT system(FoF: October 5, 2007:what about in a party? does the luck total combine?
You must deliver damages to monsters by yourself to get points for ToT arties, and your luck affects only your points."Does being in party affect the 10th Anniversary Event artifact drop rate?"
Actually being in a party does not affect the drops or the points given out out all.
Thanks for finding thatHere is FoF about 10th Anniversary artifact, but actually the same GRPS is used in Doom, 10th Anniversary and ToT, so this statement is also valid to ToT system(FoF: October 5, 2007:

This statement describes how luck affects in the normal looting. That is, luck increases "quantity and quality" of looted items. Luck doesn't affect the chance of getting items.I cant find the OP that draconi made, but i did copy it and post it into my shard forum, here's an exert..
A “luck roll” is defined as a roll against a chance of 1:100.
Before this roll is done, your luck is modified to fit that scale, so your luck directly converts to a percentage of chance that your luck will modify the loot.
The formula is: chance = round(luck ^ (5/9)). Results are rounded to the nearest whole number.
Luck Chance
0 0%
100 13%
200 19%
300 24%
400 28%
500 32%
600 35%
700 38%
800 41%
900 44%
1000 46%
1100 49%
1200 51%
1300 54%
1400 56%
1500 58%
This chance is evaluated as the RNG versus your luck. So if it rolls 30, and you have a luck result of 56, you win. The RNG can roll from 0 to 99, then tests whether its roll is less than your result.
I can officially verify that it’s impossible to “roll over” with too much luck, and not get anything.
I changed out peices of my suit that would not effect the rate that I would kill stuff much..just what it says. Will hitting my luck statue improve my chances of getting ToTs? Not any specific one-- just make getting them faster.
It all depends on creature fame and how fast you get the kills. Yesterday I was getting 12 and hour... that is about 1 every 5 minutes, but MAN is that busy. OH, and some 150K+ gold, too.0 luck, getting an artifact every 10 minutes or so.
