Luck, for me anyway, is one the most arcane aspects of UO. We've had many discussions on these boards regarding luck and how it works and sometimes if it works at all. I have a very specific question regarding luck.
Does luck factor into fishing for Rare and Legendary fish.
I have met some fisherman who swear by their high luck suits when it comes to catching the Rare and Legendary fish. I thought I had heard or read somewhere that luck does not factor in this however. During our recent contest on Lake Superior I experimented for the first time with adding luck to a suit while fishing both with and without baits. While I fished A TON the sample I think might still be considered small overall. I did however experience something that made me wonder about luck for fishing.
In about 6 years of fishing I had never caught a Stone Fish. Hell its not even one that requires max skill to catch (documented catches with as little as 105 skill). For whatever reason it had always eluded me though. I put on a luck suit and of course caught one in less then 20 minutes. And this was without bait. I've burnt thousands of Stone fish bait in the past with negative results. Now I could be persuaded that this was just coincidence but the simple question remains:
Does luck factor into fishing for Rare and Legendary fish?
Would really appreciate and be grateful for a firm answer before I start rebuilding and imbuing luck on fishing suits.
