Ya know..it was very sweet of the Dev's to release another little prize with luck. It seems that we get about 1 or 2 items a year that lets us increase the luck on our hopeful suits. That is a very nice thing guys..the populace enjoys the "fetch me" scenarios you folks think up in a couple minutes of meeting time.
Now, there is nothing wrong with that except for one small item.....
Luck has been broken for several years. Wearing a luck suit does absolutely nothing and has done nothing for quite a long time. We all know it but still have the hope of "Say it ain't so Joe" syndrome abiding in all of us.
My friend and I can do Stygian Dragon very easily and it drops some decent loot, based upon the relics we get when we unravel it all down. Wonderful. That, of course, is killing it without luck at all. 0...zilch..not 1 little point of luck. We usually average 8-10 relics per load.
Now, I decide that I wanted to try it out with a luck suit, so I spend a good deal of time...and a TON of POF and other supplies making a sweet little max luck suit for the boy. How proud I was knowing that after hitting up a luck statue and sporting a very nice mana leech 160 luck composite bow that I would be downing this critter with around 3.7K luck if I got him down in perfection.
So off we go and everything goes according to plan. Slight problem though....
The loot completely SUCKED!!! It's quality was FAR inferior to killing it with no luck at all. This held true through 5 rounds, after which the luck suit found itself back in a chest..never to be used again until something happens to change our minds. We were getting 2-4 relics per load.
Needless to say, it was a disappointing affirmation that this system is so completely borked that one could rightfully say that it simply does not exist at all.

Have a nice day and discuss
