Luck Statue boost duration

Can this be tweaked a little please ? I believe it's 1 hr if I"m correct ? That's a pretty narrow window. Would it really be a game breaker if this were bumped to 4-5 hrs ? I"m not fortunate enough to have a 2400 suit, so I rely on the statue to put me at a level where I at least feel like it will have a positive impact. It's bad enough I'm not getting the 1k felucca bonus and that the perfection bonus has never worked (imo) adding insult to injury is the "your luck just ran out" when I never really felt it in the first place.

Did Luck ever work?

Also the statue is just another example of how UO has never understood how long cooldowns should be vs uptime.
thats the question.. i doubt it ever did proper...oh well let folks mix the suit with luck for no gain...

Everything is about Items and properties and trying to get the perfect suit. That's not the old uo. Lets get back to the pre aos item system. So you don't have to think about the cooldown of the damn statue.

Thanks for not giving this the time of day BS, I shouldn't have to (@) everyone in the company, as paying customers, with only Stratics available to all of us, you should be reading this daily and responding accordingly. But I'm sure that's asking too much.

I've not seen any issues with luck or any reason to make changes to the way luck works in-general. In that regard, leave everything as is.

I do concur about the Luck Statue timer... 60 minutes is a short amount of time. Either make the boost last longer (2 - 4 hours), or make the cooldown much shorter (6 - 8 hours).

The cool-down should just be removed. It doesn't stack if you use the statue again anyway.

My loot always got worse when I used the my luck statue anyway.

I'd be good with this. If someone wants to carry around the luck statue for 100% uptime, why not let them.

I would go 2 hours on the luck statue with a 6 hour cool down.
