Greetings Adventures!

I was wondering if anyone has did some light or intense testings to see what level Treasure Map would produce similar value loot as an Ancient SOS. Amusing the same Luck Suit was used for both.


Be blessed in all your adventures!

From my understanding LUCK has zero affect on the loot in the chest T-Map or SOS, it only affect the monsters spawned while doing them.

I thought that an ancient SOS was on the same level as a level four treasure chest.

I can attest that luck affects treasure chest loot - 2k luck gives much better loot vs 0. I haven't done any asos yet though!

I believe the changes came about in the loot revamp. Prior to the new loot system, luck didn't have an effect.

Also, there was the change to SOS scrolls when you opened them that was a welcome surprise when I started doing them again after a year or two of just sitting on them.

Brilliant! thanks for your feedback and I'm sure its close to 4 or 5.

As for luck, we did 2 ASOS's and my wife insist I put on her luck suit. We certainly felt like the luck suit improved the quality of items. We also pulled up the bikini top. Not to bad :)

Thanks everyone for your input and though provoking post.

Be blessed!
