Getting ready to make a new suit for a character. Just wondering if Luck is still broken? What is the best level for Luck on a suit 1000, 1200, or 1400?

It's been stated it doesn't work as intended. No I don't have a link.
Luck does in degree get better loot. My Imbuer likes the results of a good Luck suit. I get more jewelry with 5 mods and better overall loot. I do regard most of it "Junk" for an imbuer. Just my 2 cents....
if a new rng goes in & luck gets reworked it'll be a better day.
I aint holdin my breath..........

I don't know if it works as intended or not but it for sure works much more than just a bit.

I really should just save a response on a note pad for each time this comes up, until it's corrected. :D

First up, Luck isn't broken- at least not in the way people seem to think that it is.

Here is the quote from Draconi, that he made just after he left EA/Mythic:
Luck is still fundamentally broken, I seem to remember. I think it's because the intensities of the loot tables aren't being taken into account because all the default values for the tables are below the threshold... some gobleydegook like that. So random weapons/armor/jewelry mods from monster drops are still going to miss the luck factor in some ways.
So, it is working except for this part:

The best level is the higher you can get, the better.

I will not speak for the whole community on this, only from my experiences with luck and loot. YEPP. it's broken, has been for a long ass time, and no nothing ever gets done on it. Honestly I can't remember any other Dev mentioning anything about luck (could have missed a post or two tho) other than Draconi's post about it, and that was like ummmm THREE years ago or so. :sad4:

I have a luck suit that is 1400+ and I leave it in the box for storage until they actually fix it. I have found there is a sweet spot at 775-825 range. I get better bumps when I am in that area.

Then again I have heard those lately that theorize somehow the accounts themselves could be glithced and be unlucky.

All that being said, I would experiment with different levels of luck and see if you notice a sweet spot for you. I can tell you that with RNG being like it is real life luck plays a part. Babble did get that right :thumbsup:

Luck is working fine, you either have it or you don't
:p
