| Luck; by Thodin and Xena Dragon |
Luck is one of the attributes
each player has. Luck is increased by wearing or equipping items that
have a certain amount of Luck attached to them. The amount of Luck
a player has has an effect on loot found on monsters killed by that
person. Luck affetcs one or more of the following:
- The number of magic items found on a monster.
- The number of properties on a magic item.
- The intensity of the properties on a magic item.
The higher one's Luck, the higher the amount and intensity of increases
will be. Luck is checked once for the number of items, once for
each item (to determine the number of properties) and once for each
property (to determine intensity). With a little luck you might
get a small bump in one of three mentioned areas, with lots of a
luck you might get a large bump in all three areas.
Some things to consider about Luck
- A monster will never drop more than the maximum amount of magic
items his loot template allows.
- Luck is determined by the person that did the most damage to
a monster.
- When most damage is done by a pet, summoned or provoked creature,
the Luck factor of the controller of that creature is used.
- Luck has no effect whatsoever on treasure chests, fished up
messages in bottles, town or dungeon chests, or power scrolls.
- Luck has no effect whatsoever when stealing items from monsters.
- Luck cannot make "low" level monsters give "high"
level loot. You will still need to kill the toughest monsters
to get the best possible loot.
