<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Whether luck works or not isn&#039;t confirmed. SDF recently stated that &quot;it should work&quot;. If for whatever reason it doesn&#039;t work, we have a bug on our hands. <br /> <br /> But proving it doesn&#039;t work requires testing, which few people are willing to do rigorously as it takes a lot of effort.<br /> <br /> <br /> There have been numerous anecdotal experiences where people have been exceedingly unlucky. Promoz had a stream where he killed 70 Elite Skeleton Champs in a 440 Luck kit but received 0 keys. <br /> <br /> The odds of not receiving a single key in that span is on the order of 1 in a 1 million. That is, assuming luck works. If you assume luck doesn&#039;t work, the odds are a much more reasonable 11.8%.<br /> <br /> <br /> There are a few contexts that need testing: crush, unchained harmony, regular interaction/lock picking, and killing mobs. Regular Interaction and Lock Picking have very similar structures and presence in game files, so testing one is likely good enough for covering both.<br /> <br /> Repeating Promoz&#039;s attempt at Golden Keys is ideal for testing mobs since the supposed effect luck has on key drops is incredibly strong.<br /> <br /> The other contexts are harder to test though. There are no container loot tables where luck has such a strong effect as with Skeleton Champion and Golden Keys. So to make up for that one would need to collect a larger sample size for good confidence. <br /> <br /> <br /> An additional complication is that the devs have not confirmed the wiki&#039;s loot tables are accurate.<br /> <br /> We create them on a set of assumption that feels reasonable to us given what information we can find in the files. From playing the game and reflecting on anecdotal experience, the assumptions &lt;i&gt;feel&lt;/i&gt; correct.<br /> <br /> But there may be edge cases where we are wrong. So if you want to be completely certain, not only does a luck sample need to be collected, we also need a control sample too.<br /> <br /> <br /> As of yet no one has made an attempt to test luck rigorously.</div>
