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:

  1. The number of magic items found on a monster.
  2. The number of properties on a magic item.
  3. 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.
  •  Loot obtained from monsters, SoS Chests, Treasure Chests, Dredging Hooks, and as Quest Rewards will be influenced by the luck of the individual getting the loot.
  • 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.
  •  Loot obtained from Dungeon Chests and Khaldun Puzzle Chests will have loot influenced with a random luck value between 0 and 240.
  •  Loot generated in Felucca has a 1000 point luck bonus applied to it, as well as bonuses to budgets used in item property generation

Transient and occasional luck boosts

A boost lasting for one hour can be gained once per day (24 hours) from the 10th Anniversary Statue. This boost varies according to account age, minimum being 200. An additional 50 luck is gained for each year of the account age, as shown on the character’s profile.
A luck boost of 400 luck for 30 minutes is one of the blessings possible from the Fount of Fortune, a similar, though lesser, blessing can sometimes be obtained by paying the Sphynx 5000 gold, if you receive the message ‘Fate smiles upon you this day’, your luck will be boosted by a figure between 1 and 80 for 24 hours.
Samurai obtain a short boost when reaching Perfection

Luck – a practical overview

Chance that loot value will increase
for a given value of luck
Luck translates directly into a
percentage chance to get a bump in number of items, number of
item properties and property intensity when looting a monster.
The following formula is used;Chance of loot value bump = luck^(1/1/8)

A monster has two types of loot, that which is generated at
spawn (like gold, equipment carried, etc) and that which is
generated upon death via the average luck of the party which
is credited with the kill.

Luck value required for a given percentage
chance of loot value being increased
For a desired chance to raise loot
level, the luck required may be derived via the following formula;luck required = (chance to raise loot level)^1.8
Chance of loot bump Luck required Chance of loot bump Luck required Chance of loot bump Luck required Chance of loot bump Luck required
