Thread: Implement a luck stat in 2.4/2.5!

I propose the following. A new tab under Character > Achievement > Fame

Here you can spend the achievement points you've earned to gain traits. These traits are mainly there affects our luck rate in the world of Eorza.

These traits allow for the following suggestions OP has mentioned.

Open world.
Increases Monster Drop rate by 2%/4%/6%
Increase Monster Gil Drop rate by 2x
Increase Monster HQ Drop rate by 1%/2%/3%
Increase FATE Seal and Gil reward rate by 2x
Increase Leve Treasure Coffer Appearance Chance.
Increase Beast Tribe Allagan reward by 2x
Increase Treasure Hunt minion Reward rate by 2%
Increase Chance: Rare Retainer Ventures Rewards
Increase Gathering HQ rate success chance
Increase Crafting HQ rate success chance
Increase Rare Transmutation Materia success (Materia IV/V)

Dungeon, Raid, and Trials
Increase Rare Coffer Drop appearance: 2% chance of being rewarded the 2nd and 3rd treasure coffer in raids and trials. (Ex: Acheron's 3rd Coffer in CT and the 2nd and 3rd Coffer in Levi Extreme)
Increase Monster Gil Drop: .25x/.50x

PvP
???

There can also be other more unique implementation but for now this is the idea I propose that can tackle luck of low drop rate %.

Anything is possible. If Dev team agrees they can have last word because of balancing.

The luck thing is already there inside the game, from atma drop chance, gil dropped by monsters in dungeon, chance of getting excellent/good during crafting success, gathering HQ etc. If they really implement a number to show how much luck someone has, it's gonna get judged like ilvl and player skills, you'll probably be seeing messages like "LFM Primal EX fight, high luck or kick" or "this FC recruiting static members of XXX luck for better insta coil turn kill chance" or even "I don't want you to craft my item because your luck is too low, you'll get alot of Poor conditions on my 3star materials".

and I prefer achievements to be just achievement that gives out item reward rather than a luck point, as well as commendation becomes something that allows us to get exclusive items. If people achieve something solely on the reason to get more luck and not accomplishments, they'll become more aggressive in getting it asap and slams whoever becomes a burden to their 0.00001% luck boost.

Just my opinion, I'm not saying the luck idea was bad as it was used in other older mmo but I think the players would prefer something more constant and fair (like everyone gets to roll the 100-sided dice without influence from anything) and not from achievements, stat builds etc that will greatly change the way people play this game.
