Thread: Implement a luck stat in 2.4/2.5!

Not with achievements. Achievements have nothing to do with luck.
A better idea would be +1 luck everytime you roll 99 at a endboss loot.

"never" is not the nature of RNG, if the droprate is anything greater than zero, which it is. Let's just keep that point clear.

Even the most unlucky crafter can eventually get their pentameld crown.

Roughly 11% of the relics "possible to earn" were earned by the end of 1.0.

If you assumed 1 relic per character and no more, that number is more like 7.5%.

Why so low?

Hamlet stage was an RNG roadblock. It may have been just as easy, but it often took longer to get 1 than some lucky people can get 12 atma.

People whined it was too difficult, and guess what? they removed it as a requirement, but they kept the beastcoins, the ring/finger/other components, each with their own conditions, including some rng.

Then they removed all of that in 2.0, and we ended up with a penalty for such an easy zenith to earn: It is now not a top tier weapon.

If you want easier, be careful what you ask for. They may nerf relics thanks to your inability to patiently earn, OR ignore and move on to just as accessable future content.

Second, I don't want to have to spend dozens of hours to get the gear/materia/consumables that will ultimately increase my drop chance from 0.01% to 0.015%

I think that's a bit of an odd statement. This is an (MMO)RPG, where random events/situations are part of the very core of the genre itself. That's like going into a shooter game, disliking the action aspect of it, and claiming it should remove that aspect of it (or something ridiculous like that). You're in the wrong genre of game if you feel RNG shouldn't be a part of the RPG game you play.

It improves drop rate? Here and now I declare all other stats than luck dumpstats!

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 %.

This is absolutely brilliant, much better than my idea.
