    Default Big Luck 2012

    I know there are other threads that deal with this, but i decided to see what the reroll % was for the Bug Luck hat from 2012 because all the other threads have different %

    Overall I killed a boss 200 times

    Trial 1: Boss: Meathead
    9 out of 100= 9%

    Trial 2: Boss: Keeper
    17 out of 100= 17%

    So my overall reroll % was 13%

    This was done with BIG LUCK. The one with 2 3 leaf clovers

    From a dev post (from a WHILE back, i don't feel like searching the forums), Big Luck from 2011 has a 15% reroll chance, Bigger Luck from 2012 has roughly a 20% chance. Bigger Luck's actual percentage wasn't given a specific number, but we were told it was slightly more than Big Luck.

    Trying to find the __% of reroll by farming loot from boss 100 times while wearing a luck enhancement with x% chance to reroll is inacurate. You can actually have a 1% chance to reroll and not reroll even once out of 100 times, or you can get lucky and even reroll more than once. The point is, it's a random system that's hard to find the exact numbers with precision.

    No, I assumed they wouldn't increase it too much so as not to screw over people who bought the original Big Luck. That coupled with them saying it was only a little better than Big Luck lead me to believe around a 5% improvement sounded about right.

    Actually big luck was supposed to have a 12% reroll chance, while the only thing that was said about bigger luck is that it had just a tiny bit better chance for a reroll.

    Edit: included dev quotes about both big and bigger luck...

    however, when you run the odds over a large number, it should regress to the mean and give you a better idea of where it is. That is why the OP ran each for 100 tires, which is a great start.

    I always thought Bigger luck had a 15-17% reroll.
    It seems a waste of money to buy bigger luck when you can use little luck and get a percentage too lol
