    Default Regarding Luck and Vanities

    I remember reading somewhere that luck elixirs don't affect vanities drop greatly. I would like to have a dev's word on this matter.

    I happily spent 300k on elixirs and now I'm broke so I want to continue farming without them and just wish to make sure I don't waste my time.

    I'm pretty sure you cannot re-roll for a vanity but what about pure luck of finding vanities, are the ''odds'' increased when you use a luck elixir?

    Thanks!

    I answered you that luck elixir only helps in Rerolling

    Are you 100% sure?

    I've looted serious ammounts of Pink Gems from bosses and Purified Fire Shards from mobs even without the re-rolls...Enough to think that Luck affects random drops.

    While on luck elixirs, only about 1% of my pink drops were without rerolls.
    STS refers to "luck" as rerolling. It's a static drop table, so changing odds isn't possible.


    I use elixirs to farm as well, not for the luck qualities, but for the added speed and ease of killing.

    Read the following carefully.

All of the other elements of the elixirs will still work the same way, and pink drop rates will come up to around 2% or so again like they were before luck elixirs existed in the game.

    I'm still toying with what I want to do to ADD to the game after taking away luck, but the new tier of drop and associated item has me excited at the moment.

    I guess I'm just being superstitious since my undead mask dropped with an elixir on.

    Haha!

    Can't say I haven't thought about that myself.

    ''Hmm, what if the game recognizes the fact that I have an undead mask on right now and doesn't want to give me another?''

    Well in that case can I run naked and have a higher chance at looting pinks and vanities?

    I don't use enhancers, and i do not get pinks or vanities. even focusing on just the one map or running all maps straight through 5 times in a row.

    Yup almost 30,000 kills and no pink gems, no vanities. I did get a pink weapon twice since the game became available, all my pinks and vanities come from the allies mission and the nightly and of course item packs. However, I have more blood blossoms than i know what to do with though seems i get one or two per map.

    For me at least its not lack of effort, i guess i just got one of those accounts that will never get anything good from a drop. I have killed
    hundreds of ghosts and they have never dropped a pink for me.

    Or maybe its waiting for that super ultra rare, nobodys got it item to come out and then i will finally get a drop and sell it for 100mil to some lucky farmer thats been stacking gold for a year. Lol

    With Elixirs I got approximately 10 Pink Gems and 15 Solstice Fire Shards from Dead Ends when I while I was farming. And that's under 3k kills total.

    Wow, I just removed my Undead for ONE run and I get a second undead mask on the first run without wearing an undead mask.

    I'm definately paranoid now.
