Noticed that all males have 3 star luck today according to the frontpage! Is this accurate? Any reason why? Any of you females upset?

It happens. There have been days with no one having 3* luck, and days with only females. Randomly distributed pattern != reason to baaaw.

There's waaaaay more female characters than male characters in-game anyway.

Today's luck is quite unique. It's rare to see male-only max luck. In fact, except for all race/gender max luck, I don't remember seeing all-male max luck before.

Rememeber in March, all females had 3* luck for a day, and all males had 0?

This is the same thing.

Its because men have that whole "penis" deal isn't it? Freakin men and they're tangle berries and they're "Long Johns" and they're need to put it in a squishy hole!

Oh well...back to the Casino for me....

I knew that there must be more to this than dumb luck. Thanks for the info! Always nice to learn something! I find it comical that "Boys Day" is a national holiday and "Girls Day" is not!

Happy Boys day!!

They did change the name. Clicking the link brings you to the article "Children's Day." Until recently, it was known as "Boys' Day" though. And like I said, "Girls' Day" was back in March.

Sort of how Valentine's Day is when girls give gifts, and a month later, on White Day, boys reciprocate.

Are there any sites with statics on the luck distribution running back to launch? I've always joked that female characters are favored in luck and male humans in particular are the unluckiest. I'm curious if my superstition is true or not

I'm curious if my superstition is true or notMale humans have had more 3* than most lately, male humans are probably 1 of the luckiest since this game started.

ST is giving a little gift for Children's Day (formerly Boy's Day") so all male characters get 3 star luck. I think on Girl's Day all female characters had 3 star luck as someone else here mentioned. It's also Cinco De Mayo too. So happy hunting and Happy Children's Day! And happy Cinco De Mayo!

I'm going to get me a Onigiri rice ball and a soft mochi treat from the Japanese market down the street from me.

Heh, I can give my lousy Fighmaster some attention today. Guess I'm going to kill off those Deljabaner+ with my lousy M Cast's 3*. Hopefully one will to get to 6/10.

Should you not just wait for the grind boost? Only seems logical to me but suit yourself...

My inventory is filling up fast. Besides these weapons aren't really worth much. I'm saving the more expensive weapons. like Pakudacs for boost.

*jaw drops after looking at grinds for Pakudac*

Wow, that is some sick PP at 10. Not to mention being barely weaker than a Needle/G.

Too bad I'd never attempt to go that high, lol.

shigga pakudac is very nice indeed. i believe the spread needle at 10 still beats the pakudac at 10 though.
not spread neddle/g. just the spread needle

When I was updating the chart this morning, I thought the 3* luck for all the males was unusual. It is interesting to see that is tied to a Japanese holiday.

For some reason I've been SUPER lucky today. I've gotten 3 rare missions and a buncha Svaltus and Relic Edges. Take that you...manly.....men!

I haven't found a rare mission in a while, though I did randomly have it on my beast the other day when I went to take pictures of my melan knuckles and saw the mission listed at the counter :P

I've been going through some sorta lucky deal lately. First the Casino now this. Guess that Photon Luck deal is minor or as an old PSU player would say "Photon luck is just there to make people feel pretty and squishy inside. Its not gonna protect you from a facefull of megid thats for sure!!"
