PSU: What does luck or holy light really effect?

[Ravenstrife]

I have been on PSU for a couple of months now and I have heard alot of speculation on what luck/holy light really effects. Does it effect:
1. Rare item appearance during missions
2. Weapon Grining
3. Synthesis sucess rate
4. Rare Map/Creature appearance
If anyone out there has some usefull info on this topic please share some info with me. All input on this would be helpfull.

Defiantly weapon grinding, seen several charts giving examples.

Photon Fortune affects only the success rate of weapon grinding and the chances that an enemy will drop anything when defeated.

Is there a confirmed percent on how much of an increase super holy luck gives you?

I assumed it was around 20%-30% increase.

Photon Fortune doesn't affect rare drops.

If you mean to grinding, it's not that drastic. Maybe around 10-15% from 0* to 3*.

You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of getting an S-rank weapon to +5 or higher. The success rates on those are just... *blargh*

technically it does. The more chance of something dropping means there's more chance for a rare to drop.

^ What he said.

Basically, Photon Fortune is only useful for grinding. If you don't plan on grinding that day, just ignore the shining little sparkle next to your name.
