0 star luck vs any luck

[jerrelle]

We all know that male beast have the worst luck ever... or do they????

In the past few weeks, I have only noticed 1 day with 3 star luck. In that same time frame, there has been a few 1 star days and A LOT of 0 stars.

The reason I bring this up is because I don't know if it's just me or what but my fortune has taken a turn for the better. Just the past 2 weeks a lone, I have come across an assload of rares.
Just for example, yesterday I set a plan to search for a Blackbull through everywhere that it dropped. I did 7 runs of True Darkness S (was planning to move to new areas but you'll see why I didn't):

1st- [b] Blackbull, Lidra
2nd- [b] Blackbull, (edit - Relic Edge: from previous run left in inventory- gamewarp)
3rd- Agito Edge
4th- polymers removed but cyrals still make me smile (edit - not different types of polymers - they were from previous runs left in inventory- gamewarp, blkbeast, JAFO22000)
5th- [b] Ank Dedda, Agito Edge
6th- (edit - Relic Edge: from previous run left in inventory- gamewarp) - one of these was another Agito
7th- Grinder base S's, but buddy (The Ancient One) gave me a free Great Flowens Sword (different type of luck but hey had to throw it in)

To top it off, I was synthing 3 different 7 star weapons (cost me a total of nothing to synth, didn't even want them - was going to sell them) they all failed but they gave me 2 catilium and a goldania.

Used the catilium to synth a Sweet Death which came out 46% dark.
The first Blackbull actually synthed in a striking pm (54% success). Second one is up for sale (Jerrelle)

Now that the bragging is over, does luck actually boost anything dramatically? Run 4, 6 and 7, The Ancient One was with me and he had 3 star luck but nothing came of it. He said that my luck was unheard of for yesterday. I just say it evened out all the crap luck that beast males get 99% of the time.

Relic edge is an area drop for the relics, so you didnt find any in true darkness.

wow they gotcha

[jerrelle]

sorry.... not relics, replace one with an agito--- i had one in my inventory from the previous night.
was doing continuous runs without emptying inventory - face palms!!!!!!
did it get hot in here or is it just me?????

edit- which i forgot to mention - the relic was the only thing i got from a 3 star night.

Still doesn't explain the "4 different polymers" you found. Let's see, you found a Nanopolymer, an Ortapolymer, a Metapolymer and a.....???

[blkbeast]

o0o0o0o yea...
4 really?

[jerrelle]

just like the relics, they may have been in the inventory from a previous run/day. i stated before due to luck, i was not emptying out to keep streak hot. i said 4 different types?? i meant 42 different types..... yeah face palms as i stated beforehand. 4 polymers, not different types.

really need to scan through before hitting "post". you guys are brutal to casual players. i deserve it for being excited i guess.

edit: a lot of this in today's post. I remember where the relics came from - episode 2 ch 8 festa 1. got bored of white beast and played storymode.

"Real" luck > Photon Fortune

Photon Fortune increases the "drop anything" rate, not the rare drop rate.
Photon Fortune does not affect synthing at all, but it does affect grinding.

To be honest I think too many people make a big deal out of Photon Fortune and don't really understand what it does. Your chances of finding rares on a 0* day aren't that different than on a 3* day, and there's nothing stopping you from getting lucky with 0*. So congratulations!

thank you for weeding through my inaccuracies and giving a respectable response. thing is i don't play often, i have one character from launch day and he is only level 99. so all these items just make it worth it to log on and play. lately, i have more time on my hands as preggo wife goes to sleep early (due next month).

i notice how i really do have more real luck finding items when i have 0* as opposed to 2 or 3*. maybe it's because i don't expect anything with 0* but i go madly searching and expecting something with any *'s.
