In my experience, an Ursix always drops 2 items. I'm certainly not expecting to get 3 items to drop when running with 190% luck, but shouldn't repeatedly killing an Ursix with 190% luck result in a greater proportion of rare items as compared to repeatedly killing an Ursix with 0% luck?

Hi Brenon - thanks a lot for taking the time to post on this. I thought Ursix would be a good study as I knew my ability to a log a significant pool of results would be difficult (full time dad and stuff) so something with an inflated drop chance would hopefully paint a better picture with less runs.

As a side note I also tested a few vague stats that sounded like they may also influence drop rates, namely - support: drop rate % and support: harvest %The theory going around the community was that both of these would affect the amount of items dropped. However after testing 100% harvest I was unable to get more than the default 2 items, is this as intended?

With drop rate I could only get my build to 40% but also didn't notice a change. To me, harvest sounds like it applies to plants and minerals etc only but support: drop rate has me stumped. If you could clarify the stat that would be great.

Also, just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the rest of th...

Does luck or difficulty even affect masterwork Ember droprates from freeplay chests and material nodes?

Not sure if I'm too late to the party for this, had an issue last night where I got downed fighting an Titan on Hard and had to respawn. My friend and the two other randoms in our instance managed to kill the Titan as I was flying back to the battle. Was a little dismayed to see no loot on the ground for me. Any chance participation can overwrite proximity in the future?

Otherwise, having an absolute BLAST with this game. Kudos to you and everyone else on the team.

So just to make sure I understand, If i have in total Support: +190% Luck across my all my equipped gear together, that should give me the highest possible % chance of achieving higher rarity loot from both kills and chests? (without considering GM difficulties loot % modifer)

Edit: Or does it effect only loot that can drop when you kill an enemy?

Sorry I meant, the "+supply drop %" stat. What does it do? Does it factor into item drop rate alongside luck, or does it do something else?

And thanks for your replies :D

If you can answer some follow ups:

• does supply drop % factor into ITEM drop rate?

• can you super duper confirm that all of this is currently functional? Like double check the luck affix is taking effect, etc.?

• is luck a group stat?

Luck as a stat should not be a thing.

I should be gearing my character to do more damage, kill stuff faster. Not gearing to get more/better drops, doing crap damage and being a carried by my team to more drops.

I feel like i'm cheating myself when i put on that better DPS gear because i just lost 30% luck. That isnt how this should work....

I take it luck won't change what level of rarity is possible in any activity. Just skews you in favor of whatever the highest possible for you is.

No, drops are currently based off proximity

that's a pretty big radius too because i've gotten drops from things across areas recently.

Good info! Would be awesome if we knew what the thresholds were though and how much of a diminishing return there is as thresholds increase

Can you clarify if we have to hit a monster for our luck stat to work, or it works even if we don't touch a monster and other people kill it ?. Also interested if gear score has anything to do with quality of drop ?.
