Anet should have come up with a plan of what to do with excess luck when the first few accounts capped luck. That must have been years ago and yet Anet still hasn't done anything about it. Moreso with some of the login rewards giving Luck. :neutral: Not exactly how much it could 'break', given that some people compound boosters to get to, what, 500%+. Adding a soft cap would still allow growth and a place to fuunel luck without needing to establish new items or rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kong.3280 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Would love a way to craft the [Legendary 500 Essence of Luck](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Essence_of_Luck_(legendary) "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Essence_of_Luck_(legendary)").

Keep them if you need them, or sell them if you don't, but mats are generally worth more than the gear itself. That is unless you use a copper fed salvage machine, or a basic salvage kit. It would be nice to see a vendor to trade them in for some new skins, or even buy things like the repair kits and portable banker and trader.

Sublimatio.6981 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 ## B)**Suggestions for uses of luck after 300%:** B) * increase max to 310%, make every 1% take as much luck as 1-300 (soft cap) * option to salvage luck, granting 5/10% magic find temporary buff * lottery system including luck essences (allow us to extract the overcapped luck, i consume it even though im capped to save inventory space, would be cool to have it extracted if there are new uses for it. the amount of luck i consumed is counted in the achievements bar) * luck eater (but there are so many, please introduce something like living world portal tome and make us stack the eaters into single item) * vendor trading luck essences for transmutation charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlias.8104 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 1.5 mil every 1% is imho too low. First problem to solve should be about not to waste it, which sees luck from item to wallet currency and a vendor which exchange luck for magic find for those who didn't cap. Inventory space and no luck loss should be the priority. We don't need any eater, more mf or a reward which needs luck in exchange. Those could be Nice ideas don't get me wrong, but it's important that they first solve the main problem which afflict luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I was thinking. It could never (I believe) be maxed. 5% more would make a mathematically insignificant difference, yet still allow us to use our luck to advance our account.

Deimos.4263 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I've stopped salvaging (except when I forget) so I don't get much luck anymore. But when I accumulate enough, I'll donate it to a friend with a new guild hall. There's a lot of exotic luck required to level guild halls.

Devildoc.6721 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So I gotta ask, once you reach 300 with a combination of luck and achievements does it let you go to 300% from luck alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, account-bound luck from MF has the cap of 300, independent of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could never (I believe) be maxed. 5% more would make a mathematically insignificant difference, yet still allow us to use our luck to advance our account. I will need some months to cap, but the bonuses could be infinite. This is why i suggested something even way higher ( it could be an advantage for me, but it would be unfair for the others. And Since the current way to get mf they should be aware about how much luck could a player get ). That’s why the best would be to transform the essenCes into a wallet currency. Then the will be able to think the best way to use it with no urges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With banners & boosters and such, you can add another few hundred. If you go to Silverwastes and build up [perserverence](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Perseverance), you get another 150% (+30% per event), and that ups a bit in the moment you are opening a Lost Bandit Chest. So those who want to can get ~900% MF or more, at least for brief periods of time. Normally, that's not worth the effort to worry about. The exceptions are opening containers for which MF changes the loot, most notably: Lucky Envelopes from Lunar New Year (~ February) and all three levels of Unidentified Gear from PoF maps. There are a couple of posts documenting just how big a difference that makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I knew about the other added effects, just wasn't sure if it was a 300% from luck and then achievements on top, or if it was 300% luck+achievements cap.

Gilgamesh VII.8690 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Maybe every level past 300% grants a MF Booster like we have spirit shards for XP or put 4 stacks of 100 exotic luck in to the mystic forge to make it into a MF booster. Nothing big just somthing that dosnt feel like your wasting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARIORSCHARGEING.2637 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 it be nice for us all if this was bumped up more to say maybe 500 or 600 . and include a way to make it more use full for other stuff as well too. once you reach max again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raif.9507 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Wow, I'm still trying to get to 300% and I've played since launch. Just recently found the ecto > dust > sell & buy ecto go around but that is a ton of luck to have lying around. Should definitely have a way to craft the legendary luck, make management a lot easier.

Zaxares.5419 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'd be happy with a Luck eater that consumed Exotic essences and just spat out random loot like the other munchers. While we're at it, I'd LOVE an Obsidian eater too. If you don't really make Legendary weapons (which are the main sink for Obsidian), you just end up with piles and piles of it from reward tracks and SW farming.

TEKnowledgy.1760 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 First i want to state i'm no where near max. I feel when one gets max one should get a good achievement, a luck eater and maybe toss in a title like "Lucky" or "Lucky Charm" something relative and fun. Unless one chases that 300% luck passionately, it will take any casual a while to get it. Gives another fun goal to chase. As is I don't chase luck, I see very little difference with or without it. Though i do see a small difference, still not worth chasing in my opinion as is. When luck system was changed back in the day, I was actually surprised there was no achievement for reaching 300%. Considering there are incredibly easy achievements that put out like 20 pts. Daily sometimes takes you 5-10 mins to accomplish and gives 10 every time. Makes perfect sense to tie it to an achievement and atleast away to make use of excess luck (other than crafts) once someone has reached the maximum. There indeed needs to be a luck sink or something older this game gets the more people you will see coming to the forums about excess luck as more and more people reach the max. It would be nice to be able to convert into something of use, like laurels you get excess one can atleast convert it to gold or something useful.

Not sure why you have management issues or luck "laying around" (I dont think the luck is lying to you)... salvage extos, rightclick and consume all on the luck, sell the dust. Repeat. At least we can consume all now, before we had to click each and every piece of luck (well, macros made it tolerable). I used to buy 1000 ectos at a time to do this. The problem was juggling all the cash and not dumping all the dust at once, lol. Well at least one earned more than what was lost, generally.

The wow to that is a lot of luck lying around was to that picture posted earlier with stacks & stacks of luck.
