If Luck Actually Works

Definitive as I can be. Luck works on T-Maps and general creature loot. I've done over 1000 Nest Maps, I did 300 with 0 luck for testing. 700+ with 3000-5000+ luck. Luck did not affect any of the loot from the nest. It was the same number of gems based on the level of the nest, none of the equipment seemed to be modified by luck (ie- still useless junk). 

Yea unfortunately the T-map "revision" several years ago missed the mark on putting "good items" in treasure chests. 

As for "does luck actually" in general... I'd say it does. You get more ToT drops from thee vents with more luck; easy enough to test this by clicking the luck statues vs not having them touched... same suit/mobs/dungeons/etc and 10 out of 10 times I'm getting more drops with luck (2300 luck vs 0). It also should work on corpse loot and again I think it does because doing things like UW with and without a luck suit I've noticed a difference, but this one is much harder to test because of the RNG and unknown... it's hard to verify anything. You get X item with luck but might still get X item without a luck suit because your RNG rolled high enough. 

I think that's where luck falls for the mature eggs ( @ Mordeed - I think this is what you are asking)... I think it does help improve your chances but due to RNG people (myself included) will get a mature egg with lower luck. I was running 5k luck while doing massive nests and didn't get anything but ended up with several lower maps so I decided to do them all until I had nothing left on me... I ended up getting an egg in a lesser map with maybe 500 luck. Without being able to see the numbers behind the scenes, it's going to be near impossible to actually confirm unless you run a sample size of like 1000 maps with a luck suit and 1000 without and even then the numbers might be close OR just super random where you get the same due to RNG kicking in with lower luck.

TLDR - I do think luck plays a part in getting mature eggs but I'm not sure it's super noticeable to the casual player.

The biggest question for me is if getting an egg is 100% RNG where in the same person has the same exact chance every single time... so technically speaking could get back to back to back eggs if the RNG hit. Like if I start doing nests and get an egg on my 2nd nest; should I just log that toon out and use a different on? The 2 eggs I've gotten have been on 2 different toons & accounts so I haven't been able to see how many nests in between on the same toon..

I have experience that got 2 eggs in 3 Massive Nests(the first and the third), and got nothing above 400+ maps (Massive mixed with Grand) in the other days, all with the same Luck situation (average 2630, 4330 with statue and clock), so.....I think the RNG is very tricky and un testable

You've already gotten 2 mature eggs, but I've been using two accounts to farm dragon queen and dragon nests for almost two months and haven't gotten a single mature egg of any color. Now I have try converting my other secondary account (with 5000 luck points) into a paid account too and see how my luck goes from there. I already asked someone yesterday, and the reply I received was that free EJ accounts indeed cannot obtain any large reward items from official events; in other words, pure EJ accounts cannot obtain mature eggs.
