Because, if all that the Glorious Potion does, is make the Luck of the character be further increased so that the drops occur more likely, then, I would imagine, if Luck does not work with Treasure Maps and SOSes, why would then the Glorious Potion have an effect on them ?
That is why I also asked about whether for this Event Luck will be "also" made a factor to determine a higher number of drops for Pirate Hats with Treasure Maps and SOSes...
It all depends, to my opinion, whether Luck and the Glorious Potion are linked in terms of how code decides the highered chances at Pirate Hats drops.
Something which only a Developer can answer, I guess.
This will be a lot of Fun! Lets get it Live!
@Kyronix
Hold it. Can you please clarify 100% about this, please, to make sure ?
In past ToT type Events, I seem to remember, at least when killing MoBs, Luck provided by equipment & other items did have an effect with the chance of more likely receive an Artifact drop to turn in to the NPC for Rewards when killing MoBs that had a chance to award a drop.
Correct, right ?
For example, also with the latest Event in Tokuno that we had, it is my understanding that characters wearing Luck on their suits, using the Luck Statue etc. had an increase in their drop chances for the Event Artifacts to then turn in to the NPC.
In your message I am quoting, are you perhaps saying that with this new Event, instead, it will be different from the past ToT type Events and it will no longer be the case, and Luck for this Event will NOT factor in any longer as it was for past Event also when killing MOBs, in reference to getting a higher chance of Pirate Hats drops ?
And that now, for this new Event, the only and sole way to increase one's own chance at a Pirate Hat drop will be using the Glorious Potion which will work for ALL collection methods, thus including through Treasure Maps and SOSes besides the collection methods which require killing MoBs ?
To my opinion, this is an important information to have and be certain about 100%, please, because when having to assemble a character's suit, the suit changes enormously if one has to implement Luck in it or not, because having to use pieces with Luck, especially with high Luck, inevitably, this sacrificies other important properties to be able to use fighting with that character so, if, as you say in your message that I quoted, "Luck provided by equipment & other items will not have any effect on the drop rate for Plunderin' Pirate Hats." and this is valid also when killing MoBs that award Pirate Hats, players will be able to 100% forget about having to use Luck pieces and can focus on using only items with properties which enhance combat and survivability of their characters.
So, please, could you kindly confirm without a shiver of doubt that, for this New Event, we can entirely do without using Luck on our characters (whether provided by equipment & other items) and this, regardless of the collection method for Pirate Hats thus also including killing all MoBs which can award Pirate Hats for their killing?
That is, that only and solely the Glorious Potion will provide higher chances at Pirate Hats drops and, this, for ALL collection methods (thus including through Treasure Maps digging and SOSes fishing) ?
Thank you for your further, much needed to my opinion, clarification.
Oh wow! Just to clarify, I am NOT a Dev. I'm only the board mod and wiki editor. The PLAYER wiki. written by a player. Any information I post I've gotten from publish notes on the main page or from my own playing knowledge gathered over the years and shared with fellow players by writing the wiki.
sure.... sHhhhh
Sorry, no.
With regards to the Fortune's Visage I conferred with our resident gear aficionado (Parallax) and The Fortune's Visage isn't designed with any one play style in mind for where it will specifically "slot in". It provides a significant luck bonus on the head slot, as well as several other basic stats that are useful for a wide variety of templates. Additionally, the helm can also be enhanced to extend this bonus even further. It includes Mage Armor by default so caster templates can choose to use the item if they wish, and those with no need for Mage Armor can have it removed for a bonus to the LMC stat. Max luck suits are not a requirement to compete in any content, and those wishing to assemble a suit with the most luck possible may have to make some tough decisions when assembling that suit.
thanks for keeping the fish pole thing in the head tho. a little extra bait strengh could go a long way
Thank you for the further clarifications.

So, while Luck might still be useful, as you remind, when doing Treasure Maps and SOSes to get better quality loot, I imagine that, for those players just wanting to kill MOBs that drop Pirate Hats (Pirates, Orcs, at the Void, Covetous, maybe not for Scalis/Corgul and Charybdis were Luck helps get other nice items), they might do without Luck on their characters' suits for this Event which functions differently as compared to the Treasures Events and focus more on other properties which will help them kill faster and survive better their fights.probable next week I'm guessing ? I don't think they've done a Friday release before have they ?
Yes the paints are 3 tones. I assume they fade. But ya they are expensive if they dont.
