Get the luck out of here

[DeletedUser]

OK, for anyone interested in the impact of luck bonuses, I have completed the Allan Quartermain set (+50 luck) and the Cartwright horse and saddle set (+50 luck) and am using them together today for the first time, performing a variety of jobs. I'm a soldier, not an adventurer. Each group listing will start with 100 percent motivation. So, here we go:

In order to have a more precise evaluation, one needs to post at least say 100 jobs + motivation. Motivation affects item drops.

Then repeat the same jobs with the same motivation and compare results

Good luck

I was about to say the same thing as zd3. Sample size is waay to small- ideally, it'd be 1000 jobs done at 100% motivation- although i realize that's not very easily possible.

I suppose I could not report anything and keep the data to myself. Is it scientific, well, no. But it may be interesting if not statistically relevant.

We are grateful for any contribution from people concerning such things. Keep on the good work

As a quick but brief update. Last night, I reskilled for a bit to full trading and queued up three, two-hour shifts of traveling with a merchant and one hour of selling guns to Indians before going to bed. Here were the results with the full +100 luck set on.

1. Blue leg guards, $8085
2. Fancy waist coat, $5200
3. Precise schofield, $6400 AND Key No. 3. $7500
4. Peacemaker, $4570

Excellent info, FargoBear! Appreciate this work.

Had you already got Key 3 or was this your first one? I did Work as a Travelling Merchant and it took me forever to get Key 3. Plus I had lousy drops at that job. Apparently I just needed better clothes.
