Affected by Luck STAT?

I wonder if this sort of controversy happened when configuring Critical's 30% cap...

more than likely it may have. I'm not surprised Blassreiter for removing either. Everyone has the right to doubt numbers that sound absurd/illogical/stupid/made up/etc. Even I was doubting when my JP buddies forwarded me their luck results because of the lack of updates concerning luck (maybe that's why the numbers are there...). At any rate, it can stay taken down if necessary.

Well, I don't doubt you (or I'm denying the doubt).

You do raise a good point about Ruairi and Cessair's Heart. They have 1490 Luck (minus the 10 from character creation) and yet their lucky finish rate seems to be the same as a player with 100 or 0 luck.
As for Lucky Gather, the only NPC with high luck who actually gathers is Shakespeare, I think. The one where he mines flint. Sadly, he only had 500ish Luck, and IIRC the mission clears instantly once the animation completes...

Have those JP people done tests on other things and if they did were those proven to be accurate?

I also want to point out the -10 luck only affects critical %. Everything else appears to leave Luck unscaled and has no known cap on luck-based effects.

It... doesn't? Now I'm really more confused about that -10 aspect...

-10 only applies to critical calculation. What's there to not understand? Luck appears to be unscaled when calculating bonus gathers.

I also want to word this:
Luck1あたりラッキーフィニッシュ発生率0.005倍ずつ上昇

To something like every 1 luck adds .005% chance of a lucky finish...that's is really minuscule...and just awkward as hell to say.

I meant overall. 10 is nonexistent so shouldn't the subtraction be universal to everything?

1 Luck = .005% increased chance. 1,500 Luck = 7.5% increased chance. That sounds awfully doubtful...

Apparently not if it's using a whole number to begin with. Luck a strange stat to tackle when getting everything down outside of critical calculations :c

Large math aside, 1/66 + .075 isn't exactly much of an improvement to begin with.

I hate this game when it comes to incredibly weird and ridiculous calculations.

(# / 0 Luck) = Undefined
1 / Undefined = ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? THIS IS MADNESS

In what game is anything divided by 0 not undefined?

Well at least we know why it comes up as 0 luck = No lucky gathers.

Probably so. I know they took awhile to find the Dex formula as well as some of the values for the new Defense/Protection scaling, majority of their cooking recipes through trail and errors. Nothing really goes unchecked as far as I'm concerned.

Well, if we've come to rely on some of their formulas I wouldn't mind putting back in their Lucky formulas.
