Lucky Charm Notes

  • If Lucky Charm happens to activate when you loot an object, you will be notified by a 4-leaf clover visual and a distinct "shwing" sound.
  • When looting an object that lucky charm activated on, the lucky charm loot appears in addition to whatever other loot already existed there.
  • It is unclear exactly how much benefit you get from each level of lucky charm, but it is definitely possible to get purple level items from levels 3-4 of lucky charm. Some players have also reported getting "legendary" rarity items from levels 4-5 lucky charm. Higher levels of lucky charm absolutely do increase the net average quality of loot received.
  • Lucky charm levels 6-10 increase the frequency of lucky charm triggering (from 5% at level 5 to 6.67% at level 10), but does not change the quality of loot.
  • Lucky charm can proc on essentially any lootable object, from crates to barrels to fish carcasses. It is unclear if the type of object being looted affects the proc chance or loot quality.
  • Drunk status provides a temporary +2 Lucky Charm buff. You can extend this permanently by have the character who is drunk in dialogue mode with another. Since Lucky Charm is shared among party members, you can loot while your other character is drunk.
  • 50% of containers opened will give items that are gonna be just good category due to the loot table algorithm mechanics. Other 50% will be affected by Lucky charm level and might be upgraded to best. Every game location defines item quality depending on suggested level. For Act 1 as an example good is rare and best is epic. For Act 3 best is divine and good is epic.

      does anyone know if lucky charm from different characters stack? So when i put 1 point into lucky charm in all my characters do i end up having lucky charm 4?

      I mean it would be quite powerful but since the talent is shared (different from all the other civil skills) and civil skill points are hard to come by i was wondering if i could spread it out over all my chars and be fine.

        Bottle of Beer increases Lucky Charm (LC) +2, however the Food talent which is suppose to double the effect of food does not increase it to +4 nor increase duration. Why not?

          Captain's compass amulet - the one you get at the end of the Drowning Her Sorrows quest on Act 2 - gives +2 lucky charm. Belts can also give +1 lucky charm; there's also a unique called (Magister Carin Shield - dropped from one of the magisters near han) which you get on fort joy that gives another +1 lucky charm. That means you can potentially reach +9 Lucky Charm starting on act 2 and farm a lot of legendary/epic gear.

            Was able to get a blue item on the starting ship. Drinking beer for +2 to lucky charm does help in terms of getting loot. Funny how I never noticed alcohol increased this stat in 100+ hours into the game.

            Also the loot also generates if you pick up crates/barrels, not just when you open them. So if you plan to pick up a crate without drunk buff (no +2 lucky charm), store them somewhere and then open them all at once while using a single beer/whine - this doesn't work. You can get this confirmed by checking the price of crate.

            For example if majority of crates on the starting ship are hardly above 5-20 gold and the one you picked up is 100+ gold plus - lucky charm already did it's job on this one. Works the same in the future, only the prices are different.

                it procs very often and lands some amazing loot but the diablo style loot system is a little too much, stay away from this skill if you don't like loot *****.

                  I suspect the level only affects gear quality and not the proc rate. At 9 Lucky Charm all the items I get are either legendary or divine, but I haven't noticed an increase in proc rate (I haven't actually measured it though).

                    Pretty great to have. Look into every thing you can loot from and it might activate. These lucky finds will net you a lot of money or some really useful gear. Down side is that it's random, so repeat runs may not be as lucky.

                      I was wondering if I had 2 or more people with lucky charm if it would have a higher chance of getting loot or if everything has the same chance it's just the lvl that affects the rarety and if so is having higher than lvl 5 worthless

                        5 points using all-skilled up, Justia Glove looted near top of the map at act 2, Captained Compass looted from deathfog ship after Wreckers Cave, I sit at 9 Lucky Charm, 9 Thieving and 9(10) Bartering with 3 million gold with no cheats. I wonder I'll hit 5 million by the end of the game for my personal global record. Thieving can be acquired by getting a glove from driftwood kid if you mention fort joy girl next to the boss and an armor that grants Thieving called Racht Muvora.

                          When it says "Is now a party-wide talent" do they ONLY mean in Single-player with your henchmen? Does it also apply in Multi-player/Co-op?

                          And also, anyone know if (if it does work in Co-op) it stacks? So If I have 3 in LC, and another player has 3 in LC, do we have a combined LC of 6 that is taken into consideration, or is it just 3, mean one of us needs to focus on it and the other should focus on other civil abilities?

                            If an item generated by lucky charm does not have a desirable enchantment, you can reload a save from within 20-25m of the container and each time lucky charm will trigger on the same container and will have the same loot BUT with different enchantments. For example, if a container gives a rawhide scale armor with 10% poison resistance you can save scum to get the same armor but with +1 warfare which is more useful. The loot will be same in every way except for the enchantments. This also applies to enchanted gear found without lucky charm. Also breaking locked chests instead of lockpicking does not prevent lucky charm from triggering because the loot is generated as soon as you come within 20-25m of the container.

                              does anything happen if i have lucky charm on multiple people? Or does it just apply the highest one? I'm gonna assume its the highest one and put more stuff into other abilities

                                I think it is area dependant.
                                I was as level 12 at the Sawmill with the Lone Wolves and it gave me a level 14 legendary..Moving to a lower level area gave me lower level item..I am not sure if having higher than 5 does anything like Bartering or Thievery...
                                I suspect it does not.The frequency it procs looks the same as 5 and as 7.(with gear)
                                Level 1-2 gives scrolls money or grenades.Maybe green items.

                                • As of recent patch (Hotfix v3.0.159.021), I'm pretty sure I saw the message "X shared Lucky Charm with Y" while looting a box and getting the 4 leaves clover visual, so it seems they have changed it to work for the whole party.

                                    is there any benefit from having lucky charm on 2 characters? I have it maxed on one, does it make sense to pour it into 2 characters now that it is "shared" across the team?

                                      151.229 patch: If I have 8 lucky charm (5 base + 3 from gear) the luck bonus will never trigger, however if I decrease it to 6, gears start pouring. Definitely needs fixing....

                                        If a chest is locked, will lucky charm proc from the person who picks the lock? Or can I pick the lock with a high thievery character and switch to my lucky charm character to open it?

                                        (I only just started the game, so forgive me if that's not how lock picking works)

                                          The rarity of your "bonus loot" depends on the loot containers level. For example: Divine items are available once you reach level 16 on your characters, as such, you can only find Divine items in loot containers which are able to spawn level 16+ items. I did find my first Divine item via Lucky Charm on the Bloodmoon Isle and a lot more frequent on the Nameless Isle. Same applies to Legendary items, which usually start being available in Act 2 etc. -- My Lucky Charm rank is 10 currently, yet I am not sure if the actual rank of Lucky Charm determines the possible rarity you find or rather how frequently you actually "trigger" the bonus loot - I feel like the latter is the case.

                                            I don't think this is true:
                                            Only triggers with the one with this talent, not the teammates.

                                            Got 0 luck on my main char, but 7 on companion and got legendary boots from fish barrel and clover with sound.

                                              retested this after release of patch 143.909

                                              maxed at 5, +1 from gear (so LC at 6)

                                              opened 200 containers in Act 1

                                              -very first trigger was an epic level dagger, (level 2, heh), so you can find epic gear right from the start in act 1.
                                              -most of the gear was either rare or epic level, with a few magic pieces but no legendary.
                                              -the gear was usually better than what vendors were selling, and most of my best gear was from LC up to level 7.
                                              -adds a bit more interest to opening every container you see.

                                              conclusion: totally worth maxing this skill on one character, still.

                                                The character with Lucky Charm has to be the one opening all the containers to get it to trigger? Or can you get the bonus if someone in your party has Lucky Charm?

                                                  You can get Divine items aswell from Lucky charm, Not sure what minimum level is required but i think it's 6.

                                                    Also if lucky charm activates looting an object you can reload a previous save, loot everything up until that point again, and save scum for stats as well as go loot from a different object to spawn a different item (Example, you loot a belt you can load the save, go to a different barrel, and get boots, and proceed to save scum the item for the stats you want)
