Body Luck

[Mskitty]

I'd love confirmation if there even is such a thing as "body luck"
I can't see any correlation between my ingame actions and the times I've dropped from my body. Examples would be:

Leveling 0-50 without killing anybody once. Went iwt for the firstime got pk'd and dropped two body items, got revived and pk'd again 2 mins later, dropped another two body items.

Last two days I've been pretty much consistantly red or yellow (or brown in B/W) must have died anywhere between 20-40 times in the last 48 hours (don't be brown in B/W). I've Dropped from body twice...


I'd love it if your recent pk history/experience gained was a factor in dropping from body. Would be great to not pk, lvl like fu..... lvl lots* and not have to worry about dropping your new super expensive item.

What you think, can this be done? If it can do you think it should be?

its not only pking that affects your body luck, where you hunt, if you group, mobs you kill, guild your in.

just about everything is supposed to affect it at least thats what lapta had told everyone when the server started.

[WhiteFoxy]

can tell us about the effect plz

[Lone]

if you have good luck you get good drops/dont drop so much if you die stuff like that

if you have bad luck you dont get good drops/ refines dont work so often etc


i dont know the exact causes and effects, just what lapta had said at the start

That can't be accurate?

My hunting habbits haven't changed since I hit lvl 40 or so. St 7, GC, bdd all solo, with the occasional group hunt to zt with guildies. Yet depending some random order, my body drops aren't consistant.

Would be great to have some more info on how this system works.

If it is true that playing habbits can affect drop rate, I'm going to play it safe and stick to brown pking in b/w. Safest and most reliable way to get drops tbh. Rely on other ppls bad luck instead of my own =p

Well I guess if anyone would know, it'd be Lapta. Be nice to hear a difinative answer on what, if anything, effects it.

so every time u kil a mob the database sees how much luck u got to c if u get a drop or not ?
i thought it was only when the mob died the game desided wat it drops as like hen drop para 1/100000000000 ect..... ?? as alot of pkers still seem to get alot of good drops :/

[Lone]

as for the pker getting body drops, you can actually change the rate at which items drop from the body, and if this is set to high i dont think luck would have much affect on it.

i dont know how the game was coded, but i know lapta was addament that body luck existed when the server was launched, the only person that would know 100% for sure with the fiels were using would be a guy caleld TDadvisor he was the man who recoded it all so i assume he would know how it all worked.

im pretty sure body luck exists though even with out hearing about it on here.

if uou go to the astrologer in the penal colony he can tell you " your fourtune" which selects a messgae form a list of 13-14 diferent messages (either pob or dave posted the entire list of messages a couple of weeks back)


and i know the astrologer has been ingame since at least 1.9

so i'm 99.9% sure it exists i just cant give specific details as im not 100% sure about its causes and effects lol

Think i'll make a trip to the astrologer before and after I maul a bunch of folks, see what he has to say. See if it sheds any light on the matter
