Lucky Aura? - Guild Wars Forums

Derrick the Nomad · Feb 07, 2011, 05:06 AM // 05:06

Dear Arena Net,

The Lucky Aura?

Could you please tells us what it does? No one has figured it out -we give up so please just tell us.

Moonstalker · Feb 07, 2011, 05:27 AM // 05:27

What Lucky Aura? O.o

End · Feb 07, 2011, 05:30 AM // 05:30

chest drop rate

Trader of Secrets · Feb 07, 2011, 05:34 AM // 05:34

there is no evidence of that or increase rate of anything.

btw Lucky Aura is from using lunar fortune, a random effect that doesnt have a clear description if i does anything

Chairman Meow Meow · Feb 07, 2011, 05:43 AM // 05:43

I think it does nothing. That is the thing with lucky-dips, not all the prizes are good. So there is small chance the fortunes will drop a Celestial mini (valuable), and a moderate chance of receiving the Lucky Aura (worthless)!

Moonstalker · Feb 07, 2011, 06:24 AM // 06:24

So in theory, if I...
Switch districts
Use the Lucky Aura
Have leechers out of range

then I should have like.. super awesome drops, right?

There is no evidence to support this idea.

Saru The Boss · Feb 07, 2011, 08:12 AM // 08:12

Gives you triple chest drops, double ecto/shard drops in UW/FoW, and makes you over 9,000 tines more likely to get a double scroll drop from the UW/FoW chest.

all too true.

I'd love to know what it does, if it does anything. I very seriously doubt it serves any purpose though.

Axel Zinfandel · Feb 07, 2011, 08:49 AM // 08:49

It activates the Perfect Gem.

Oh Lucky Aura
What blessing do you bring us?
ANet say "nothing."

Fay Vert · Feb 07, 2011, 12:05 PM // 12:05

Each time you get it, GW2 release date gets moved forward.

Kunder · Feb 07, 2011, 02:10 PM // 14:10

The Lucky Aura is Anet giving you nothing and still finding a way to make you happy about it.

HigherMinion · Feb 07, 2011, 02:14 PM // 14:14

You ungrateful sods. Is a permanent shiny ring around your character not good enough?!

MithranArkanere · Feb 07, 2011, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I think it's just like the infamous Empty Chest.

In every dungeon I've ever designed, I always put a heavily protected Empty Chest.
All kinds of traps, monsters, terrain hazards and locks must be dealt with before opening the chest, and when you open it, there's nothing!

That always drives nut the players, and they end up searching the whole room, and tearing everything in there piece by piece, wasting their time and energy with it.

They are wired to think that if there's a path or any difficulty to it, there must be a reason for its existence. But there's none!

Captain Bulldozer · Feb 07, 2011, 03:22 PM // 15:22

I too would like to know what it does specifically. However, I have a hunch the revealing that info to us would require anet to tell us much more about the drop/rarity coding than they want to. We don't know exactly how HM/high level foes affects drop rates either, other than in a very vague "you get better stuff on average" kind of way. My guess is that the lucky aura probably does something like modify the drop spreadsheet in a very minor way, possibly equivalent to the effect of raising foes by X levels for the purposes of drops. Just a guess though.

Melkorium · Feb 07, 2011, 03:31 PM // 15:31

I operate under the theory it increases my chances of getting a Celestial when I open fortunes.
I have absolutely no justification for this belief
