i recieved the luck line as my free unluck when the village open. before i recieved the luck line i was gaining a loot kit item every 8 missions just killing npcs. after it slowed down to about 1 out of every 50 missions. i joined a solo group on dant to hunt janta/mokk and it seemed everyone but me seemed to loot crystals and loot kit items on a semiregular basis. i went for over a dozen missions without so much as a stone knife (which is all i ever looted) and i had all of3 of em for a 4 hour hunting session.

i was woundering if anyone else that has picked up the luck line was having this problem. i'm hoping my character isnt bugged as the csr have replied to my ticket with a answer that there was no know problem and even if there was they couldnt do anything about it. first truthful answer i ever got from one of em.

Good question I would like to know too.

I would kinda like to know what luck does also

I have a question, somewhere in all this over the past 2 months, I missed how do you get or where do you get a LOOT KIT?

Question 1: Luck worse with it?

Never got much loot without it 2 days, 12 total sessions, killing Jantas and Mokks netted 2 crystals. After Luck line, Whoo Hoo a Wooden Staff now I can be a Pikeman. But still no crystals after 2 hunting sessions.

Question 2: Where are Loot Kits?

You get them from Junk Dealers(NPCs) in the various cities.

Your right, Jedi Luck is worse than broken. I have done over 40hrs of testing on this and without a doubt, Jedi Luck completely ruins you chances of non-credit loots of value.

20hrs without Jedi Luck, vs NPCs used to yield a backpack full of lootkit bits, skilltapes and the odd special item like a holocron.

20hrs with Jedi Luck vs same NPCs is lucky to yield even a few decent loot items and almost never anthing good. On the other hand, you do loot considerably more basic weapons like scoutblasters and dl20a rifles etc (which are worthless), plus you get about 15-20% more credits (again - pitiful considering you lost millions in loots to gain a few K more credits).

So, if you're looking to take a FS branch, dont take Jedi Luck, because it utterly ruins your characters chance at any loots. If, like me and others who were conned into taking this waste of xp, then all we can do is ask SOE to disable it. At my current stage of frustration, I dont even care if I have 4 FS boxes which do nothing, because nothing is a damn sight better than the cursed luck these 4 boxes offer.

I've already written a CSR ticket and they replyed to submit a bug report - which I did. I suggest everyone who has this skill, and see's their loots go down to do likewise so they at least acknowledge it. Its not like it has to be fixed soon, but it DOES HAVE TO BE DISABLED - PLEASE SOE - COMMENT OUT THE CODE!!!

If you made it this far, I'll leave you with this. Jedi Luck as coded by SOE should have all those storyline lovers in raptures. Once upon a time, Jedi were power in the Galaxy, they held the ears of governements. There were hundreds of Jedi. Then came the dark days, and SOE introduced Jedi Luck and all the Jedi said "Oooo, more Luck - thats just got to be good right?". And Lo! it came to pass that the Jedi were indeed lucky, so lucky they all but got wiped out except for some runt who took to hiding in a swamp. Great Luck they had, same as we have. Same as I have, and I want none of it.

I almost never, seriously like twice in three months, loot a useful item (like a lootkit part)from mokks or jantas. Maybe in phase 2, i can get the luck tree, and I can be the counterexample.

I will report back my findings when I finish FS luck if you are interested.

I took Luck with Yasmin, 2nd day with it I looted a +25 Structure Experiment Belt off a Nightsister. Never really looted anything nice before that...

Since I have had Luck 4 on my Jedi, I have looted 3 mind fire geos, 5 mind poison geos, 4 geo pistol schematics, 1 flawless and 6 premium pearls, and numerous color crystals, in addition to all the credits I get from npcs. Sometimes I seem to get higher heals, like 1200 from a 634 stim C when I only have pharm 3.

Sometimes when I just don't think I can hang on after channeling, synthsteak/exo wafers 'til I'm full, spice, and all my force for heals to keep alive, I manage to get out of some tough circumstances with enraged bull rancors or geonosians.

If anything, a Jedi should have luck, expirementation, ranged and melee defense, and melee speed and accuracy. I have healing, and would trade it for expirementation. Besides these, what's all the other FS good for? +5 Terrain negotiation with survival 4? Bah!
