I'm planning on getting this branch. But, from my understanding it's strictly for credits. Many people have only verified credits increasesing as well and guess that loot would be better.
The description does kind of imply loot would be better, but again, do not expect to see uber loot since no one else with this branch has confirmed anything of the sort.

im pretty sure most of the FS skills are completely worthless and are just around so it takes us longer to unlock real jedi characters and for us to use up some skill points early on.
not that luck would hurt your character or anything, just dont expect any real results or noticeable changes after you unlock your six branches!

Yea I've heard the other missions are quite the pain. I'll be sure to get luck when i get home. I'll kill some Jantas without luck, maybe 50 then kill another 50 after with luck. Hopefully my results will be interesting..

luck is a big waste. i got it a little more than a year ago from a holo unlock and i have had no change in my horrible luck with loot. i have seen my credit count go up...but when you are talking about a paltry 300-400 credits per npc its not worth it. go do missions if you want credits.

this too is a poweful argument. So many people have mixed feelings on fs skills. Some say it doesn't matter b/c they don't really do anything (other than vehicle control) in the long run.
I know I read multiple times luck has no affect on loot, and credits .. yea you're right, it's not worth it for credits. But what if they change luck to work for loots? ya.. I know, it's false hope. I don't know, I think b/c luck is a relatively easy skill to get I'll probably get it.
This is off topic of the original thread though. So in respect to the original thread, I'm guessing RasenFaust is all the evidence we need. There is no bonus to non-credit loot. Which is kind of sad

oh trust me i took it the min i read the description and it said loot. i was thinking to myself heck yeah! and people were going around saying "the rumor is that you will loot up to 2-3 items instead of 1 with it" boy was that all a big lie.
the truth is i get shafted on krayts and ns just like everyone else.

How can you be sure it isnt working with loot? Has it been confirmed?
I wouldnt expect it to increase your loot with 100-200% (getting 2-3 items instead of 1) but perhaps increasing the value of the loot you get just slightly.. You know - instead of getting a stone knife you get a vibro blade... instead of a 1000 crystal you get a 1100 crystal... instead of a +10 CA you get a +11 CA. Small things like that. With credits an increase is much easier to notice than with loot.
I guess the only thing to know for sure would be to test it before and after getting luck and even then I think the random factor would be to large to determine anything.

Alright..I'm going to run the test today, before and after. I'm pretty sure everyone has said it does not include looted items and only credits. I even think the description says credits, but I'm at work so i can't check this out. But, regardless, I'll post my results later today or tomorrow afternoon.
My test will include 50 Janta or Dantari warriors before having luck then another 50 after learning luck.
improved qualtiy will be hard to test unless I kill 1000's for each test, but I am not prepared to dedicate that much time. So things like a +1 factor to ca's or aa's, I cannot prove, but I'll try to prove the getting 3 instead of 1 looted items theory, either right or wrong.
