Persuasion lowers certain prices such as training (from skill trainers). Don't know about luck though...

Luck is supposed to affect your loot drops. I believe it just increases your chances of receiving a drop, not necessarily the quality of the drop.

At the moment, all luck does is increase money looted from corpses (lame)

At the moment, all persuasion does is decrease the cost you pay NPC's to train you (lame). It is rumored that it MIGHT also decrease the FP cost of items, but I have not verified this personally.

Can someone tell me what these do. I don't want to do the quest to unlock them before I have some knowledge about them. It's logical that luck might help you find better loot, or do better on anything in the game that has a random aspect, but does anyone know for sure what luck and persuasion do?

read the description....hehe j/k luck=supposedly gives you better loot, like credits..no idea if it works for items or not, and persation...no idea how that could help you, that would be cool sorta if it cut everything in half like shuttle costs, and doubled the credits for missions...but thats not what it does...think its for looks

That would really suck if persuasion were just for looks. I don't think SOE would put in a skill that did nothing. Anyone know?

Luck only seems to give me more money from an NPC I killed.


It only seems to give me more money from NPC kills the lootage is never anything beyond normal. I killed 100s of NPCs known for loot kit items so I decided to risk the chance at adhesives. 2Hrs and a few hundred NPCs later? NOTHING Geeee thanks!


Now I can:

a) get 50-100cr more per NPC kill and get ganked for -200xp later when the BH turns up, or,

b) stay off the terms and keep my xp where it is


The lootage stayed the same, which isa disapointment since that is the only reason I took "luck" in the first place.


you do the math....

All the skills work its just most of them in reality/relitively do very little to enhance the play.
