NEW WORLD LOOT LUCK

v1.4.2 1th Novermber 2024

Credits: All the wonderful people at nwdb. Thank You! Especially Mixologic.

Introduction

This guide explains how loot luck works. Gathering luck (mining, logging etc) works the same way,

but is not covered here.

It’s worth pointing out the following

•Luck does not change the chance of getting a loot bag from a mob. Chance that a bag will drop

from a mob is determined by the type of mob (named, common, elite, boss).

•Luck does not affect the gearscore that an item drops at

•Luck does not affect the "Rarity" of the item (grey/green/blue/purple/orange), if its rarity can be

random.

•You can’t have too much luck, with the exception of some very specific rolls. If worrying about

this then you need to be analysing the drop table entries, not just “going with what you believe”

•There is no “sweet spot”. Once you see how the system works you will understand why this

concept doesn’t make sense.

•In general Loot Luck has a tiny effect.

•All loot drops can be obtained with 0% loot luck, with the exception of Void essence which

requires > 1% luck.

Overview

The two data structures used in the loot system; Tables and Buckets.

•Tables are a list of one or more entries containing other Tables, a Bucket or (occasionally) a direct

item to drop. Each entry has a value used to determines the range that must be hit for this entry.

•Buckets are lists of items to randomly pick from. Each item can also have a condition (tag, see

later) which much be met. Lots of items will share the same condition, this allows all similar

items into one Bucket, but group them using a condition.

Each Table and each Bucket has a name, I shall be using the names from now on. When

determining loot everything starts from an initial table depending on the source of the loot e.g.

– CreatureLootMaster when you get a bag from a mob

–BrimstoneEliteSarcophagi looting Grave Offerings not at a sulfur pool

–BrimstoneGlyphLockChests looting the Brimstone glyph chests

–ContainerLootLarge for a large supply container

–ChestLootElite for an Elite Chest

Basic Flow

The (simplified) flow of determining loot is as follows

1. Pick starting Table based on the action e.g. CreatureLootMaster for the bag from a mob

2. Determine the roll range of the table (generally 0..100k) and adjust by luck (1% = 100)

based on the type of table

– AddToRoll changes the floor and the ceiling of the range

–ClampMax changes the floor only of the range

3. Pick a random number within that range and look up the entries in the Table to determine

which is hit. The range for each entry is entryValue..nextEntryValue-1. The type of entry hit

is then processed.

– Bucket: pick a random item (equal chance for each) from that bucket e.g.

DungeonNamedItems, and add it to the drops. The table entry will also determine the

number. Generally one (unless a gathering table e.g. chopping a tree), but for example

RareContainerT5 table gives 2 to 4 for the amount of Scale Cloth / Blister Weave

–Table: repeat process using that table starting at Step 2 above e.g. CreatureLootNamed

–Item: add that item to the drops (used occasionally when a Bucket is not needed e.g.

Golden Scarabs were directly added to the Brimstone tables rather than have a bucket with

only one entry)

4. Once a drop from a table (any table processed above), there are two options based on the

AND/OR flag of the table.

–OR: no further processing of that table is required e.g. looting ContainerLootSmall is an

or, so you can only hit one entry in it’s list (note: that entry could be a AND table which

drops multiple items, though for ContainerLootSmall it doesn’t)

– AND: then continue processing the entry below the one that was hit, do this for each e.g.

ContainerLootLarge is an AND, so hitting any entry also hits all the entries below (and so

you can get drops from other entries).

Tables

A Loot Table has the following information

1. Roll Range Max

The max of the range to use when generating a random number to lookup the list of entries.

Note that most Loot tables are 100k and 1% luck = 100. Therefore giving Luck in term of %

is somewhat misleading (40% = 4k, not 40k)

2. List of Entries

The list of entries for this Loot Table. Each entry value can either be; a Bucket, another

Table or a direct item to drop when this entry is hit.

Each entry has a Threshold value (less than RollRangeMax) that is used to determine when

this entry is hit (see below). It also has a Qty (generally 1) for the (range) number of times

to roll on the Bucket, Table or items to give this entry.

3. AND/OR flag

When hitting an entry in this table an AND Table will also hit all the entries below. An OR

only hits that single entry.

4. Range Type

This is ClampMax, AddToRoll or IgnoreBonus and determines how luck affects the range

when rolling to hit the table. ClampMax changes the floor, AndToRoll changes the floor and

ceiling. IgnoreBonus, luck is not used (though there are other ways luck won’t affect a roll.

See later).

5. Condition

Optional condition that must be met (player level for example). This can change the

meaning of the Entries e.g. the Threshold value is the player’s level.

For example, the Brimstone Sarcophagi loot table

TABLE: BrimstoneSarcophagi Type: AND

RollRangeMax: 100,000 RangeType: ClampMax

Entries

Qty Threshold Entry Value

1 to 2 0 Table: ContainerLootGearLeveled

1 0 Table: GlobalNamedListRoll

1 0 Table: se_music_normal_chest_loot

1 0 Table: BrimstoneGlyphCommon

1 0 Table: ConcealedVault_Roll

1 35,000 Bucket: ResourceItems

1 75,000 Table: ContainerLootlargeExtra

1 85,000 Bucket: ContainerFurnitureCommon

1 98,000 Table: BrimstoneNamed

Rolling on a Table

To process a Loot table to see what entry(s) are hit the following steps occur.

1. The initial range is determined as 0 to RollRangeMax

2. Loot Luck is added to the floor (1% = 100), if the table is AddToRoll the ceiling is also

changed

3. A random number within that range is generated. The highest entry on the table that the

number is greater than or equal to is hit.

4. If the Threshold values for 2 or more entries are equal, then for an AND table all are hit. For

an OR table it will choose randomly between them, equal chance for each,

Using the BrimstoneSarcophagi above with 40% luck here is what would happen.

1. The range is 4,000 to 100,000. Say the random number is 93,000.

2. The value 93,000 is greater than the ContainerFurnitureCommon (85,000), but less than the

next (98,000). Therefore the ContainerFurntitureCommon entry is hit.

3. The applicable list of items from ContainerFurnitureCommon bucket will be picked from at

random (so if there are 20 items you have a 1 in 20 chance). Note that each entry in the

Bucket can have a condition e.g. zone must be Brimstone.

4. The BrimstoneSarcophagi is an AND table, so all the entries below 93,000 are also

processed. So the next the ContainerLootLargeExtra table will be processed using the same

steps as described above i.e. the range will be determined, a new random roll made and the

entry(s) hit processed.

Note that the 0 for the range of the first 5 entries means that those will always be hit i.e. you will

always get a drop from those tables since the random roll can never be negative.

Also notice that the ContainerLootGearLeveled has an item range of 1..2. This means you get 1 or 2

rolls on that table.

Buckets

A bucket is a list of ItemId’s each with an optional set of conditions (tags) that must apply for that

item to be included in the list when rolling on the table. Rolling on a bucket is not affected by luck,

the item is randomly picked from the applicable list of items with an equal chance for each.

Some examples of Tags (conditions) are

•Named: named mob must have dropped the loot bag

•Elite: elite mob must have dropped the loot bag

•Brimstone: current area must be brimstone

•MutDiff1: mutation difficulty must be at least M1

•DungeonThorpe: mob that dropped the bag must be Depths Thorpe

•Ancient: mob that dropped the bag must have been Ancient

Some others are player level, mob level etc. A bucket item can have zero or more Tags, all Tags

must pass for that item to be included in the list of possible items from the list to roll against.

Example Buckets

Boss (open world and dungeon) Artifacts (partial)

ArtifactMaster

artifact_set1_HeavyChest MobLevel: 62+

PlayerLevel:62+

MutDiff1, DryadSiren

artifact_set1_HeavyHands MobLevel: 62+

PlayerLevel:62+

MutDiff1, Isabella2

...etc

The above the is the first 2 entries of the ArtifactMaster Bucket. The complete bucket is simply a

list of all artifacts with a different Tag for the boss that drops it. Therefore there will only ever be

one applicable entry and so that entry will always be picked.

Notice that the decision as to whether to get an artifact is made via the Loot Table rolls. Once the

ArtifactMaster bucket has been hit it only determines which artifact.

Major Corruption Breach Artifacts

ArtifactMasterDarkness

artifact_set1_LightHead PlayerLevel: 62+

artifact_set1_2hGreatAxe PlayerLevel: 62+

The above the is the table for artifacts from corruption breeches. So if the player is at least level 62

then both entries apply. It will therefore be 50/50 as to which you get.

NOTE: I do not know how it works once you have one of entries. There are 2 possibilities

•A 50/50 roll is made then the check to see if you already have the artifact is done and if you do

then you get nothing

•The item you have is removed from the list first and it is therefore 100% that you get the other.

This is what I believe it does (based mostly on “surely they would do that”)

For most Buckets this is not important, since you can get a drop multiple times, but for artifacts it

does since they may add more artifacts to this table.

Effect of Luck

There are 3 important points regarding the effect of luck on loot table rolls.

1. ClampToMax Tables are barely affected by Luck

For example the BrimstoneSarcophagi table shown above has a BrimstoneNamed table that you

must roll 98,000 to 100,000 to hit i.e. by default you have 2% chance.

If you have 50% luck then the range is 5,000 to 100,000 (1% = 100 to the roll).

The chance is therefore size of Entry Range (2,000) divided by Ceiling-Floor (95,000)

So your 2% becomes (2000 / 95000) * 100 = 2.105%

This is probably why people think luck “doesn’t work”.

2. AddToRoll OR Tables luck only affects the first and last entry

The floor and ceiling move for AddToRoll tables. So if the (say) 2nd last entry still has the same

range so is unchanged.

Imagine a dice is rolled and if the value is 3 or 4 you win. If the game is changed so 1 is

added to the dice roll. You still have the same chance, it’s just that a roll of 2 or 3 gets 1

added making it 3 or 4.

Compare this with just moving the floor. So any roll of 1 is re-rolled, making the range 2 to

6. Your 2 in 6 chance of winning previously is now 2 in 5.

Note that for an AND table all entries below are hit so this does not apply.

In reality the Table entries you want to hit are the last entries since these contain the rare rewards.

There is an example where this is not the case; the Powerful Redono Mount Charm is the 2nd last

entry. The table is AddToRoll and so luck will not change it’s drop chance.

3. Luck works well for AddToRoll Tables

For example the BrimstoneSarcophagi table shown above has a ContainerLootLargeExtra table.

That table is AddToRoll and has a ContainerTrophyArtifacts bucket that contains all the trophy

mats.

The bucket has a range of 99,500 to 100,000 (so 0.5%), but the table is AddToRoll so 40% luck

will make the roll range 4,000 to 104,000 and the entry 99,500 to 104,000. That’s 4.5%

Note the you still need to have hit the ContainerLootLargeExtra table. That has a 75,000+ roll

value, so 25% and then 4.5%

Example Drops

These give some examples of getting a drop. Note that there maybe other paths to obtaining the

item e.g. golden scarabs come from different chests each which have a different Loot Table

Stacked Deck (from Large Stockpile, Level 40)

The starting Loot Table for a Large Stockpile is ContainerLootLarge.

The entry to hit is ContainerLootLargeExtra, this has range of 75,000 however there is ceiling to

the entry since it is an AND table e.g. 88,000 hits the next entry, but will process all entries below.

The table is ClampMax so the first roll therefore needs to be greater or equal to 75,000..100,000

(25% chance).

The ContainerLootLargeExtra has a ContainerTrophyArtifcats bucket with a 99,500 (0.5%).

The table is AddToRoll so with 50% luck the range is Random(5,000 to 105,000) > 99,500 (5.5%)

The ContainerTrophyArtifcats has 23 items, however 10 of these require a level 56+ stockpile and

this is level 40. Therefore there are 13 items that apply so the chance of the Stacked Deck is 7.7%.

With 50% luck the odds of a Stacked Deck from a level36 to 55 Large Stockpile are therefore

25% * 5.5% * 7.7% => 0.106%

Of course the chance of any trophy mat is much higher.

Syncretic Bow (from Brimstone Named Mob)

Loot bags always start from CreatureLootMaster. This has CreatureLootNamed that is always hit.

The CreatureLootNamed has Bucket ZoneNamedItems with 50,000 (50%) chance. Since the table is

AND with AddToRoll, 40% Luck will make this 54%.

[UPDATE: In NW:A ZoneNamedItems is now 75%, so it’s 29%]

The ZoneNamedItems Bucket has 288 items, however only 24 items match the Tags; playerLevel,

Brimstone zone, Named mob. It is therefore a 4.17% chance of the Bow.

With 50% luck the odds of the Syncretic Bow are therefore

54% * 4.17% => 2.25%

[NW:A 29% * 4.17% => 1.21%]

Of course the chance of any Syncretic item are much higher (54% [29%]).

Adamant Perk Item

Adamant only drops from ContainerLootSmallLeveled.

This is an AND table so the table entry ContainerLootSmallLeveled_2 will always be hit.

ContainerLootSmallLeveled_2 is an OR table with a Condition of Level which means at player

level 9+ ContainerLootSmall is always hit. ContainerLootSmallLeveled_2 has a Qty of 1-2 so one

or two rolls will be made.

[ UPDTED: For Season5 – ContainerResourceRare now has 10% chance ]

TABLE: ContainerLootSmall Type: OR

RollRangeMax: 100,000 RangeType: AddToRoll

Entries

Qty Threshold Entry Value

1 0 Table: ContainerLootSmallAmmoRoll

1 32500 Bucket: ContainerResources

1 79500 Bucket: AttributeItems

1 87499 Bucket: FemPattern

1 87500 Bucket: ContainerResourcesRare

1 97,500 Table: RareContainerList

[Update Fixed in Season5. ConainerLootSmall has a 10% chance now.

The ConainerResourceRare shares it’s entry with FemPattern. The ConainerLootSmall is an OR so

only one of these is hit on a roll of 92500 to 97500.

This means there is a 2.5% of hitting ContainerResourcesRare. 5% for the 5k range and then 50/50

as to whether FemPattern or ContainerResourcesRare is used.

NOTE: Since ContainerLootSmall (which we hit 100% of the time from small containers) is an

AddToRoll it means that luck moves the floor and the ceiling range. Therefore Luck does not

affect the chance of hitting ContainerResourcesRare e.g. a roll of 87500 to 97500 is still 10% on a

range of 4k to 104k (assuming 40% luck). Luck would increase the chance of hitting

RareContainersList

Note however that One or Two rolls are made on the ContainerLootSmall table (because of

ContainerLootSmallLeveled_2 Qty). This increases the 10% chance of hitting the

ContainerResoursesRare bucket.

[ UPDATED For Season5 10% ContainerResourceRare chance ]

The total chance is the average of getting it with one roll or two rolls

•10% to hit the ConainterResourcesRare bucket. That is 1 in 10 (100/10 = 10)

•1 – (9/10 * 9/10) chance to hit it at least once when rolling twice

•One Roll = 0.1 (1/10)

Two Rolls = 0.19 (see above)

Average = (0.1 + 0.19) /2 = 0.29

•29% chance

The ConainterResourcesRare bucket has all perk items, but each have Zone tags. The each of the

tags for the Adamant zones have different numbers of perk items; Brimstone 29,

Reekwater 45, Everfall 34, FirstLight 35, GreatCleave 36

[NW:A The above are all +4 because of the 4 new Fishing Perk drops]

E.g. For Brimstone once the bucket has been hit the Adamant item has a 1 in 29 chance. Multiply

that by the chance of hitting the bucket (0.29) to get the total chance of getting Adamant from a

Brimstone small container.

Brimstone (1 / 29) * 29% = 1% = 1 in 100)

ReekWater, using 1 in 45 = comes out at 1 in 155.

[NW:A Brimstone (1 / 33) * 29% = 1 in 114 (0.879%)]

[NW:A Reekwater (1 / 49) * 29% = 1 in 169 (0.592%)]

NOTES - New World: Aeternum

The following are some notes for NW:A. This is the current state at the time of the open beta, so

still a month until full release

NW:A Drops

•Gorgon’s Eye – Each Raid Boss and Completion box have 100% drop rate and weekly limit

of 1 (so 4 max)

•Gorgonite Schematic – 1 in 200 chance of dropping on completion of 1st, 2nd and 3rd wave

of raid. Type of Schematic drop varies for each boss.

NOTE: Currently it’s impossible to get most schematics as wave tags aren’t set. I’m hoping

this is a mistake, by AGS, but as it stands only some schematics can drop on raid

completion.

•Goldcursed Coconut – 1 per week. 100% chance from first Elite FFA chest.

•Fishing Perks - 1 in 300 (roughly) except Morningdale which is 1 in 400

•Portal Perk Drops – 1% of drop then 4% for specific perk e.g. Hardened Crystal

•Raid Boss Drops – 100% from each boss (once per week each boss)

•Major Sandwurm Spoils – 50% chance of second named gear piece

•Minor Sandwurm Spoils – 20% chance of named gear

•Elite Doubloon Cache - 2% Golden Scarab. Basically same as Glyph chest

•OPR Artifacts – 100% (from 10%). There are currently 2, so that’s still 50/50 if you get one

if already have one

•Goldcursed Epic Crate – 5% Leggo, 35% epic, 60% rare gear.

•Formidale Warrior’s Cache

◦OPR Win – 1%, 2.5%. 5%. Not sure what it’s based on. Likely score.

◦3v3 Win – 5%

◦Garnet Gypsum – 2.5% so whenever get Garnet have 2.5% chance of box

Existing Drop Changes

•Dungeon Materia – Possibly more (500 or 1000 lv60+), not sure

•Named Item Sets (woodgrain, lifering etc) – 50% drop from Named Mob → 25%

•Mob Random Sets (forsaken, ancient, defiled etc) – 10% more likely

•Fewer Dungeon Boss gear (e.g. Guardian, Porcelain etc) – From 2 rolls for drops to 1

•Chest Ammo → Pots

•Fewer Common Perk mods in general

•Transmog Token Purse – Removed

•Mount Attachments (Grey) e.g. Lost Mount Attachment – Removed

•M3 Mounts (Golda, Wolfgang, Godfret) - Removed

•Portal Drops

◦Fragments – More drops, more likely and higher level

◦Equipment – Higher chance of better leveling gear

◦Perks – Less chance of perks from Major Portals

==== Fishing Luck ====

NW:A changes the fishing (again). So I’ll cover the drop tables here since lots of people like fishing

and now that the Leggo Fish Food is the BiS (+48 stats) fishing has value.

There are two modifiers for the rolls; rarity and size. These modifiers are used when rolling on the

appropriate table depending on whether the Tag; “FishRarity” or “FishSize” set. The actual

adjustment to the roll is

+ Fish Rarity Mod * 10000

+ Fish Size Mod * 10000

Bait Changes

Many of the existing changes are simplified to 3 new tiers of bait; T3 (Basic - blue), T4 (Premium -

Purple) and T5 (Exceptional – Orange). So many of your existing baits will be auto-changed into

one of these. See the table Below

If (say) we hit the FreshFishCommonSize table then that has the FishSize tag, so out mod of

6.5 means that 65000 will be added to the floor (ClampMax). If we then hit the

FishCommonLargeFresh bucket it has tags based on the zone you are fishing in e.g.

Reekwater.

The main drops are Legendary Fish and Chests.So FishRarity is the bonus you want to max. The

FishSize bonus doesn’t matter unless if you are target fishing, say, “Large Piranha”, then

obviously does.However if you are target fishing I assume you know what you are doing.
