Terraria Luck Explained in Under 5 Minutes
+200 Magic Find!
Luck is a hidden stat in Terraria that increases your chances of some random events in Terraria. Item drop rates will become more common, as well as Golden Critter chances, Dungeon Spirits spawns, and even damage calculations, meaning that having positive Luck can literally increase your DPS.

>I won't go over the math
aaaaand dropped
This video is the retelling of how I killed 200 turtles without getting a single turtle shell
The Fact that that he uses Photon's video for an explanation of luck is kinda funny (Well, not really cause they are friend (?))
Bad torch luck is gone. Using the wrong torch in a biome gives no luck increase nor a decrease
Small tidbit of info: You cannot get ladybug luck when petting a ladybug that was spawned by statues or released by players. You can still, however, get bad luck when slaying them even if they were spawned by players or from statues with the exception of them dying to lava/traps or to hostile mobs.
In hindsight, just try not to kill 'em and get the book from the furry!
so wait, what if i placed down a normal torch down in lets say the ice biome, but also placed a ice torch close by. Would this over ride the normal torch ? I ask because i would really not like to go around and replace all the normal torches .
what about bone torches? can you stack them with biome torches to increase luck?

So in order to get good luck, you need good luck?
Great video. Simplifies an intimidating amount of information and math provided on the wikis.
can we just get a stat sheet already rather than trying to guess or add up our stats? this stuff shouldn't be hidden or even vague for how important it is.
used it to get mystic frog but I don't really know if it affected it since it still took a few hours
thanks terraria!
I got a Joja cola on my second fish tempt and accidentally drank it.
2:12 If I remember correctly Torches in wrong biomes dont reduce your luck anymore said by Red, since he got a little bit of backlash when it comes to that, so instead it does nothing if the torches aren’t in the right biome.
2:50 Nvm
And if mercury is in retrograde you get an extra sliver of luck
…I just have garden gnomes because I like gnomes…
I think luck is generally a cool mechanic in games. I kinda wish there were more ways to increase and decrease it though. The labor of love update did add a few ways, which is cool, like throwing coins in shimmer and wearing a Lucky Horseshoe (I'm not sure about this one, but judging from the new tooltip of the Lucky Horseshoe and the fact that the wizard gave a higher luck dialogue while wearing it, this seems to be the case.)
I accidently got rod of discord on my 49th kill 😉
I know it's alittle older and completely off topic but what is the jabbing weapon he's using in the background of the first part of the video?
What is the weapon being used in this vid
I saw it. Wasted alot of time but i saw it.
never knew this was a thing its a lil confusing
Although this luck thing looks complicated, at least i got a lava charm inside my first obsidian crate because i applied the mechanism on my playthrough
“There was a section here about the touching distance math but c’mon that’s so boring so yeah gl seeing this” – the secret comment for whoever can’t get it.
i farmed for 4 hours to get rod of discord with almost max luck and didnt get it makes me wanna cry
saw it
oh so that is why i killed 800 chaos elementals without getting my rod of discord for fucks sake
Good luck seeing this? Good luck seeing this? Challenge complete.
underrated youtuber
Man luck is very poorly implemented in the game especially at the beginning, since nobody would know it especially to casuals who just regularly play Terraria, why learn this thing when the game barely gives you an indication on your luck unless you talk to the NPC and that's also on top of RNG, I just wished there was an item what's your current luck is, or just removed it.
Like for me I played Terraria a lot and I didn't know Ladybug luck exist, I only know "luck" existing but not this specific creature giving me bad luck if I killed it, wish there was an audio cue or text cue on type your luck is.
Yeah, touching distance math is kinda boring
Does it work if the ladybug is in the terrarium
What happens if you catch ladybugs/golden ladybugs and put them in terrariums?
i tried this and actually got the full mining set from undead miners! torch god event is the first thing I'm going to do in a new world if i have enough torches
I would be fine with the entire luck mechanic gone from the game, it's just bad design
Luck sucks so hard
They need to rework fishing
Like just for the audience retention joke 🙂
Really good video! I got the info i needed and if i wanted more i could pause n look at the stats. Very imformative and quick! <3
i played terraria for nine years and never knew "torch luck" was a thing.
Does luck affect dodge chançe
So you're telling me torch god's drop was actually incredibly useful
I did not understand anything, so
You can also toss coins into shimmer to get coin luck, with increasing value coins (platinum) giving you more luck
