Does Loot Luck Carry Between Characters in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?
The short answer is yes, some forms of loot luck do carry over between your characters in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, but not all of it. This means you won’t be starting from zero loot luck every time you create a new Fatemaker. This is a welcome change from the game’s initial launch, where players had to painstakingly rediscover all the lucky dice for each new character. Let’s delve into the specifics of how loot luck works and what carries over, to make sure you maximize your loot potential in the Wonderlands.
How Loot Luck Works in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Before we get into what carries over, let’s understand how loot luck functions in the game. Loot Luck is a passive attribute that directly influences the quality of gear you receive from defeated enemies and chests. This isn’t just about finding more loot, it’s about finding better loot, including those coveted Legendary items.
The Formula
The exact formula for calculating loot drop chances is a bit complex, but the key takeaway is this: your loot luck score directly increases your chances of getting rarer items. The formula is 1-((1-base chance)^luck), meaning as your ‘luck’ number goes higher, the chances of getting better items gets higher.
Increasing Your Loot Luck
Loot Luck isn’t static; it can be improved in several ways, some of which are permanent and some of which are temporary:
- Lucky Dice: These are the most significant source of permanent loot luck. Collecting them is a core part of the game.
- Amulets: Certain amulets offer a passive increase to loot luck.
- Shrine Challenges: Specifically, completing the Shrine of Aaron G grants a boost to loot luck.
- Myth Rank: This account-wide progression system can be invested in for loot luck bonuses.
- Character Level: Your loot luck will naturally increase as you level up your character.
- Major Luck Trophies: These collectibles provide a smaller but additive boost.
What Carries Over Between Characters?
Now that we have an idea of the various loot luck modifiers, let’s focus on what carries over between your Fatemakers:
Lucky Dice
The most significant change implemented post-launch is that lucky dice are now account-bound. This means that any dice you’ve found on one character will apply to all your other characters immediately. You won’t have to painstakingly rediscover them all again. This is a massive time-saver and makes leveling up alts far less tedious.
Myth Rank
Your myth rank is also account-wide. Any points you allocate to loot luck boosts within this system will apply to all characters.
Other Factors
It’s important to note that loot luck isn’t just about the permanent boosts. Factors such as your character level also have a significant impact, meaning you won’t have a maxed out loot luck from level 1.
