'''Luck''' is a statistic that affects many different aspects of the game, such as the drop rates of [[Minerals#Geodes|geodes]] and chance of getting treasure from [[Fishing]]. There are two kinds of luck: Daily Luck, which is determined by the game, and Luck Buffs gained from eating certain [[Cooking|food]].
'''Luck''' [[File:Luck.png|24px]] is a statistic that affects many different aspects of the game, such as the chance of finding [[Minerals#Geodes|geodes]] and chance of getting treasure from [[Fishing]]. There are several sources of luck: daily luck determined by the game, [[buffs]] gained from eating certain [[Cooking|food and drink]], a [[Special Charm]] which gives a small permanent luck boost, and the [[Lucky Ring]].

==Daily Luck==
The base value for daily luck is a randomly generated number from -0.1 to 0.1.<ref name="luck" /> If you have the [[Special Charm]], the value is increased by 0.025. Daily luck does not change if the day is restarted, but it can change if you replay the previous day.
The base value for daily luck is a randomly generated number from -0.1 (unlucky) to 0.1 (lucky).<ref name="luck" /> The value is increased by 0.025 with the [[Special Charm]]. The value is used in numerous ways; though it looks like a percentage equal to 10%, it is in fact treated differently in every situation and may have a minuscule or enormous effect depending on the activity.
Daily luck can be checked by right-clicking on the [[Television]] and selecting "Fortune Teller." The Fortune Teller will give an indication of the daily luck stat modifier. Luck is determined at the start of the day and is not affected by choosing to view the Fortune Teller Television Program. Daily luck does not change if the day is restarted, but it can change by replaying the previous day.
Before revealing the luck message, one of the following messages is shown randomly (the first two being gender-specific). They do not affect the luck in any way.

Daily luck has 201 possible values<ref name="luck"/>, so the probability of getting best possible luck, worst possible luck, and absolutely neutral luck are 1/201 each. Due to a rounding error in the game code, it's impossible to get absolutely neutral luck with the Special Charm<ref name="absolutely_neutral"/>.
===Special Charm===
After reading [[Secret Notes#Secret Note #20|Secret Note #20]] and solving the puzzle depicted, the player is awarded with a [[Special Charm]] that permanently increases daily Luck by 0.025.

==Luck Buffs==
==Luck Buffs==
Luck Buffs are temporary bonuses gained from:
* consuming certain [[Cooking|food and drink]]
* consuming dishes from the [[Desert Festival#Chef|Chef]] at the [[Desert Festival]]
* wearing the [[Lucky Ring]]
* receiving the Blessing of Luck buff from the [[Statue Of Blessings]]
Only one drink-derived buff and one food-derived buff can be active at a given time. However, dishes from the [[Desert Festival#Chef|Chef]] at the [[Desert Festival]] can stack on top of the food and drink buffs, which includes any luck buffs potentially received from the dishes. A buff of +2 for example may have similar effects to a daily luck value of 0.1, though it is treated differently in every situation and may have a minuscule or enormous effect depending on the activity.
The following foods provide a temporary luck buff:

===Luck Buff Effects===
Total luck buff is treated separately from total daily luck, and the effects of the two types of luck are not automatically the same; both the types of events affected by luck buffs and the magnitude of the effect can be different.
Known differences between daily luck and luck buffs include:
* Chances of receiving [[Duck Feather]] and [[Rabbit's Foot]] are not improved by luck buffs.
* For [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chest]] contents, a luck buff does not improve special item chances. Instead, it increases the chance of getting double quantities of resources and gems. It also allows standard rings ([[Glow Ring]], [[Magnet Ring]]) to appear in place of small rings ([[Small Glow Ring]], [[Small Magnet Ring]]).
* When breaking stone, chances for extra [[Cinder Shard]]s, [[Bone Fragment]]s, [[Clay]], [[Stone]], and all [[Ore]] depend on the player's [[Mining]] level and luck buffs, but not daily luck.<ref name="breakStone" />
* Weapon [[Crit. Chance]] is boosted by luck buffs but not daily luck.<ref name="damagemonster" />
* Chances of activating the [[Ring of Yoba]]<ref name="farmer_takedamage"/> or [[Warrior Ring]]<ref name="ring_onmonsterslay"/> are boosted by luck buffs but not daily luck.
* Chances of finding certain modified monster drops, including [[Mahogany Seed]], [[Galaxy Soul]], and [[Qi Gem]] depend on luck buffs but not daily luck.<ref name="monsterdrop"/>
