Luck

Fortune Teller

Luck is a statistic that affects many different aspects of the game, such as the drop rates of 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 food.

Daily Luck

You can check your daily luck 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 not affected by viewing the Fortune Teller Television Program (i.e., the luck value is not neutral if the player does not view the program, the luck value remains constant regardless. The Daily Luck value does not change if the day is restarted.)

Message	TV Display	Stat Bonus
The spirits are very happy today! They will do their best to shower everyone with good fortune.		Luck (+0.07 to +0.1)
The spirits are in good humor today. I think you'll have a little extra luck.		Luck (+0.02 to +0.07)
The spirits feel neutral today. The day is in your hands.		Luck (-0.02 to +0.02) but not 0
This is rare. The spirits feel absolutely neutral today.		Luck (0)
The spirits are somewhat annoyed / mildly perturbed today. Luck will not be on your side.		Luck (-0.07 to -0.02)
The spirits are very displeased today. They will do their best to make your life difficult.		Luck (-0.07 to -0.1)

Daily Luck Effects

Daily luck affects the following:

• Amount of wood dropped from trees
• Chance of getting coal from rocks
• Chance to discover ladders while Mining.
• Quality and number of ores obtained from Panning.
• Chance of getting a second item (in addition to ore) from Panning.
• Geode drop chance.
  • (Luck does not increase the chance to receive rare gems and artifacts from geodes.)
• Drop chance of Duck Feather and Rabbit's Foot.
• Chance of getting items from Garbage Cans and the chance the item is not trash.
• Chance your spouse will be jealous after giving a gift to another marriage candidate.
• Chance of treasure appearing while Fishing.
  • Chance of getting Neptune's Glaive from Fishing Treasure Chests.
• Results of playing slots at the Casino.
• Amount of lightning during a storm (higher luck = less lightning).
• Chance to double the number of extra crops yielded at harvest, for crops that allow extra harvests (i.e., Coffee Bean, Potato, Tomato, Blueberry, Hot Pepper, Eggplant, Cranberry, and Strawberry).

Luck Buffs

In addition to Daily Luck, Luck Buffs gained from eating food will temporarily affect the same aspects of the game as Daily Luck, with the exception of the drop chance of Duck Feather and Rabbit's Foot. The following dishes provide a temporary luck buff:

Trivia

• There is an unobtainable Special Charm that would increase the chances for maximum daily Luck. It would appear in your Wallet between the Club Card and the Skull Key if it were implemented in the game.
