With the addition of +1 core for doing an 8 man quick battle and the temporary possibility of 130 LUK (Cadet Badge, Event Necklace, Strength in numbers event buff) it seems like a good time to discuss LUK again. I took this from the old forums (rip):
Originally Posted by Edelweiss: Each point of Luck gives you +1.5[%] chance of getting a white core on all black core drops not including the first black core dropped from a boss (kills only, breaks are counted the same as any other core). The first black core from a boss (kills) always has a 100% chance of dropping a white core if you have at least 101 Luck.

This means withe 107 Luck (Novice Badge), you have:
- First boss core has a 100% chance of dropping a white core.
- Second boss core has a 10.5% chance of dropping a white core.
- Third boss core has a 10.5% chance of dropping a white core.
- etc.

- All normal cores and break cores have a 10.5% chance of dropping a white core.

- "Bosses" are any monster that gives you a primary objective complete message on your screen when you defeat them. For example, The Red Bearer, The Reaper, and The Blood Drinker in Blood Prince are bosses, but Greed is not a boss in Ulchas's Relic.

The individual cores are independent of each other (if the second black core does not drop a white core, the third still can).

I haven't had the opportunity to test the effect of blessing stones yet, but most likely it adds a fixed amount of Luck to all party members.

I've been running abomination 2 times on 2 characters each and have noticed OJ's dropping in 50%+ of the runs (I do quick match) since the quick match patch. I attribute it to the extra core and increased luck. Today I got 8 cores in the first run and 9 cores in the second run with 100 LUK (VIP+quick battle+break+ blessing). So if the above quote is accurate and you have 130 LUK you are regularly seeing 9 cores. Has anyone got 10 cores? (Imagine if you were running the dragons quick battle HERO and got break during a +2 cores event. That would be 9 cores with a 10.5% chance.) What has been your observation so far?
