Just got my first lucky bonus today from S3 Glas, managed to collect a whopping 3 bars (~116k gold) before the raid leader closed the party.../killself. Anyway, that got me looking around for more info on this system (specifically 'current' aka post Rise NA's version), but I couldn't find much in the way of 'real data'. I've only found 1 screenshot from someone that posted showing most of the gold stuck in the ceiling in Secret Naught Chamber (see results of that below).

So, I was wondering if anyone would share their experiences and any solid numbers / screenshots of their results.

Secret Naughty Chamber results from post I saw:
Drops: 30
Max Value: $46,053
Min Value: $15,089
Avg. Value: $31,401
Total Value: $942,019

Picture of what the Gold Bars look like for anyone that has never seen them:

Updates (what we think we know): [last update 12/16/2017]
-How are these bonuses triggered?
Periodically the server has an 'open period' during which any person inside a battle area is capable of generating this event by defeating a boss/regular monster or by breaking an object (for you or a different person in your party). There seems to be a maximum of 2 people per period that can obtain this bonus (at least I've never seen more than 2 announced). The value ranges of the gold bars available depends on your +Luck stat. The gold bars will not teleport to your location, so bars getting stuck in the ceiling / behind walls / in inaccessible areas may be an issue.

Gold Values (based on +Luck):
100-103 : ~1m?
110 : ~1.5m?

Open Questions:
Values of gold dropped modified by source? Boss > regular monster > object?
How many 'open periods' per day?
Spacing of said periods?
Gold dissapears quickly?
Gold bars always total 30?

    The chance of it happening is time based and theres a limit to how many can get it within a certain period. Essetially, more people on the server playing = less chance you will get the bonus.

    More luck = more gold, with a cadet badge you usually get 1.5m gold but it seems that if an object drops the gold, it drops a lot less than a monster does.

    I think it change a bit. It used to be that it disappeared, and it was tough to even realize you got it sometimes. (Heck the first time I got it someone else in the party broke it, and by the time I noticed lots of gold was all around I had enough time to walk over like 2 bars before it disappeared/the announcement saying how much I picked up appeared.)

    The last time I got it was in bloodprince (few weeks back). That time the gold never disappeared, but the announcement popped up almost immediately after I broke the wood. The issue was that ~500k seemed to manage to get between the walls.

    Just do your dailies + break everything. (Spear lann makes that easy ;-) But yeah it wont happen often, and should only be thought of as a nice bonus from what you would normally get from S3 dailies.

    Got it the other day doing a Donegal daily run, but the gold bars were literally impossible to pick up. They weren't inaccessible, the game just wouldn't let me acquire them. Needless to say, I was miffed.

    Just made some updates to the OP based on feedback and my own observations. Feel free to keep adding your experiences / argue what I wrote as 'what we know'.

    Back when AU server was separate, I used to get it once every couple of days, 400k-1.4m. Now I never get it.

    I just thought it was a bonus you get at the end of the mission, like extra acquired gold, not literal bars.
    Guess it's hard to know a feature when you've never seen it at all :*
