Lucky Charms get used

I am curious about Lucky Charms i thought they were only suppose to get used if the link failed. I have had times where the lucky charm does not disappear after successfully linking but most of the time it disappears either way. Can a GM clarify for me if they are not suppose to disappear unless the link fails then please contact the Devs and get it fixed.

It has always been like that. The description is misleading, yes. But if a lapis has a chance to break your gear one lucky charm will get used per linking attempt regardless of success or fail. If I recall right the following lapises does that: level 7 non-debuff, sonic, flash, absorption, accessory .

As stated, the Lucky Charm is used regardless during link.

Success or Fail it will be used.

Also, so other players can see this as well, the Lucky Charm does not work with extraction it will only protect an item if you are Linking a Lapis into an item.

Lucky Charm item description needs to be changed to reflect with 100% accuracy what it says it will do. It clearly states that the Lucky Charm will be used upon failure, thus magically preserving the item that would have broken. However, logic would tell us that since there is nothing in the item description of the Lucky charm that ALSO states it will be used regardless of success AND failure, that these types of inaccuracies will continue to foster posts like this.

Therefore, either change the coding to NOT consume the lucky charm upon a successful link OR change the item description that will state that the Lucky Charm will be used regardless of success or failure. Simple enough solution, and yet this hasn't been worked on for awhile now like a lot of other game issues unfortunately.

So let's look at it logically just based off the name.

If it is a Lucky Charm, you would need the luck with success or fail. You don't know if you are going to be lucky prior to the link. So you use the lucky charm in case of failure.

See how it makes sense now Smile

no offence broffie love you much but dont ever debate with a Vulcan...

Cause logic say:

- if break - use charm - logical
- If not break - charm intact - to me sounds also logical...
- If use PLH - should not go poof at all cause there no chance at all on failure YET... it does.. why?




Now lets see shaiya dev logic...

- Break - use charm
- not break linked - use charm
- PLH - ...just use charm...

Because they want your money, and even if what you're linking is 1% possibility they will squeeze every last penny out of you Laughing
