my gl was the first on our server to get 2nd rb 2 days ago. thus everyone was hording around him for lucky time in market causing many nubs not being able ot log on heh heh anyways 4 of my friend managed with lucky time to make 1 soc each in boots with just 5 mets although this could all be a concidence shud we start spamming 5 mets per item w/ lucky time

also ive noticed boots + 1 met usually is the soc item everythign else is usually 2 mets and items level 100 have sockets too that people have made


and also i dont believe in lucky time i used 2h got 1 +1 6 mets and lots of ref 30 mins after i used up luccky time i picked up 2 dbs in one scatter ^^


*note do peasants drop mets or dbs? kidna useless cuz a noob can just stand on ur met now but just felt like asking

while sum1 is giving you lucky time you essentially save up all of your lucky time untill they stop giving it to you,

after that you start using up the lucky time u have saved it, lucky time lasts from the second it starts counting down, untill it runs out,

it supposidly increases your chances of getting sockets when:

metting,
dbing,
repairing...? (read it on the website ages ago i think)
composing...? (read it on the website ages ago i think)

lucky time also increases ur the amount of exp you get and item drops...

phesants no longer drop mets and dbs....

Someone I know spammed about 100 mets with lucky time. No luck.

I don't think the 2nd rb lucky time is a big enough factor to affect upgrading/socketing.

My assumption is that it works based on some very miniscule percentage of activation because the little ribbon pops up above a character when double damage is dealt or when 0 damage is taken. When activated, the item upgrades/sockets/etc.

I saw from the site that the quality of the item will increase when you repair your items.

does that mean that you can get about 40(exaggeration) -5 earrings and start upgrading to ref, then lower the dura by 1 then repair to uni, then to eli and then to super?

Will the quality even work everytime?

My opinion if lucky time is based on the same ratio as to "how lucky you get" as "db, super, elite ect drops" it will be worthless. As soon as i finish this long ass boring quest i'll let you know.
