My Time At Sandrock: Luck, Explained

My Time At Sandrock: All Treasure Chest Locations

Don't dwell on taking cooking ingredients from random, hidden chests in My Time at Sandrock - it gets gross if you think too much about it...

Intro

What Does Luck Impact?

In My Time at Sandrock, you're definitely no stranger to breaking down items in search of scraps or materials, but new players don't always realize that your Luck stat influences the rarity of your item drops and finds.

If you're out collecting materials around Sandrock, a high Luck stat is your ticket to rarer materials and more materials than you'd normally receive.

Any time you kick trees, break rocks, bust up ore nodes, or scrounge for scrap, your odds of finding better drops improve regardless of which material you're hunting.

Additionally, when you're making things on Workshop machines or at the Assembly Station, you'll have a much better chance of producing a high-quality good while your Luck stat is higher.

Improving the quality of an item can be quite costly using the Refiner, so skip the refining step and get to crafting when you're feeling your luckiest!

Finally, Luck also seems to help improve your damage in combat. Our builders seem to deal more damage with better Luck skills than they did with regular stats.

The best Luck buff we've seen in My Time at Sandrock is a +777 Luck stat, which is indicated by a four-leaf clover in your stats and buffs menu.

Overall, it's best to check your stats regularly to see when you're the Luckiest. If you've got specific resources you need or quality materials for Commissions and don't want to deal with the Refiner, work on them when you're feeling Lucky for better results.

How To Raise Your Luck

Initially upon beginning My Time at Sandrock, the Luck mechanic isn't as imperative, as you'll need fairly basic items to start. As you get later in the game, though, and begin to require rarer materials for quests, you'll need to begin paying attention to your Luck.

With the majority of your stats in My Time at Sandrock operating as hidden mechanics, Luck can be a bit difficult to influence, requiring plenty of meals, armor, and furniture to improve.

When consuming meals, check each meal's stats in the item description before you cook and eat - different meals can impart different perks like defense or attack boosts, and Luck is but one of the boosts offered by food in Sandrock.

When putting a new article of clothing onto your builder, check the stats of each piece of armor you equip! They'll always offer things like better defense or Critical chances in battle, but some offer improved Luck as well.

As for furniture, you can always check the board in your house to see which pieces of furniture are impacting which stats. You'll earn bonus stats just for having specific pieces of furniture placed in your home, so check the status effects before choosing your decor.
