I think everyone has their own personal GM waiting and watching everything you do, they decide if you can succeed in alchemy, they decide if you'll die, they decide if you lag out, they decide all the damage you do and they decide if you crit and block.
Yes, we're all watched.......
But on a more sane and serious note, I think there is more to the whole luck thing but on "standard" everyone is the same.

Hmm... I think some characters are more lucky than others. For instance, I can +5 anything on my main character, but on my stall character i have a hard time +3'ing anything.
But every weapon you pick up has a % of luck for alchemy.
So you think it's just coincedence that some chars get SoX like its a gold drop and some chars think its a "Once in a lifetime opportunity" to get a SoX?

Most of those people have had low level SoX drops which really are not that rare. Every item picked has a % of luck though. I got 3 SoX at low levels on my character and nothing at high levels, with every degree the chances slim. SoX are rare for a reason, if they weren't we'd all drop one.

my friend made a lvl76+5 sword and also a +5 shield, so i taught he might be lucky and i handed my sword over to him, he couldnt even get it to +3:( so i think its not the luck of a character, but the luck of the item^^

Well, my speculation is that there are no lucky or unlucky items or people.
I think the standard deviation of the probability of success just increases as you get a higher +. That's why people think "OMG +7 LUCKY WEP"... when an individual observation says NOTHING about the "population". (Population meaning the true formula used to calculate success of enhancement.)

I forget where It's written maybe in the help but it says blatantly every Weapon/Armor has a % of luck for alchemy.
I believe in lucky/unlucky items. I've had some weapons that would not go to +3, so I'd resell it and buy a new one... The new one would go to +7 in 7 elixirs. I think they even stated somewhere in the game that all items have a set amount of luck.
Although there have been times when I had trouble getting something to +3/4 and my friend would get it to +5 in one try. xD
Edit: Found it. Just press H for Help and look under alchemy.

Me and my friends were arguing if there was a such thing as Silkroad luck.
Reading many posts here on SRF I believe there is a generated luck when you create your character or when you pick up a weapon.
My friends think that is complete nonsense.
Example: A char getting ton of SoX during the "lifetime" of the char, A weapon not being able to get to +3
So, do you guys believe there are Lucky/Unlucky Chars and Lucky/Unlucky Weapons?
Discuss :]
Each item have his own luck,if you don't trust me joymax himself wrote it on "help"(you just need to look in game,press H and find it). EDIT:ahhh don't saw the post before..-.-
Item luck has been proven as per the help section.
As far as character luck? I don't believe in it. Some people get many sox's and some people gewt none. It's a game of simple chance. Each mob in my opinion has a fixed probability of dropping an item. Some people simply get more than others, the individual gets lucky on a basis of pure chance. It has nothing to do with individual character luck.

I would rather view it as: They get lucky all the time in the sense that, when it happens that an SOx is randomized to be dropped, they happen to be the one around..
_________________ Plvling an attack fellow is kinda hard
my main character is unlucky..barely got my set to +3 and never found any sox
on the other hand..i once made a noob char..got him to lvl 12..and found about 10 sox items..in 2 days..it was ridiculous..they were all robes/armors tho
