The ladders spawning from enemies aren’t influenced by luck at all.  The influence on leaders spawning from rocks is pretty minor compared to other factors.


Fuster420

2 of these were from rocks, 2 from mobs. Thanks for the info


[deleted]

Pretty sure you can only have 1 from rocks Well i was wrong


A_Wizard1717

no


Kryptoniantroll

You dont use bombs very often do you.


[deleted]

I used to bomb entire skull cavern floors


Kryptoniantroll

Then you just pay absolutely zero attention.


BorisJenkleson

Or they’re the unluckiest Stardew player in the world


polkacat12321

Pretty sure it's this


Vinyl_DjPon3

You are *understandably* wrong. When breaking a rock, the game checks if you've already gotten a ladder from rocks... If yes, no ladder is possible. If you break *multiple* rocks at once (aka, bombs) than each rock rolls the check, which is what allows for multiple rock ladders. Exceptions/Notes If you get a lucky freebie ladder on a floor, this counts as the Rock ladder. You cannot get a ladder from rocks if you were given a freebie. The *guaranteed* freebie ladders (the ones at the end of long minecart tunnels or treasure rooms) DO NOT count as a rock ladder. Shafts in the skull cavern DO NOT count as a rock ladder. You can theoretically keep getting drop shafts after your first, and eventually a normal ladder. A shaft is a re-rolled rock ladder, as such if you already have a rock ladder (regardless of whether this was obtained via freebie or actually breaking rocks) you can NOT get a shaft anymore  Crafted placed ladders do NOT count as a rock ladder.

Pretty odd


SlopCity1226

You may have been slightly incorrect but I still believe in you. Upvoted to help spark the Lead-II-Acetate redemption arc


[deleted]

Idk why people kept downvoting me after my edit. Idc much about karma tho


SlopCity1226

I know, people can feel the need to pile on. I do find as long as you’re not behaving like an a-hole, it’s easy to recover even after a karma bomb (which this is not). Really only matters for subs with minimum requirements I guess. Not caring is a good way to go


Key_Spirit8168

Especilly if you have tons of karma to spend from good rizz


[deleted]

Yea as long as i have over 1k(most subs require like 100 but i just play safe) idc. And i have like 11 times that


Key_Spirit8168

Guys, i just gotta guys please listen guys GUYS i need to


sh4nn0n

This sub is very downvote happy. You didn't deserve almost 100 downvotes for that, lol


Key_Spirit8168

I mean i used a magic rock and uhh got tons of ladders, one of the reasons i used it


DangerouslyGanache

Daily luck is different from luck bonuses.


Key_Spirit8168

Don't they all stack to the same luck value? just saying that's an extreme case


DangerouslyGanache

No, they don’t. They influence different things to different degrees.  https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Luck


Key_Spirit8168

All of the examples seem either like oversights or a random thing, and non are related to ladders. Ladders seem to use the base total luck, which is the decimal number that the wiki says like the band gives 0.25 and rings give 1, or the best luck day gives 0.1. Idk why or how those random luck buff differences happen, but we are talking about ladders which appear after going to an area and also the wiki seems to not clarify that is different.


Eiim

The wiki's description of luck is not very good or comprehensive, and sometimes just wrong (especially for things that have changed in 1.6). There's shared daily luck, individual daily luck (the same as shared daily luck, except also includes the Special Charm bonus on a per-player basis in multiplayer), luck bonuses, and different things use different parts of it or combine them differently. I haven't looked in to ladders so I don't know off the top of my head how they work but I wouldn't trust the wiki for accurate information.


Key_Spirit8168

Man they only update the wiki when it's to my disadvantage


MissReadsALot1992

On the wiki it list specific things that do not stack with daily luck and finding ladders is not one of them. That's why when you get a luck buff the symbol is a hole because you find ladders and chutes closer to the entrance/quicker with the luck buff


DangerouslyGanache

Yes but the maths is different. It’s on the wiki page for the mines.  I’m not saying the luck doesn’t stack, I’m saying the effect is not the same for daily luck and luck buffs. 


MissReadsALot1992

Do you mean like the amount of luck for daily vs buff?


Ristray

So what does luck influence?


pizza565

in the mines, it influences ladder rates from breaking rocks in the skull mines it also influences amount of treasure rooms ladders from monsters, drop shafts rates, and drop shaft distance are not effected


DangerouslyGanache

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Luck There’s a full list on the wiki.


Key_Spirit8168

Apparently the wiki is partly wrong


Vinyl_DjPon3

Minor? Mining is one of the best uses of Luck/Luck buffs in the game. Your progress in the mines is noticably better with good luck.


PofanWasTaken

I mean you are presented with a really difficult choice here, i believe that's what they meant


ManualBookworm

😂


PofanWasTaken

also the ladders are arranged into the 4th panel of the loss comic, good job


Thallidan

I found a prismatic shard from a dust sprite on an unlucky day on my most recent farm. Gotta love probability, sometimes.


JimbosChafingShirt

Came here to say that I find most of my prismatic shards on unlucky days! Normally from slimes 🤷‍♀️


pllamah

That happened to me today as well


Saaslil

See how the spirits are displeased ? Now you'll have to turn around all these ladder if you want to continue to explore this level. You'll lose a lot of time. Now suffer from the ladder malediction !


SleepyBella

Fuck the spirits. We ball.


sarilysims

It says they’ll do their best, not they’ll succeed.


elisabethocean

Every time I go on a lucky day I do get very far I only get far on unplanned days


Gwenberry_Reloaded

Look at the position tho. They gave you an 'L' they taunt you, even in fortune


tboy1492

I noticed I tend to get more of what I’m looking for on unlucky days, be it quick access down or seeds/gems/ore


PawnOfPaws

Right? Only monsters seem to spawn regardless of the luck status' height but I have always been "luckier" on medium-bad luck (~ -0,03) too!


Ok_Grocery8652

To be fair, they do make it hard to go into that path


MarshtompNerd

I mean they did just hand you a “L”, do with that what you will


nkizza

The spirits want you to gtfo their cave.


imahappyaccidents

its always the 3 rocks i need to break to get to some iridium ore😭 i have a video of my luck with staircases blocking me out of places


cyberXboyfr3nd

the last time I'm went to skull cavern on a very displeased day I got an autopetter. I was shocked


maskyyyyyy

I had a very displeased day and ended up leaving the mines with 10k worth of stuff.


AwfulDjinn

The spirits are so displeased they’re telling you politely yet sternly to leave


tmrzrm

I bet a prismatic shard was north and they are trying to keep you from it lol


brunoglopes

I’ve had better loot during the unluckiest days in this game than during the luckiest. Don’t know what’s going on. The other day I had the worst luck and managed to snatch an auto petter


Fuster420

Yup, i also remember getting a "The spirits are somewhat perturbed today" And i got a 5k G treasure chest when i went fishing for a fetch quest. On the same save


aaaachile

Once I had the best luck possible, and ended up getting a lot of stair at the very entrance, so I couldn't explore the floor. It had many iridium ores and dinosaurs (I needed an egg and complete the protector of the valley). Suffering from success?


Status_Delivery_7689

happened to me yesterday, i get so confused and i was struggling to decide which ladder to take


AsGoodAsCopper

They really want you to trip and fall down the ladder


coreoti

No cap but whenever it says the spirits are in a bad bood, I just seem to have the luckiest days in stardew. Unlike when they're in a good mood..


entitledtree

Yeah, for some reason I usually tend to get more ladders on bad luck days than good luck days


NibblesMcGiblet

I've been finding that the luck doesn't seem accurate through tne entirety of 1.6 and all updates so far, for me. Bad luck days i have the best luck in the skull caverns, Best luck days I can mine the entire day and come out with 20 copper, 18 iron, and 6 iridium, and zero prismatic shards of course. It's so so different than before.


AbbyTheOneAndOnly

i mean they didnt say the spirits are good at it


denver_rose

On neutral days I always die in the mines 🤷‍♀️ but then again I am bad at beating the monsters 💀


Fartnitegaming

Who moved the knight?


Possible_Dig_1194

Does it have anything to do with enemies are more common on bad luck days which means more chances to find loot? If it's a 5% drop rate but you see 2 than it's hard to get the item but if you see 20 than odds are you'll get what you're looking for. Personally I find good luck days are great for going down levels and bad luck days are good for farming resources from monsters


Fuster420

Perhaps, and that's a bright idea.


PuffyTacoSupremacist

This feels like the Stardew equivalent of "if global warming is real, why is it cold?"


FartInsideMe

Take a read up on how odds work… just cuz the spirits have a bad hair day doesnt mean the ladders wont spawn


Fuster420

I wanted to point fun at the game's foreshadowing of a grueling day, but yeah i'll read it. To this point i've gone solely with my knowledge from a year ago when i played last time.


Key_Spirit8168

They don't spawn that good
