Actual effect of luck
"If the player's luck is 1.0, there's a 100% chance that the probability is doubled, leading to a final probability of 20%." This is not true. A luck value of 1.0 just means there's a 100% chance of the probability being modified; what the final probability becomes is still random. Using the given example of a 10% chance, assuming a luck value of 1.0, the probability goes from 1 in 10 to 1 in a random value between 5 and 9; this averages out to 7, meaning an average probability of approximately 14.3% (which is most certainly not 20%).

Luck on Combat
1) When a damage roll is made, is a crit roll also made? 2) Does this apply to received random damage? NoHomeLike192 168 8 1 (talk) 05:29, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Campfires...
At least some of the biome torches, and several of the other luck-affecting torches, also have campfires. Do those affect luck, or otherwise react to the biome they're placed in? --MentalMouse42 (talk) 01:19, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Nope! Campfires have absolutely no effect on luck, according to the code. Breathlessblizzard (talk) 01:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Skeleton Merchant inventory is affected by luck?
The main page about Luck says that Luck affects Traveling Merchant and Skeleton Merchant sell inventory, but Skeleton Merchant inventory is not defined when he spawns, and can even change based on conditions after he has spawned, so either his page is missing new items, or there's something wrong.
