This week, we've overhauled one of RuneScape's most venerable systems - luck.

Where there were once but a few ways of manipulating your combat and skilling fortunes, now there are more - tailored for various phases of your RuneScape adventure.

Since the Game Jam, Mod Timbo's worked tirelessly to gather your feedback and put together the rework released today. Read on for full details.

How Does Luck Work?

Luck is a hidden stat that affects your chance of benefiting from:

  • Rare drops from Slayer
  • Unique drops from bosses
  • Clue-specific rewards from clue scrolls
  • Favourable skilling procs (see below)
  • Accessing the rare drop table (now granting an additional drop, not a replacement)
Luck-enhancing items now fall on one of four tiers. Tiers 1-3 affect content specific to certain level ranges. Tier 4 affects content of all levels, along with some extra benefits of its own.

What Content Does Luck Affect?

Tier 1

  • Level 1-50 Slayer monsters
  • Easy clues
  • Bosses:

    KBD
  • Giant Mole


[*]Increased chance to access the rare drop table

Tier 2

  • Level 51-80 Slayer monsters
  • Skilling:

    Mining Gems
  • Jewelled statuettes and tradeable Sceptre from Pyramid Plunder
  • Opening Shade chests
  • Flash Powder Factory rubble searching


[*]Medium clues

[*]Bosses:
    Chaos Elemental

  • Kalphite Queen
  • Exiled Kalphite Queen
  • God Wars Dungeon 1 (not Nex)
  • Barrows
  • Dagannoth Kings


[*]Increased chance to access the rare drop table, and to receive better loot from it

Tier 3

  • Level 81-99 Slayer monsters
  • High-level skilling:

    Rare drops from Elf City pickpocketing
  • Increased chance of Black Ibis outfit
  • Improved loot from kingly implings
  • Improved chance of Sceptre of the Gods


[*]Hard clues

[*]Bosses:
    Queen Black Dragon

  • Nex
  • God Wars Dungeon 2 (not Telos)
  • Kalphite King
  • Corporeal Beast


[*]Further chance to access the rare drop table, and to receive better loot from it

Tier 4

  • All Slayer monsters
  • All skilling
  • Elite clues, and lower
  • Bosses:

    Angel of Death
  • Telos
  • Raids
  • Rise of the Six
  • Vorago
  • Araxxor/Araxxi
  • All lower-tier bosses


[*]Yet further increased chance to access the rare drop table, to receive better loot from it, and to receive certain unique drops.

I am happy to see Luck used more in the game. I enjoy the 'chance' factor that the concept brings.

My luck thus far however has resulted in nothing super awesome. The only time my ring has gone off was while picking pocketing a dwarf and the only thing I got was a steel bar so.... I have no idea what 'lucky' item I got supposedly, :P
