How to Improve Luck in Terraria Journey’s End?

There are five distinct ways to boost Luck in Terraria 1.4, and they are as follows:

  • Garden Gnomes
  • Ladybug Luck
  • Luck Potions
  • Lantern Nights
  • Torch Luck

Garden Gnomes

You can increase your Luck by 0.2 by simply positioning garden gnomes nearby. Gnomes turn up on the surface of Terraria, and they turn into Garden Gnomes that will affect your Luck when they are exposed to sunlight.

Ladybug Luck

On touching a Ladybug that you release in Terraria, your Luck will increase by 0.2 for twelve minutes, and double that time for Golden Ladybugs (twenty-four minutes). Killing a regular Ladybug will lead to bad Ladybug luck for three minutes. Once again, in the case of Golden Ladybugs, this will be double (six minutes).

Luck Potions

Greater Luck Potions will add 0.3 luck, which will gradually decrease over a span of ten minutes. At the five minute mark, the luck stat changes to 0.2, and at the three-minute mark, the Luck stat changes to 0.1. Consuming a Lesser Luck Potion, Luck Potion, and Greater Luck Potion will boost Luck for three, five, and 10 minutes respectively. It is not possible to stack potions, as of now.

Lantern Nights

Lantern Night is a special event in Terraria that takes place the night after you defeat a boss. You will notice beautiful lanterns floating around in the sky, and you will receive a 0.3 boost to Luck during this time. Lantern Nights cannot take place if there is a boss active, Blood Moon, Pumpkin Moon, Frost Moon, or Moon Lord summoning.

Torch Luck

This is the fifth and last way to increase your Luck in Terraria: Journey’s End: through Torches. Holding a torch also has significance, but you will have to make sure that you are using the correct ones in each biome. Here is a complete list of torches and their biomes:

  • Torch: Does not grant Luck
  • Bone Torch: All biomes except Corruption, Crimson, Desert, Hallow, Jungle, and Snow
  • Coral Torch: Ocean depths
  • Desert Torch: Desert, Underground Desert
  • Hallowed Torch: Hallow, Underground Hallow
  • Ice Torch: Snow, Underground Snow
  • Jungle Torch: Jungle, Underground Jungle
  • Corrupt Torch: Corruption, Underground Corruption
  • Cursed Torch: Corruption, Underground Corruption
  • Crimson Torch: Crimson, Underground Crimson
  • Ichor Torch: Crimson, Underground Crimson

Each torch will grant a maximum of 0.2 Luck, based on whether it is in your vicinity. Using torches in the wrong biomes will decrease your Luck as well, so make sure you do not make that mistake.

Significance in the gameplay

A player’s damage is directly influenced by Luck in many cases. Like it was mentioned earlier, anything with a programmed random occurrence or random number generation is strongly influenced by Luck. This includes the following entities:

  • Material drop rates
  • Fishing
  • Unique item drops
  • NPC inventory
  • Enemy spawns
  • Damage output calculations
  • Coin drop rates
  • Calculating Luck

A player that has maximized their Luck has double the chance of coming across certain items, non-playable characters, and opponents, and a player that has minimized their Luck has around half the chance of coming across those very same things.

The most convenient way to determine your level of Luck is by talking to the Wizard. He will give out different dialogues depending on how Lucky you are at that moment. All of them have been listed below for your convenience.

0.75 Luck or higher

“You are overflowing with a blessing of stupendous prosperity!!”

“Excessive health and happiness gush from your very being! You are a Godsend!!”

0.5 Luck or higher

“Have you a garden of four-leaf clovers? You are bursting with essences of great fortune!”

“Serendipity smiles upon you! It is likely you shall find profit in all things!”

0.25 Luck or higher

“You are giving off positive energy, like something grand could occur at any moment.”

“There are vibes of good fortune emanating from you, as though your wishes could come true.”

0 Luck or higher

“I sense a speck of good karma about you, but I could be mistaken.”

“There’s something unusually warm about you. I’m not sure how to place it, but keep walking in that direction.”

Less than 0 Luck

“The air feels dull and gloomy where you step. Be wary of ill feelings.”

“Is something bothering you? Something doesn’t feel quite right about you.”

Less than -0.2 Luck

“Negative energy is seeping from your pores. I wouldn’t take any chances today.”

“Unfortunate omens hang over your head. You DID forward that letter, right?”

Less than -0.4 Luck

“I feel a terrible fate surrounding you! You should stay in bed today!”

“What manner of salt did you spill to receive such misfortune!?”
