Special charm

[Bluto Longneck]

Can anyone tell me how this a good thing? Ok, so it's better than nothing, I get it.

But, it improves your luck with 0.025% and to me, that doesn't sound like...very...much.
To my old school maths, that sound like it would kick in 1/4000...erh?

Maybe with buffs? Or am I a total idiot here?

Daily luck is between +0.1 and -0.1. A +1 luck buff adds 0.1, a +3 luck buff adds 0.3 and so on. So, the special charm is like having a permanent +0.25 luck buff. It's definitely worth having

Thank you for the explanation, but the Wiki says 0.025, not 0.25?
I'm very easily confused. :)

Max luck is 0.1. With the lucky charm, your max becomes 0.125, which is 1/4 more.

If you eat something with a +1 buff, it becomes 0.2 before the lucky charm, or 0.225 after.

So since a +1 food adds 0.1, you could say that the lucky charm is +0.25, and adds 0.025.

It may not seem like much but it helps a lot. Luck effects about 15-20 things in the game and I notice the improvement as soon as I get the charm. In the mines, more geodes, gem nodes, and easier finding a way down- especially valuable in skull cavern. My rabbits start dropping more feet, I harvest more potatoes and berries, and find better stuff in the trash. And more chests while fishing, which can lead to that fabulous first dino egg! The special charm is great!

Yet I still haven't found that rascally chipped amphora!

FYI I'm finding them with regular frequency from Artifact Troves on that new island I avoided for so long. Hopefully you can get to the dig site and find lots of wiggly worms hoarding them there.

Because the luck is calculated on a -1 to 1 basis where 1 is actually 0.1 and on that scale.
you can go higher but that is a basic explanation.

I am really bad about bringing geodes and such to Clint to break open. I say "I'll take care of that when I'm done with these things" and by the time the things are taken care of, Clint's closed. Or I forget about the geodes until Clint's closed. Or I remember on a Friday when he's not in his shop... I always end up with a huge pile of things to open, which is why I leave a chest at his shop.
