    No. Entirely untrue. it's all equally random...

    Now, a way to increase chances of getting whatever RNG drop would be nice...
    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    RNG ebbs and flows in how nice it's going to be to your character. No one character has an edge on another one.

    How do I know this? I have 8 characters and none of them are luckier than another one.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Computers are machines, random does not exist. There is always a logical pattern driving the "randomness".

    I tend to siphon other people's luck when I help them farm. :(
    I helped a friend farm the Engine Guardian helm and after 3 hours he walked away with well-fitted medium while I got divines light, infused heavy, reinforced medium, infused medium and divines heavy.

    No, still friends, but he farmed it for another 5 hours while I was asleep, eventually getting a better helm.

    I have better luck with some things than I have with others:

    + Gold tempers: 4-5 per material stack on avg
    + Drops: 2 Arcane Willpower Rings + Xivkyn Chest motif page from 1 Chest, Ancient Orc pages, Divines Kena Shoulder
    + Kuta

    - Monster Helmets
    - Writ Rewards: no Ambrosia pages

    Luck and Zenimax don't mix - Rng and Zenimax fits perfectly though

    There is an archaic stat from the release of vanilla ESO that was scrapped sometime before ESO:TU launched called Finesse. Finesse was a "luck" stat that was a living stat, it grew and shrunk based on combat performance. After your Finesse rating grew to a certain point you would effectively "cash out" and receive better than average loot (purples, set pieces of lesser dropped slots like jewelry, etc).

    There is also a luck mechanic to this game that is random, and Imperials have a bonus to it, which makes them more likely to find epic or above quality loot. Things like motifs, % chance items (roe, tempers, etc) are included, but NOT gear pieces as far as I am aware.

    Also there is concern that older characters that were around during Finesse days are permanently stuck with whatever rating they were at the day of the patch where it was removed, meaning if you were at a low Finesse rating the day of the patch you were forever doomed to have below average chances to get gear. This is how it feels for many of the older players such as myself and guildmates who all have had our mains around since early access and notice staggering differences in drops between those toons and fresh ones.

    Yes, I made the same experience with my 8 - none of them is especially lucky or unlucky.

    Don't let them lie to you, certain drinks increase luck. Just ask any Nord.

    Of course it's true. If you're not getting any good helmets at V16, then it's time to re-roll.

    I think luck does exist. I opened 2 monster teeth vaults and got rings of robust agility in each one.

    Remember to delete the old character too or it won't work.
