Token Drop Rate on Adventure Level

The chance of receiving a token drop depends on the Luck Level and the 'Luck' parameter of their items (specifically the items that had their charges consumed when entering the adventure).

The Luck Level parameter found on Collectible Equipment is directly related to the progression of tiers and levels in the game. If a player enters an adventure using items with a higher Luck Level than that of the adventure’s tier & level, their token drop rate will be decreased to match that of the adventure’s tier & level. Otherwise, they will achieve the maximum token drop rate according to their item’s ‘Luck’ value. So to get the most out of an L2 T1 adventure, you will need an item with a Luck Level of 5. Here are a few more examples:

• Example 1: If a player goes to an island that is L2 T1 with an item that has a Luck Level of 5, their items will contribute their ‘Luck’ value at full efficiency. Therefore, their token drop chance will reflect their item's ‘Luck’ value.

  
• Example 2: If a player goes to an island that is L1 T2 with an item that has a Luck Level of 5, their items will contribute their ‘Luck’ value at a level corresponding to the adventure’s tier & level- so in this case, 2. efficiency. Therefore, their token drop chance will be scaled down to that of an item with Luck Level 2.

Example 3: If a player goes to an island that is L1 T2 with an item that has a Luck Level of 1, their items will contribute their ‘Luck’ value at full efficiency. Therefore, their token drop chance will reflect their item's ‘Luck’ value. However, they will be in a position where they could be earning more token drops if they would increase their item’s Luck Level to 5.
