Coral Torches reduce Torch luck by 0.2 only when placed outside water and when outside the Ocean biomes.No matter what penalties accumulate, Torch luck overall cannot go below 0 – it can either provide a bonus to luck, or nothing at all.Īnywhere outside the Snow biome, Desert, Jungle,Ĭorruption, Crimson, Hallow, Dungeon or Jungle Temple.Thus, multiple Torches of a given type will have no increased benefit, and one or more incorrect Torches will completely negate the benefits of Torch luck. The good luck, and luck penalty, are independently limited to a maximum of 0.2 for good luck and 0.3 for the luck penalties.Colored and Ultrabright Torches, along with other light sources such as Candles, have no effect.Bone Torches give a bonus in biomes without their own biome Torch (and also the Ocean). Ordinary Torches give a penalty anywhere that a biome Torch would be available, and especially the Snow biome.With some exceptions, biome Torches give good luck in their own biome, while giving a luck penalty in any other location.In the Underground and below, each type of Torch present in a 40×40-tile rectangle centered on the player (and also any Torch they are holding) will increase or reduce Torch luck, with the total value limited to a maximum of 0.2 and a minimum of 0.Torch luck does not apply in the Dungeon or Jungle Temple.This means that in these layers, only held Torches will affect luck. Placed Torches on the Surface and in Space are ignored.After half a minute (assuming no new Ladybug luck is received in the meantime), both values will have already changed to +0.39167 and −0.367, respectively.īy placing or holding Torches in the correct locations, players can increase their luck: Of course, both of these values are merely momentary. The Ladybug luck value depends on the remaining duration of 'good' or 'bad Ladybug luck', calculated with the following formula: Both 'good' and 'bad Ladybug luck' are caused by certain actions by the player, are temporary, and have a set duration, and once it elapses, the player has 'neutral Ladybug luck' again. The Ladybug luck value is added to the player's overall luck. The player can have 'good Ladybug luck', in which case the Ladybug luck value is positive, or 'bad Ladybug luck', in which case the Ladybug luck value is negative. Ladybug luck is reset to 0 as soon as the player leaves the world.īy default, the player has 'neutral Ladybug luck', which means that Ladybug luck contributes a value of 0 to the player's overall luck. It can be seen that, overall, positive Ladybug luck lasts four times as long as negative Ladybug luck. Killing the Guide causes +0.067 Ladybug luck (unless the player already has negative Ladybug luck) that decreases linearly to 0 over the course of 4 minutes.Killing any town NPC other than the Guide and the Clothier causes −0.067 Ladybug luck that increases linearly to 0 over the course of 1 minute.Killing a Ladybug at a close distance or consuming one as bait during fishing causes −0.2 / −0.4 Ladybug luck that increases linearly to 0 over the course of 3 / 6 minutes.Touching a Ladybug grants +0.2 / +0.4 Ladybug luck that decreases linearly to 0 over the course of 12 / 24 minutes.The following is a simplified summary see the Technical details section for a more detailed and accurate explanation. The player's interactions with Ladybugs, Gold Ladybugs, and town NPCs have a certain influence on their luck. The only factor with a negative effect on luck is from Ladybug luck, making it possible to reach a minimum luck value of −0.4. With all positive effects, it is possible to reach a maximum luck value of 1.4, although with no benefit beyond a value of 1. Luck is impacted by Ladybugs, certain types of Torches, the Lucky buff, Lantern Nights, Garden Gnomes, and throwing coins into Shimmer.
