I`ve been looking around a bit and couldn`t find much information on how they work.
For instance, how many turns does the effect last for?
Does it effect exploration?
How significant is the effect?
If anyone could shed some light on it for me, i`d be endebted :)
Thanks in advance. |

99+ day(s) ago | It was old news.. one for turns.. one for time.. then again thanks for the refreshment apollo.. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | I did NOT know that Afortunados were governed by time while suartes were governed by turns. If I knew that, I would have used afortunados exclusively a long time ago and gotten far better results in my digging. |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | I`m using about 5 turns on average. I`ll do my first tests on that, then I`ll tackle the turns per dig debate... |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | the results i get are from using 9 turns per click during rare uncommon and mixed dig |
Epsilon
99+ day(s) ago | Aha :D That is really helpful!
Many thanks Apollo! |

99+ day(s) ago | Maj Affortunado`s are worth the invest, imho :) |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | Alright then, here`s what I`m going to try. I`ll collect a weeks worth of data on digging without any additional assistance/modifiers (other than paid), then I`ll fuse 14 majors and go another 7 days of digging (I use about 5 turns per dig). I`ll crunch the numbers and let you know what I find. |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | its likely to pay for itself if it does last for 30min and you use it during rare or uncommon, but like i said, im not 100% on if uc and gc luck works the same |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | Ahh, I see. I think I`ll try that then. Have you tried fusing afortunados and running the numbers? It`s 2 gents for the major, I wonder if it`s worth it... |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | but only during rare dig |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | i use seurtes and stc when the appear |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | With no luck artis? I average less, maybe 13 consistently (combo of gentes and bases), with some spikes into the low 20`s (maybe 3 times). |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | i dont make afortunados
but i makes 18-27 gordos a when i hit mixed, rare, and uncommon dig times, thats a combination of gentes and bases i dig |
IuztheEvil
99+ day(s) ago | So, just for comparison sake, how many bases do you normally get during uncommon dig time using Afortunados? |
Apollo
99+ day(s) ago | This was pulled from a UC fan site, and Im not 100% sure that Luck works the same way on GC as it does UC. However, Ive be using these guidelines recently and been doing quit well during Rare and Uncommon times.
Things you need to know about luck:
You CANNOT use luck artifacts on other empires. You know how it says "The artifact makes a deep humming sound and disappears with a dark brownish glow."? It *sounds* cool, but after checking the recipient`s events, nothing shows up, and if it doesn`t show up in events, it didn`t happen. Period.
-Suertes do not stack on Suertes, and Afortunados do not stack on Afortunados. This means that if you use lots and lots of minor and major suertes on you, it`ll only take the effect of the last one that you just used.
-Suertes CAN stack on Afortunados, and vice versa. This means that If you use a Suerte on you and an Afortunado, you will get double the luck as opposed to just using one or the other.
-An Afortunado and a Suerte will yield the same results if they are used separately. Basically, a person that uses an Afortunado will get the same results as someone who uses a Suerte, as long as the time does not expire.
- Afortunados are governed by time, Suertes are governed by Turns. Afortunados last a certain amount of time (Minor ~10 minutes, Major ~30 minutes), whereas Suertes last a certain amount of turns (Minor ~20 turns, Major ~ 100 turns). The exact amounts are not certain, but this means that it may be impractical to use suertes when you are digging, but a good choice when you are using Regalos. |
