  Luck Artifacts  

While coming across luck artifacts when digging,some doubts came into my mind.
There are the following luck artifacts:
Minor Suerte
Major Suerte
Minor Afortunado
Major Afortunado

I want to know currently how many turns can the following artifacts last before they expire.Which one is the most effective one?
One last qn...Does luck artifacts affect the rate of getting better planets while exploring?

Wish Stephen would release the math for the luck artifacts, but i doubt even he has the ability to look at his own code anymore :(

luck arties are most likely only good for finding other arti`s or making arti`s with :P

Luck artis of the same type don`t stack (afort on afort, suerte on suerte), and they both work equally well, just with different periods of time. Suertes last X number of turns while aforts last X number of minutes (don`t know the numbers exactly). Thats the gist of it.

same here, I figured that out long ago the one time I made a bunch of major gordos, used a luck artifact, and found out that MGs are useless unless you`re gordoing your homeworld, which isn`t worth it if you`re already gordoing something else.

I`ve noticed the same with the gordo`s spuds

With Stephens math and other factors like system used, using reg`s or digging, Time using luck Arties, how many turns used, what server speed (Yes digging does change with @ server speed), etc...
It is very random. My experience is luck arties are a waste on Uncommon, and common digs. I have had better luck with mixed and rare.

I do know that they do not, I mean Do Not work with gordos. 250 gordos will give you an average of 30 with or without luck arties.

Ive heard that the minor ones last approx. 3-5 secs major about 10 sec. Im not sure if thats right just rumors ive heard from the past about them :)

here`s an example of how luck artifacts work

2:53 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: 5xBig Time Capsule (Unique) was found !
2:53 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: 6xMajor Suerte (Rare) was found !
2:53 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: Artifact tried to give you another Regalo but failed...
2:53 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: 5xHistoria (Unique) was found !
major suerte>>>2:53 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: You feel lucky !
>> no luck2:52 PM 18/12/09 Artifact use: 1xMinor Requerido (Rare) was found !

Oh, and using these before using things like Regalos makes them more effective I believe, though again, don`t quote me. I wouldn`t be surprised if it aided exploring, but who knows for sure?

*waits for an answer to this with anticipation*

I want to know too :)
Though I think the arties are time based, not turn based, but don`t quote me on that. Major Afortunado is the most effective by far according to the site I got my arti information from

Minor Suerte
Gives Luck.+2 to luck
Major Suerte
Gives Luck. +5 to luck
Minor Afortunado
Gives Luck. +20 to luck
Major Afortunado
Gives Luck. +100 to luck
