Beginner's Luck
Beginner's Luck is a community name that refers to a sliding hit chance increase for low-level characters that was added as part of Issue 12. Under Beginner's Luck, characters at Combat Level 1 have a base 90% chance to hit equal-level PvE enemies. This chance steadily decreases as the character gains levels and eventually reaches a steady 75% from Combat Level 20 onward. Prior to I12, the base chance for players to hit equal-level enemies was 75% at all levels.
Since Beginner's Luck is based on Combat Level, it is affected by Sidekicking and Exemplaring.
| Character's Level |
Base Hit Chance vs. an Equal-Level Critter |
Character's Level |
Base Hit Chance vs. an Equal-Level Critter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 90% | 11 | 82% | |
| 2 | 89% | 12 | 81% | |
| 3 | 88% | 13 | 80% | |
| 4 | 87% | 14 | 79% | |
| 5 | 86% | 15 | 78% | |
| 6 | 86% | 16 | 78% | |
| 7 | 85% | 17 | 77% | |
| 8 | 84% | 18 | 76% | |
| 9 | 83% | 19 | 76% | |
| 10 | 82% | 20+ | 75% |
According to the Combat Attributes monitor, the Beginner's Luck bonus works in full 1% increments, with occasional jumps, instead of providing fractional bonuses.
