Potential equipping itself - everything went better than expected

well, it would depend, you would have to have had some seriously scrolled gear or something, i made this thread for basil to understand how the "glitching empress gears" worked, so i'm quite curious about your case.

I literally have no LUK % at all, and the only LUK I get is from Empress pieces and other stuff that gives + to all. I have 30 base LUK as well because back when I was in my normal gear, I didn't have enough + LUK from gear to be able to equip my normal stuff. I could count how much LUK I have from Non-Empress gear but I doubt it's much, probably not over 30 or 40.. It will have to wait until I get home from work.

I'm really really baffled by this myself, and it ended up costing me an extra 20m just to replace the LUK potion to re-equip my helm. Although it's technically my fault, I should have known better, it's still really confusing how 233 LUK went down to 143 with a +15 Zak helm. I don't intend to do it again for screenshots because it's an utter waste of money though and I'm trying to save for a Dragon Tail Fan. Sorry in that regard.
