[quote]According to the unofficial test completed on July 4, 2011 by Multani, luck plays no significant role in the frequency or the quality of niter deposit discovered while mining in dungeons. The test was done -albeit briefly- mining for 2 hours with 0 luck, and 2 hours with 800 luck with a miner character wearing +5 Mining blacksmithing bod reward gloves.[/quote]
This is not accurate and probably should not be included. In my experience luck plays a major role first in size of the deposit and secondly in the success of discovery. UO Developer Phoenix_Mythic has mentioned this on numerous occasion...I will try to grab some of the posts. The stratics craftsmen forums dares to differ too. 800 luck is a little too low for comparison as many miners top out well over 2000 while they mine(with the 7th anni statue bonus) Running at 2100+ luck for an hour I routinely end up with 2000 saltpeter. Just dropping to 1400+ luck after that significantly reduces the amount I end up with but I need to document.
