This page is about Photon Fortune, the daily changing stat that causes stars to appear near a character's name.
For the Type-based hidden stat 運 that literally means 'luck' and only affects the critical hit rate, please refer to CHR.

Photon Fortune (星霊運 or 'seireiun', literally 'star - spirit - luck'), popularly just referred to as Luck (originating from fan translations), is an uncontrollable attribute through which randomized events and processes in the game are modified. Every day at 12:00 AM (JST for the Japanese servers, PST for the and English and xbox 360 ones), each of the eight possible race/gender combinations is assigned a value from zero to three (0 to 3), where zero is the most unlucky and three is the luckiest; these assignments are the same each day for all servers. Luck appears next to the character name, as seen in the images to the right.

Photon Fortune only affects Weapon Grinding, and odds for Monsters and Boxes to drop Items (in parties only the Luck of the leader is used). Partner Machineries have the same Luck as female Cast characters, but this isn't of any use.

Photon Fortune Log

• Please Note:

The luck for the December 31st (New Year's Eve) on US Servers, did not follow the usual schedule/pattern of the JP Servers, instead the luck of December 19th was used.

On April 15th, 2007, on the US Servers, CAST males had 1 star luck, which is also not listed.

Between April 30th, 2007 and May 6th, 2007, the JP servers will be undergoing a one-week period of level 3 Photon Fortune for all races and genders. It is unlikely that this will be carried on into the EN servers during this week, and thus the forecasts shown are not likely to be accurate. For the time being the main page will probably be updated manually.
