I've been chest running in Fronis' lair, and I'm supposed to be getting about 50/50 break/retain ratio, but my lucky title is lagging pretty badly. Im r3 Unlucky but only at the start of r2 lucky. Waitin for a boardwalk weekend to even that out

about 12000 chests opened
lucky: ~2.7mil
unluck: 450000

depending on ur retain rate it will favor one side or the other, it helps to just stand in the rings to level things out a bit.
Black Metal
lucky, unlucky, wisdom, treasure hunter, and 30 (almost 31) other titles maxed
the ironic thing about having max retain is that there's not much reason to open chests any more

Treasure Hunter: R7 - 13,400 chest opened. Lucky: R6 - 3,563,000. Unlucky: R7 - 503,100.
Your progress in Lucky/Unlucky really depends on which chests you're using...

r2 unlucky not even halfway to r1 lucky.
But I'm not trying for either and I don't really chest run. Thats just what I have after they added the title to the game. Don't do boardwalk.

my unlucky is ahead of my lucky....3/2.....and I STILL break more lockpicks than I keep even with a better than 50% chance....guess I really am just unlucky

The retain/break system favors Unlucky in general gameplay. That's why there's an extra rank of Unlucky

thats alot of chest opening. do folks just run chests over and over?
i mean even if a run yeilding a chest took a few minutes your still looking at 20+ days of solid action without stopping

I ran chests outside Boreal Station last year when I was going for max TH. Ofcourse, I was running in normal mode because at that time I didn't have any plans of maxing Unlucky. But after the.. uhmmm, december (?) update, Unlucky didn't seem so far away. As most people, I too am waiting for a double lucky/unlucky weekend. Maxing unlucky shall be very easy then.

Rank 3 Unlucky, Rank 1 Lucky, makes me feel like a pessimist

I did most of mine before the update that made it easier to get unlucky points so here's my data:
about 12,000 high end chests opened.
Max lucky
Just shy of jinxed (so halfway to max unlucky)

I have a simple philosophy, always have lock picks on whichever character you're using, and always open every chest you see in regular play... low end, high end, hard mode or normal. Getting these extra points while playing helps a lot.
When you need to get points on a specific title, Lucky or Unlucky, find a chest run that best supports your point gain versus the cost of lock picks.
As others have mentioned, the Boreal run (in either HM or NM) is a nice one, as is running Fronis Irontoe's lair... both are quick and yield a goodly number of chests over time.
