Does Lucky Charm influence treasure in chest only?
Or, perhaps, it has influence on loot from enemy?
More Lucky Charm - More rare items? Is there a link?

Yes, lucky charm should increase your chance to find rare items in chests and containers. Make sure to let your character with a high value in that open stuff. wink

You will know when it's affecting your loot because the game will tell you it's a "Lucky Find"

Yes, chests, containers, I understand, but what about enemy?

Since you can actually pickpocket enemies and enemies can use items in their inventory, some loot are set by its class. E.g. Potions, scrolls, arrows. If the enemy used up that item you won't receive it as a drop after it dies.

The other drops seem be affected by, for lack of a better word, the enemy's quality. Bosses drop greens and oranges while common enemies drop whites.

Tldr I don't think LC affects your enemy loot

Nope, just containers... and of course it slightly raises your offense value.

I don't think I've ever seen evidence that Lucky Find raises the quality of loot, only the quantity (i.e. one more random item given).

Quite right... though I assume "nothing" to "something" is also a quality improvement wink

I've gotten quite a few batches of 21 gold with it now at release, before it was always items... seems they nerfed it a bit?

Each level of lucky charm changes what extra loot a container might hold and what the chance of each loot type is. This never exceeds blue items but can provide stacks of over 500g extra per container.

If you google the topic you will find the exact formulae and item lists as dictacted by your loot table file.

Many people consider lvl 5 better than lvl 6, though only few people use this skill to it's maximum potential. See other posts.

Other than that, 3 offensive rating per level at the moment.
