Fortune Teller question... Does it affect your luck or just tell you what it is that day?

[Phantom]

So if you don't check it is your luck fixed at 0

Or does your luck change and she simply lets you know what it is

I think it's just a way to tell you what it is for that day.

Kind of what I figure, but I can't find anything to confirm or deny that

-shrug- I think it is the case, just based on my own experience. Like waiting for a lucky day to break geodes, I tend to get better stuff out of them than the unlucky days.

Luck affect many different things:
Foraging items - quantity and quality
Geods will gives you rare minerals, instead of coal or crappy stones.
Not sure about mining, may be higher chance to find a ladder or something. It actually affects everything, but it's hard to say certainly.

I cannot confirm, but can offer anecdotal experience that the fortune teller doesn't affect your luck, but forcast it. There has been several times I've had bad poor fishing/mining, and decided to hop by the house to see what the fortune teller said - which on several occassions I was told the spirits were displeased/unhappy.

I also did the same when I was getting a multitude of rare fish/gems, went home, and the fortune teller said the spirits were in good humors/very happy.

In my experience in the mines some days are definitely better than others, even when I don't check the fortune teller. So I think the show is just informative. I don't think watching determines a luck value for the day.

Watching it should not give/take any luck. It's purely informative of your luck for that day.

I generally call bs on the fortuneteller anyways, just like irl.
