Maybe it was just a glitch, but who knows, as far as I am concerned if the ONLY purpose of these is SJ/Aht WG I wouldn't have gotten one in Sarutabaruta[S]

didn't SE say that this and all the other good luck items like millionaires desk and stuff don't effect TH?

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to raise my Bastok fame between Exp PTs, and figured I'd kill me some sand bats during the Stone Monument visits to Selbina. One night, my pride got the best of me and I spent over an hour camping the too weak sand bats with no drop. Forgetting about the silly quest, and no longer needing the Bastok fame, I left the dunes a sad and broken Elvaan.

Fast-forward a couple of weeks, and I come across this item while farming in Buburimu. I was about to toss it, but remembered the rumours surrounding it... and what can I say? I'm a sucker for superstition. Anyway, after I was done farming I hopped on the ferry to Selbina to drop off my last stone tablet for the Crawler's Nest map quest. On my way out of the dunes, I killed the pair of Sand Bats in the L-9/M-9 tunnel and pow! Two sand bat fangs! I sent them off to a newbie LS mate flagged in Bastok and will never toss this item no matter how full my gobbie bag may be.

Friend got this on the second kill.
He farmed in giddeus necklaces for fame and he got 24 Yagudo Necklaces in 30mins.
Not ONE Feather dropped.

So it really has a affect on dropquality ( not rate imo ).
Dont know if it works on a NM like Torrent > always Monster Signa would be fine :D

JUST GOT IT!!!

Took 8 kills with /thf. Woot!! I was expecting that 64 kills like the previous poster said :)

Yesterday I decided to pick one of these up as I already have the 4-leaf Mangradora Bud and was interested to see if my drop rate would improve with 2 "Lucky" items as oppossed to just the one. The Wild Rabbit Tail dropped after approx. 64 kills, and this while having the 4-leaf Mangradora Bud in my inventory. Not so lucky - so far. However, having had the 4-leaf Mangradora Bud in my inventory for about a year, I do believe that overall, my drop rates have been better than without it. Haven't tried eating the 4-leaf Mangradora Bud yet but may. I am also going to test having 2 of the 3 "Lucky" items in my inventory and see if drop rates improve as well. I'll post results at a later date.

I was wondering what the 3 "lucky" items are. I know that 1 is the 4 leaf mandy bud and the second is this rabbit tail but ive never seen or heard of the last one. can u post it or something i would really like to know the name so i can try to get it. thanks =^.^=

Now I have TH2, I farm as THF45/NIN22.
Maybe I'm superstitious, or maybe this really is lucky. I'll let you decide based on my experience.

Got this on first kill, decided to keep it with me, couldnt hurt.

Here are some things I've gotten.

- 1/1 on Bounding Boots. First time camping him, first pop I've ever seen, dropped for my first kill.
- Doing genkai 1. I'm about to go in to join my friend (SMN75). I zone in, and he starts. First Lich drops papy.
- I go with my friend (same one, SMN75) on several coffer key huntings. Once I went with him to Oztroja. We didnt get the key mind you, but we managed 2 Ninja tests and 3-4 Bard tests.
- Farming Ni scrolls in Oztroja with my friend, got 4 within 15 mins.
- We goto Temple of Uggalepih to try for twincoons. Didnt pop the NM, but right before we had to go, killed a Wespe and dropped Hornetneedle spawn item.
- Recently went to finish RSE in Gusgen. 2nd kill we get key, and just as added luck (not drop luck) I found the chest literally 1 min later (not even knowing spawn points mind you xD).

My whole LS refers to me as the Hacker. ^^ I even get people asking me to help them because I'm "the hacker" xD

Leveling COR and going after the three famous lucky items. Went as PLD/THF and got this on second kill.

Off to the Jungle...

My LS had just been discussing the "Lucky Items" in the game, and I was running along Buburimu and killed a Might Rarab for the hell of it......Got it. Couldn't believe my luck. I'm still not sure if it adds TH, but my Critical Hit rates have seem to go up quite a bit, too bad my ACC still sucks.

I know ppl put it in their mh, but does it still work if its in ur storage?

I'm a 60 Ninja and I sub THF at 15 to farm. I have been farming for the last two months. I use the ability "Steal" every 5 minutes. In my entire two months, never once, have I successfully stolen a damn thing. I killed a Mighty Rarab and get the tail. The next Mighty Rarab, "Steal" comes back open, I use it, AND I ACTUALLY STEAL SOMETHING. I'm sure it's complete coincidence, but it's funny, too!

Thane

this item does not increase drop rates or anything else in the game. It's only a description. items that increase drop rate usually say "Treasure Hunter effect +1" which works as a TH boost or regular TH for jobs other than thf
items can't effect game play unless it's worn or set in mog house as a mog enhancement, carrying this item on you will just clog up a space :P

I'm level 25 monk farming in Buburimu. I picked on of these tails while trying to complete a stack of rabbit pelts. I thought I'd give it a try and carry it. Without statitics it's uncertain, but the initial impression I'm getting is that drops have improved. Perhaps for a thief this benefit is insignificant, but for a melee that relies on random drops, any computational edge helps.

the tail will give you luck... I have had one on me and I am getting 2 or 3 drops sometimes..... its varies, but it WILL give you luck... just not TH luck

Got my rabbit tail on the second one I killed. (got lucky with the other items too.. on first or second try for each)

I killed (solo) less than 20 mighty rarabs before getting one of these for the sub-job quest in Mhaura. At lvl 18 the bunnies conned from easy to even to me. I had to use my 2 hour to kill the one even match I encountered. I avoided them from then on, concentrating on easy and descent. I dunno if this helps give any indication as to how often these tails drop. Just my 2 gil.
