Correct... the way "Luck" on suits was written up is that luck works towards improved loot (won't go too deep down that rabbit hole); not actual intensity of the loot (ie the higher the luck the more properties/intensity).
Your total luck in the game translates to a percentage that some (or all) of your loot will be effected; so at 3982 (based on the formula) that gives you a 100% chance that your loot will be "improved" / effected... going to 4200 luck doesn't mean you will get higher effects or "better" loot.
The best I can do for luck before the statue is 2500. That's after taking my shadow leggings off and using auspicious leggings, taking a hit to stealth and stealing. :-(
I'm hoping 2500 is enough that I'll at some point see a crystal spawn in a chest. Nothing so far. I can get to 3700 hitting the statue but that hour doesn't mean much to a stealthy rogue.
All in all, my count on chests found is always going to be way lower than hybrid characters running DH from their mounts. If there are 3 or 4 chest hunters on at the same time, sometimes with a single person running multiple accounts, each account stashed in a different quadrant of the town, you can rest assured I'll not compete well, and my hour of improved luck won't mean much.
Some of these folks are like Pinkerton, they never sleep! Doesn't matter what time of day or night I find the time to pop in for a bit. They're on it! All that non-stop play gives them great muscle memory for hitting the sweet spots. There's no way I can devote time like that.
If 2500 doesn't do it I wish someone could just tell me now and I'll throw in the towel.

i have the max luck items for every slot and I am stuck at 3055. Where did you get the other 1000? Is that the fel bonus?
correct, unless the basic formula has changed recently but i doubt it. https://www.uoguide.com/Luck

Unless I am at 5k luck when naked, I am not playing
