Is the Oil of Luck bugged?

According to the wiki:

► Show Spoiler

Lucky Bonus

This recipe grants one chance to add a minor extra bonus to an item. Any item that has been transmuted with this recipe will show up as "Already upgraded!". Items marked as such cannot be used for this recipe.

Any item + Oil of Luck → returns item, may add bonuses
This recipe has 20% chance to add any of the following bonuses:

Weapon: +20% Enhanced Damage and/or 100% Bonus to Attack Rating

I'm trying to apply the Oil of Luck to:



After literally 50 attempts, I cannot raise the ED past 35%. This is the result every time:

Given the 20% chance to apply the bonus per attempt, that's statistically impossible. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Bad luck m8

Not possible. That's like rolling a 5-sided dice 50 times and never getting a 5. The math is astronomical.

[HohoHaha]

Not possible, that's like rolling a 6-sided dice 50 times and never getting a 6, except worse. The math is astronomical.

Wrong. The "luck-ability" of an item is determined when it is dropped/rolled, not when the luck cube recipe is applied. So you can luck it infinite times and it will still come out failed. You need to reroll the item/find another one to have a chance at it being successful.

That explains it, thanks.

Hey there guys. I just got back into diablo, finally got all the mods and versions to run with plugy and everything else. I'm stoked! But I also am leaving for Alaska in a few days for a job, be gone all summer and have no access to internet. I was wondering if there was a suppository of information of sorts, builds and guides and information on all things median, that I could have access to OFFLINE. Any help would be appreciated!
