Description: Smithing Texts are rare items that drop from specific enemies and bosses. All Smithing Texts will drop as an Exotic Item regardless of the difficulty. Once a Smithing Text is obtained the player can go to the Blacksmith ⟶ Forge to hand over the Smithing Text and unlock that specific piece of gear or item to forge.
How Luck affects Smithing Texts: Luck does NOT affect the drop rate of Smithing Texts and Hidden Skills. Luck only affects the rarity of items that drop, NOT the chance of an item dropping. Buffs like Luck Bringer Talisman, and Soul Purge Talisman do not affect the Smithing Text and Hidden Skills drop rate. Tempering Luck+ attributes on armor, accessories, and Soul Cores also does not affect the Smithing Texts and Hidden Skills drop rate.
How Item Drop Rate affects Smithing Texts: Item Drop Rate buffs DOES affect the Smithing Text and Hidden Skills drop rate. There is no active buff that we can use to manually increase our IDR at will, but we can temper on the attribute "Item Drop Rate" onto the Weapon & Armor pieces, Accessories, and Soul Cores.
The Drop rate of Hidden Skills and Smithing Texts is the same regardless of difficulty.
