What is 'superstition', and what does it affect?
Among the list of character stats in Trove is one called superstition. I've only ever found one item a weapon that augmented it in any way, and the tooltip is very mysterious.

What does superstition actually affect in Trove?
Best Answer
It does exactly what it says: it just makes you superstitious about it. So far, it has no actual effect. It might have an effect later on in development, though, so it might change.
A close look at the possible values result in 7 (the most common lucky number,) 9 (a less common lucky number,) and 13 (the unluckiest number of all; given by, you guessed it, Sameowntha, the black cat.)
Even on the PTS server, where it's in official release, Superstition don't do anything good nor bad.
Things it doesn't do:
- Influence rare item drop from box. That's referred to as Karma.
- Cause Cloud Dungeons or Shadow Portals to spawn. Those would be made by procedural world generation.
- Magic defense. There isn't even a physical defense!

Answer 3
The superstition stat is like jesus. Plenty of people have things to say he isnt real and people say he is but ultimately no one can provide evidence for either side. That being said, isn't this stat obviously just a joke made by the developers and furthered by trolls making stories about it that they in fact have no proof of? I noticed a lack of evidence consistently gets pointed out so what i'll do is debunk one of the only myths about this stat. https://www.reddit.com/r/Trove/comments/2h5zsu/does_anyone_know_what_superstition_does/
in this article someone says the stat helps you find more cloud islands above the sea of regret and drop rate. He doesn't have any evidence of this, he isn't credible on reddit, and it literally doesn't make sense that a stat would change how the Trove's engine renders chunks. I would also like to debunk that it's a magic resistant stat. For one, there isnt an armor stat and for two, nothing deals magic damage.

Well it does nothing, really. Maybe it wouldn't produce the placebo effect even If I didn't tell you, but the game is more fun if you believe it makes you better. When I first found out about this, it felt like a kick in the balls; like Santa Claus, you knew it doesn't exist but it was still fun to believe when you were a kid.
