Does Wealth Duplex work on Ugly Monster?

Question

During the double loot event I used a Wealth Duplex potion to enhance my chances to loot a cobra item... on Cobra Vizier's loot I got the message of it being active, having the 2 benefits (increased loot, active wealth duplex) but when I killed Ugly Monsters the only message in the loot was (increased loot) so it makes me wonder... Does Wealth Duplex work on Ugly Monster?

Comments

I think you or someone should try to kill Lava Lurker and see if there is message when u loot nothing from monster.

I think is not related to that, since i've killed so many ravenous lava lurker (are the ones that dont drop loot) with a prey loot and i always saw the increased loot next to it

I think its not affected but is just a guess

Answer 1

Wealth duplex will not work on monsters with reward system in the bracket with bags. Since ugly monster doesn't have a reward system it will be working.

However, the message on the screen will not show increased loot by wealth duplex as a example: Ravenous Lava Lurker.

1. 

How does Wealth Duplex work with other mechanics that affect loot? E.g. prey, tribute, double loot event.

With a wealth duplex and a loot prey active, could I theoretically loot 4 of the same item?

Same question for Goshnar's tribute. When the tribute is triggered, will the additional loot reroll also use the wealth duplex potion (resulting in a 4x loot)?

The potion simply adds a 100% chance to receive another loot set. Burchan once explained this mechanic in the context of double loot events.¹

2. Hello everyone,

thank you for your comments so far I will try to clarify the double loot weekend again. 

A monster can drop different sets of loot. For example, if you kill an orc, it drops 2 gold coins (loot-set 1). The next orc you kill drops 4 gold coins and meat (loot-set 2) and the third orc you kill drops nothing (loot-set 3).
During the double loot weekend you have a 100% chance that one orc does not only drop one set but two sets of loot.

The double loot applies to all monsters including bosses (like Diblis the Fair, for example) except those that have a cooperative loot system (Forgotten Knowledge bosses etc.). ²

Answer 2

As the Wealth Duplex only works on monsters without the cooperative loot system (Loot in Reward bag), Ugly Monster does apply to have the loot increase while drinking a Wealth Duplex potion.

Now, the fact that you did not get the "(active wealth duplex)" message may be confusing. This is only because such message only appears when the potion actually triggered another loot set. Since you got "nothing" as loot, the potion did not led to an additional set of loot.

With this in mind, Wealth Duplex does work on Ugly Monster.

Wanted to be 100% sure before answering so you are certain for your upcomming endeavours, so I asked Cipsoft and this I got a official reply from Skerio:

 

Wealth Duplex works on ugly monsters, though the (active wealth duplex) message only appears if the effect of the potion actually led to the loot. So you can still get loot from an ugly monster without the message appearing while having Wealth Duplex active, if that loot wasn't dropped due to the effect of the potion. This is also the case for lava lurkers and wasps.
