Unrefined fools, Blueblood sword is for the elegant warriors.

Blueblood sword is a very good Sword, especially since the stamina drain for it isn't very large, it allows for some pretty countering and comboing. That being said, you need a fairly hefty amount of Luck to pull of some good damage on the Blueblood, especially against high-tiered PvP combatants or NG+ enemies, at least 45.

That's why I prefer Northern Regalia, Dragon Bone Smasher or Dual Uchigatana Wielding (The way of the samurai), it's more effective on the long run :) 

luck is a good trait to have, imagine everything you kill dropping an item...it can happen.

The problem is that luck doesn't increase the drop %, it only increases the amount of items that are dropped whenever you get a drop. 

Take as an example, the Dreglings in 1-1. Normally they drop Crescent Moon Herbs. At luck <10, you'll usually get 1 CMH, 2 very rarely. At Luck > 30, you're bound to almost always get 2 or 3 CMH per drops.

The only way to increase the drop % is by using the Large Sword of Searching, which effectively doubles the drop % RNG for each enemy (doesn't work with enemies that already have a 100% drop RNG, like the Dual Wielding Katana Skeletons).
