Luck also has to do with, well, everything. I was fortunate enough to have a Legendary Egg drop early on, and fed it UTs I never used or that I was overfilling with (DBlade, Prots, etc).

Oh, and I still use the age-old, and unfortunately forgotten, art of in-game trading (You can thank P2W content for that). Do Ceme’s, labs, etc, and sell the items you loot for pots.
