Chest Finding (Mechanics)
From The Walkscape Walkthrough
Chest Finding is an attribute that changes the chance to find Chests on action completion.
Chest Finding Calculation
- Most activities have a roll on one or more chest tables.
- In general, an activity that has a skill with a level requirement has a chance to give a chest for that skill.
- Chest finding percentage bonuses from attributes is calculated.
- These bonuses are added to the base chest finding multiplier that you have.
- The base chest drop chance (.05% or 1/200) is multiplied by the calculated chest finding multiplier.
- The modified chest finding odds are rolled on a loot table.
Note that we can quickly get a value by simply adding the total percent chest finding to 1 and dividing by 200.
Example with No Chest Finding Bonuses
If we want to go Forest Foraging with no equipment, and we complete a foraging action.
- Forest foraging is able to give a foraging chest roll in its loot tables.
- We have no equipment, so we have no percent chest finding bonus.
- Chest finding bonus = 0.00
- We added our chest finding bonus to the base chest finding multiplier that you have.
- 1.00 chest finding multiplier + 0.00 chest finding bonus = 1.00 calculated chest finding multiplier
- We multiply the base chest drop chance by the calculated chest finding multiplier.
- 0.005 × 1.00 = 0.005 modified chest finding odds
- The modified chest finding odds are rolled on a loot table.
- Our 0.005 modified chest finding odds gives us a 1/200 chance per action completed to receive a Foraging Chest.
Example with a Chest Finding Bonus
If we want to go Forest Foraging with a great quality Steel Sickle, and we complete a foraging action.
- Forest foraging is able to give a foraging chest roll in its loot tables.
- Our great Steel Sickle gives a +12.0% chest finding
- Chest finding bonus = 0.12
- We added our chest finding bonus to the base chest finding multiplier that you have.
- 1.00 chest finding multiplier + 0.12 chest finding bonus = 1.12 calculated chest finding multiplier
- We multiply the base chest drop chance by the calculated chest finding multiplier.
- 0.005 × 1.12 = 0.0056 modified chest finding odds
- The modified chest finding odds are rolled on a loot table.
- Our 0.0056 modified chest finding odds gives us a 1.12/200 chance per action completed to receive a Foraging Chest.
Note that the Chest Finding (Mechanics), Find Gems (Mechanics), and Find Bird Nests (Mechanics) work identically (but independently) just each with their own separate loot table.
