Monsters Always Leave a Chest: 6D0B-840D

https://steamcommunity.com/app/637670/di...023910905/

At D03A50 is the chest table. There is one entry for each of the 84 enemy types. Each entry consists of five bytes. The first byte indicates the chance that a chest appears, in 64ths. The second byte has two nibbles. The lowest nibble is the necessary level of the Analyze spell that will disarm the trap. The highest nibble tells if you can escape the trap. The player's agility must be more than eight times that value, otherwise the trap will be triggered half the time. Bit 3 through 5 of the third byte indicates the rare item rate, in 64ths. If the top two bits equal 0, then the chest contains money. If they equal 1, then the chest contains an item. If they equal 2, the common item is money and the rare item is an item. If they equal 3, the common item is an item and the rare item is money. The fourth byte indicates the common item or money amount, and the fifth byte indicates the rare item or money amount.

Some enemies, like the fishes, do not drop treasures at all For all others applies a loot table:

- There is always a common and a rare treasure, consisting of two of the following: Item, GP, equipment, weapon orb (the orb becomes a candy if no more orbs of that type can be obtained)
- There are 0-3 traps within the table, notice that mimic box and shadow zero are considered as traps

If a treasure is on screen:

1. Checks if the enemy has a trap within its loot table, otherwise proceed to 4.
2. Checks for the Lv of the char who opens it. If it is at least 3 levels higher than the enemy's, no treasure will appear - the higher your Lv, the less it will be a trap
3. If there are different traps on the table, one is chosen randomly
4. If there are no traps or you are lucky enough, the item is rolled (probabilities always: common 88%, rare 12%)

It seems to be a real science getting the last two traps (Shadow Zero & Stone Trap).
