Legacy of the Wizard

Enemy Drops

Drop index	Item
$00	Bread
$01	Potion
$02	Money
$03	Poison
$04	Key
$05	Ring
$06	Cross
$07	Scroll

First, before any RNG is rolled whatsoever, three checks are done, in priority order (at $07EF85~$07EF9B):

• If health is less than 20 ($14 hex), guaranteed bread drop ($00 drop index).
• If magic is less than 30 ($1E hex), guaranteed magic potion drop ($01 drop index).
• If key count is less than 2, guaranteed key drop ($04 drop index).

If none of these conditions are met, we then roll a random number from 0 to 19 ($14 hex modulus / exclusive upper bound). Fully detailed results for each value:

RNG roll value	Result
$00	Poison
$01	Poison
$02	Poison
$03	Poison
$04	Key
$05	Key
$06	Ring
$07	Cross
$08	Scroll
$09~$13	Bread / Potion / Money based on checks (see below)

There's a 45% chance that it simply fetches from the drop table at $07EFE7~$07EFEF, meaning 20% chance for poison, 10% key, 5% ring, 5% cross, 5% scroll. The other 55% will do the following checks, in priority order (at $07EFAC~$07EFC3):

• If life < magic, drop bread
• If magic < gold, drop potion
• Otherwise, drop money

RNG

Random number generation follows a simple PRNG formula that's based on nothing but its own previous values, and only ever changes when a new random number is rolled. This means it can be "seeded" and predictably determined based on # of times rolled. The code is:

 07:CC64:  STA $0038
 07:CC66:  BEQ $CC8E
 07:CC68:  LDX $003B
