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.

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 pertinent RAM addresses are $0039, $003A, and $003B. $0038 also stores a modulus / exclusive upper bound that can be passed in via accumulator, which governs how many times to reroll for one single RNG call. The code is:
