Steal Mechanics Change

TLDR: your steal will be slightly more random than before

The long version:

After much more investigation, steal order is NOT randomized and still goes from top to bottom according to @mi. However, it may give the illusion of being random because it was skipping items that show up as 100%. As it turns out, steal checks drop rates using 1x item rate only. So some items that appear to be 100%, is not a 100% drop to steal, so the steal mechanics "fall through" to the next item in the list from top to bottom anyway. Thus why it went through our T&D team thinking that our changes went through successfully.

As we are focusing on the host change and other priorities, we do not have time to revisit Steal mechanics change again to fix this properly to have fully random steal. However, we will change the drop rate of all 100% items instead. Any monsters with custom drops, will have any items that are at a 100% drop rate (at x3 item rate) to be listed as 34% drop rate in the server database. This will still make these items to have a 100% drop rate when the monster is killed normally, so that will not affect most players. However, to players using Steal, this will affect your likelihood to steal items that are not listed as 100%. This is both a buff and a nerf, depending on the item that you are stealing. However in general, this will make the steals more randomized, and your chances to steal rarer items will increase.


Monster Changes

• Bapho Jr drops Evil Horns at 15%, down from 100% (back to official pre-re server rate instead of custom rate)
  
• Blue Lichtern now drops the proper elemental items for its element (water)
  
• Any monsters with customized drop has their 100% drop rate items changed to be "34%" in the database, such that after regular server x3 rate, these items are still at 100% drop rate.
