1. Treasure Class Upgrade Bug affecting Snapchip Shatter and Frozenstein
They have worse drops than intended.
Both of these have “Act 5 (H) Super C” treasure class. But because “Act X Super Y” and “Act X Super Yx” treasure classes are in the same group (18), their treasure classes get “downgraded” to “Act 4 (H) Super Bx”. Excerption from the table:
| Treasure Class | Group | Level | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Act 5 (H) Super B | 18 | 93 | |
| Act 5 (H) Super C | 18 | 96 | This is the TC of our bosses |
| Note that next TC is in the same | |||
| group and level 0, which triggers | |||
| treasure class “Upgrade” | |||
| Act 1 Super Ax | 18 | 0 | |
| Act 1 Super Bx | 18 | 5 | |
| … | … | … | |
| Act 4 (H) Super Ax | 18 | 81 | |
| Act 4 (H) Super Bx | 18 | 84 | This is where we end up |
| Because the bosses are lvl 86 | |||
| Act 4 (H) Super Cx | 18 | 87 |
I have this bug in full detail explained and tested in my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo2Y2_qekfA
I’ve done testing on 1.13 but I’ve checked, the situation is exactly the same on 2.4.
The fix is very easy. 2 options:
a) Just change the “Act X Super Yx” treasure classes to be in another group (the next number 19 is free).
b) Sort the group 18 by level (so X and non-X treasure classes are “mixed” in the list)
2. Nightmare Griswold and Smith dropping Hell items.
This looks like just a copy\paste error
| Treasure Class | Picks | NoDrop | Item1 | Prob1 | Item2 | Prob2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Griswold or Smith | -3 | 0 | Act 1 Uitem C | 1 | Act 1 Melee B | 2 |
| Griswold or Smith (N) | -3 | 0 | Act 1 ->(H)<- Uitem C | 1 | Act 1 (N) Melee B | 2 |
| Griswold or Smith (H) | -3 | 0 | Act 1 (H) Uitem C | 1 | Act 1 (H) Melee B | 2 |

3. Duriel and his town portal scrolls
This is really a meme thing but i don’t see anyone crying over it’s removal
Duriel’s treasure class was probably set up by somebody who doesn’t understand how TreasureClassEx table works (or they were intoxicated at the moment…)
| Treasure Class | Picks | NoDrop | Item1 | Prob1 | Item2 | Prob2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duriel | 5 | 0 | tsc | 1 | Duriel - Base | 2 |
(empty columns omitted)
(same for NM, Hell and quest drops)
It’s clear that the intention was to drop 1 TP scroll… but the “Picks=5” (positive number) makes it drop 0-5 TP scrolls and 0-5 selections of the “actual” treasure class, with TP scrolls being half the probability of the items. So the desire to always drop 1 TP scroll is unfulfilled, and sometimes Duriel ends up dropping 5 of them (1 in 243 chance) and no items (they don’t even get a chance to fill the 6th drop slot because in root TC all TP scrolls were selected)
Solution is very easy: change “Picks” to -2 (negative numbers means no randomization, fixed drops in order) and “Prob2” to 1. This way, always 1 TP scroll is dropped, and up to 5 items from 7 picks of Duriel’s “Base” treasure class.
