Randomization Schemes

Unseeded

• Level one (L1): chests give you randomized items with chance of duplicates. Seeding not supported.
• L1 plus (L1+): same as L1 but with duplicates removed.
• Shuffle minus (SF-): a fixed set of vanilla items is shuffled without seeding support.

Seeded

• Level two (L2): same as L1 but with seeding now supported. Same rolls regardless of order of opening chests.
• L2 prime (L2′): same as L2 but game is ineligible for later-listed schemes, due to game mechanics.
• Level three (L3): same as L2 but the order of opening chests now matters.
• Shuffle (SF): a fixed set of vanilla items is shuffled. No duplicates, so not nearly as chaotic as the others. Can be seen as level four (L4) based on complexity.
