+The formula(s) are actually quite simple once the process (and the examples) of item generation become clearer. An explanation of the process, in its entirety, is as follows:
 * With every turn that is taken, a roll between 1 and 100 is made. Depending on the number that comes up, an item will either be generated or not.
 * If the number is below the base item generation chance, then an item WILL be granted; it is only possible to generate a 'Special' item if the roll is below the BASE chance alone, and not within the range of the 'BONUS' chance. If the roll happens to be above the BASE chance but within the range of the BONUS chance, only a lesser item will be granted.
