Pot



Pots are common items generated at world creation in random areas. When broken with any weapon or tool, they will drop coins and/or random common items. Pots cannot be picked up, never respawn, and cannot be crafted.

Upon Breaking
Upon breaking a Pot, the game follows the process below to decide what happens:
 * 1) There is a small chance that a Coin Portal will spawn in place of the Pot's normal drops. A Coin Portal displays briefly as a floating circular effect, dispensing 5-15, one at a time, before disappearing. This chance ranges, depending on the location and type of pot, between 0.4% and 1.6% (1/250 and 1/62.5). If the Coin Portal spawns, the process ends.
 * 2) If it is in front of dungeon walls and below the surface level, there is a 1/40 (2.5%) to drop a . If it drops, the process ends.
 * 3) 1/45  chance to drop a bottle of potion. The possible types of potions vary with depth, and the chances of different potions are equal. If potion drops, the process ends.

 * 9) Generate a random number   from 1 to 8 (inclusive), then:
 * 10) If   is 1 and the player closest to the pot is not full of health: drops 1, and then 50% chance to drop 1 more. In Expert mode, there will be 2 additional 50% chance of dropping 1 . So in Expert mode, there is 1/8 chance to drop 1 , 3/8 chance to drop 2 , 3/8 chance to drop 3 , and 1/8 chance to drop 4.
 * 11) If   is 2 and the player closest to the pot is not full of mana:  drops 1.
