Yup, breaking chance, especially if you use the wrong one :)

Yes, that's indeed an issue...

Though maybe we could make probabilities based on the item.

If it's a "standard" item, low drop probability (so you don't get too much 
junk), but it's an artefact, or a special item, then 100% probability, or a 
much higher one.

Implementation details :)

It really depends, not sure.

Probably a random factor, maybe adjusted on level.

Yes :)


Which is why I'm thinking of doing something different ;)
