Re: The Quest for Zod
So far, all of the chests I've investigated in act 5 that sparkle appear to actually be Special Chests.
Now for some technical info I dug up last night.
I wanted to cover my bases before I went nuts on the Act 5 Special Chests so I dug up some facts from Jarulf about the special chests. All Act 1 - Act 4 Special chests are object type 580 or 579? (mostly 580). While most objects have descriptions in the objects.txt file, objects 573+ (including 580) are hardcoded somewhere.
No other objects appear to have this limited seed so it appears that its this hardcoded function that has the 16 bit seed for drops. I finally found an old post by Jarulf where he confirmed that all chests have a 16 seed BUT he later states that the drops appear to be governed by the game seed. This doesn't appear to be the case for the hardcoded object 580 drops and so we get the 2^16 (65536) limited drops.
So last night, I dug up a d2 map editor and a mpq extractor and started examining some maps. First I checked LK to make sure I was looking at the right thing, found the campfire area and sure enough there were the type 580 objects.
Then i dug up some of the outdoor act 5 map areas and found one of the chests there that sparkle. It turns out its type 455. A quick check in the objects.txt file and sure enough, type 455 is a special chests. So that's confirmed, at least some of the sparkling chests in act 5 are actually special chests.
Here's the catch, type 455 is well defined in the objects.txt file and uses standard initialization and operation functions. All evidence points to these functions drawing from a proper 32 bit seed and so, no limited drops and no unusual drop odds on HRs. Its not a guarantee, but that's how it appears.
So now I'm deciding between RoF and LK at p3.

I've attached the "blank" hel rune pattern for clarification if necessary
