Confusing and Possibly Incorrect Chances for Primary Items

According to [1] or [2]: "The loot table above are approximated and the chances of getting items depend on where the chest is. A chest on the top-most 3/7th of the biome contains an Ancient Chisel, Dunerider Boots, a Snake Charmer's Flute or a Magic Conch and a chest on the bottom-most 4/7th of the biome contains a Storm Spear, a Thunder Zapper or a Bast Statue."


Thus shouldn't the chances in the "Primary Items" table be as follows?

  • 1/4 for an Ancient Chisel, Dunerider Boots, a Snake Charmer's Flute and a Magic Conch (for chests on the upper layer).
  • 1/3 for a Storm Spear, a Thunder Zapper and a Bast Statue (for chests on the bottom layer).


I suggest changing table with one of following variants:

Variant 1 (draft):

Primary items (only one)
