Chaos Hour

Contribution and hourly cycle

1. Use @chaosdonate to open the donation NPC, choose an amount, and confirm. The command does not take an amount argument directly.
2. Each accepted IP is removed from the character and added to one server-wide pool for the next roll. The pool has room for 100 items; any amount beyond the remaining capacity is not consumed.
3. The scheduled roll applies once per hour. The schedule and pool survive a server restart; if a scheduled time passed while offline, the server catches up during startup.
4. After the roll, the pool is consumed and reset to zero for the next cycle. The new Chaos Rate remains active until the next roll.

A short per-character cooldown prevents rapid repeat donations. The contribution is global, not character-specific.

Current source formula

pool = clamp(total donated IP, 0, 100)
effectiveIP = min(pool, 50)
excessIP = max(pool - 50, 0)
minimumBase = min(max(antiLowRollFloor, excessIP), 50)

base = weighted roll(minimumBase..50), when pool <= 50
base = uniform roll(minimumBase..50), when pool > 50
rate = min(base + effectiveIP, 100)

if rate < 50 and a 10% Surge roll succeeds:
    rate = 50

The normal weighted roll favors low Base tiers. Pools above 50 use a uniform roll from the excess-IP floor up to x50; donated IP still contributes a guaranteed +x50.

*Assumes Anti-Low-Roll is at its initial x1 floor. The pool-50 Base is weighted; pools above 50 use a uniform roll.

Chaos Base weights

The tier boundaries scale with the remaining range. If a narrow range collapses a tier, its weight is redistributed among tiers that still contain values.

Protection and effects

• Anti-Low-Roll: each Base result below x40 raises the minimum for the next hour. A Base result from x40 to x50 resets the next minimum to x1.
• Chaos Surge: each roll below x50 has a 10% chance to be raised to x50.
• Boss Stat bonuses: use the full active Chaos Rate.
• Player damage: the Chaos contribution is capped separately at x10 by default, so a high Boss Stat rate does not multiply personal damage by the same amount.
• Players receive an in-game announcement. Discord receives contribution and roll announcements plus a status update every five minutes.

The IP pool can raise this minimum too: above 50 IP, every excess IP adds one to the Base floor, up to x50. The active minimum is the higher of that excess and the Anti-Low-Roll floor.
