What the drop tables grant
| Context | Rows | Amount each |
|---|---|---|
| A boosted character’s starting items | 1 | 30 |
| Dreamstone rewards | 10 | 1–10 |
| Granted at the start | 1 | 10 |
| Mission rewards | 8 | 0–3 |
| Not named by the file | 10 | 1–10 |
These are the amounts a single grant is worth. Where each context fires — which activity, which enemy, how often — is UNKNOWN: the files name the context, not the place, and the drop trace has not been run for resources.
