Reward Value

The table below summarizes possible results for Opening a Bundle of Oddities and their average value at different levels of Seeing Banditry in the Upper River.

For simplicity, this table does not reflect rolling exactly 200, which is both extremely rare and difficult to price. Something eclectic grants Certifiable Scrap, while Something unexpected returns your soul if you lost it. This result is possible with banditry levels below 5, and may or may not be possible when banditry is exactly 5. Characters willing to sell their soul in the Soul Trade and who have already done so should increase the average value of those levels by 1.04 (a 1 in 300 chance of reclaiming their soul, permitting its sale again for 312.5 ).
