Gameplay Notes
- Kaveh refunds 25% of the materials used. On average over time, he refunds 25% of each material used.
- The 25% is first calculated on the total number of rewards and rounded down. Then the refunded materials are re-distributed among the different materials used according to their original ratios, with decimals randomly rounded without changing the total quantity of refunded materials.[verification needed] This means that if the quantity of any material used is not a multiple of 4, then there will be fluctuations in the amount of materials refunded.
- For example, a furnishing that requires 12 of one material and 6 of another material has two possible distributions of refunded materials: 3 of the first material and 1 of the second material, or 2 of each material.
