Objects and drops

[whathuh]

I was wondering if I could get a description of what exactly occurs when you open the chest and when items drop. Here's the catch....I need it in a simpler format (jarulf's objects post goes over my head because he mixed it up with mod stuff).

I'd like to know about the sparkling chests in particular as the others are simple and understood by myself. Just can't grasp how the sparkling chests work. (I think Jarulf calls them special chests.)

thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Don't take me as an expert, I'm only taking this from what I've read on a few posts here.

When you open a Sparkle chest, there is a chance for each of these possibilities:
1. 2% chance
2. 4% chance
3. 6% chance
4. 20% chance
5. 30% chance
6. 38% chance

1. Unique drop. If the unique fails, it will try again. If that unique fails, it will drop according to 6.
2. Set drop. If the set fails, it will try again. If that set fails, it will drop according to 6.
3. Rare drop. If the rare fails, it will try again. If that rare fails, it will drop according to 6.
4. Magic drop. You get 10 magic item drops. Once the chest drops 3 magical items, it stops dropping anything else.
5. Magic drop. You get 10 magic item drops. Once the chest drops 2 magical items, it stops dropping anything else. It then drops gold piles for 7 - # of failed magic drops before the required 2.
6. Magic drop (fail drop). You get 10 magic item drops. Once the chest drops 1 magical items, it stops dropping anything else. It then drops like a normal chest for 4 - # of failed magic drops before the required 1 (mf works here). Next it makes a 5 gold drops, 2 healing potion drops and 2 mana potion drops.

If this doesn't make sense, tell me what doesn't make sense about it and I'll try to clean it up a bit. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. I still don't understand how normal chests drop or what they have for chances to drop what.
