Summary

Canonical design for profession / gathering mutations — mutated mobs as high-effort material nodes that can still roll Instability rewards.

Branch: feature/profession-mutations

Repo doc: docs/PROFESSION_MUTATIONS.md

Depends on: #2 (merged / smoke-tested)

Design locks (2026-07-09)

Decision Choice
Drop items Vanilla item_template IDs × materialMult
Tier coverage Instability tiers 1–9
Rollout Scaled (LW) → Crystalline (BS) → Threadbare (tailoring)
Drop model illidari_profession_loot multi-row bundles per (professionTag, zoneTier)
Theme coupling Profession mutations require matching zone theme
Utility slot T4+ optional slot; profession XOR reward

Schema

  • mutation_definitions: mutationRole, professionTag, materialMult
  • illidari_profession_loot: (professionTag, zoneTier, itemId, minCount, maxCount, chance)
  • Gilded/Hoarder/Destined → mutationRole = reward

Implementation phases

  • Phase 0 — Design lock
  • Phase 1 — Framework (schema, utility slot, corpse loot hook, config)
  • Phase 2 — Scaled / Leatherworking (#6)
  • Phase 3 — Crystalline / Blacksmithing (#4)
  • Phase 4 — Threadbare / Tailoring (#7)
  • Phase 5 — Polish (economy tuning, owed-loot fallback, in-game validation all tiers)

Deferred: Verdant, Runed, Cooking/Fishing, enchanting mats on Threadbare

Child issues

Phase Issue Mutation IDs
2 #6 Scaled — Leatherworking 22, 24, 25
3 #4 Crystalline — Blacksmithing 26–28
4 #7 Threadbare — Tailoring 23

Test plan (framework)

  1. .mutation roll until utility slot hits at T4+ zone
  2. Confirm profession + combat mutations coexist; Gilded + Scaled never on same mob
  3. Kill Scaled mob in Badlands — corpse has leather + thread bundle
  4. Instability Cache can still drop independently
  5. .mutation reload picks up SQL changes

Phases 1–4 implemented and smoke-tested. Shared roll pool fix (7172ffe) replaces the utility-slot model. Landing via PR #8.

Phase 5 polish (owed-loot fallback, extra profession variants) remains open as follow-up after merge.
