This page is in need of content.

Add links to the spading sheets, add explanations for selection of results
There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required.

Remaining seeds

To reduce variance in ascensions some content uses random values from a random number generator seeded with a deterministic value. This results in the same values being generated whenever the seed variables are the same. Most commonly in-game this will be experienced as a given class in a path receiving the same items every ascension, while a different class or path receives a different set of items.
