Function Syntax

float [monster] appearance_rates(location place )

• place is the adventuring location to parse

Returns a map, keyed by monster, with the appearance rate percentages as decimal values (ie a 30% rate monster has a value of 30.0). Bosses, semirare encounters, and other one-time-only monsters have a value of 0.0; ultra-rare monsters have a negative value (the actual value varies; test by looking for value < 0, not value == -1). Does not account for combat rate modifiers, olfaction, etc.
