	<h3>The source of the data:</h3>

	<dl class="dl-horizontal">
		<dt>
			Arena coin rewards
		</dt>
		<dd>
			From the XML files, API and experience
		</dd>

		<dt>
			Adventure rewards
		</dt>
		<dd>
			XML files, experience
		</dd>

		<dt>
			Guild coin bonus
		</dt>
		<dd>
			It’s in the API response as well as shown on the guild tab
		</dd>

		<dt>
			Epic drop rates
		</dt>
		<dd>
			The drop rates are in the XML files and in the API. It’s not specified what is the chance of each
			of the nine cards to drop, so I assumed it’s equal for all (1 in 9)
		</dd>

		<dt>
			Ad Crates contents
		</dt>

		<dd>
			It is unclear, but the API contains definitions of each possible ad crate type (from 500 gold to 2k gold)
			along with a <code>p</code> value in increasing order (from <code>2%</code> to <code>100%</code>). This is
			treated as an incremental probability for each type of crate. I.e. if the rarest doesn’t get selected, the next
			one may be, up to the most common crate with probability of 100%.
		</dd>

		<dt>
			Token drop rate
		</dt>

		<dd>
			There is no mention about the token drop rate in the XML files nor in the API.
			It was assumed about <code>0.75</code> points per won battle (the actual drop
			rate is lower, but it’s not uncommon to receive 2, 5 or more tokens in one drop).
			This value is based on a stats of few players from about 5k arena battles.
			This may vary, so take it with a grain of salt.
		</dd>

		<dd>
			You can look at the values in the
			<a href="https://github.com/cartoon-battle/cartoon-battle.github.io/blob/master/_data/values.yml">
				<code>values.yaml</code> file
			</a>
			and the calculations are done using
