+### Drop Cost Difficulty Scaling
+
+Drop costs can be scaled based on the lance's drop difficulty rating, each modifier specifies a range of difficulty values
+(inclusive) where that modifier will be applied.
+
+example json:
+```json
+{
+  "minDiff": 0,
+  "maxDiff" : 0,
+  "modifier" : 1.0
+}
+```
+
+`minDiff` : the bottom of the difficulty range where this modifier kicks in
+
+`maxDiff` : the top of the range where this modifier is active
+
+`modifier` : the modifier to apply, less than 1 is a discount, greater than 1 is extra cost
