Dress Material and Mariner Cotton Cloth drop rates are awful.

How can you remove thing "without" increasing individual %? I don't ... think you understand how probability work. If you remove items from the loot list, you increase the % of the remaining loot, math is not a vacuum.

And frankly, map's mat is one of the "VERY FEW" things remaining for casual player to earn some gil. I personally don't do it, but I would not want to take it away from them. Gathering mats, materias were used to be other means, but more and more SE made them falling from the sky. Outside of housing this game is already as accessible as it it in term of getting what you want.

Removing things bumps up everything in the loot drop list's %. Which yes increases its drop rate. You can also make it so that an item itself also has a higher drop rate than other items. With or without increasing everything else's drop rate. Depending on if they were to remove items or not. Again I am not asking them to make it a huge increase on this stuff. I also think it's ridiculous that things like Morpho and the Thavnairian sets drop so often you could easily trip over them. I just think a lot of older side content should get a look at.

Heck I'd even be fine if they did look at ARR and HW maps and said they didn't think they or their drops need an adjustment. There's a lot of things that many feel get left on the road side or not deemed worthy enough to go back and take a look. Then there are things that the devs might not know there is a problem with until a content creator or a question gets picked in a Q&A and thus brought to their attention.
