Savages drop question M3S specifically

[Oizen]

They never bothered to update the text after changing how savage loot works in anabaseios.

Given, its a stupid predatory system that goes against playing with friends so it just sucks all around

I assume this was done at some point to balance the worths of the pieces (though I think they're overvaluing the pants there)

My pseudo-headcanon is that the Battle Content dev team is having a little competition with the MSQ dev team and the Sidequests dev team to make the player wonder about pants. This results in the high valuation of pants in the gear system, one of the titles by which the player is addressed in the MSQ being Stealer of Pants, and the wardrobe quirk of Godbert Manderville.

Do I really, really, believe that? No. But I enjoy it as a pretend fancy because it is funnier to think that is what is going on, and it gives extra joy whenever the game does something that actually works with one of those little joke theories.
