May Game Health Feedback Response - Part 2

Should common loot be balanced with rare loot in mind, or solely based off boss difficulty? (I.e. boss has really valuable uniques, so it’s commons can be worth less or vice versa)
Current/ unchanged boss average common loot values for context

Kril, GWD2, QBD, Matriarchs, Osseous, Nex, Rax
Current/old values for NM/HM Kpac, Rasial, Raksha

I am concerned about the sources for Dwarf Weed, Torstol, and Spirit Weed seeds.
Kpac

Coins/Alchables down 50-66%, most other things down 20-40%
+50% manuscripts dropped
+1%(NM) 6-13%(HM) chance for rares

AG

NM- 80% decreased loot for 5-mech, 0/1mech. 95% fewer charms 0/1mech, 60% less 5mech.
Are Spirit seeds still on the NM drop table?
HM- 33% for most things, 66% for salvage, more for Bane spirits/nests, +50% more rares

Zamorak- was responsible for ~20% of the gp entering the game a day.

Undercity- ~66% less salvage
Boss- like 50% off most things, onyxes out.

Worried about dwarf weed seeds coupled with rasial changes.

Zuk-

Minions- like 80% less bolt tips, 66% less salvage
Boss- changed some drops to be spirits, no numbers
Minions on Challenge waves no longer give drops on repeat attempts

Raksha-

-66% alchables, rebalanced rare table to add value
Removing spirit weed seeds, has me worried

Wildy Events-

Salvage worth 66%less, decreased coins, logs, remains
Replaced bakriminels with rune drops
+50% chance at dark core

Vorkath-

Significantly increased rare item chances.

Rasial-

~20% fewer alchables
Significant decrease in Dwarf weed/Torstol seeds- 1/24 each for 40 seeds->1/72 each for ~6 Dwarf/Torst/Fell
