cracked staff was always the $$ of drops, because you'd kill a skelly with one and be "NooooOoooo" when it turned out to be a worn great staff.

Some rusties (broadsword etc) were trashy and sold for much less than the others. 2 handers, long swords all sold for a gp each.

That's what I'm seeing: broad swords, short swords, and maces sell for a few silver, other rusties sell of 1 or 2 gold. They may not be 100% exact on price, but I haven't seen anything glaringly out of whack.

Yeah, like I mentioned I don't have any real proof. I misstated the bat fur example - sorry about that.

Sadly it would be hard to get proof since it's just kind of an across the board - "I'm way richer off of yard trash than I ever was in 1999".

Maybe it's that the venom sacs and similar stuff are dropping much more often now. I guess we may never know. :/
