	:*'''''Worn Armor:''' When fighting low level humanoids you will often find rusty weapons as loot when you defeat them. Players have often asked “why don’t we also find rusty armor?” Starting in Release 53, low-level humanoids will drop worn armor which can be equipped or salvaged for patterns (note no pattern for the cloak). These will come in all armor types and a cloak: Rusty Plate Armor, Rusty Chainmail, Ragged Leather Armor, Dirty Cloth Armor, and Worn Cloak.''<br>[[Image:wornleather.jpg\|990px]]		:*'''''Worn Armor:''' When fighting low level humanoids you will often find rusty weapons as loot when you defeat them.

	:*'''''Player-Crafted Gear as Loot:''' ~~Player-~~crafted weapons and ~~armor~~ sold to NPC merchants now have a chance to appear in loot, specifically as one of the possible items in supply bundles. These items are somewhat sorted by power, so the more powerful items will appear in supply bundles found on more powerful enemies. Which bundles exactly? You’ll have to discover those bundles for yourselves!''		:*'''''Player-Crafted Gear as Loot:''' Any player crafted items with the "Crafted By" tag (weapons, armor, and non-stackable decorations) sold to NPC merchants now have a chance to appear in loot, specifically as one of the possible items in supply bundles. These items are somewhat sorted by power, so the more powerful items will appear in supply bundles found on more powerful enemies. Which bundles exactly?

	:*'''''Offline Drop Rates:''' In Online Mode, the drop rates were tuned based on the assumption of player trade. For example, the rarity of recipes was meant to be offset by the fact that they would be sold on player vendors to other players and/or they could be taught between players. In Offline Mode, none of that works, of course , and therefore the game was unnecessarily difficult—in some cases, veritably impossible. For R53, the drop rates for almost everything has been increased in Offline Mode. This means that resources (ex. ore), artifacts, recipes, gold, and components will now all appear at much greater frequency.''		:*'''''Offline Drop Rates:''' In Online Mode, the drop rates were tuned based on the assumption of player trade.
