1. Elshira.
Increase spider staff drop rate to 33%. Add Runed Cloak as alternative drop with 10% drop rate. Restrict Elshira’s square to level 1-25 alts.

The spider queen is perfect mini-boss for any small party, unfortunally balancing her toward low-levels means that she could be killed almost instantly with archmaster crits. Take her away from bored veteran players and give novice players a better loot.
2. Giant crocodile.
Increase crocodile skin boots drop rate to 85%. Add crocodile tooth necklace as alternative drop with 15% drop rate.
Library info for Crocodile Tooth Necklace:

This crude item gives some substance to the story, Level needed to equip it: 1, Strength modifier: 0, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 0, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0.

Anyone killed giant crocodile when he was noob but was it really worth it? A tiny bit improvement to the old friend.
3. Rel’thon’s Chest
Increase spawn rate to 6 hours. Decrease scarlet dagger drop rate to 85%. Add Enchanted Bracers as alternative drop with 15% drop rate.
Library info for Enchanted Bracers:
Armor base: 2, Can be worn by: thieves, Description: A finely crafted leather forearm protection.

Steel Bracers – ac 2, lvl 5, cost 500gp.
Scarlet dagger guild could be done with fairly small party, ideal for a new player, unfortunally the main drop is often missing because like elshira, veteran players go there when they have nothing better to do. Will this idea add more scarlet daggers into game? Yes. Will it unbalance anything? No. Will new drop and faster spawn make sdg more fun for novice players? I think so.
4. Sylva.
Increase fancy short sword drop rate from 2% to 5%.
Similar logical argument as with Rel’thol chest. A few but most dedicated players had ever seen this drop and most likely they already had much better weapons to use by time they got it.
