Spawn rate of armor improvements (previously "drop rates")

[vidar]

i'm a bit confused. why did we lower the drop rate of iwd's, ea's, prep weapons, and ew's? untill about a week ago this didn't affect me i didn't really care didn't bother me. but now that my little bro is playing i realize this affects newer players greatly. makes it almost impossible for them to level since monsters can easily break their ac. if it wasn't for me lending my brother a few +12 items he probably wouldn't even want to play because he wouldn't enjoy it.

it seemed like an ok idea at first. but now the only people it affects really are newer players.
i suggest either restoring the drop rate or at the very least increasing it.
