either reduce the amount of mandibles for the great sword from seven, or increase the chance of getting mandibles. killed 4 antlions and not one mandible. why is it seven anyway? because the sword has seven spikes? if that's the case, then why does the black ant shovel require any black ant mandibles when the model itself has none on it? please be consistent.

It's worth the cost........especially with the self repair mutation.   I killed everything in the sandbox twice over to get it.  It is a bit over powered once fully forged. If they reduce the cost it would probably get nerfed to no longer be as good

i do understand that. and that's why i also suggested increasing the drop chance for the mandibles. i shouldn't have to clear the sand box twice for it. and i still think some more consistency between crafting cost and the look of item models should be considered. like the black ant armor with it's thorns damage set buff should have more spikes than the red ant armor. the black ant shovel should have some mandible parts added to it's model to properly justify the need for mandibles, beyond just making it harder to get because it's a tier two item. 

Oh that's because the game now does rarified parts.  Before this update you could receive 1 gas bag. Boiler gland, ladybug head, mandibles or acid gland from the respective mobs now since the have been rarified that dropped it from a near 60% to maybe 10% an a high side estimate.

 

Your absolutely right that needs to be fixed. I would understand if they maid the weapon choice destroy the items (mace to head makes mandible/head unsalvageable) but other than that removing a body part from the drop list makes it seem you fought deformed critters
