There's probably nothing to make of the ancient crystals, but with the totems - leave the droprate, but increase the price by a large amount or slightly increase the droprate and slightly increase the price.
So far I think it'll be good if Pali straight up releases the droprates for the weapons. Otherwise I'm kinda confused when to expect a drop and if it's even worth killing them, especially if the staff/vls/hammer have the same droprates as the axes/javs which doesn't sound as appealing.
People have been talking about having multiple weapons, but since I haven't seen either a drop message, nor someone running around/using one, nor even attempting to sell one - I'm pretty sure most of the people claiming to have the weapons are lying, which makes you think about the droprates lol.
