But coins should only be dropped by creatures where it makes sense. For example goblins because they love bling bling^^

I agree that creatures such as the 2 currently implemented in game should not drop coin animals should drop meat and bone if there is any plans to add bone meal into the game.

Exactly, makes the most sense.
Maybe split the topic in two ? One about the randomness of the loot, and the other on the “roleplay-ness” of the loot ?
About roleplay-ness : it’s cool when it’s here, but tbh it’s barely noticeable. Not a priority for me.
About randomness : irritating. I love idea of weapons having different qualities/stats, but not by loot : by craft. By loot means endless grind of X or Y boss…
One approach that may be an interesting middle ground: what if the crafting materials themselves can be imbued with random effects? Those effects then carry over into crafted items
Examples:
- Maybe you get lucky and a spitter drops explosive essence that also poisons - enabling you to craft poison bomb arrows
- Or maybe when harvesting a tree, you get a trunk that’s extra strong - when you craft a tool from it, it has extra durability
- You could harvest stone that is laced with some sharp mineral - it would add additional damage when crafting weapons from it
- Maybe you dig up some dirt that is contaminated with ancient Oortian industrial runoff - when you grow food in it, that food temporarily changes your appearance randomly
- etc
