Let me get this straight, instead of going with the easiest solution to manage catering for the sell price fluctuations on what are items with the magical combination of irregular sales and high price volatility the solution is to push the problem back onto players and make them calculate and do payouts manually for 15 shares across three different OCs? Come on, nobody wearing an admin or dev hat could seriously think that is a positive user experience.
As an FYI inaccurate pricing is an issue every single time a Crane Reaction completes successfully, not just when a cesium hasn't sold the previous day.
The one best way to manage it is to show the market price as a suggestion in an input field that can be overwritten with whatever price the items sold for, not doing manual payouts and not even dicking around trying to fudge the payout % to line up with the % of the displayed market price the items actually sold for, indeed it should be that for all OCs with an item-based reward.
Don't give em nothing ched - we went through 5 weeks of shit for that honour while these plebs have a downtime for a few hours at most and beg for it every time...
Are you sure this isn't just the full list of slashing weapons? I'm pretty sure that Claymores and Scimitars aren't of Japanese origin.
In case you have forgotten you specifically have clarified previously that Dual Sams were not included in the Ancient Japanese History perk because it only applied to weapons purchased from Japan.
Then there's also the notes around dual melees which clearly indicated that all four options were meant to be equal so nobody would be disadvantaged, irrespective of which variant they received. You personally were very specific about this back when the duel wield course was introduced and have said as much on numerous occasions since.
What you have done here and now in your almost panicky response to this out of the blue is tipped that previously noted balance in favour of Dual Sams.
Whether any of this is your actual intent or not is something we obviously don't know, but it all needed to be pointed out here
It has absolutely not always been this way - it has never been this bad and with every war now being a "full" 2.5k respect war you're now seeing small to medium sized filler factions being hit anything up to 500-700 times in some wars.
Throw in big factions now working together in fake wars in which they are racking up 10-15k+ respect against each other and arranging for everybody involved to claim a victory bonus or two and the filler is now getting smashed harder and for longer.
Meh buy mugger caught out by a corner case they could have sussed out with that too good to be true vibe all over it and comes crying to the forum's about it. Just take the L, learn the lesson and move on the way you expect the people you (successfully) mug to do.
A simple solution isn't "lazy" if it is the best fit solution for what is otherwise an almost intractable problem and, just to be clear, predicting (or tracking) the prices that individuals may sell items for is definitely one of those problems.
Back to the solution itself, instead of being chained to the drop down box-only idea you could easily add an editable text field with the appropriate look and feel adjustments to make it look like a label, with the market price (or the actual cash amount for cash rewards) as a "suggested" default value. Players could then either leave it alone or change it as they need to, if the item option is chosen them just blank out the text field (make it non-editable if you have to) as you're not using it in the subsequent split button callback anyway.
Clean, simple, no messing around trying to fashion back-end program logic to solve a problem that is for all intents and purposes not solvable, and the same approach has been used for adjustable values in literally dozens of other views in the game.

There are many factions out there that would trade places with you ion that n a heartbeat, but unfortunately your current experience is only destined to be a fleeting one and you'll soon be cursing your inability to spawn enough Break the Bank OCs like the rest of us.
Gonna be a rough couple of days for peeps identifying as trains, but then again they're usually late or getting cancelled so they'll probably miss this one anyway.
Nah he was just a bit dodgy abusing a position of trust by cooking the books for his own gain and maybe a lot too sleazy with the ladies in chat on the regular over here.
That skill set on his resume must have gotten his foot in the door when he hop-skip-jumped across to M and it appears that he has upped his game since then, at least based on the X number of pages of crap about it in this thread anyway.
