Since the skill descriptions have recently undergone a revamp, maybe some other lines could use a change or two.

For instance;

"<mob> has dropped a/an <item>, which your party reserves for <player>."

could be changed to;

"<mob> has dropped a/an <item>, reserved for <player>."

In a way it makes more sense. Why would your party, which in many cases consists of players mostly in it for themselves, say "Let's give it to that player!" when they usually want said item for themselves? The game, and by extension the mob, decides who an item goes to, not the party.

*coughs* Ask Olias and Tahlkora how many of your golds they have before claiming that they love you...

I'd rather make the gold lines show your share, no only the total.
And make the common drop lines show also color: White and blue.

I like this idea. I have always wondered why the greedy public congratulates people on getting a good drop (that almost always goes to the guy that the rest of the party thinks is useless or leaching).

Your concise description is how it should be now. The "which your party reserves for" is BS, considering how there's no actual player-controlled drop reservation system.

Do the same for quests. Simply show the objective.

Travel to point X and kill NPC Y.
Kill species S until you have # of item Z.
Reach Level #.

Etc. And also mention when heroes or henchmen take items. Watch as it turns out to be way more than an even split.
