The new wetness and drying time mechanic in 1.22 takes an excessive amount of time for items to dry out in front of a fire inside a building.
Suggest that drying out times for clothing and items are amended for:

Shortest time inside a building by a fire;
Slightly more time for a fire built outside in dry weather;
Longer time for worn items / lace items with no fire in dry weather;
Does not dry out outside by a fire in wet weather;
Does not dry out worn outside in wet weather.
