I am just wondering if your level difference has any effect on monster familiar card drop rates. I have been killing eye of times for 2 hours and nothing has dropped. is it just really bad drop rates on reboot or does it have something to do with level?

    Your own level has nothing to do with it. Higher leveled monsters are just harder to get familiars from.

    Your difference from the level does matter, but the familiar level does as well. The closer to the level of the mob, the higher the drop rate, but since the drop rate of higher-leveled familiars is much lower, it sort of evens out eventually.

    I've found that it usually takes between (Monster Level/3) and (Monster Level/5) minutes per familiar card with no drop rate add-ons. But that's on average; for me, some have dropped after a couple monsters and some have taken over an hour to get one. It's really all about the drop rate. I suggest going after familiars for monsters that are the only monster in the map (which Eye of Time is not); otherwise you have a chance of getting the wrong familiar instead of the one you want when you finally DO get a familiar.

    In these cases, Big Spider is your best friend.

    Not just that Eye of Time familiar by itself seems to have a lot lower chance of dropping then other familiars at it's level and above it's level so I think it's just the familiar by itself that is hard to get
