Reduce Box chance for Monsterbloom

In all honesty but the Substantial Box you get from the Monsterbloom instead of getting a new entry for your monster collection is scammy af, and very disappointing to get. Despite of saying "and with some luck" you get three boxes out of five monsterblooms, that is dumb.

Either reduce the "luck chance" for these boxes or remove it entirely because their reward isn't even good and currently paying 200 coins only to get some reward points and *maybe* something you could use (trait, spell traces, etc.) is an awful trade.

    Yea, I don't get it either. From it's description, it seemed like an item explicitly used for giving you a monster entry. I mean, monster collecting is already rng, monsterblooms themselves being handed out in limited quantities, so you'd think they could put 2 and 2 together, but I guess they had to do this. Everyone would stop playing Maplestory if there were less luck involved after all.

    That's why I'd also be fine to go with a lower chance of getting boxes. So it doesn't have to be 100% to get a monster entry. Alternatively simply reword the item's description so you get with some luck an entry in your collection, instead of the opposite right now.

    The way it works is that if it tries to give you a monster you already have, it will give you a box instead.

    And let me guess, rather than acknowledge what an individual user has in their monster collection and roll for one not in the collection, it just rolls the whole nine yards and gives you whatever it falls on.

    Pretty much this. The more monsters you have added the less useful are the monsterblooms. It's somewhat wasted to get them as your chances are fairly thin starting from 400 monsters and above.

    Given that all the monsters left are either annoying to obtain (Elites) or out of the way, I'll take my chances with some extra coins.
