Monster Collection. RNG to PRD

DepressedAran

FYI I know Monster Collection is getting 'revised' because collecting certain types of elite monsters is cancer.

Suggestion
Change rng to prd. PRD is pseudo-random distribution. A mechanic from DotA 2. "every "roll" operates independently, but in PRD, the effect's chance increases every time it does not happen. This results in the effects occurring more consistently."

E.g. P = 1%. Every monster of the same specie you kill will increase the probablility of collecting it by 0.1%. Killing a thousand consecutively should increase your chance to 11% and so on.

This is to prevent extreme cases of farming over many hours just to collect one monster, especially the high level ones. I spent 3 hours at Red Kentaurus* and gave up. Or you could just buff the collection rate, i don't care either way. Some of the rewards like character slots, VIP hair colors, chairs are great, but they're impossible to get unless you spend enormous amounts hours and have really good luck. I doubt the intention of Monster Collection was to feel like a chore, just as grinding for levels in 210+.

Supported.

Can we get this for all the RNG-based events, like dark lords of darkness and the hunter's club?

You can get prison guard boar and rhino from Von Leon's summons, as well as from Bounty Hunter Pollo's rampart defense.

Edit: They're also in Kritias during invasions.

Ani in Fifth Tower can also summon 1 of each. LHC Castle map in Monster Park has Prison Guard Boar, but I don't know if they count for Monster Collection. Make sure the monster has the exact same name as shown in Collection.

I can definitely confirm that Monster Park mobs can count toward collection. Give me a few and I'll find the one I got from it. It was Ghostwood Stumpy that I got from Monster Park. I also got Dragonoir from Pollo's thing(with five waves of mobs+boss).
