Update elite boss items

Copacetic

I feel like the items from elite bosses should be updated. Chaos scrolls should be removed as you can get better ones from monster collection. lower the rate of bonus potential stamps and souls. Maybe raise the rate of meister cubes and other useful items. Potentially add in some usefull things to help the average mapler get stronger.

Elite should also drop potential stamp for regular potential. Tradeable would be nice.

I don't know if they would implement anything new honestly, it would problably be untradeable the normal potential stamp(and they don't want to give so much cubes for free, it's needed for the RNG), the regular potential stamp would be cool even if it's rare.

I'd rather they restrict the tradeability to be honest. Like only movable within account. It's very offensive seeing 100s of CSS flooding the FM. If they can't fix the bot issue by catching them, then maybe limit their profit avenues.

The only thing i agree with here is that chaos scrolls should be out of it already.

I disagree. Being able to trade those CSS is the only reason you can buy CSS en masse in the FM if you don't want to waste days/weeks elite hunting to get the necessary amount of CSS. You are right that botters are a problem, and they influence the economy a lot, but implementing better anti-bot methods would be more effective and healthier in the long run than restricting trades of CSS from elite bosses

I have been getting 2-1 to 3-1 of non useful stuff to useful from the boxes the past few weeks I've been hunting. (have been including bonus potential stamps since having 100 of each is more than enough to last a lifetime.)

You know, the chaos scroll of goodness 30% and chaos scroll 60% don't need to be removed as they serve a good purpose. Leaving chaos scroll 60% in there gives a solid source of regular chaos scrolls for those of us that want cheap stuff to fill slots on equips for transfer hammer or for trying your luck on the first slot for say a +5 attack on items you wish to chaos scroll, with a big plus being the fact that its fully tradeable. The 30% chaos of goodness, although less pass rate, still serves a good purpose compared to the 50% one from monster collection because ITS FULLY TRADEABLE and stacks to 100 unlike monster collection taking up one slot each and being stuck on your character.

@thrakkes
Elite mobs DO drop main potential stamps in the form of account tradeable silver potential stamps, but at a rather low rate similar to the chance of get a safety scroll to drop from them. Elite boss chests give out time limited untradeable gold potential stamps, but again the rate of obtaining it is low, though not as low as getting a protection scroll.

What needs to happen is an increase in the rate of obtaining silver and gold potential stamps from elites and reducing the bot problem, since it can't be eliminated. Though I do have to say thank goodness the bot issue won't be fixed anytime soon, BECAUSE . .. my mesos wallet ain't gonna like it if I have to pay 50m - 70m+ for clean slates just because that is the base price before botters flood market and get it within cost effective ranges (spell trace clean slate is crap unless its fever time)..
