rate seems rather low, so I thought I'd ask here.

    The thing is the level curve system brought also a formula that the lower/higher you are from a monster's level, the less EXP and drop rate you get. If it helps, try hunt a monster within 0-4 levels so you get the highest EXP and drop bonus possible.

    I haven't tried training on my main yet, but I got a new character to level ~40 with the burning event and only saw 2 boxes drop. If the rate is that low its too low imo, but I could have just been unlucky

    You have to really think about your lv in relation to the mobs. When hunting mobs my lv on my burning WK i got boxes frequently but it fell off as I tried to catch up and do Ellin Academy and Gold Beach. I got about 20 boxes in between lvs 20-30 But after that my lv's started Sky rocketing cause 2x came into effect and as I was reaching the Main building in Ellin Academy I was 4X so I didn't get many from there about 5 and none from Gold Beach. Hoping since I'm starting Mushking at proper level I'll be able to get some more.

    Also can't be sure but I heard you can only get 30coins/Stones a day sooooo Not really worth opening more then 30.

    I did Dimensional Invasion on my level 214 Battle Mage and got 27 boxes in one run, despite the monsters only going up to level 180. My friend did a Commerci run, where the monsters scale to your level, and he's over level 220 and only got 6 boxes.

    They drop a ton. You just don't hunt mobs with good drop rates or close to your level probably.

    Dimensional Invasion always seems like a great place to get event drops

    Ohh PLEASE. The drop rate is far better than rice cakes. I got about 50 cakes per DIPQ during double exp + Lucky Wineter and one 20% DR gollux ring. Yes, 1 DIPQ which takes about 5min if you one shot the mobs, will more than enough get you cap (30) per day.

    For nodestones however, if you want more just do more DIPQ.

    No, the drop rates seem the same. Only reason why it seems faster is that you needed more than 30 rice cakes per day. You needed 1200 rice cakes per day.

    On the other hand you only need 30 V Boxes just for the coins. Farming more than that is just a bonus on-top of it for something like nodestones.
