Monster Familiar System Update

They back you up in the heat of battle and support you when youre under attack. Now were giving monster familiars a big boost that will make them even more helpful! Read on for the changes being applied to the monster familiar system on November 10.

Cards from monster drops:

• The drop rate for familiar cards has been increased up to 10x for all levels of monsters.
  
• Level 70+ monsters now drop cards.
  
• Keep in mind while you're hunting that higher level monsters still have a lower chance of dropping as Familiar cards than lower level monsters.
  

Cards from Booster Packs:

• The first card from a Booster Packs will still be common, the second will now have a 50/50 chance of being common or uncommon, and the third will have a 60% chance to be uncommon and a 40% chance to be rare.
  
• Cards of level 70+ monsters are now available through Booster Packs.
  

Booster Packs can be purchased in the Game section under the Etc. tab in the Cash Shop. Double-click a card pack in your inventory to activate it.

A familiar card can be registered in your Crusader Codex double-clicking it. A familiar can be summoned through the Familiar tab in the Crusader Codex and is available for 30 days after registering it. Registering a second card from the same monster increases its duration to 60 days and increases its max vitality, and registering three cards from the same monster increases its duration to a max of 90 days and increases its max vitality to its limit.

White Wrote:Bottom of the notice.

Razmos Wrote:Meh, the drop rate really starts to suck for any enemies level 20+ and gets steadily worse from there, i can't even imagine farming for enemies level 90+, wow.

They even mention in their post about higher level players hunting low level familiars. But i have to ask myself, WHY would a higher level player spend hours hunting a familiar from a low level monster if it'll go away in a month?

And what about Rare and Legendary cards? That take FOREVER to get, like the Papulatus clock card, and when you finally get it after MANY TRIES you'll lose it?
It STILL MAKES NO SENSE. They're totally unable to see such thing that is only based on COMMON SENSE, they only need to THINK.

Why is it so hard not to ruin a system that was good originally? Just leave it as it was before, P-E-R-M-A-N-E-N-T.

PirateIzzy Wrote:Because Nexon wants to make money off it.
Seriously Nexon. If I wanted expiring shet, I'd buy NX clothes.

LegendGospel Wrote:Yet how are they making money off this? Booster packs for expiring cards? I'm sure more people would be encouraged to buy Booster packs if they gave permanent cards. Also making the droppable cards permanent wouldn't affect their profits, as lazy people/NXhoars would still just take the easy route anyway, buying from the CS, as opposed to hunting the cards.

I agree that making the familiars expire makes really forgetful an otherwise awesome addition to the game.
