Yeah, this. However, you reminded me that us players who do like to do the quests and complete things will gain an advantage.
blitzkrieg Wrote:the buffs are really negligible. the only good card buffs that I can think of could possibly be from bosses.. but the others are useless things like tiny DEF increases against specific monsters. and if I remember correctly, you can only access each monster's drop table after collecting 4 cards from it, which is difficult unless you actually spend hours killing just that monster.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I read about the book, I was pretty sure you get a 10% damage boost to that monster once you have all 5, no?

I know you were, I meant to put in that it wasn't directed at anyone. Just wish it'd stop. It's a bad habit.
