My lolwuts of the KMS update

To add to this: Those monkeys are also something like level 35, so you always have some chance of missing, and they have roughly a 60% drop rate of the dark marbles.

Advancing as a Mage the other day was the most painful and time consuming job advancement I've ever taken, totaling over 25 minutes from something that should take 5.

They probably want to make it more like a challenge, so that you feel acomplished for completing the test. (like in RO, god damn those job quests!)
