NOTICE: I'm just sharing thoughts, making predictions. No confirmations, or rumors. Be respectful to my thoughts as I would be to yours.
As the title reads, I've made this thread to give some of you maybe a little hope in regards to the change happening in Chaos where Mastery Books will not be drops anymore. Instead, Post-Chaos: Secret Mastery Books will drop from monsters instead of Mastery Books specifically for the variety of jobs we have.
Many Maplers are suggesting that this may be more difficult for the 4th Job Maple population and maybe for the economy.
However! . . .
My predictions: Although Secret Mastery Books will be replaced instead of lots of different Mastery Books dropping from monsters, the drop rate may be higher! If you think about it, with the drop rate we already have for Mastery Books, it's not that easy as it is. However, if the rate stays the same, every job will spend days, or even weeks trying to find the Mastery Book they want. So it may be logical to suggest that the rate will be higher.
With that being said, all of the different Mastery Books will have the same EXACT amount of likelihood or chance to appear from the Secret Mastery Book. Clearly, it wouldn't make any sense to have Big Bang 30 have a 34% chance of coming from the Secret Mastery Book while Over Swing 30 is 55%. There's not reason for it. That shouldn't happen, and I say it wont. No job is better than the other; essentially what this update's 'goal' revolves around.
If all Mastery Books have the same chance of coming from the Secret Mastery Book, then they should all cost the same as well in the Free Market being sold by people. I'm saying this from a logical standpoint. I would really just not buy any Mastery Books if I saw Over Swing for 55m and Big Bang for 23m. If it's the same chance, it's the same price. Even though that's the way it should go, it probably wont because of the supply and demand (thanks for pointing it out raizoo & lozmaster). Majority of classes will focus a lot more on a certain skill, etc.
So yeah, this is just all I wanted to say. I'm not trying to be a smart ass, just sharing my ideas and trying to be helpful to anyone who needs some thoughts.
But anyhow, discuss!
