From http://spadow.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/k...the-hero/:
Quote:Boss monsters now drop a secret mastery book instead of the original mastery book. With a secret mastery book, it’s a surprise which mastery book you get.
So do each boss now have a chance to drop any mastery book or is it still based on the drop tables?
From a thread on ellin forest's kms section:
Quote:Mastery books from bosses no longer drop as the original skill, but drop as a Secret Mastery book 
MW20: 4.5m -> 85m
PS: 1 Mastery book per boss kill.
Not sure about Zakum though.
Definitely Chaos if you ask me

Sounds stupid, unless it can give MW30.

basically expensive books = cheaper. Cheaper books = more expensive.

So instead of 1 MW20 per HT, it's now 1/195 chance of MW20 per HT?
Lol.

I have to imagine it will only give you advances on books for your class and ones that you haven't already done. So if you've got everything else maxed except MW30 it would probably give you MW30.

Are Area Bosses included? or is it just the big bosses?

That would make sense, and wouldn't be too bad.
So definately not.
Is this just boss books, or from regular mobs too?

I would far prefer this to a "box reward" type thing, and this is also how i first imagined it working like.

Wait do bosses always guarantee a book drop now? That's actually a good reason to Pap then. If not...eh whatever.

That would imply that a script would be attached to this item. There isn't. It's just a standard list of probabilities, items, and counts - completely random.

Well, I've soloed Pap twice after BB and the best thing I got was a Vifennis, no mastery books.

Does anyone remember the old herb system in Runescape where you get an unknown herb at random?
This is kinda like that.

This kinda sucks.
At least now there'll be more random mastery books in the market.

That's Nexon for you.
Instead of making an effort to, you know, balance stuff, figure out which books are too rare, they just toss this "Here. Now all books are equally easy to get. Now shut up already about your book being hard to find."
Interesting that they're still keeping MW30 out of this. (wonder why it's not next to the 20?)

I wonder if this defeats the purpose of ever going to pinkbean ever again now.

Given how HT drops MW30, was there really ever any reason other than bragging rights?
