well look at that, theyre trying to usurp a niche that 3rd party forums have filled. :eek:

[IsaacGS]

Whoo Monster Book contest. Interesting.

[KajitiSouls]

Whoo Monster Book contest. Interesting.

Um, this basically equates to "how much time can you spend on MapleStory" contest.

[ChaosCorpse]

That "Book of Secrets" might actually be the first web event I'll actually put into consideration into. I plan on hunting them exclusively for the next month anyhow, so who knows? I may luck out with them dropping despite the many who will be using 2x drop to try and win.

Anyone else up for the challenge? Starting with the endangered species, anyone up for a speed collection?

Aren't all their events though? Asides from the designing ones that is.

[y0y0y0y0shi0]

I...am winning....that Monster Book contest. I WILL IF IT IS THE DEATH OF ME!

[Holypie]

let's see if a southperrian can win... i'm looking at Isaac...

Bring it, ladies. I'm attacking that monster book like it's a glorious new quest.

[JoeTang]

Bring it, ladies. I'm attacking that monster book like it's a delicious loli.

Har har. If only I were a respectable level to compete in this.

[y0y0y0y0shi0]

Bring it, ladies. I'm attacking that monster book like it's a glorious new quest.

Crap. Looks like I need to get like 50 levels in a few hours to compete with you guys. -Runs away killing every monster in sight-

And, I AM ATTACKING THIS MONSTER BOOK LIKE IT IS A HOT WOMAN THAT IS JUST WAITING FOR A GOOD TIME.

[IsaacGS]

Gonna be hunting cards whenever I'm playing anyway, the contest is just a bonus. :p
Now I have to keep my collecting strategies a closely guarded secret.


Really though, I'd be surprised if the winner wasn't from here. So much Monster book hype around here (my fault?)

[Sarah]

I'm absolutely going to participate in this as well. Isaac, bring it!

Damn skippy it's your fault Isaac!


Not saying that it's a bad thing though :f2:

[Kabanaw]

I'm going lowest to highest level, going by continent. Eg, Snails ------> Taurospears in Victoria. If I get bored because the monster has a crappy spawn, I'll move on :f3:

[KajitiSouls]

Aren't all their events though? Asides from the designing ones that is.

No. One of the better rewards from a non-time wasting event was the Lunchbox, and I got that in a matter of 20 minutes devoted to the event alone. All the contest events (except designer ones like you said) are though =P

If it's not your fault, then it would certainly be someone else's xD

Oh, does this mean you'll spend more time on your BM? =P

If a card drops, great. If it doesn't, meh. I'm not sure which monster I'd like for my cover art though. *imagines Jared having Pianus on the cover*

[Loose]

I'm gonna catch 'em all!

Yeah, I'll probably actually be on more now.

As for my cover, ideally, I'd like HH, but I'll probably go with the first rare card I get or some other card I'm particularly proud of. In KMS, I used Chief Gray as a cover. Whichever Boss card I get first will probably be it.

[Alloy]

If it's not your fault, then it would certainly be someone else's xD

*looks at signature*

My bad. Anyways, I'm keeping track of the Goblin hunt when I do it... I'll probably won't be able to do this contest since I'm away this weekend, probably, so, good luck everyone!

Shhh, that's a secret! Actually, I would not have known the Monster Book mechanics in spite of this anyways. Not now, anyways.

And please do tell us how your King Goblin baiting goes :glitter:

[DrRusty]

OMG OMG OMG YETI DOLL!!! Yeti n Pepe is by far my favorite monster in the entire friggin game

[Zpyke]

Shhh, that's a secret! Actually, I would not have known the Monster Book mechanics in spite of this anyways. Not now, anyways.

I must have missed this joke. I've seen Alloy's signature for a long time now, but never asked. What exactly is gobling bait? :f7:

And I want to win the contest, but sadly I've always had bad luck with drops. Be it apples, scrolls, or ores, it takes me a long time to find what I'm looking for. :f4:
I'll still try though. :f3:

[Orit]

I must have missed this joke. I've seen Alloy's signature for a long time now, but never asked. What exactly is gobling bait? :f7:


The three King Goblins are boss monsters from Korean Folk Town, which are summoned using special foods made in KFT (which can only be acquired once an hour or several hours).

Few people kill them more than once (for a quest), which means few people will have their cards in their books.

Alloy has decided to focus on getting these rare cards, first thing.
He has accumulated hundreds of each kind of summoning-food (bait), hoping that these will get him enough Goblin King kills to get their cards.

[SuperNerd]

I'll be attacking that Monsterbook as if I were one of those rabid, raging, infected zombie-people from REC. (Quarantine). Would be cool to finally win a contest.

Also, I hope they'll add cards for all the NLC and Crimsonwood monsters... unless they already have them?

[Sn1perJohnE]

err anyone notice this?

So, does the top winner get an extra 10k MPs?

[ChaosCorpse]

No. One of the better rewards from a non-time wasting event was the Lunchbox, and I got that in a matter of 20 minutes devoted to the event alone. All the contest events (except designer ones like you said) are though =P

Yeah, I was refering to the web events.

Do I sense some interest here to catch Issac for that Stalker SS thread :excellent:?

My personal plan is to wipe out chimera on all ch.s of Windia as soon as the patch is over, then head over to Vic and gather all of the endangered species. After that, I'll grab Malady on the way out of Vic and take on all Orbis Garden monsters prioritizing on Nepandeths. Beyond that I think I'll take out the upper levels of ludi, then head down the tower gathering as I get to Omega. After clearing out Omega, I'll use my last warp card to vic and clear out basically all the other low level monsters from Vic. I don't think I'll get much farther than that in a month though, given how rare the cards are to my knowledge.

[Chameleonic]

Just how rare a drop are the Monster Book cards? Any drop more often that others?

[IllegallySane]

I feel that boss monsters will have a slightly higher chance to drop to make up fro the fact you can only fight them so many times a day. A 5% chance would sound about right. 10% would be pushing it.

[IsaacGS]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Try more like .05%.

[FelixTM]

Yeah, I seriously lol'd. You could spend any amount of time in Magatia and know your 5% is an absolutely hilarious number. They're so much rarer than that.

[Kim41]

I've done all the magatia quests and spent a few hours here and there spamming roar to try and find chaos scrolls and helm int 60%s... I've found one monster book card so far. :P I'm not gonna bother with actually trying to win the event. >_>

There's a monster that drops Chaos Scrolls? O_O

(And while I'm at it, is it true a Zipangu monster drops Thermometer?)

[Harrisonized]

Yes, they do drop chaos scrolls. Nobody knows if that's still true as Nexon can apparently change the droplists at will.

I don't know about the Thermometers, but I think Newspaper hats drop in Zipangu.

Anyways, I already have around 4 monster cards, so I'm at a bit of a headstart. :f2:

I also have spring break to hunt for them. Someone make a list so we can keep track of who has the most! :f3:

I'm also wondering if repeats count as "cards".

[Sn1perJohnE]

id say they count, since there is a stack of 5 cards per monster.

[D3ath]

After the Winners are chosen, Sponsor shall send notification to each Winner via e-mail which shall also include a request for Winner's login information.

[Sn1perJohnE]
