Once it is released, monsters will drop cards of themselves. If you collect the card, then you can view that monster within the book. It will show all of the drops that the specific monster has.

Isaac or somebody else can probably explain it better, but that's the gist of it.

You collect the cards which drop the monsters (semi-rare)... First card shows the picture of it, 2nd HP/MP, 3rd showed some Japanese text I couldn't read (probably description), I forgot what 4th gives, and the 5th gives extra experience from that monster when ever you kill them! I'll give pictures later from jms.

That was my first idea though, but when I thought of goblins, I imagined: "And I'll have to wait 3 hours for one of the baits? NO WAY". And that's what I'll do. Not wait.

Now I hope it drops at a 1% rate AT LEAST

I don't have a SS of it on hand, but basically it has a picture of a book, and cover of the book changes color every 11 or so cards you get. This also increases the book's level. I have approximately 50 different cards, but my book's cover is green and it's level 3. I don't think that "special cards" (Boss monster Cards and Event monster cards) count towards your book's level.

The PQ monsters are in the book (as shown by Isaac's screenie of King Slime and Alishar among others). In kMS, I believe, you could trade in the Maple Leaves for the various cards. Papulatus was...10k leaves per card, IIRC based on what Isaac said. The leaves had around a 95% droprate there as well, so you could find a lot of them easily.

4th card gives you the entire drop list that the monster drops. This information is client-sided I believe, as there has been at least one error that the dev. team acknowledged and fixed.

I think the reactor that summons the King Goblins disappears once the monster is out. They come back when you finish killing King Goblin though xD

Just in case it matters, I think monster limit for maps is 50.

Monster limit varies from map to map, but yeah, for most areas 50 is a good guideline.

You can actually summon more than one of a goblin at a time, however the reactor becomes slower and slower after you've summoned a few. When you start getting 3-4 out there, it becomes tough to drop more summoning items too :p

Could you not use the old Meso Dropping trick of 000050000, but with 000000001 to spam drop the items? Then they would disappear one at a time as it summons them :wink:.

Anyways, what's with the varied numbers?
they have different repetition intervals and give different quantities. One quest gives 1 bait every hour, while another gives 2 every 6 hours, or 5 every day. If you only check once a day, obviously the last one is better, but if you're gonna hang around KFT a lot then you could easily get more of the first.

No they all do. We've learned that just because you can't click an enemy doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't drop a card. It just means that specific spawn isn't the one in the book. For example, I believe Jr. Boogie 2 is the one in the book, so Jr. Boogie 1 wouldn't be clickable, but still drops a card. Iron Hook is another example of this. It's an erroneous monster and still drops the Iron Hog card.

I also believe that separated yeti and separated pepe are both capable of dropping individual monster cards for their lesser spawn. The Yeti and Pepe card appears upon the separation.

Same place, it would just drop the Jr. Boogie 1 card rather than a Jr. Boogie 2 card (of which there are none.) Just like Iron Hook drops Iron Hog. There is no Iron Hook card. Also, I said "I believe" because I wasn't sure and didn't have the game running to check.

Whats Iron Hook? Iron Boar?

Iron Hook is a recent mistaken re-translation of Iron Pig. No idea why they went and changed them, but they did. Probably a mistake. Iron Boars are different monsters that reside in a HS off of the main wild boar map and deep into Burning Street. They look like wild boars with reinforced iron plating and a tuft like helm (think the level 35? warrior hat).

I'm sure someone else who posts an image would just make it far more simple than me explaining it, but yeah...

I also believe that separated yeti and separated pepe are both capable of dropping individual monster cards for their lesser spawn. The Yeti and Pepe card appears upon the separation.

I got my YnP card from the separated Pepe, as far as I could tell.
