Alright guys, I've been at MDT for literally 6 hours on my bishop and I've not gotten a single recipe. I would like to know your experiences in collecting these recipes. I'm so angry, I've got all the materials ready, I just need the pineappleing recipe.

You need a character within the level range of the monster to actually get drops other than ETCs. Considering your bishop is 15x....yeah, you're not getting the recipe anytime soon.

Honestly, I'm still surprised people don't know of this system when it's been talked about for months prior to GMS getting it.

I figured this was it but my friend got one and he's a higher level than me. Must be luck I guess...

That's impossible.

Maybe on a 120 CK, but otherwise there's no possible way.

I've tried this before, it doesn't work that way either ;x

I pretty much used to be there 5hours a day for two recipes. I got one in like 20-30 hours, and the another one in like ~15 there. Took pretty much a lot of time, and used many charas such as:
- 120 DW for like 3-6 hours
- 111 BW for like 8-13 hours (levelled to 116 as well and stopped using it because I didn't like playing BW's at all)
- 110~116 priest (started to be killed close to levelling, did that like 5 times) like 10-15 hours.
Like 3 hours was with event 2x, and the other times was most with 1,2x drop. It was really hard to get it and pretty much annoying, as I couldn't use my Dual Blade there and had to make a priest from zero just to be able and be certain of full drop rates.
So yeah, basically had to use my friend's charas, then when sidekick came I made my own priest just for that sole purpose.
Kinda sad actually. Hate that stupid anti-botting system.

I don't know why they can't just limit the drop rate nerf to mesos only.
Meso inflation is the damage bots cause after all I believe. Why is increasing the supply of items such an issue? I understand deflation of desired items would be an issue, but if the price of EVERYTHING else goes down too in the same fashion, wouldn't that be rendered null?

They don't want botters controlling the market. A legitimate player trying to make some meso off a rare drop, can't do it when botters are (a) taking up all the channels and (b) undercutting prices.
Of course this new system hurts the legits even more than the botters, but that's Nexon for ya.

I have had really low level mobs randomly drop shitty equips when I killed them on my marksman or mercedes. I always assumed it was because someone else did over 50% of their health already recently and I finished it off. I think it DOES work, but not worth the effort.

I think I heard someone say that after you pass a certain level the lowered exp and drops goes away, and from what I've seen on my dual blade it might be true. Can't remember what that level was though.

Mobs over 150 are not affected by it, if that's what you mean. They drop normally even if you're 200.

Should bring back the old system, if hunted in map/hunted monster for about x times, bring the captcha window up.

I don't think GMS has ever had that system.

How much higher does your level have to be above the mob to cause this? Wild guess is 20+ but confirmation would be nice.

We had the captcha system for a short while just over a year ago for certain maps. I remember having to do it in the skels dungeon.

Are bosses like Zakum affected by this anti-botting system? Attempting to get D/WABR or something from Zakum using a character around 110 while partied with a bunch of other people who would most likely want to take the items for themselves is going to take a while.

No they are not affected.
