    As written in the topic title, this suggestion is to convert the 0-4 RNG drop rate of Scarlion/Targa helmets to at least 1-4 (instead of a minimum 0).
    - ie. guarantee at least one helm per run

    I guess for the most part most people would see this suggestion as a rant and a famous "MapleTip : being unlucky is not a bug" probably will arise somewhere in the comments

    However, for those who kills Scarlion & Targa regularly, be it for your friends, guilds, selling a service or getting yourself a helmet, you find that getting 0 helms after spending an amount of time killing these annoying 99% chance-alternate-cancel bosses a huge demotivation to re-enter again.

    Before any of comments arise to rebut this suggestion with a comment that this boss is easy and whatnot, a few pointers in mind:

    1. It still takes at least 30minutes or more to solo the boss, and that is 30 minutes of your life wasted if 0 helms drop, and if you solo without apple, it would definitely take at least 45minutes of your life every run. It's annoying enough that the reason these bosses waste a ton of your time is because of the alternate-magic/weapon-cancel which occurs at a 99% rate (sometimes you do get double-cancels of the same type, but those are rare), but it really sucks to finally kill it and find 0 helms dropped.

    2. We could argue that we should just go in with a party and kill it faster so we don't waste that amount of duration everytime we enter, but in reality, VERY RARELY ANYONE (like 1% of ML population) or NO one in our current meta, actually goes into Scarlion with a trio-or-more party or more just to help you on a daily/regular basis. Even if one does find a party, to actually look for members willing to run together, takes a hella amount of time.

    3. This is not a one-time thing if you were to spend that amount of duration every single day, twice a day, killing this boss. And doing so only to find yourself rewarded with nothing is a huge bummer.

    Compared to Zakum and Horntail which provide alternative rewards such as some EXP, valuable marketable skillbooks (and I mean, even chairs) if you get ZERO amount of helms/pendants, Scarlion and Targa helm literally provides nothing much more valuable unless you are lucky enough to get an Overall Armor for INT 60% (and that is only dropped by Scarlion, Targa literally gives nothing valuable except Helms) - SCARGA EXP IS DOGSHIT.

    So PLEASE consider this suggestion.
    - guarantee at least one helm per run, and convert the drop rate from 0-4 helms to 1-4 for Scarlion & Targa
