Increase the Drop Rate for Homunscullo Monster Cards

Over the time I've gotten 5 Deet and Roi cards on ten different characters, I make it a point to also kill the two Homunscullo that spawn typically right after it. In that course of time, I've only gotten four Homunscullo Monster Cards (1 on four characters, 0 on the other six). On average, I would estimate that I get 1 card for every 4 runs of all channels. With a total of two spawns on eight channels every hour - that's 16 mobs per hour - exacts 1 card for every 64 spawns. It would take one person 20 hours of constant game play to achieve five cards. If I'm doing my maths correctly, that would mean that if we had 1000 players who wanted to get those cards, it would take 2.3 years of game play for them to get it - if there was any competition for them. Why did I choose 1000 players? Well, when I look at the top 1000 players on the Rankings for Monster Cards, the 1000th player currently has 1346 Monster Cards. There's a lot of players who want that Tier 10 Ring. Yes, there are plenty more to choose from, but this one is a bit ridiculous. For those completionists, we're talking about a monumental waste of time waiting for those two mobs to spawn every hour, rush through all 8 channels (killing Deet and Roi over and over again just to prevent getting warped back to Magatia) and only getting 1 card every four hours. I don't believe any mob that has that low a spawn rate should have a drop rate that low.

 

It's actually 12 characters. I'm just looking at the sample I've experienced. It's a large enough sample to have a significant level of confidence. While I understand the drop rate is lower as the mob levels get higher, I was able to get 5 Male Boss cards - a higher area boss mob - within an hour. The drop rate I've experienced, and even what others here who disagree with me have described, all indicates the Homunscillo has about 1/5 the drop rate of similar area bosses that spawns 1/30th the time. That makes this particular mob approximates 150 times more difficult than average. I'm not against difficult cards to get, but this one is ridiculous.

 

That's just it. I have 5 D. Roy cards already. That took approximately 6 or 7 runs. Each channel, also, has 2 spawns per hour. Additionally, D. Roys are hunted for their quest item drop, making them a little bit more stiff on the competition, but, again, I got them in a reasonable amount of time. Transversely, if the drop rate for D. Roys and Homunscillos were the same, I wouldn't be posting this. So, the buff I'm calling for is to equal them to D. Roys.

 

I've had that experience with many different mobs, which is why I would never propose such a thing unless I've done a lot of grinding for them on multiple characters. I would wager that your experiences with both are abnormal. I've heard a few people complaining about D. Roy not dropping cards - so I steeled myself for the process and found it to be fairly nominal to what I would expect an area boss would drop. I also heard the same about Homunscillos, but I figured it was as overblown as the D. Roys were. I found this not to be true. You have done this with one character. Out of my 12 characters, only one has never gotten a Deet & Roi card, the rest have their sets of 5 with the exception of one char only has 4. In that time, they've all hunted the Homunscillos that follow - and only four characters have 1 card. That's a staggering difference to warrant - and a large enough sample size to justify - asking whether or not the drop rate for these cards is abnormally low.
