Monster Book Cleanup

I don't know how common this opinion is, but my favorite thing about MapleStory has always been filling out the bestiary. Unfortunately, it's always seemed like an impossible task, since there are mobs that are limited to being under a certain level, limited to party quests that nobody plays (KPQ), or - at least in the final game - some that just plain aren't in the game anymore.

Has there been any talk about addressing this? I hate having characters who are just locked out of a complete bestiary forever, and it's thankfully something modern games have generally stopped doing. Even something like Frankly's trash can in Paper Mario TTYD would be fantastic - an ingame NPC who gives or sells you cards no longer obtainable.

There is a NPC at Taiwan Night Market if I remember correctly that sells PQ'S cards.The rest I'm afraid you'll have to collect them yourself.

PQ bosses are obtainable after the fact from Night Market and you'd probably have plenty of money to afford them if they are the only ones you're missing (assuming you run all the other bosses for cards and such)

Edit 1: will test if Shanghai Permit drop is still a thing later, I have been informed that it was fixed

Edit 2: Black Sheep map entry works even if you've dropped your permit, so there are truly no missable cards.

The only one that is truly lockout I think is if you drop the Shanghai permit before you complete the black sheep set.

I believe its a repeatable quest to get another permit if you drop it, or something like that. There were plenty of players who were previously locked out a few years ago that have been able to fill the set.

All monster cards are attainable.
