What to do with hunting gach tickets...

The idea was interesting, but even before the system was implemented for a month, certain people already had tons of tickets. This topic does not cover what it is we can actually receive from hunting gach tickets. All we know from word of staff is that the rewards are "good", however.

This topic is only here to address the abundance of hunting gach tickets and how to rebalance them.

First what we need to do is wipe all the current hunting tickets. Be sure to not only look in every player's cash item slots, but also in their account's cash shop inventory.

Then what we need to do is balance the drop rate of tickets for each mob considering their popularity and the risk/difficulty vs reward received when killing them.

For example:

extreme rare drop rate (1/20,000 - 50,000)
slimy, selkie jr, and pac pinky (overcrowded ghost ship mobs)
skeles
chronos
himes
wolf spiders
water goblins
kentaurus
teddies
gobis
squids
most Victoria island mobs and Ariant mobs
PPQ mobs
golems
The theme here is low level mobs as well as any place that screams "training spot".

very rare drop rate (1/10,000 - 20,000)
Other popular training mobs like:
coolie zombies
night ghosts, dark cloud fox
wraiths
jr pepe
birks
popular ToT mobs (certain ones are more popular than others)
death teddies
dual ghost pirates
spirit vikings
bone fish
hectors/white fang/jr yeti
lupins and zombie lupins
LPQ and KPQ and mobs
Many ludibrium, omega sector, KFT, aqua, mu lung, and orbis mobs
The theme is lowish-mid level mobs and other mobs which might be considered "good training" for niche classes.

rare drop rate (1/5,000 - 10,000)
the other ToT mobs
phantom watch / grims
master death teddy
gigantic spirit viking
yeti, pepe
normal ghost pirate
Most mobs in dragon forest/canyon
Basically most other high level mobs with decent exp/hp ratios, but which generally aren't trained on much for whatever reason. Or, mid level mobs that just aren't that popular.

low drop rate (1/2,000-5,000)
beetles, rashes, harps, hankies
yeti & pepe
dark drake, ice drake, wild cargo
captain, kru, mr ali
klock, dark klock, soul teddy, master soul teddy
OPQ mobs
Basically extremely unpopular mobs for whatever reason. They may be less frequent than other mobs. They may have garbage exp/hp ratios. More likely than not they are simply annoying to deal with.

uncommon drop rate (1/800 - 2,000)
Thanatos
Gatekeeper
Lycanthrope
Werewolf
Very rare mobs that are almost like mini-bosses but not quite.

Common drop rate (0.2%-100%)
Reserved for bosses. For example
Mano: 0.2%
Stumpy: 0.2%
Dyle: 0.3%
Timer: 0.3%
Tae Roon: 0.5%
Male Boss: 1%
Headless Horseman: 2%
Manon/Griffey: 3%
Bigfoot: 8%
Black Crow: 10%
Female Boss: 15%
Papulatus: 8%
Pianus: 8%
The Boss: ?? (someone else estimate this lol)
Zakum: 3x at 50%
Horntail: 5x at 80%


So that's about where drop rates of hunting gach tickets should stand for every mob. It's not a complete list (or I'd be here all day) and numbers could be tweaked, but it's a starting point.

With these drop rates in mind, though, we don't need to have another disappointing "test phase". We can already see what's going to happen. 99% of people probably won't go out of their way to look for hunting tickets at all, and so they'll be farming like crazy in the most popular training spots. Thankfully the hunting tickets will be extremely rare, so all the complaints like "durr mage 2 op 4 faming!" will be thrown out the window.

But perhaps those who like to quest will be the lucky ones who get a few more hunting tickets. Grats! It doesn't look like any of the higher drop rate areas will be farmed anyway. And even if people tried, it wouldn't be very effective, even with the bonus. The whole system still seems balanced, though.
