    Krexel Card+60% Item/Meso drop rateEntrance to Spooky World/Spooky World
    That means when you exit krex, the buff goes:

    (I was excited to use Krex card to help out with my HP quest and noticed it's not there >:()

    Can it be changed to buffing area around ulu/petris/duku? Now I do suggest a nerf since that is a high profit area, so drop rate to be nerfed to around 15% instead of 60%.

    Its not even as abusable as you may think. Lets say a mage wants to use this card buff to get extra drops, they need to sit through an entire krex run, and hope that one drops as its not guarenteed. They'd be wasting time that could've gone for farming these mobs, for a chance for a higher droprate on those same mobs, and only for 15mins~30mins? (can't remember exactly for how long). Even if they afk all that time, the benefits are not crazy enough to warrent such a steep nerf.
    It can be kept 60% or nerfed to idk, 45%? 15% is just too low. Or maybe nerf the duration a bit instead of a droprate nerf.
    I think the duration of the buff is not long enough to abuse the card by killing the boss a second time with the effect on (not that krex has a rare drop that needs this droprate boost except 5k nx), so the only way to use it is go and grind on the mobs in the area after killing krex, which will probably only be used by attackers for either HP quest, or just have fun grinding time, and less popular for mage farmers.

    On the same topic, I think the shaolin boss fight deserves the same card fix. You can only fight him once per day, so having the card give droprate buff on a not very popular grinding map will be a nice addition [and another fun way to speed up the hp questing in that area]

    You can always just let the HS take the card (and ring), then go 30min at ulu2 (I got friends that just ulu2, not even leeching, for drops for profit). I dunno how OP the drops would be though. Drop event + 60% drop (+maybe taunt mule)

    i think the droprate only apply to the character who kills the mob with the buff active on them. So you'll need to kill the mobs with your HS, so the HS needs to be a strong bishop, but bishops would be better off grinding/selling leech in skeles instead.
    Edit: wait, people use taunt mules? o-o
