About that turtle...

It seems as though with the rise in the Monk job, it would be appropriate to present the idea to the development staff in even more ways to acquire the necessary items for the black belt quest.

Perhaps they could take existing Notorious Monsters that aren't camped anymore and add a blackbelt item to their agenda.

For example, Vrtra. No one even thinks about this wyrm anymore, but I bet people would if a Wyrm beard was among the drop pool. =)

That'd be more of a taunt than anything else, lol. Even at today's standards, I don't see the majority of the player base being able to defeat Vrtra.

That being said, I think this is a wonderful idea, as it would provide me many lulz.

I agree with this. Or even, what's the difference between an Adamantoise Egg and a Chukwa's Egg? How is the NPC really supposed to know the difference? :P

There could be a lot of ways to make black belt more accessible to the ever growing monk population, yet still a challenge to obtain. Or at least reduce the timer on these NMs so they are spawning more than once an Earth day.
