New way to battle with Notorius Monster, and possible new way to earn Magian/Emp weap

[Sonshou]

This is a new way to battle the lottery spawn Notorius Monster, but the way is not exactly new. How to do it?

Step 1: Obtain a pop... um... a Con Item. Since this item doesn't pop the NM, so it cannot be called a pop item. Why is it called Con item? read on and you will know. Con item, like pop items for force spawn NM, drop from monster of the same type within the area. It has a bad drop rate like pop items for force spawn NM, but you will think it is worth while.

Step 2: Wait for the Notorius Monster to spawn. You still have to wait for the 1 hour or 90 min windows after death. and you still have to wait for 10 hours if you're unlucky. No matter what, wait. And kill the place holder as you wait. You can farm Con item while wait.

Step 3: Use the Con item on the Notorius Monster. You can use the Con item to claim, or you can use it after you claim it. But be warned, the Con item only works when the Monster is 100% HP. If you claim the NM with Dia or Jump, you gonna lose your Con item, and then fight the NM in the old way, and not eligible to earn the possible reward. Good news is, the Con item has same range as Provoke, and a short using time like a coffer key. Even you're on a job/subjob combination that doesn't have provoke, you still can claim the NM as good as a warrior.

Step 4: Confrontation Battle. That is why it is called Con Item! Once the Con item is active, your party member will be brought to a confrontation battle. a maximum of 6 members can join the battle, you will receive level restriction according to the NM. e.g. Valkurm Emperor will restrict your level to Lv15. Keeper of Halidom will restrict your level to lv40. More importantly, normal monster around the area can link or aggro when your level is restricted.
There is destinated combat area for this Confrontation Battle, that SE will not tell you where the boundary is. If you pull the NM out of the hidden boundary, the Confrontation ends, and you lose your possible reward.

Step 5: Defeat the NM to win the confrontation battle. After defeating the NM with all the stress from links/aggro. It is time for reward.
First off, the chance of drop unique treasure from the NM will raise by 60%
If the NM has 100% chance to drop 1 item out of 2 possiblities.... eg. Mee Deggi the Punisher, then there is chance to drop both items. The fact is.... there is 60% of chance another Ochimusha Kote will drop, and the other item follow the old rule. so it is possible to drop 2 Ochimusha Kote from Mee Deggi the Punisher, if you fight him in Confrontation Battle.
IF the NM is required by Magian Trial..... You receive TRIPLE COUNT on the NM. Thats right! TRIPLE COUNT! It is to be worth while to kill the NM with level restriction. It is a mess, and all the possible link and aggros. Wow. And be glad you dun have to wait for 20 more hours for 2 more kill! (But you might be very lucky that it repop in 1 hour after you kill it, and that you have less luck fighting it with level cap than waitng NM repop on time).

How is that? fight the Magian required Notorius Monster with level restriction, and nearly die/ already died from links and aggros but reraised, to earn a short cut to Magian Trial/ Emp Weapon. You gotta love it.

It's an interesting way to go about new NMs I suppose, so long as older ones don't start getting the HNM treatment of revamps. I'm not a THF for my insane dps, and I still have current NMs to conquer for my career kill list. If that aspect of THF gets "nerfed" by a new NM system to further appeal to everyone and not just specific players, I really do have zero reason to play THF when DNC is doing it better. My THF has always been a farmer first and foremost. And looking at my own data(that I'm now retired from doing aside from keeping up with drop rate data with a now rare appearance in sky)all low level targets that I might farm for any variety of reasons would be better dealt with dnc/thf and TH2, assuming the level cap didn't totally kill solo ability. So I'll leave it at that.

Sounds great for a new NM system imo. I rather they start working on giving us new ones than revamping old ones, aside from improving their respawn timers. Personally I've always felt there shouldn't be a cool down timer for lottery which I think it's pretty well documented by now that there is cool down timers in place.

Now, if you're talking like, a system specifically for trial folk and it won't have any impact on other folk, then sure. How could I or anyone legitimately be against the idea if not trolling.

If it were limited to some new hnm/nm and nm that have no use other than magian trails, then yes, this I think would be an excelent idea because it offers a challenge and a reward, as well as the oppurtunity to not level sync at all. Would be great for old nm too like emperor, etc.
