That could explain why the NQs would no longer drop the BB items and why the HQs have a decreased chance. That would also mean at least 1 BB item would be dropped with possibilities of multiple drops off KS99. Now that would make my MNK happy! But what are the odds of that really happening?
KS99 already had a chance to drop BB items. This basically gives them a 2nd chance at it.
