    1. Add more bats; Many, many more bats.

    2. I know this is already an issue, but a prowess obtained after EVERY page. Getting 1 prowess every 5 pages is NOT worth my time...

    3. If you aren't gonna increase casket drop rates at all, at least change the system to allow anyone other than THF a better chance at opening the brown caskets. Hint: second digit is 4, 5, or 6. Hint: number is between 40 and 69. WTF really? Guess I lost this chest...

    Thank you.

    I think prowess must be random...I did 2 pages the otehr day and had two prowess. That was all I did that morning though, turned out to be a waste of time because there were simply too many people doing them and had to run all over the place to find mobs. It's bad enough you have to run so far from the book, but then not being able to find anything when you get there....was better off soloing in abyssea for skillups.

    what i hate is getting the same hint twice.

    yesterday i got the hint "the first number is odd"
    then a second time i got "the first number is odd"

    i know the wording might be different but i have seen this happen up to 3 times getting the same hint on the same chest, this was when it was 1st introduced, it also happens with GoV caskets and it is really annoying.

    on Cerberus 90% of time there is no point in doing pages, imo the right should have been part of something else or multiple zones, everyone wants it and to put it in such a small zone with so little mobs is stoopid. either increas the amount of mobs or move the ring to another zone, also sort the prowess powers

    I don't see why people want the ring so much. Does no one realize by now that you almost certainly will NEVER even notice the difference in skillup rates between having the ring and not having it? All that time spent pointlessly farming caskets in hopes of a ring, you could be spending getting just about the same exact skillup rate you'd have with the ring.

    Edit: Also, to the original poster: you must have some crazy bad luck. 1 prowess out of 5 pages? I think in all the pages I've done (a lot), I've only not gotten a prowess 2-3 times. And never twice in a row. Hell, more than once when I mentioned to people I teamed up with that I didn't get a prowess from the page we did, they've said "Huh? It's possible to not get a prowess? I thought it was 100%..."

    I went at least 5 pages in a row without getting a prowess when trying to get that silly ring. I eventually got fed up because I had almost everything at level 4 or 5 except treasure casket discovery, which was at 1.

    Thank you.
    Being THF has no impact or effect on opening caskets, its a logic puzzle. Some times the clues help others they dont and you just pick a number.

    you can use a thief tool on a casket, not that I ever do because it's generally not worth it. thought it gave an extra clue, but not sure.
