In order to fill out entries you had to kill a certain number of monsters. Small, common monsters gave 1% per kill (100 kills). Large, rarer monsters gave 3% per kill, and bosses gave 20% per kill. Obviously those numbers would need to be lowered a bit for maple given that even the 'rarest' monsters can be farmed to some extent while the most common come at you in hordes. Bosses at 20 - 25% works perfectly though, as it encourages multiple feats. And of course, party kills would count so hunting in packs would be beneficial. As it is, you DON'T want to be around anyone when hunting cards in fear they will get the card you want.I'd very much love to see it come this way. Also to add onto it, after a certain amount of kills, then it drops the card(that only you can see), if you don't loot it in time, your kill count for it resets(to avoid leeching the kills for completion).
The JMS monster book looks less appealing after seeing it's so easy to complete the majority of it. s:
