Currently, the nighttime drop rate increase counts toward a 300% item drop rate. This means that if you were grinding at 300% drop cap during the day, you aren't gaining any drop chance increase. To encourage high risk, moderate reward, the nighttime should be a separate 10% increase, same as Arsha and Blessing of the Earth - this will allow current 300% drop cap to benefit as 300% + 10% night + etc (arsha, territory, blessing)
Btf, i dont really care about 40min more drop rate once upon a time.
Especially when its 3,33% bonus.
10% item drop rate is like spitting in players face right now.
Current end game spots difference between day and night is too big. It should be like 100% bonus
BDO content often is designed like this. 10% boost to rewards, 2x+ increase in difficulty. As another elvia of this, Elvia Orze has about 2x rewards compared to Normal Orze (for first clear). However in practice, difficulty is 10x (boss is much tankier and deals much more damage, more party wipe mechanics etc.). People keep playing this kind of content though, so PA keeps making it.
