Yea It feels halved although I think I have figured what has happened. I noticed that even my Gift box count went down substantially and that is when I figured it. 2 Blazers and 2 cubics aren't working like they were. Meaning even with 2 blazers you still have a single 6% drop rate as opposed to two 6% drop rates. Same with Gift boxes - I got almost half of what I used to get on pre 20th sept maintainence runs.

In short, having 2 blazers or 2 cubics atm is redundant.

oooh~ Well then lets hope they fix it. I need my scarlet dyes~

Yeah, 2x blazers aren't stacking anymore. I tried it myself.

After more checking, well I guess 1 blazer is really working normal. 400-800k a trip in poison spore.

Yeah this is what happened because I can definitely feel it on the cubics.

It can also be safe to say that all cards that enable stuff to drop from monsters are not stackable anymore.

Like that Box of Sunlight card
or box of painting (or something like that lol)

What I wonder is, will this be fixed back to having two separate chances that in 6% you will get food?

Because if not, Ima use a hell poodle ring instead lol.

weird thought but if the cards never actually stacked in the first place why did the second one stop working?

They didnt stack - they gave you 2 chances of getting the item. I have got 2 food items from 1 monster a lot of times to act as proof to this fact and I have got 2 gift boxes once as well. Its mostly as if you are killing 2 monsters when it comes to getting special drops. That is down to 1 chance now even if you use 2 cards. I havent found 2 food items from 1 monster ever since. Perhaps I didnt test it enough. At this moment its only a hypothesis on what the problem can be since Fidelis said the rates are still the same.

I often used either 2 mimics or 2 Blazers XD - Never was concerned about the net z/value. When I needed +10 stat foods I went blazers - when I wanted to try and get a slotted necklace I went with mimic and OBBs lol.

Well whatever is going to be the permanent change needs to be announced so I can decide what to do gear wise... i.e. sell off one of my blazers.

Alright, so it's currently like this:

The source code was a little bit buggy to begin with. You were NOT supposed to be able to use two Blazer clips at the same time, but due to a small coding mistake, it worked, but as I said, looking at the source code, it was NOT intentional. So it's now like it's supposed to be: if you equip two items that give additional item drops (the SAME item drops), only the higher rate will be applied, i.e. if one item grants a 10% chance to drop a food item, and another item grants a 20% chance to drop a food item, only the 20% will work. It does not stack, and they do not work separately (as it was previously).
However, if you equip two items, and both of them add a DIFFERENT additional drop, like one item gives 10% food and the other one gives 20% gift boxes, both items WILL work.

As you could call it an official bug fix, I'm kinda opposed to change it back to the way it was before... I mean the people who use it as a way to make money could always use one blazer and one mimic or any other accessory card that grants additional item drops, although the profit will be a bit less, since food items are, for some reason, ridiculously expensive compared to other items... will have to discuss this with the whole staff, though.
