Cassandra's Secret Trade Is Unfair

Ok so after you turn in 5 feathers to Cassandra you get the option to trade in feathers for Blade scrolls. The prices are as followed: 100% Scroll for Blade for attack ~ 10 Owl Feathers 60% Scroll for Blade for Attack ~ 75 Owl Feathers 10% Scroll for Blade for Attack ~ 100 Owl Feathers With this said the only way as of right now to get the owl feathers to trade in for the scrolls is through sealed boxes which drop from monsters. These sealed boxes in my own experience drop less often as explorers boxes. For every 5-6 explorer boxes I got 1 sealed box. Now once you open the boxes you have a chance at getting 1 feather (Not confirmed if you can multiple feathers from one box). It took me about 1 hour just to get the 5 feathers I needed to finish the quest, and I opened a good 25-30 sealed boxes to find 6 feathers. Now 1 hour for 6 feathers seems very tedious if you're looking to get just one 60% blade scroll which costs 75 feathers. It just seems like to me Nexon should either 1) Raise the drop rate of boxes/the chance of getting 1+ feathers from each box or 2) Lower the price of the scrolls to a realistic number of feathers. I've now had a few people pm me saying they have obtained a 60% scroll for blade from the sealed boxes and I personally have found 3 100% from about 30ish boxes and one person has said they found a 10% from a box. Have yet to hear about a 30/70% from boxes though.

Wait, so 10%s are worth more than 60%s or what? O.O

Wait when people say you can "use" the feathers, does that mean you double click the feather and obtain something? o_o or are the feathers only meant to be traded in for scrolls
