I think a possible solution is to eliminate the bloody branch as a drop (don't worry, don't worry haha) and leave it as a mission item, either daily or weekly, in the style of the bounty boards we have in Eden or in the Main Office. Adding BSB earnings to the same missions. Giving more play to more varied content, be it instances, dungeons, mob hunting or even raising to the maximum level, among other options that may occur. I add that additional options to obtain BSB are also added because I consider it a mistake to have to go to an NPC that sells them to you because either no one sells them or those who sell give it a price equal to that of an NPC (8.5m).
It is too late for this server to remove bloody branch as a drop from monster. This server already running for 3 years.
Did you ever think how many million bloody branch dropped and how many thousand mvp card dropped? And actually this bloody branch drop from grote is the same like official server you could check it from official database.
By the time they accept / implement your suggestion, it will be a disaster like mvp card price skyrocket until 10 times or more compared to current price because of due to limited stock bloody branch (like your suggestion to make it as mission / daily / weekly) and of course bloody branch will be overpriced as well.
Also it will be unfair for new player later that want to farm mvp card but it doesn’t the same like in the past anymore.
That is not all, did you think about those farmer that have maximized build to farm in those map? they probably spent 5-10 billions or more than 10 billions to achieve that. Of course these guys will complain because they already invested a lot time and money to get those gear.
As for blacksmith blessing i don't really agree when you said this is a "mistake" to sell it in NPC. Because i played in other server and they don't have standard price for this item.
So what do you think happened in that server? Yes, overpriced blacksmith blessing until 15-30m. Does something like this good for the community? of course not, people need to grinding really hard just for BSB because the price are too high. Do you think old player community like ragnarok still have time to grind that long just for BSB? And imagine you need 14 BSBs to use hammer 1 time.
With this standardized price from NPC no one can sell overpriced BSB like in those other servers.

The real solution is having more content worth farming that newbies can take part in.
Better to have more places people can farm than nerfing/reworking existing farming locations people are comfortable with.
I agree with conga suggestion here more than yours.
