Free Second Chance Chest Benefit Improvement

Hello.

I wanted to talk a little bit about the current member benefit running which is Free Second Chance Chest. The way it works is any boss that has a second chance chest that usually costs 50-75 crowns on the first open and then increases for every opening after that is now free for the first chest and then begins the 50-75 crowns increments.

However, this member benefit feels very lackluster compared to the other ones because it is only useful once per day per boss. I feel like it would be a much more useful benefit if the chests for those bosses reset every single run instead of every day. That way, the member benefit would essentially be free extra drop each time you defeat the boss, which feels very similar to double reagents in a way, except it works only on bosses that have chests.

A precedent has also been set for this with Pirate101 because in that game, your chests already reset back to the original crowns cost with each run that you do rather than the 24 hour reset. This change would make the member benefit feel more in line with the other benefits, where something is typically doubled.

For example:

The Monstrology benefit doubles the animus gained EVERY time you extract animus.

The Gardening benefit doubles the rewards from seeds EVERY time you harvest seeds

The Pet XP benefit doubles the XP gained on a pet every time you train a pet

The crafting benefit not only removes the cooldown on crafting, but doubles the reagents obtained EVERY time you obtain a regular reagent through a fight.

The Double scroll points benefit doubles points on the scroll EVERY time you gain a point.

The fishing benefit straight up gives you unlimited energy to fish as long as you want.

The training point buyback benefits allows you to respect all of your training points on any character free for an unlimited amount of times during the benefit.

However, the second chance chest benefit simply does not provide enough benefits when compared to the others when farming is such a big part of the game. If you want to double your chances of getting a piece of gear from a specific boss, you are only allowed to do it once every 24 hours.

It would be nice to see the second chance chests in general changed so that the chests reset in crowns price after every run just like how it works in Pirate101, or at the very least, stays free for the first opening per run while this benefit is running rather than once per boss per 24 hours.
