Question from Choto

Hoods pals, this is Choto, after having missed his Wen front questions. But it's Bik time now!

1) So Kerapac was very nice for pvm scrubs such as myself, Glacor was quite difficult, and Croesus is definitely amazing. Do you think we'll see more skilling bosses in the future?

2) I've already discussed this with Derp(arnieux), from Clan Quest. I don't have bladed dive and don't plan to get it soon (tm). Do contributions drop a lot for a group when one of them doesn't have BD? Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary if you're aiming to get good loot from the boss?

Thank you, you're the best!
