New way to earn RSB
@hpwulola @HPWUrobert @HPWUTeam
With the addition of the dueling system, it is even more essential that a way to earn Restricted Section Books, outside of event, be added. This is especially prevalent when you consider the cost of mastering Professor.
Since Professors don't benefit from their skills during the duels, they are at a very high disadvantage. Aurors and Magizoologists have much better passive skills that mean that they both deal higher damage than Professors. Magizoologists also have higher defenses, thus making it so they can deal more damage and take more hits than Professors.
Aurors deal slightly less damage than Magizoologists, but their chance to perform critical hits means that they will be dealing the most damage. They take more damage than Professors, but the damage output more than makes up for that.
So, if someone chooses to be a Professor, because they enjoy using the class in challenges, now they will be at a massive disadvantage for what will be a major aspect of the game, due to needing so many DADA books. If you want to continue to play as a Professor in challenges, you will have to master at least two professions, including the base lesson plan and the new combat lesson plan. Either that or you better be prepared to need to use substantially more potions in order to not have to change professions, in order to complete duels.
Professors already have to spend almost double the amount of RSB, in order to max their profession. Now, they have to spend more to max a second profession, as well as finish their S.O.S. skill tree. We need a way to earn the additional RSB required, otherwise Professors are going to die out, since the requirements are far too high, compared to other professions.
Now... if you look at the achievements, there will be at least 3 lesson plans and 400 lessons per profession. Subsequent lesson plans are likely to cost even more resources. Since Professors are being forced to master multiple professions, so that they can be proficient on the map for Oddities and dueling, so they are going to be very deficient in their number of RSB.
An Auror can choose to be only an Auror, complete their lesson plan, the entire S.O.S. tree, their second lesson plan, and still have RSB to spare for future lesson plans. This is not fair to Professors, since there are not even enough books available for them to complete their first lesson plan and the S.O.S. tree, let alone being forced into a second mastery.
Something has to be done, before you lose even more players, due to the imbalance in Profession utility, the imbalance in RSB costs, and the inability to gain RSBs outside of events.

As an Auror, I disagree with having extra RSB.
Looking at the new lesson plans recently added, my concern is how (can only speak as an Auror since I do not know what the book cost is for other professions) can it ever be possible in my lifetime to acquire 1,050 DADA books at current rate they’re being doled out??
@WitchHiker With the new dueling system, you will be able to earn DADA books through duels and placing Adversary images. RSB will be the only resource still completely restricted to events only. Professors use twice as many RSB to master their profession, so they can't complete the S.O.S. tree any time soon, like an Auror will be able to, in the near future. Unless the 3rd lesson plans charge Professors half the RSBs as the other two professions, professors are left paying the highest limited material costs to master what is well known to be the weakest class.
