Bait with Lowest Cool Down & High Attraction

Nessy's Platinum Edition -6 minutes (loot, mission rewards )
Nessy's Golden Reserve -5 minutes (loot, Tradepost, mission rewards )
Devil Driver -3 minutes (loot, assist loot, Misc Shop 9th Floor, mission rewards )


Conclusions

1. whatever setup combination with bait, the lowest cool down is 2 minutes per hunt. you can't get 1.5 minute, 1 minute, 30 seconds or 0 second per hunt.
2. the best mocktail is Devil Driver, second best is Green Goddess (but no cool down) due to their highest attraction.
3. the best bait is always Nessy or Nessy Platinum due to their highest attraction. but sometimes Devil Driver still wins. no idea why.
4. 2 minutes hunt is better than 2.5 minutes hunt (& above) coz you'll encounter more midnight ghosts (by numbers). but 3 minutes hunt is still better than 3.5 minutes hunt (& above).
5. when hunting for midnight ghost, the most important thing is the lowest cool down & high attraction bait. so below 3 minutes hunt with either Devil Driver/Nessy/Nessy Platinum is still better for midnight hunt during that 1 hour.
6. high midnight attraction setting is the best setting for hunting midnight ghosts during non-midnight hours (1 am till 11.59 pm).
7. keep your power hunt if you want to hunt actively during midnight hour.

that's all i can think of! if i've left out anything, please let me know. :)
