    Monster Jobs - Bestiary

    Ive been working on the bestiary and ive been filling in most of the data as i remember it off the top of my head however... i dont quite know all the jobs of the monsters and i figure heres the best place to ask.

    From what i know, theres 2 ways to know what job a monster is:

    1. Pankration
    2. Observing characteristics it uses.

    Now the beastmen are obvious... but the more feral monsters like pugils/orobons etc are gonna be a pain - can someone throw up a list of something?

    Although normal mobs technically have jobs, we should only be worried about jobs for the beastmen types. Generally all mobs of a family have the save job with certain NMs being exceptions. If we decide to put the jobs in later, we could always put it in the family category.

    only reason i decided to keep the jobs category was the fact that by knowing the monsters jobs, you could then know what could be aspir'd and what not.

    Anyways, i'll be adding what links since thats more important

    You could add a section to each monster page indicating whether it's aspirable or not.

    What I'd really like to see on the monster pages, however, is a map with a circle (large or small) showing where to find each monster. I don't mean track every spawn, but just give an idea of where they can be found.

    I can find the number of spawns from somepage, but so far nowhere tells me where anything is. If I'm levelling a lowbie job and want to seek out new places to level, I look up mobs in the level range I want, find out that there's a decent number of X level xp-friendly mobs in some place I never knew they existed, but I have no clue where they are.
