4th Unlockd a subspecies, its a golden Scorpion, Called Scolopendrid. It is a WAR/BLM and has same TP moves as normal one

Is there some kind of consolidation of the monster instincts? From what little I've read some are rather good. Good enough where it's worth lvling up jobs just to get them instead of maxing 1 out first

[Blackelement]

Wasn't confirmed and removed from JP wiki so it's likely to be false.

Monsters definitely receive MP merits, so it's likely they also get HP/STR/DEX etc

Well, other pages have it at 60 Damselfly, im working on that currently, will update you when i get there weather or not it is unlocked via that :D

[Tumna]

got Chigoe to 10 seems to be a THF/THF has low hp but very fast atk

[Fwahm]

Now that I think about it, it looks like Monstrosity is taking a lot of the unimplemented Pankration content and refitting it for player use. I remember seeing Wild Gensing and maybe some of the other abilities in the Pankration dats years ago.

More likely it's just using the full pool of mob TP moves. Wild Ginseng is used by https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Bearclaw_Rabbit

Don't know for a consolidation of them, but 4 i would recommend are Rabbit I (HP+2%, AGI+5, Atk. +10, Cost:2), Mandragora I (DEX+5, Acc. +10, Haste +1%, Cost: 2), Sabotender I (Water +30, Atk. +15, Store TP+3, Cost:4) and Raptor I (HP +1%, Atk. +5, Haste +3%, Cost:2), totals 10 points to equip, amazing level 1 set with 40 Atk., 10 Acc., 4% Haste and a little HP/STP/resists.

Which pages precisely? Not that I'm doubting other pages list it, but it was under Lv60 Damsefly on the JP wiki but that's been removed now.

Have Gilfinder? Easy way to see if you're THF lol, you'd have Evasion Bonus at 10 too

[Tumna]

yea got gilfinder and eva bonus only why I said I think its a THF/THF gonna lvl it to 30 just to see if I get anything and to get the ins for it. Also the normal scorpion was a WAR/WAR
kinda sucks tho it has no tp moves lol

Same one i posted earlier that got the Panopt, although im not sure how accurate it is, i really want the gnat, so im taking fly up to see anyway

[Rocl]

Ah, all right, was hoping for a different monstrosity page since I've already been reading/posting in that one too! It's likely the conclusions were drawn from jp wiki as well, which again, has since removed gnat. I'd love to be wrong tho

[fantasticdan]

JPwiki had it under bee 60 until it was taken down.

[Sehrahin]

The normal Sabotender is WAR/WAR, wasn't listed on bgwiki.

Yea, i'll find out tomorrow probably, hered hoping it is 60 fly.. or we at least find the real method before that :D

[NynJa]

Rabbit Instinct II is offered at lv60 and gives HP+3% DEX+5 Eva+15 at a cost of 4, since I dont think its been mentioned.

[Hashmalum]

Pygmy morbol is WAR/WAR, I think the normal morbol was too. It gets Impale (100 TP) at level 1, Vampiric Lash (100 TP) at level 10, Sweet Breath (150 TP) at level 20, and Bad Breath (200 TP) at level 30. I plan on taking it to 99, but only at 38 so far. Vampiric Lash is absolutely terrible BTW and is not even remotely worth considering using.

[Rocl]

Just in case you didn't think it was possible: it is possible for Relinquish to get paralyzed and reset the timer to 3 minutes -__-

Was hoping it'd function like 1hrs

[Vanderleest]

JP Wiki has Tigers III (level 90) as haste 3% movement speed +8% agi +5. 8% seems too small to matter when you're looking at 50% and 150% on mobs already.

[Sehrahin]

The XP grind is getting rough 75+ with almost 20k tnl now.. I was hoping instinct III wasn't at 90 :/
