Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[Idkmybffjill]

Panopt/sapling/rafl/cactaur are all pretty decent. Goobbue is decent till you have to single target kill your way through xarc. morbol, funguar and mandy45+ are playable. Flytrap is dismal though, and only panopt/cactaur/(maybe raffl) are strong enough that people would look at them and say "Dayum, I wanna be a plant now".

Assuming sibilus is some type of caster, it will be incredibly strong in pvp due to calcifying mist. Other lizards are pretty crappy. I especially don't understand why ALL of the raptor skins are war/war. Or why we needed so many blm/war types. You could maybe make the blm/war bugard work with the movespeed bonus, but the lizard/eft/wivre? No.

Lol just watch people discussing how they need to stun lock you

I have Cactuar at 80 which is pretty nice but their high TP costs are annoying, even for Needleshot is just 10 TP less than 1k needles. It's very strong though with WAR/RDM.

Rafflesia is only at 30 but very impressed by their TP moves available and the WAR/DRK combo is just nuts for their damage.

[fantasticdan]

Only thing drk adds to melee damage 10-30 is +10 atk lol, if your damage is 'nuts' it's not because of that.

Well ideally I'll be stunning/sleeping/whatevering them first, than hitting them with calcifying mist from outside of casting range!

[Sehrahin]

It's pretty nutty at the 20s range haha, combined with the def down from their TP move things was just butter.

at best I expect WAR/DRK but it'll probably be WAR/WAR again because SE hates lizards apparently

Has anyone found if chigoe unlocks anything yet, or even gets a tp move at all?

[Trumpy]

I am going to remain hopeful we can unlock behemoths and such now but i got a creepy feeling we will need to hit that NM rank 10001 infamy first (which we cant get yet). though we did get some other NM skins so far, behemoth admantoise and faffy are unique models and not just reskins of regular mobs like the NMs we got so far (yea i know there are regular admantoise out now but i mean when they were added and up til recently). Was there a mantis in the dats for monstrosity?

[Blackelement]

Anyone with Antlion unlocked able to check how many spirits it needs for the skin? since login campaign is out now and we can get the 3 spirit types (still waiting on seeds to find out the 3rd) im hoping all 3 are 25 total, but god knows with SE lol

[dasva]

Seeds work. I got 3 spirits and 3 seeds back last harvest

[Byrthnoth]

Anyone have a DRK mob high enough to case Dread Spikes? Could be pretty broken if unnerfed for monsters.

[Ambiant]

May wanna say what seeds you planted, what spirits you got and what seeds you got back ...

[dasva]

There is only 1 thing to plant that gets you spirits and it only gets you 1 type spirit and I got those same seeds back. I was just affirming that they indeed do work as suspected just like the other 2 log in campaign items

you can ... cure other monsters as byakko ..... dont tell your friends.

Just found out that while players as WHM (i'd guess RDM too) can't cure a monster, DNC's waltz does cure a monster. Not very efficient to have a DNC power level, but works well if you're in an area such as Gar

[Vanderleest]

While not efficient, DNC's waltz also cure mobs. Sounds like a bug since white magic does not work.

What has been everyone's path in terms of getting EXP and what areas were used?

I've been leveling all species 1-30 by doing W. Ron from 1-8, La Thiene from 8-14, Valkurm Dunes 14-21, Qufim Island 21-30

After I'm done with everything 1-30 I'm not sure where to go for 30+, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Lv 60 Lycopodium gets Demonic Flower: Deals magic damage. Effect varies with HP and inflicts the caster with Weakness. 100 tp to use.
It dealt about 1087 damage to a T arcana while at full hp (10015). Weakness lasts one minute. Using it at lower hp does less damage. Seems fairly worthless due to the weakness.

Mandragora Instinct II is MND+5 Attack +10 Defense +10 Double Attack +1%, set cost 4.

Suibhne asks for 25 pachypodium spirits as lv 60 mandragora (base only). It unlocks Pachypodium, which is mnk/mnk, with the same stats as the mandragora. It also has:
Petal Pirouette, which reduces the tp of enemies around the caster. TP cost 130%.

Disappointing use of 450k bayld to speed it up the spirit acquisition process.

did you miss-type that? i just checked as 30 Mandragora (Korrigan too) and he does not ask for the spirits
