Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[dasva]

Man scorpion is a beast. Went to qufim at 24 chain 11 to lvl 26 walked around a bit and now on chain 13 lol

[Squah]

Did that with raptor at the pond, killed everything too quick and nothibg respawned so chain died at 12

[dasva]

Yeah fun times basically got from 24 to 32 in about 40 minutes

[Squah]

On that note, where are people leveling from 30-35ish? I usually do Sauromugue on evil weapons, and Beauc wasn't too bad as raptor with the zoomzoom, but it'll probably be terrible with normal movespeed.

[dasva]

I just go to garlaige. It's a little tough till you get to like 32 though. And getting to a good spot requires luck on where it teles you or sneak/invis

[Squah]

That's where I took beetle. Kills slow as fuck but takes like no damage lol.

Can't wait to get level 50. Phalanx, spikes, haste, dia, and fuckin rhinowrecker dawg. Its still conal for the MON version right

[Vriska]

Lizards confuse me, Baleful Gaze isn't earth element and now Infrasonics isn't ice.

Everything I know is a lieeeeee

Looking at my earlier DA/TA test, it appears that I forgot to limit myself to only recording my own character. Thus, I probably had a higher DA/TA rate than I expected. The TA value of THF Instinct is likely correct and I would be unsurprised to learn that Tier 1 merits do matter.

It gets better before that. And yes rhinowrecker is conal though generally I find it better to fight mobs one on one unless they super weak like pots or just EM. Also don't forget enspell2! Shit adds up

Why do you say that? The debuffs that regular mobs and pets do and even blus for petrify amd for that matter pank all point to those elements. If you mean the element shown on screen the element of a move and the element of the debuff it applies aren't always the same... see bk u spells

...Oh yeah, monsters can only single-wield. Enspells 2 confirmed for having an actual use. I guess Satan's skiing to work today.

I mean in the menu. They probably are internally. I was just having a joke to break the boredom of levelling Bugard to 60.

[Dominico]

So... anyone try out frog or meeble? Pretty sure an item to unlock each was mentioned as a cheap prize from Login campaign 2.

[Squah]

Pretty sure those are just costumes to run in town with

Edit: and rdm 49 so no enspell II

[Khiinroye]

The room at I-7 on the top floor of fei'yin is really good from36/37-41/42 ish. Lots of single bats, several pots, 2 golems and one triple bat, and best of all, no ghosts. The biggest threat to your chain is pots hitting you with bind or gravity, but that only happened to me once in several monsters through there.

Scorpion is a right joy after the slog of Beetle.

Data entry is a bitch.

Added a set-building sheet with full drop-down lists for totaling values quickly and seeing total point value and efficiency.

By the way the whole thing is future-proofed for more instincts, just have to add them to the Values sheet and it will update all lists and efficiency benchmarks and whatnot. Could stand to break up the list into family chunks too; I do expect to break 300 instincts eventually but expanding the range by an order of magnitude wouldn't be too annoying.

Adamantoise; PLD/PLD

Lv01. Head Butt (Damage, knockback, accuracy down) - 100TP
Lv10. Tortoise Stomp (Damage, defense down) - 100TP
Lv20. Harden Shell (25% Defense Boost for 1 minute) - 100TP
Lv30. Tortoise Song (Removes all beneficial songs & phantom roll effects from targets) - 150TP

[dasva]

Seems like they gimp alot of the monsters moves. Not even just compared to what the monster itself does but even compared to what the blu or bst jug versions are

[Vriska]

Calcifying Mist is beautiful as hell, still, and that makes me happy.

[Yeager]

Qufim Island is tons of fun! I've got a Chain 17 screenshot and I believe a Chain 23 screenshot that I took. I'll post 'em later.

[Shenrien]

Anyone have a decent spot to level for 60+? I've been riding out the demons in Zvhal Baileys but it's so terrible as a raptor. My last experience in Toriamarai Canal wasn't exactly the most pleasant either.
