Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[Sehrahin]

Remember what mob it was? Could just be peircing bonus

It was a damselfly, but pretty sure they didn't always take extra damage.

Quick question, do I need to level up multiple classes in order to unlock additional classes, or can I just leveling up the one I'm on to unlock stuff later? Currently 33 and I've only unlocked raptor, I think.

[Byrthnoth]

Yes. Lizards unlock lizard types, Beasts unlock beast types, etc.

[Karbuncle]

Each one seems to unlock something else around level 30. So you'd have to level up other monsters.

Karb, you almost 60 yet? Very curious if we get a new instinct then.

Also, is there any way to use the .dats to read the chat logs to see things like what else we can get from the NPCs?

Where did you level from 53+? Have been jumping around quite a bit to find EM/T to quick chain.

I'd stick to T~IT once you hit level 40 ish i think... as at level 40-50 or so DC and VT hit about the same and have the same def to our monsters lol... I usually stick to where i can find a good supply of VT~IT.

use this, and look for enemies about 3 Levels higher than you:

Personally at 53 I think i was in Crawler's nest on Rumble/Wespes which were right in the T~VT Range, around level 55 I jumped to Bostain and killed Werebats/Hounds. Bats becoming DC Range at level 57...

Cactuar learns 4k Needles at 40, cost 250 TP.

[dasva]

I bet at least some of the 2nd list is from the items from log in campaign

[stamos]

Sheep learns sheep bleat at lvl 40. 50 tp.

[Hashmalum]

I would imagine black beetle, black antlion and pachypodium are from log-in

Couldn't find any list of actual monster species, so it's just based off of text atm

More like Gravitic Horn Antlion, Pachypodium (Chloris) and Horned Beetle MAYBE I HOPE

Chloris is an Adenium. The Pachypodiums are the little black mandragoras with the yellow flower and the penchant for obnoxious status attacks.

Has anyone unlocked the ability to purchase anything other than pygmy morbol?

[Karbuncle]

Unlocked Bee Instinct II at level 60, Gives HP+2% MP+50 INT+5.

As much as I'd like to continue on Bee, Kinda wanna try new things.

[Vanderleest]

60 Tiger gains skill Predatory Glare, 150 TP, fan-shaped stun that lasts about a second with no dmg.
Tiger Instinct II: Dex+10 Resist stun+15 Haste+2% cost 6

[Karbuncle]

Did you by chance unlock Byakko skin ? if not, keep going until you do damnit!

Though its probably NM related

[stamos]

Saw someone with byakko skin in CN. Killing Rumble Crawlers

[Karbuncle]

Cure IV did the same on my RDM bee (About 790 HP)... Also, Who did you get the quest from, Guy on the far right?

Also... /THF, nice.

[Karbuncle]

That's a shame, he hasn't given me the time of day since i answered his quiz questions.

[Rocl]

Try talking to him on every species you have; he only gives me dialogue about beetle souls if I'm a Beetle
