Ok Yesterday I asked Lisa how to go about doing lifespan tests and today I got done with the first half. I suspect tomorrow I will get done with the second half but heres the first half.

Ok I raised 5 pure pixies,2 of them were from Combining, 1 of them was from the encyclepedia, and the last 2 were from Cd's (Official playstation magazine #33.) I fed them potatos their whole entire life at a regular schedule (I fed them every 4th week until they got chubby then I had to feed them every 2nd and 4th week) All the pixies were born on the 1st week in February. I had no items in my inventory but the food I was feeding them and the only gadget I had out was the great barn and the great house. Heres the results

T1,T3,T5 Had not serious temper
T2 had nice temper
T4 had normal temper

As you can see NOTHING HAPPENED... It doesn't matter if you make a monster by encyclepedia, book, or by combining the lifespan seems to be the same.. now this next series of test should be funner

Any questions or comments?

The 2 combined pixies were both from encyclepedia entries that were untrained.


By GoldenBoy on Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 10:28 am:

Ok then. The only thing I'd add to that, is a test of pixies
combined from trained parents may be in order someday.


By Harrabcat on Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 11:13 am:

Well if you do that make sure you don't have 2 fat parents I combined those monsters just for fun and they had chubby babies (surprised?)


By Harrabcat on Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 09:07 pm:

Ok, I combined T4 and T5 Today and found some interesting results..

T4 and T5 had the bonding lvl of Great friends

These pixies weren't trained at all during thier whole entire life and yet they made a baby with better stats in all areas except defense.

As you can see Nothing happened!!! It doesn't matter if you create a monster by combining, encyclepedia, or by cd, nor does it what time of year you create the monster in. It doesn't even matter what type of food you feed the monster, as long as it stays healthy. Kinda makes you wonder what does matter..

Any questions comments or the likewise?

almost forgot also tried it with 5 pure breed hengers (from encyclopedia)... had a bit of different results though (just fed it mushrooms)... retired them at 4 years and 4 months...will try it again later since i could go home early today from work :D


By Raistlin_Majere on Tuesday, December 23, 2003 - 07:09 pm:

okay just for a bit of info for anonymous and help for harrabcat (it still requires a much more thorough testing). Yesterday, as i was testing my hengers I tried battling a henger once to see if i would have a lifespan loss and rested the others. I didn't had a lifespan loss. All of the hengers were retired on the same week at 4 years and 4 months.

The test I made for the henger was like this. Loaded up the game where the hengers are at 5th stage (when it says that it needs to be retired soon). And entered one of the five hengers i'm testing in a rank E event. After the battle continued resting all of the hengers until they are forced to retire. I ended up with all of them retiring on the same week.

Note: I just tested this once. Will continue to test this again later.
