Ok I have now completed the Phoenix lifespan tests. Here you go.

T1-T5 all born on 6/1, 2 phoenices from combining (one of those combinations was from 2 cd phoenices and another was from 2 encyclepedia phoenices), 1 Phoenix from encyclepedia, and 2 phoenices from cd. The phoenices were all had the High Pride Temper.For the Cd I used the poisen Cd (mr2 monster subcodes in the lab) Stats on that Cd are as follows:

Lif	Pow	Int	Acc	Spd	Def
150	160	190	120	150	120

Ok heres the phoenix's and i put the pixies T6-T10 for comparative purposes

Race	Name	Made by	Fed	Birthdate	Stage2	Stage3	Stage4	Stage5	Death
Phoenix	T1	Combo	Potato	6/1	8mo1wk	1yr6mo3wk	2yr5mo2wk	3yr1mo2wk	3yr4mo0wk

Phoenix	T3	Encyc	Potato	6/1	8mo1wk	1yr6mo3wk	2yr5mo2wk	3yr1mo2wk	3yr4mo0wk

Pixie	T10	Cd	Pork	8/1	10mo1wk	1yr11mo2wk	3yr0mo3wk	3yr10mo3wk	4yr2mo0wk

As you can (or cannot) see the phoenices lived much less then the pixies. I'll get to doing more analysis a little later. I also fixed the data for the pixies in this post and the phoenices data is right I swear :)

Any Questions, comments, or the likewise?

Ok Heres some analysis of this data.

First off the phoenix lived 160 weeks and the pixie lived 200 weeks. Lifespan layout like this

Weeks to reach	2nd stage	3rd stage	4th stage	5th stage	Death
Phoenix	33	75	118	150	160
Pixie	41	94	147	187	200

Ok Heres how long each stage was (in weeks)

Breed	1st stage	2nd stage	3rd stage	4th stage	5th stage
Phoenix	33	42	43	32	10
Pixie	41	53	53	40	13

Heres how much of the Phoenix/Pixies lifespan was in each stage (in percent)

Breed	1st stage	2nd stage	3rd stage	4th stage	5th stage
Phoenix	20.625%	26.25%	26.875%	20%	6.25%
Pixie	20.5%	26.5%	26.5%	20%	6.5%

Ok theres the data(sorry for any mistakes in the data if there is any.) I'd like to thank Toreyluvullo and Silveriusome for helping me do the math.

Any Questions, comments, or the likewise?

I'd have to double check the mathematics, when I get the time.

But I do want to thank you for your hard work/thorough data collection. Hats off to your work.

Looks good by my calculations. I am impressed with your efforts on this and congratulate you again. As soon as I have my PS2, I'll begin assisting more than just double checking math conversions. :P

yes - very interesting start. this could mean that the stages of mr4 monsters lives are more uniform [like mr3 was] than different [like mr2 was]. or it could just mean that you stumbled on two monsters of a similar pattern to begin the research, and there might be differences, if different breeds are examined. in that regard, we noted that these are monsters from two different "groups", pixie being a sprite and phoenix being a spirit.

all in all, a good start. definitive conclusions cannot be drawn, however, without more breeds being thrown into the mix.

Phoenixs are a good start for a base monster life span, since they have only one /? breed, and no subs to effect life. They are a good breed to test the effects of stress, food, injury, and battles strain of life span with.

Maybe next Pixie test should have more than one, to include a Pixie/Durahan. In MR2, those things lived considerably longer than the regular Pixie.

Ok combined the 2 Cd phoenix's heres what i got

x	Lif	Pow	Int	Acc	Spd	Def
T4	150	160	190	120	150	120
T5	150	160	190	120	150	120
Baby	143	194	246	153	191	120

T4 and T5 had bonding lvl of Great Friends

As you can see the baby excelled in all stats besides Lif and stayed the same for defense.

Ok I've decided to combine all the phoenices with all the other phoenices to see what happens heres the stats for the test phoenices.

Ok, I'm looking at those baby monsters and they make pretty good starting monsters. In fact, they seem as good as the babies I get from combinations of fully raised monsters. As anyone with experience on combos ever do better than those babies?
