I started to play my monster rancher again and plans to serious try to raise a high stat composite monster.

I wanted to know if anyone figured out the various infomation like MR2(fatigue/stress from training, the equation to know if monster lost a week of life, if adventures/battles reduces the monsters, lifespan, etc.) I looked around for them in the archives and I didn't see any.

Nope, not yet. Still looking for an enterprizing hacker...

Perfect for chonas009 to work on....

I have another question.

About MR4 combining. No matter what generation monster you're combining, the end result will always be the same because it only multiples from the base stats?

Anyone??

As far as we know Harrabcat's work is pretty much the whole story. You could look into it further...

Sure, I'll start it ASAP.

so far on development of combining. I found out that the multipliers are actually wrong.

I have 2 intelligent monsters. I have a Pixie(pixie/pixie), and a Hornie(suezo/tiger). both of which were inseperable.
Stats for Pixie:
HP 251
POW 70
INT 513
ACC 505
DEF 65
SPD 506

Stats for Hornie:
HP 257
POW 113
INT 510
ACC 445
DEF 504
SPD 118

Now, I looked at the basestats of the 2 monsters I plan to receive.
Baseline Stats for Pinkeye(suezo/pixie):
HP 90
POW 103
INT 157
ACC 130
DEF 82
SPD 113

Baseline Stats for Sueko(pixie/suezo):
HP 85
POW 87
INT 163
ACC 130
DEF 73
SPD 132

The combination results for each of the baby monsters was:
Pinkeye Sueko
HP 107 101
POW 123 104
INT 219 228
ACC 181 181
DEF 106 94
SPD 146 171

My two high stats composite is INT and ACC, both totalling 1023 and 950.
if you multiply Pinkeye's Base INT by 1.5x, the result should be 235.5, and his ACC by 1.5X should be 195.
if you multiply Sueko's base INT by 1.5x, the result should be 244.5, and her ACC by 1.5x should be 195 as well.

The multiplier may not be correct or it doesn't deal with the basestats. I'll keep looking. I'll check back with the next gen monsters.

Actually, the combining research is correct. for some reason, my monster did not get the maximum effect.

I froze both of my monsters, does that make a difference? They also was on rank A, could that possibly make a difference? Maybe Friendship doesn't matter at all, but it rank does.

I tried it out again, combining my hornie that frozen, with a (pixie/ducken) breed. the result was still the same. Possibly because my pixie/ducken breed was a rank B monster?

Perhaps rank S is a requirement to get the full effects of combining.

I doubt that freezing affects anything. Rank seems more likely.

I might have to look into this ill post again when i have an answer. Alchemyst out!
