This is an archive post. It is not intended to be a “method” or training regime for your monster. It is simply how I raised my second Mariomax using the best techniques and tricks I know. Like my first Mariomax, this is a first generation Golem straight off the Bob Dylan’s greatest hits CD. The goal here is to achieve the highest overall point total.

Unless otherwise noted, the Monster is assumed to be even in raising style, normal in weight, and Bad in nature. This monster was raised on a ranch that has all the stable and house upgrades including the hot springs. Items in inventory throughout the monsters life are: 3xGemini Pot, Artemis Statue, Lump of Ice, Fire Stone, Dino Tail, and Heel Badge. When the date skips forward a couple of weeks, it is assumed that Bruce was put in the freezer and another monster went to the ranch. I’ll continue to tack on more posts, time allowing.

One more dose of Paradoxine to go! I’ll finish off Stage 1 sometime this weekend or on Monday.

16 spd! my monol I got came with 10! What is with these LOW totals? I mean if you suck at speed, you really suck at speed

To Anonymous: The 16 SPD on the Mariomax was due to the side effects of Paradoxine. Just wait until he's finished. You'll be surprised!

****END OF STAGE ONE****

1.2.1 Years Old, 2509 total points

Lif-146, Pow-871, Int-165, Ski-804, Spd-23, Def-50

um, jimbo, i bow to your brilliance as a trainer, but as a mathmatician...unless you typo-ed one of the categories, those numbers do not add up to 2509 total...oh wait i see your typo - its 2059 not 2509.

Ahhh.... Whoops, 2059 should be the point total. Thanks Torey.

End of Stage 1, and 2000+ already?? Love those drugged out monsters! I used to be against them until I tried DP's method using Troron, and saw the incredible stat gains! BTW, I remember your first Mariomax post at the old LUSENET site: "Farmer Jimbo Raises A Mariomax" was what it was called, I think.

That's right Tony, that was a monster raised with a little help from Toron. I'm glad I tried that before plunging into a paradoxine monster using elements of DP's method. It gave me nice comparability.
