Effect of Items Requested by Monsters

Monster Rancher Metropolis: Monster Rancher 2 Archive (PSOne): Items: Effect of Items Requested by Monsters

I'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I could not find it.

Anyway, I am having a mental lapse. Currently, I am building a spreadsheet for MR2 training. But, I cannot recall if items that your monster asks for has any effect on it other than Spoil. And, if there is any formulas or numbers involved, please pass on that information.

Thanks,

Varthlokkur

While I am at it, does battle reduce lifespan by 3 weeks in addition to the week of the battle?

Thanks Again!

Another set of question!

Expeditions

I have listing +70 Fatigue per expedition. Any idea on how that is broken out per week? 17.5 just doesn't seem right.

Any lifespan hits?

As I build this spreadsheet, more and more questions pop-up. And I would hate to just slap something together.

Those little items your monsters ask for usually have either a very minor effect on stress, or a vary minor effect on form. I have a list somewhere on this board that lists all those little items. As a general rule of thumb, if it's edible it increases form by 1, if it's not, reduce stress by 1. Note, refusing a monsters request can increase stress by as little as +1 to as much as +10 or more, depending on how spoiled the monster is.

As for the second part of your question, the answer is yes.

So, basically, the items your monsters ask for have their normal effect (ie: Dummy -1 stress, Olive Oil -1 stress +1 form).

Refusing is a +1 to +10 stress hit. That will be another toughie to factor in.

Okay, to get the spreadsheet in its very rough form, go to my racing website ( Varthlokkur's Racing League). Click on the Downloads link and follow the directions for downloading the MR2 Training Spreadsheet. BTW, I am using Excel 2000.

Again, this is rough and just my first pass at setting this up. It is set-up for only one year at the moment and not all the functions work completely. Please send me any comments you may have on this project.

Thanks,

Varthlokkur

I was reading somewhere that Shaved Ice relives something like +12 stress (or something like that). What monster asks for it, and out of that species, which would anybody recommend? (I'm trying to develop a new rasing method)

I know that Zillas do.

So, anyone interested in me continuing work on that spreadsheet. Or, should I just drop it.

I am!! I think it's a very useful idea.
