Thanks, I'll move this to the FAQ in a few days. Tack any additions on, and I'll edit them in.

ran ran leaves can be +200 also

Literally stepped on enough Ran Ran leaves one time to completely strip Kalaragi clean and have 300 left. Had to abort to save my mind.

lol, I've almost had that happen to me as well John.

I'm curious... what kind of Ran Ran does everyone usually buy?

I buy Ran Ran fruit - Ok price and plenty of time... 3 'Noisy Halls' and 2 or 3 regular searches. ^_^

It really depends on the amount of cash I have on hand.

...personally I always have over 5k onhand, if I get lower than 2k I seriously start looking at what went wrong.

If all goes well, I should have plenty of cash from previous monsters efforts in High-Level tournaments.

I think I begin raising a monster with over 20k... that supports them until they can start really bringing in some income.

I take the fruit. Clear the three noisy halls and also there's time left for a few searches.

early on i have been springing for the extract, just to make sure that i am not missing anything.

the fruit is nice when you go to the noisy halls, but at the start when your sense is at a low rank, you dont get much stat exp, so i just go looking for items for a few years, then start training when im gettin like 90 exp per hall

oh and lisa you can add this to the post

type of ran ran	power it provides
smell	30
leaf	200
fruit	400
extract	600

I usually buy the fruit.

Btw Crystal, You should clear 2 of the 3 noisy halls first. Then do your searches until you are under 50, then use your last search on a noisy hall. That way you are only wasting your remaining points(instead of 100) on a noisy hall and you get a extra search.

Deior, that's the strategy I usually use (doing the last search when you're low on ran anyhow), but if you really really want to do that skill practice the strategy can backfire on you, if you bump into something that takes up more than 50 ran or so, like a fight.

When a monster is fairly young, I just get the "smell" and head to one noisy hall and that's it. If I spend more, then they go to 2-3 noisy halls. I don't like getting dragged into random battles at under 6 months of age, and the risk of that happening, to me, isn't worth the chance of finding a few points up in a stat or 300g.

Oh, OK I'll take your advice Deior. In Morx After clearing 2 noisy halls(The one in the tree and then the one where you go forward from where you started) then head to my lucky item finding spot and then do the third noisy hall.

i found a way to save ran ran, dont know if any1 noticed this yet but when i train in the desert, i go directly to the 3 stacked rocks which is where a noisy hall is and grab that, then i immediately turn around and search the cactus behind it because it is so close, depending on how fast u can hit that u may only lose 70 ran ran on hitting the noisy hall and a search(for example if u hit the noisy hall at 597 ran ran, then immediately search the cactus while ur ran ran is at 566, then u will only lose 50 more ran ran, taking u down to 516 at the end of both searches, saving u 66 ran ran) there are a few other places u can do this 2

characteristic changers can also be 50, 100, or 150

Yep. All your strategy are belo... screw it, everyones sick of that joke.
