1st gen	2nd gen	3rd gen	4th gen	5th gen
1000 stat gain	1750	2100	2170	2184	2186
1500 stat gain	2250	2700	2790	2808	2811
2000 stat gain	2750	3300	3410	3432	3436
2500 stat gain	3250	3900	4030	4056	4061
3000 stat gain	3750	4500	4650	4680	4686

as you can see we have our work cut out for us to make a maxed monster this is starting with a 750 composite start monster. as you can see with this monster you would need to gain over 3000 to max.

i dont get it.

there are 5 stats, 5x999=4995.

I don't understand this.......what does it mean?

Ok the stat gain is in a lifetime. (you gain a 1000 points in a lifetime) The gens are the the monster after being trained and having the heart crystals used on them, the total stats added together. 4995 would be a maxed monster.

this says that the theories of maxing monsters with hearts just isnt possible without huge stat gains in a lifetime.

ok - let me break it down a different way. assume that a basic encyclopedia monster starts with a composite 795. that's not bad - thats an average of almost 160 per category. now assume, as psych0midget showed in his maxing thread [posted elsewhere] that a good jumping off point is a heart of a monster with 3 maxed stats. at 20% passed on, that's an additional 600 points to be gained at some time during the recipient monster's life. finally, assume a 5 year lifespan - we know that can be done.

max points	4995
encyclopedia points	795
heart points	600
_______	_______
remaining to be earned during lifetime	3600

4 wks/mo x 12 mo/yr x 5 yrs = 240 wks

3600 divided by 240 = 15

that is the magic number. to totally max a monster [using these assumptions] you must gain an average of 15 pts/wk in one of the 5 categories.

let's go to work! we can find a way to attain this average, change the assumptions so that they are more favorable to us, or a little of both.

Minus weeks of rest = either 1 in 3 or 1 in 2, plus stat gains of HIGHER then 15 and stat gains LOWER then 15 (you cant use hard drills either cuz they lower stats, or mebbe you can cuz they raise 2...) and battles... THATS HARD!!! :p
