Hi guys i just picked up my monster rancher DS, and i was wondering if it is possible to have a raising method involving no rest? If anyone who has played monster rancher 2 they know what i mean, like constantly using items to lower fatigue.

I'm sure there is, but you're going to need quite a
bit of money to accomplish it. There's seven items
obtainable through tournaments that will aid in
reducing fatigue and stress, but you'll still spend
a small fortune in items either way over the course
of your monster's lifetime.

Still, this being a Monster Rancher title, I'm sure
it's something that can be done.

For the record, the perfect guide shows how to take a monster to all 999 pretty much with no rest at all. It took over 4 years and 2 golden peaches with a total cost of 308,700 gold. (The monster did make 152,000 gold in tournaments though...)

I had a Surfana (Ogyo/???) that I didnt feed or let rest for a year, and it never ran away.
I was actually waiting for the builder so I was stalling.

Ahhh I see, thanks everyone, but what is the perfect guide? Is it a strategy guide or a thread? i looked everywhere on the site and can't seem to find it XD. Sorry for the trouble.

The perfect guide is the book that Tecmo published all about the Japanese game. Both MFDS1 and MFDS2 had perfect guides.

Just my luck. Not being able to read Japanese will make it kind of difficult. :(

Guess ill just have to figure it out the old fashion way with trial and error.

Seeing as how you can give an unlimited amount of items to your monster any given week I think it'd be really easy (though expensive) to have a no rest training schedule.

Wait seriously... I had no idea, because i just figured u couldn't. Wow that is an epic fail on my part.

Thanks VenomousX, super useful and probably obvious info! (I'm not being sarcastic btw)

Did I read correctly that you can give your monster more than 1 golden peach in this one?

You can, but you need to space them out. The book recommends giving one in year 2 and 1 in year 3.

So can you only give 2? Or can you keep feeding them to him every year thereafter, MR1 style?

Unknown. But good luck getting more than 1 peach at a time.

Now you made me translate what the book says about getting all 999 stats:

1) Start with a high potential monster. Combining 2 Class A monsters will yield a good one. (they use a Gali and a Centaur)

2) Save up 300000 gold.

3) follow this general schedule -

Week	Food	Items	Training	Cost
1	Vitamin	Elixir	Basic	850g
2	-	Mushroom + Sea Angel	Basic	1800g
3	-	Mushroom + Sea Angel	Basic	1800g
4	-	Mushroom + Sea Angel	Hard	1800g

4) Do tournaments often because you gain money and gain stats.

5) Drill when you can to gain techs.

6) Use a peach when they hit prime and then again one year later.

lol, man this helped me out a lot! thanks dude your awesome for this!
