Monthly Food & Monster Preferences
Monthly food choices have varying effects based on monster preferences. It is only offered on Week 1 of the month. Typically a monster can only be fed 1 item per week, but the Monthly food is in addition to the weekly food. This shouldn't be considered "reward/punishment item" for your monster; This is an opportunity to reduce stress with an extra item! (or, increase stress with the wrong item).

Likes & Dislikes

All monsters have 1 of 3 preference for each of the 5 monthly foods at all times; Liked, Neutral, and Disliked.

The benefits of the monthly foods are altered based on a monster's preference for them.

  • The preferences on the status screen will override their natural preferences if there is a conflict.
    • If they naturally like Tablet but were born with Dislikes Tablet, then they Dislike Tablet
  • A monster’s Likes/Dislikes shown on the Status screen are randomized at birth. You can repeatedly shrine a monster to try and get a liked food preference or avoid a disliked food.
  • Liking something on the status screen in addition to liking innately does not provide additional benefit.
  • Liking/Disliking "You" does not override the born with Likes/Dislikes items, or their natural preferences.
    • If they "Like Tablet" at birth, and eventually "like you", they still Like Tablet.
  • Liking/Disliking Battle adjusts post-tournament stat gains.
    • Liking Battle gives you +1 stats to the post-tournament gains.
    • Disliking Battle gives -1 stats to post-tournament gains.

Notes about Magic Banana

Magic Bananas are an item with a random effect on use. Without using tools, you can observe Loyalty in-game to determine which effect is received.
How Loyalty works: Loyalty = (Fear/2) + (Spoil/2) . Fear and Spoil cap at 100, and cannot drop below 0. When loyalty is at the extreme ranges (close to 0 or close to 100) you will likely only see Loyalty shift a few points.
  • Desired Effects: For PSX version, 1 Magic Banana will drop loyalty and increase lifespan by 1 week. This must be done every week and will keep loyalty at 0. It is very tedious but you can achieve an immortal monster in this manner.
  • Desired Effects: For MR2DX version, 1 Magic Banana will raise loyalty and and reduce stress by a static amount of 10. Using only 1 per month with the right raising schedule and Gemini Pots, every monster can have access to 3 heavy drills per month without lifespan hits. While this does not extend lifespan, it allows you to do more rigorous training in less time and 75% less save-scumming.

Additional Peach Information

  • Weeks are immediately added (+50 for Gold Peach, +25 for Silver Peach).
  • The monster's life stage is adjusted the week after the peach is fed.
  • It is not possible to roll back a monster's life stage to Stage 1 using peaches.

How/Why does this happen?

  • The game's code calculates Life Stage breakpoints based on a monster's born-with Aging type and lifespan. At the beginning of each week, the game checks if the lifespan of the current monster has reached a breakpoint. If it does, the Life Stage is updated.
  • However, there is no breakpoint for Life Stage 1 (the beginning lifespan weeks of a given monster). There are only breakpoints from the beginning of stage 2 onward. This is why feeding a peach can never revert a monster's higher Life Stage back to Life Stage 1, because the game simply isn't coded to check for it.
  • In most scenarios with normal lifespan monsters while feeding the peaches after prime, The weeks of the peach are added, and the clock is moved back the number of added weeks, usually incrementing your monster 1 more Life Stages prior.
  • In PVP, peaches are often used in Life Stage 1, adding weeks into this stage for use with competitive strategies for using Cheat! drills to lower unwanted stats.
  • In Single Player peaches are most often used after Life Stage 5 (Prime) when X # of weeks have passed from the start of stage 5 as the peach being fed, allowing one to live through stage 5 multiple times when the stat gains are scaled the highest.
  • Very short lived monsters can have an odd behavior. Using the 98 week Prince Hare with a Normal Aging Type in MR2DX as the example:
    • The first check for Life Stage 2 is at 88 weeks.
    • Feeding a Gold Peach at Stage 4 with 63 weeks remaining adds 50 weeks of lifespan bringing the lifespan up to 113 weeks.
    • The game is looking for the next breakpoint, which in this case is going to be 88 weeks remaining.
    • You'll notice the monster doesn't leave stage 4 the following week, or even 14 weeks later when it should. This particular monster will remain in Life Stage 4 for 25 weeks, at which time it will have 88 weeks remaining (the first "stage 2" check), then finally revert to Life Stage 2 the next time the game rolls into a new week.

 

Passive Items
Passive Items take effect every 1st week and are stackable -- Just having them in your inventory will provide the benefit.
They are not given or fed to your monster. Since the effect is automatic, your are still free to use the Monthly food and Weekly items while also benefiting from the passive effects of these items.

Note about the passives
  • Passive Items only work on Week 1, and assumes your monster is actually on the ranch when the week rolls into week 1 (this means you are prompted to feed it the monthly item), and not brought out after it is already week 1.
  • Passives can be stacked, but they are calculated 1 at a time.
    • e.g. 10 Artemis Sculptures doesn't reduce Fatigue by 30%, it reduces it by 3% one at a time. If you were at 100 Fatigue, the first pot would be 3% of 100 (-3), the second would be 3% of 97 (-2) etc.)
    • WHAT DOES FLOORED MEAN? It removes anything after a decimal (e.g. 0.9 is not rounded up to 1, it's just "0").
    • You can see that for all items that don't have a static reduction, Stress or Fatigue values must be incredibly high to receive minimal benefits.
      Break points for Floored %
      Stress/Fatigue-3%-2%-1%
      Effect at 100-3-2-1
      Effect at 99 or less-2-10
      Effect at 66 or less-1-10
      Effect at 49 or less-100
      Effect at 33 or less000
  • Stacking Gemini Pots is incredibly strong. The extra Fear helps raise loyalty quickly, and DX's additional guaranteed -1 stress reduction per each pot makes this the most important passive item in the game, guaranteeing stress reduction even at lower values where originally it would stop working.
  • Heel & Hero badges are also stackable. However, having an equal amount of both badges cancels each other out. Situational for specific use-cases but are also safe to vendor, since Nature can more quickly and easily be adjusted with Jellies.
  • Artemis Sculptures are generally not useful to keep due to rounding down and also being calculated separately (one at a time), but they can have minor use when returning to the ranch on week 1 after Errantries. The extra Spoil isn't as valued as Gemini's Pot's extra Fear since it's much easier to give Spoil with praises and such but fewer opportunities for Fear. In DX The extra spoil was removed and is purely a vendor item.
  • All other Passives aren't beneficial enough to justify using up your limited inventory space, and many provide zero benefit due to flooring/rounding unless you're already at critical levels, and even then you're looking at 1 to 3 points. Compare this to the effect of a single Nuts Oil or Mint Leaf and the remaining passives are just clutter. Sell anything that isn't a Gemini Pot, and if you're keeping badges, only keep the one you need.

 

Combining (Fusion) Items

Combination / Fusion Items are items that are usable in the Lab when "Combining" two monsters together, fusing them into a new baby monster. Fusion items have many purposes. Some items are special and will unlock new monsters, and others such as Disc Chips, can give a variety of things like breed traits, drill bonuses, or battle specials, etc.

A NOTE ABOUT DISC CHIPS: Disc chips do NOT unlock monsters. In addition to their specific fusion bonuses, they persuade combination % outcome to their respective monster/breed, which can also lower the % outcome for other results (which can actually be good, since lower % outcomes can give higher Stat Bonuses if properly aligned).

For the persuasion to take effect, the Disc Chip breed must be present in at least one of the parent monsters. If the Disc Chip's breed is not present, it will only give the chip's specific bonus.

About DNA Capsules

DNA Capsules are special items that can be used in fusion in Monster Farm 2, and MR2DX. One of these can be won in the PocketStation Job mini game. The others will require cheats to acquire.

How to Play the Job Game DNA Capsule Trivia

It should be noted that ALL monsters born from combining using the DNA Capsules are the equivalent of their Pure-Breed baseline monsters.
Example: "Moo" born from fusion with Gray DNA Capsule is just a Pure Dragon with all of Pure Dragon's Aging Type, Guts regen, Lifespan etc. that just has the Moo skin. It is NOT any of the unique Moo baseline or Moo variants that are available at the Shrine in MR2DX using the specific Title and Artists.

Notations:
  • [1] God's Slate: An errantry lore/quest item. It is speculated to be related to an encounter with Moo that was cut from the game, due to finding unused Moo stat data in the game code. It's also possible it just never had a purpose outside of being Talico's object of desire and why he wants to go to Kawrea in the first place.
  • [2] PocketStation "Job" reward
  • [3] Effect only when item is requested by the monster before doing a drill. This is NOT the effect when fed as the Week 1 monthly food!

Things of Note

  • Strong Glue: 1999/NTSC - The only way to get the Strong Glue out of your inventory in the original game is to use a Gameshark or cheat device to remove it from inventory.
    2021 MR2DX/JP Ports - You are able to sell the Strong Glue. Even after selling it, you will continue to make the fully glued Quack Dolls
  • Monster wants [item]: The items your monster will request for a drill have very minor effects like +1 form, -2 form, or -1 stress. For the most part they do the same thing but cost different amounts. None of them are important- they’re just there to cause stress to your monster if you say "No.". Monsters requesting Nuts Oil still receive the full benefit of Fatigue relief (H.A.D. monsters do not get the extra Stress relief from a requested Nuts Oil).
