Monster Rancher 2 Training Planner

Tutorial: How to use Training Planner

Things to consider:

• All new born monsters start at 0 Stress/0 Fatigue.
• The planner assumes you are starting with 0 Stress / 0 Fatigue and start on any Week 1 but you can adjust the starting Stress/Fatigue values if you know them.
• If you're not sure/don't have access to tools to see what you're starting with, but want to start with the best condition:
  Reset to 0/0 by starting at week 3 with a Mint Leaf + Rest
  • Mint Leaf + Rest for week 4
  • then Tablets on a week 1.
  This should be enough to ensure you're starting your monster off with 0/0 and will align with your schedule in the Training Planner.

Lifespan Index Calculation (How much lifespan am I losing?)

• LI = Fatigue + (Stress * 2)
• If LI hits 70 or higher you begin to lose additional weeks of lifespan.
• Monsters have a finite lifespan. Every week lived subtracts 1 week from their lifespan. the LI column indicates additional weeks of lifespan lost during that week lived.

Rest & Life Stages

• Rest has different values based on life stage. Rest also has a range of values in each life stage. See Rest Values in the Lifespan Index information for the values per stage.
• When resting you can randomly get any value within this range of values.
• This calculator assumes the lowest possible benefit from Rest for the input Life Stage value as a worst-case safety measure, rather than assume the highest value which might lead you to a false sense of security and take unexpected lifespan hits.

Form values

• Form affects the amount of fatigue received from Battles.
• Use this chart to make a best guess on your numerical Form value.

  Form Value Ranges
  Plump	Fat	Normal	Slim	Skinny
  -100 to -60	-59 to -20	-19 to 19	20 to 59	60 to 100

Stress values that Training Planner doesn't factor

• There are too many factors and ranges to try and factor in the below Stress values into the Training Planner.
• You can use Save Scumming to avoid a particular Monster behaviour, but if not, consider the below and be sure to correct for it.
• Denying requests, and Scolding Truants, Failures, and Cheats can also can increase stress. The amount varies depending on your monster's Nature & Training Style. Click an action to see the detailed Drill Processing tables.

  Ranges based on style -100 to +100

  Action	Nature >= 0	Nature < 0
  Truant scold	0 to 8 stress	0 to 16 stress
  Cheat scold	0 to 8 stress	0 to 24 stress
  Failure scold	0 to 4 stress	0 to 8 stress
  Deny Request	1-10 Stress*
  Broken Promise	10-30 Stress

  *MR2DX seems to default to +10 stress regardless of Style or Nature.

Magic Bananas

• Please see the Item List for Magic Bananas for specifics of the 3 possible effects.
• At very high (or very low) loyalty you may not get exactly +10 (or -10) loyalty, especially if either Spoil or Fear is already at 0, or capped at 100.
• Loyalty is just the only in-game way to see which effect you've received without 3rd party tools like Advanced Viewer.

DX Expedition

• Expedition in DX does not subtract the 4 weeks "lived" during the expedition. Instead you lose 1 week + any remaining LI lifespan hit from Stress and Fatigue.
• If you started with 0 fatigue, this makes it appear to get +2 weeks of lifespan (your age advances by 4 weeks but only lose lifespan from the Fatigue which is a minimum of 2)
• DX Expedition doesn't actually add weeks of remaining lifespan to your monster but it can make it appear much older than it actually is because of this.
