THINGS CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL MONSTER RANCHER
- Loyalty does not increase much or at all if your monster is Spoiled (i.e. Fond
or Doting style). You'll find it hard to get a spoiled monster with over 50 or
60 loyalty.
- Techniques have a Withering and Sharpness stat. Withering drains guts, while
Sharpness probably improves your chance of a double-damage hit.
- Drills do not earn you money; they only improve your stats. In addition to
Success or Failure, they can also do "Great" (+20 or so), Cheat for minimal
gain, or go Truant and not even try. Once your skill reaches 350 or so, drills
designed around that stat are listed with two stars, and become much harder to
complete. However, when you do succeed at a mastered drill, you can gain up to
20 points. Further mastery of three stars is also possible.
- If a monster does not want to do a particular drill, he will give you a "yuck"
gesture before you confirm "yes/no" to start. Consider a different drill when
they go "yuck". On the flip side, a monster with high loyalty will sometimes
"cheer" about a drill, in which case you should consider doing that drill that
week.
- If you win at least one match in a battle, you get a single-arrow training
boost to three random stats. The Errantry is still a better source of training,
though, since the stats gained are not random, and since you can learn special
techniques there.
- You can earn money as a reward for defeating a wild monster while training at
the Errantry. Fighting wild monsters is more difficult than a normal battle.
First, you can NOT directly control your monster; it is controlled by the
computer. Second, to win, you must KO the opponent before a hidden time limit
passes. Finally, your opponent comes from a random rank, so might be much more
powerful or weaker than you. A Class and higher wild monsters, such as the
Silverhead (card #396), are rare breeds that show up as an "Enemy" card in your
collection once you fight them.
- The Lab can "Analyze" your monster, and give you insight into some of its
hidden properties. These can change as the monster grows.
- The Market sells different monsters based on the season, giving you more than
just the original three to choose from. Also, you can sell your monster at the
Market, if you don't feel like freezing it.
- Your training assistant is personalized based on answers you give to a
personality test at the start of the game. My guess is this has some effect on
when she tells you a monster is tired, stressed out, spoiled, and so on. For
example, if you indicate you like to take risks, she probably waits longer to
tell you your monster needs rest than if you say you like to play it safe.
GUTS RECOVERY RATES
All monsters recover Guts at a rate based mostly on their primary monster type
(i.e. what type of monster body and attacks they have). Below are listed the
relative amount of Guts each monster gets back in the same amount of time (e.g.
In the time it takes a Zuum to get back 5 Guts, a Pixie will get back 10 while a
Golem will get back only 3.) Different sub-breeds may have slightly different
rates.
Ape - 5 Arrow Head - 4 ColorPandora - 6 Crab - 6
Dragon - 3 Gaboo - 4.5 Ghost - 10 Golem - 3
Hanger - 4.5 Hare - 4 Hopper - 8 Jell - 5
Jill - 6 Joker - 5 Kato - 5.5 Magic - 4
Mammoth - 4 Mocchi - 6 Mock - 5 Monol - 4
Naga - 5.5 Mew - 4.5 Phoenix - 6 Pixie - 10
Plant - 7 Suezo - 5 Tiger - 6 Whale - 3
Worm - 5 Zuum - 5
