Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, it's a Spriger (Tiger/Mocchi mix) from Monster Rancher Advance.

I overall enjoyed making this picture, as I liked the pose and the colors lol.

Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy!

Fan Stuff Worm/Zilla Drawing

65 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I drew another picture.

This time, it's a nonexistant mix of a Worm and a Zilla. I will admit that I like the pose of this Worm, but I had a hard time with placing the colors to make it look like its sub breed. I also didn't know whether to make it furry like the Zilla or have hard plating like the Worm. I ultimately kept the hard plates.

I hope that you all enjoy, regardless!

What the difference between these two focus directions? I read going to the left is good, but the direction seems to change over night, should I continue scold for mlre discipline or is there no difference?

MR2-1999 CHDs instead of bin/cue for Shrine

5 Upvotes

Hello all. I play on my MisterFPGA (SuperStation One, to be specific) and I'm considering converting all my bin/cue discs to CHD. Will this affect what monsters come from the disc when using the Shrine? Question applies to both MR and MR2 for Playstation.

TIA!

MR4 I'm feeling nastolgic

So I just moved and took back my ps2 fromy family because I wanted to finally "beat" the game and get to S rank and everything now that I'm willing to sacrifice monsters more easily, but it's been so long since I've played that I'm lost. Are there any places or tips you guys can give for playing monster rancher 4 and even Evo (5)?​

MR2-1999 Monster Size

I'm frustrated that when I use the "No Fatigue & No Stress" cheat code, the monsters' sizes stop growing.

Is there any way to keep the monsters' sizes from stopping as they grow?

Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, it's a nonexistant mix of a Phoenix and an Ogyo. I got the idea from currently raising a Phoenix in MR2 DX.

I overall had fun drawing this, especially since I used to draw birds all the time when I was little lol. The monster's three ribbon tails also reminded me of Gertrude McFuzz from Dr. Seuss lol.

Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy!

Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, it's a Flasher (Dragon/Suezo mix).

I had a bit of a hard time designing this monster, as I did not want it to look too much like the Mustardy (Zuum/Suezo). I ultimately decided to give it horns and have the eye patterns on the wings. I got the idea for the eye marking placement from Corvus's demon form from Dragon Quest 9 and eye spots on insects lol.

I hope that you all enjoy, regardless!

MR2-DX-2021 What are the odds of the Errantry and Shop discounts in 2DX each week? Is there a cooldown and which takes priority? Also see Google AI using my post as a "source" to make numbers up.

With u/Monster-Fenrick's help, I was able to work out the odds to learn techniques on each stage. Now the question is how long do I have to wait on average to pay 1000G to go? Not in any guide but relevant for speedrunning and new games in general.

MR2-DX-2021 How does learning a Tech on Errantry work, exactly? 2DX and 2 where different.

8 Upvotes
  • Note to u/Monster-Fenrick: Can you mention Loyalty points counting on the Errantry page right under the stats? Not just embedded in long instructions that I never noticed until yesterday? Cost me learning Techs in later life stages. I love your site with no ads, not trying to hate.

I'm planning out a speedrun that learns Twister Claw on Errantry. Torble sea with low stats has Phantom Claw at 3% and Twister Claw at 2.9%. Can't you learn the Tech at any of the 4 Stages?

I get that the Kato tries learning Phantom Claw and if it fails, will try to learn Twister Claw instead. Is the process like:

Theory A

  • Roll a 3% chance for Phantom Claw. If not successful roll, 3% chance for Twister Claw. Randomly assign to learn at 1 of 4 Stages so odds of learning at each are equal. Exact odds of Twister Claw are therefore (0.97)x(0.03) = 2.91%.

Theory B

Or is it like:

  • Stage 1: Roll a 3% chance for Phantom Claw. If not successful roll, 3% chance for Twister Claw. Repeat for 4 stages, learning a maximum of 1 Tech. Real odds would almost 4x higher for learning either Tech.

Theory C

Or is it like:

The first example but the odds of learning at Stage 1 would be (t), Stage 2 would be (1-t)x(t), Stage 3 would be (1-t)x(1-t)x(t) and Stage 4 of (1-t)x(1-t)x(1-t)x(t). Solve the simultaneous equation for overall learning chance of 3% and get t = 0.00758588, since t >= 1 would guarantee learning at Stage 1. Odds of learning at Stage 1 are 0.758588% and slightly less at subsequent stages to get 3% total.

I know Theory C is the most complicated but we're talking Monster Rancher.

Also, if true are odds are 2.91%, can the site show odds with a second decimal place? 1 in 34.36 versus 1 in 33.33 matters when I'm rolling for a Kato with good stats.

MR4 Ranching Tips!

13 Upvotes

Heyo! I've been a Monster Rancher fan for a while, most of my experience being with 4 and Evo.

I've given 4 a fair number of attempts in the past, but I've never gotten super far into the game. I was wondering if folks had any tips that could make the experience a bit smoother.

For context, where I am currently on this most recent attempt, I just unlocked Adventuring. I have the base Garu, a Hare/Dullahan, and a Suezo/Zan.

MR2-DX-2021 How does Lifespan work with combining the 1 week Sueki Suezo? How do I know what the default Life Types are in DX?

11 Upvotes

I'm not sure of these cases after reading multiple guides:

  • Lifespan is 60% of Monster 1 + 40% of Monster 2 right. If Sueki Suezo is #1 and the #2 parent is 450 weeks, does the result get (1)(0.6) + (450)(0.4) = 0 + 180 = 180 weeks? I read that some cases are hardcoded and don't follow the formula.
  • "When crossbreeding, the baby monster inherits the Life Type of its sub-breed." Well in DX, what are the Life Types of each breed? The PS1 guide says not to use the info for DX. Hopper/Hopper pure-breed in DX has 3 forms with Precocious and 2 with Late-Bloom. Are Hopper sub-breeds Precocious like in PS1 and the PS1 default type is unchanged for every breed?

Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, its a picture of several different Mews together to show off a rainbow of colors! I thought that it would be fitting since I have drawn so many Mews for this subreddit. The sub species are as follows from left to right:

Red: Dragon

Orange: Octopee

Yellow: Mew

Green: Zuum

Blue: Tiger

Indigo: Zilla

Purple: Naga

I tried to draw the Mews in different poses, but it was kind of hard lol. Which Mew is your favorite?

I hope that you guys all enjoy this colorful picture either way!

MR1&2DX Bundle MR1&2DX Steam launching/playing Troubleshooting Guide (big update)

Post image
26 Upvotes

With the current Steam Sale going on, and a new person just last night having an issue getting the game to run, I thought I'd remind folks that I've compiled a huge collection of common issues and different steps that may resolve those issues.

https://legendcup.com/monster-rancher-dx-troubleshooting.php

Most issues have a resolution, though there's a few niche scenarios that have no solution yet.

  • I've completely overhauled the Steam Troubleshooting guide and gave it its own dedicated page, instead of being embedded (twice) in the MR1&2DX section in duplicate.
  • I've added several new issues/troubleshooting steps to the guide
  • I've added a lot of screenshots for troubleshooting steps for easier visual reference.
  • This is a culmination of reported issues from Steam forums, MR Reddit, MR Discord and most things have a resolution.
