So, I tried Poaching today.

[BG-57]

Okay, so is there any purpose to the Nagrarock? I seem to remember Despotus making a riddle about how it seems weak at first, but then... something, I don't remember.

Here's the riddle you mentioned. Took me a while to dig it up:

What am I?
At first glance, I might appear weak;
But if to test my might you seek,
Strike at your foe,
And land a sure blow.
'Tis he who shall be the meek.

Nagrarock is useful for turning units into frogs or back again. That's it. It's actually useful if an ally has been frogged and you don't want to cast a recovery spell

Oh, and the Javelin 2 brings another level of purpose to the Lancer class. I mean, I've always thought they were okay before, but now, he's rivaling Orlandu's Sword Skills in terms of damage. Especially when I give him "Two Hands". !

Lancers can do more concentrated damage with Javelin (II), but I prefer the flexibility of Orlandu's skill set. Go with what works for you though. The game certainly allows all sorts of gameplay styles.

Hey, BG, have you found that when a monster has an egg, you have a lesser chance of getting a "better" type of that class of monster? For example, it takes a while to make a Bull Demon have a Sacred. Is that true, or am I just really unlucky? With my Uribo, I kept getting more and more Uribos and only a few Porkies and Wildbows.

That has been my experience as well, but I haven't got the statistics to back it up. I also think that the upper level classes tend to have a better chance of breeding upper level offspring.

And one more thing, which places have you found the following monster classes most common:

Behemoth Poeskas Lake or VOYAGE
Uribo END
Morbol Araguay Woods
Woodman Araguay Woods or MLAPAN
Dragon Bed Desert or VOYAGE or HORROR

I found a Dragon once at Germinas Peak, and I caught him, but I haven' seen them there since. And there was an Uribo in one of the Underground Colliery battles, and I got him, but I accidently poached him so I have no parent Uribo now. I tried to get a morbol from the fight where you save Reis, but it was too hard to do it without killing Reis, plus she was killing the badguy as I was trying to do it. Made it kinda tough.

There are random battles that you can get all the rare breeds from, if you're willing to wait until Deep Dungeon opens up.

I got a Dragon, got a few things from it and its children, but I didn't realize there are more than one item per monster, so I poached my last one, and now that I know I didn't get everything they had, I need another one!

I find it's best to reset after poaching a monster if you get the wrong item in the Fur Shop. Once poached, the item will always be a certain thing, but it's determined randomly at the moment of poaching.
