please post any info you find on how to get/upgrade the different species:

Note:
  • All variations within a Species are the same lvl (Variation/Upgrades are listed separately, below Species lists).

  • Mage Variations get the spells you have opened up on your character.

  • TP moves use only percentage needed, remainder stays.

  • Beating Maat reduces Job Instinct cost by 5k Infamy for that job.

  • Blue Box = Large, White Box = Medium, NQ Box = Small. Large creatures have a limited prowling area list.

  • Monsters that are weak to your monster type will not aggro you. Monster Strength Chart

Rafflesia unlocked Mitrastema (the darker Rafflesia) at Level 50.

Also, I'm not sure if this information is needed, but:
Rafflesia seems to be WAR+DRK hybrid (all WAR and DRK traits along with the spells DRK has access to)
Mitrastema seems to be BLM+DRK hybrid

Adamantoise does exist in dats. Chigoe might be the beetle Quest reward or it's a Rhino Beetle.

To get a Bee, you got to answer 3 questions.
The answers are:

The answers for the bee test aren't the same for everyone, so don't just blindly follow every pattern you see posted. When I did the quest the correct answers were Suibhne>Terynon>Aengus.
Something determines the order but no one knows what that something is. For those that need the bee:
Keep trying(Not Maccus or whatever, that's the guy in pashhow) until you get the first one correct, then make sure you remember that name. The first one never seems to change, so the last two names shouldn't take to long to figure out.

Dunno if ppl have mentioned this already but:

Bee is obtained by quest in the the place where you select/gear your monster, I forget the name.

Bee: War
lvl:1 100tp; sharp sting. high dmg, low Acc, good one tho.
lvl:10 100tp; pollen. Low heal, not up2 much.
lvl:15 unlocked mage version. Rdm, kicks ***.
lvl:30 300tp; frenzied pollen. Hundred fists.
also at 30 Fly is unlocked

Fly: War
lvl:1 70tp Venom, useless
lvl:10 100tp; Cursed Sphere, even more usless. does little no 0 dmg.
lvl:30 Unlocks Rdm version, again, kicks ***.
lvl:30 150tp;Somersault, massive dmg, around 500% high acc. Very nice.
lvl:45 unlocked Ladybird monster.
somewhere in there i unlocked the wamouracampa too. Not sure how I missed it in the chat log but I did :3

Wamouracampa: Pld
lvl: 1 Amber Scutum, Def bonus, seems around 10-15%, didn't test much
lvl:10 Thurmal Pulse, Enfire and blaze spikes, low dmg but I was low lvl so as to be expected, the guy has massive movement speed reduction too. maybe around 50%. kinda funny but annoyingly slow lol. no mage version made at 15

Ladybug: Thf
lvl:1 130 tp;Sudden lunge, around 150% low stun time.
lvl:10 100 tp; Noisome powder, seems like a full 40% atk down.
lvl:30 100 tp;Spiral Spin, a 200% atk,not bad at all.
Sorry for bad layout, 1st time postin' on the old forums~ most should be correct but i dont have ffxi open so doing it on memory. fly is pretty awsome :D guna take to 50 later n see if he get anything special and my ladybug too~ On a side note, the rdm ones can cure and buff other monsters ^^

Planning on lvling raptor as far as possible. Will fill this in as I go along.



Raptor: WAR, high physical attack potency and HP
Lv 1: Ripper Fang - Costs 100TP, 200% physical damage single target attack. Either also forces a crit or is actually 300~400% damage.
Lv 10: Chomp Rush - Costs 100TP, 3 hit physical damage + Slow. Slow seems fairly potent, but the damage is pretty poor.
Lv 20: Scythe Tail - Costs 120TP, single hit physical damage + Stun + Knockback. Fair duration stun, poor damage.
Lv 30: Thunderbolt - Costs 130TP, Thunder breath damage with additional effect: stun. Damage = Current HP/12.
Lv 40: Frost Breath - Costs 130TP, Ice breath damage with additional effect: paralysis. Damage = Current HP/12.


Lv30 bestows Raptor's instinct I (HP+1% Attack+5 Haste+3%) and unlocks->


Lindwurm: WAR, just a palette swap of the regular Raptor
Lv 1: Ripper Fang - Costs 100TP, 200% physical damage single target attack. Either also forces a crit or is actually 300~400% damage.
Lv 10: Chomp Rush - Costs 100TP, 3 hit physical damage + Slow. Slow seems fairly potent, but the damage is pretty poor.
Lv 20: Scythe Tail - Costs 120TP, single hit physical damage + Stun + Knockback. Fair duration stun, poor damage.
Lv 30: Thunderbolt - Costs 130TP, Thunder breath damage with additional effect: stun. Weak damage, about Current HP/12.
Lv 40: Foul Breath - Costs 130TP, Fire breath damage with additional effect: disease. Damage = Current HP/12.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but I'm pretty sure you can only learn spells you know on your actual BLM (and presumably the other classes) on your monsters.

I've had LSmates tell me they were getting warp/tractor and I've seen people using -ga spells in the same areas as me but I have painfully low mage jobs so I've got a pitiful spell pool despite my monster being ~30.

Working on Tiger
Lvl 1 - Razor Fang 150 TP 300% damage
Lvl 10 - Claw Cyclone 200 TP conal 200% damage
Lvl 20 - Roar AoE Paralyze 100 TP
Lvl 40 - Crossthrash 100 TP conal 200% damage, knockback, and dispel

Tiger is WAR with increased movement speed but poor accuracy. It has high attack, below average defense

Its highly recommended to get Dancer's Instinct for Tiger to combat the accuracy problem. It has the capability of mowing through VT-IT mobs but without that instinct the fights get hairy.

At 30 it gains Tiger Instinct I
