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
