Monipulators

Monipulators are the playable monster forms available to players in Monstrosity. Essentially, Monipulators are jobs in monster form.

• If you log out or lose connection as a Monipulator, you will still be a Monipulator when you log back in.

Experience, Levels, and KO

• The maximum level for Monipulators is 99.
• Monipulators need fewer experience points per level than normal jobs.
• Monipulators are extremely powerful for their levels.
• If you are KO'd as a Monipulator, you lose a small amount of Experience Points and Infamy.
• When KO'd, you are given the option to Retry or Quit Monstrosity.
  • Retrying respawns you in your current zone. You will appear at a random coordinate with a brief Gestation status.
  • Choosing to quit returns you to the Odyssean Passage that you most recently used to access the Feretory.

Merit Points

• Merit Points in the HP/MP, Attributes, and Others categories are applied to monipulators.
  • If a monipulator is below level 75, these merits are applied in a reduced fashion, like with normal jobs.
  • For example, if a player has fully merited MP, their monipulators gain 10 MP from those merits at level 10.
• Merited spells like Quake II and Paralyze II are unavailable to monipulators, even though monipulators usually have spells available to players on their respective jobs.

Monipulator Jobs

• Each monipulator has two jobs. Unlike players, their second job is equal to the level of their first job, rather than halved.
  • If you use the <job> command, you will see that, although your jobs show up as ???, the levels of your main and subjob are equal.
• Many monipulators have a job combination of WAR/WAR. Because identical job traits do not stack, the only significance to this is the stat bonus.
• Monipulators acquire job traits at the same levels as their jobs.
  • Many job traits that appear in their trait lists, such as Gilfinder, Treasure Hunter, Clear Mind, and Assassin, do not actually have any effect for monipulators, but still appear in their traits.

Spell Selection

• Monipulators with a job of White Mage, Black Mage, or Red Mage have the same spell lists as their player job counterparts.
• Which spells are available to your monipulators depends on which spells you have learned outside of Monstrosity using spell scrolls.
  • For example, at level 16, black mage monipulators learn Shock, just like normal black mages. However, if you have not used a Shock scroll outside of Monstrosity to learn the spell, it will not be available to your monipulators.
• Some spells, such as Warp, Escape, Tractor, Raise, Reraise, Teleport, and Recall appear in monipulators' spell lists if you have learned them, but they cannot be used.
• Level 75 merit spells such as Quake II and Paralyze II do not appear in monipulators' spell lists and cannot be used.

Assistance

• Monipulators can cure and buff each other.
• Monipulators cannot cure or buff non-Monipulators.
• Healing Waltz can be used by players to heal Monipulators, but not Healing Magic.
• Pixies heal monipulators with yellow HP or lower.
• Monipulators cannot Call for Help or join or form parties or alliances.

Monster Correlation Effects

• Monipulators have innate Killer Effects depending on their type.
• Additionally, monipulators do not aggro monster types that they intimidate.
  • For example, beasts like Rabbit (MON) do not aggro lizard-type monsters.
• Refer to the chart on the right for monster strengths and weaknesses.

Restrictions

• Cannot change areas, other than using the Relinquish command to return to the most recently used Odyssean Passage outside of the Feretory.
• Cannot use or equip items.
• Cannot Call for Help.
• Cannot join or form parties or alliances.
• Cannot view or arrange spells from normal spell inventory.
• Cannot modify or access own bazaar.
• Cannot obtain items or Treasure Caskets from enemies.
  • Key Items are an exception. Currently, it is known that monipulators can acquire the key items for the mission Gatherer of Light (I):
    Bowl of bland Goblin salad, Jug of greasy Goblin juice, and Chunk of smoked Goblin grub.
  • Information is needed on whether there are any other key items monipulators can obtain.
  • It may be possible to progress the quest The Miraculous Dale as a monipulator, but verification is needed.
• Cannot access Combat Skills menu.
• Cannot talk to NPCs or interact with objects outside of the Feretory.
• Cannot open doors in dungeons.
• Restricted to areas accessible from the Odyssean Passage in the Feretory.
• Large monipulators, such as Dhalmel (MON) and Morbol (MON) cannot enter dungeons.
• Warp, Escape, Tractor, Raise, Reraise, Teleport, and Recall spells appear in monipulators' spell lists if you have learned them, but they cannot be used.
