☆List of Glitches☆
1. EXP Glitch
A glitch that boosts EXP gain if a monster was involved in an attack.
Cases where it does not apply:
・Wrapping a slime around the torso
・Wrapping around the legs
・Wrapping around the arms
They are not involved in the attacking motion, and therefore the experience efficiency does not increase.
Examples where it does apply:
• Wrapping a slime around one’s fist and punching is valid.
• The Gobgobslisli Club is valid because the slime covers the goblin and supports it as a weapon.
• The PixWhip is valid because not only the tip but the entire body flexes and participates in the attacking motion. (Covering the PixWhip in slime is valid, but the pixies might be choked to death.)
• Riding a GobGob Leg or a Skelittle Dragon is considered as Kikyou’s own legs, so it is valid.
• A pixie grabbing Kikyou and flying, or goblins or pixies forming a portable shrine-like carry, is also valid.
2. Trap Nullification Glitch
Dungeon traps activate when a human steps on a trap tile.
Therefore, if a person is riding a monster, the monster is the one stepping on the trap tile, thus invalidate the activation condition.
Examples:
• If Kikyo is riding Jin, the trap activates only for Jin.
• If one is flying and not touching the floor, traps do not activate.
3. Boss Room Glitch
The boss room entrance was designed to detect both humans and monsters. Once detected, a barrier wall materialises.
The boss room itself functions similarly to traps and activates by detecting humans. Therefore, if one enters while riding a monster, the boss did not recognise the human.
As a result, if the boss got defeated while the person was riding a monster, it was recognised as an unexpected error and the boss is re-summoned without delay.
The reason Kikyo could tame the boss of the boss room was because he tamed it before the boss room function activated and before the monster received backup from the boss room.
4. Monster Fusion Glitch
Skeleton Generals could fuse with other Skeleton Generals, and the head of a Skeleton General could fuse with a Dullahan, because monsters of similar types were managed under the same programme.
The bug where fused Skeleton Generals were recognised as a Skelittle Dragon occurred simply because Skelittle Dragon exists within the skeletal monster lineage tree.
5. Duplicate Skill Acquisition Glitch
The system was designed so that when the conditions for acquiring a skill are met, the skill could be obtained. However, even if the acquisition conditions are met again, the same skill could not normally be obtained twice.
However, when a skill reaches MAX level, the system checks again whether the acquisition conditions are fulfilled. If they are, the same skill can be obtained again.
That was why Kikyo possesses multiple instances of Monster Taming.
Examples:
• A Monster Tamer invests SP into the Monster Taming skill learned at the start until the skill reaches MAX. If they then fulfil the acquisition condition of becoming a Monster Tamer again, they obtain Monster Taming once more.
• If one trains excessively until the Physical Reinforcement skill reaches MAX, and then continues training until the acquisition condition is met again, Physical Reinforcement can be obtained again.
…and so on.
6. Glitch Where Monster Taming Applies to Humans
Monster Taming is a skill that was only meant to activate on monsters. However, the Monster Taming skill was originally a degraded version of brainwashing magic. Because a weakened form of brainwashing magic was forcibly adapted into the skill system as the Monster Taming skill, if the skill level becomes excessively high, it could be used on humans as well. (Level 256 of the Monster Taming skill is the minimum level required to use it on humans.)
Originally, the maximum level of Monster Taming was 255. However, due to the Duplicate Skill Acquisition Glitch, if Monster Taming 255 and Monster Taming 1 both exist, the system recognises it as Monster Taming 256. As a result, it could be used on weakened humans.
☆Dungeon Specifications☆
1. Monsters cannot leave the dungeon.
Exceptions occur in cases such as monster summoning or when an explorer forcibly drags them outside the dungeon.
2. Monsters were confined to their designated dungeon floor and cannot cross into other floors.
Exceptions occur in cases such as monster summoning or when an explorer forcibly drags them outside the dungeon.
3. Monsters were magical constructs composed entirely of magical energy. Upon death, they turned back into raw magical power.
Monster reborn functions by reconstructing the creature using the residual magical energy from its previous form.
4. Certain skills may be used outside the dungeon, while others are restricted to its interior.
Bonus-type skills acquired upon exceeding level 200, including Monster Summoning, physical enhancement skills, resistance-type abilities, buff and debuff effects, and support magic, remain usable outside the dungeon.
5. The moment one steps beyond the dungeon’s threshold, power diminishes.
Explorers and monsters outside the dungeon exert power equal to their Level 1 stats plus one-tenth of the amount increased through levelling.
For example, if Attack Power is 10 at Level 1 and 40 at Level 20, then outside the dungeon it is calculated as 13.
6.When monsters are defeated, EXP can be obtained, and Magic Stones or items may be dropped.
Upon defeating a monster, Magic Stones and items drop at a certain probability. However, Aomori Dungeon was a terrible dungeon, so its item drop rate was 0. Its EXP acquisition rate was also lower compared to other dungeons.
☆EXP Specifications☆
When a party is formed, EXP is divided evenly among its members.
Examples:
If boy A, girl B, girl C, and gorilla D earn 1000 EXP together, each receives 250.
Effort did not alter distribution. Even if gorilla D fought the fiercest battle, the system did not award him extra EXP.
Some Monster Tamers operate under a separate rule. In such cases, both the Monster Tamer and their monster receive identical amounts of EXP.
Examples:
If an allied monster defeats an enemy and earns 1000 EXP, the Monster Tamer and every allied monster present each gain 1000 EXP.
However, the Monster Tamer class carries significant disadvantages. Their base status was lower than that of most other jobs. Combat-oriented skills cannot be acquired through the system and must be obtained solely through personal training.
