EX Monsters

Cloudy, what makes you think that the psycho version requires the same amount as the sin version? I've calculated the stats for the sin version and the total is about 2.5k higher than the total of the covert that has been posted by T.  Additionally, I have noticed that the sin IPA+ has higher total stats than any of the other sin versions. My understanding is that ONLY the sin ipa+ requires 20 instead of 10, considering that it has a higher total of stats.

Sin version total stats:
Atk: 199135
Def: 150064
Hp: 117924
Total stats: 467123

Covert stats:
Atk 181198
Def 150064
Hp 133518
Total stats: 464780

Difference in total stats: +2343 for sin

Q.E.D.

I'll check when my Psy and Cov Ex reached 3rd evo

Species down work on ex now thx to a team.

...unless now we can use normal monster to sac for skill, full ex m+20 team are so expensive to make but lose to species down and have less agil base than aaa. Seriously, why bothered?

...and please don't say those boobies are worth it. No they aren't...I think lol

How about the bp savings? Nearly as strong as AAAs, fewer skill changes needed, and a good relica support will even things up against AAAs anyway. I have particularly good relica to support my future Ex form, at least a bit. Still looking for agi relica, but at least I can slice off 10% of enemy Winged monsters' health and even add about the same percentage to my own.

I have 10% agil relic but aaa still goes before my ex even when I'm the one who initiated the attack.
U r right about good relic can help ex a lot, but not to the point that they can beat more than half of aaa team. I have pretty good relic but I can barely beat half of the unwinged aaa team.
Bp usage is cheaper than aaa of course. but for me it's not worth it if I'm gonna win only 50% of the battle with aaa team in def.
I never said ex is bad, I'm just poiting out that it's gonna be expensive to max skill of the whole team and now people can use aa team with brute/demon/wyrm dw and beat ex team.

And don't forget that for ftp player they are so much easier to get then a AAA+  formation. So also the players that won't pay for SP will stay competative against AAA forms

On a slightly separate note, I decided to try farming for these stones with a low BP team and did not get very good results.

My low BP team almost never got them. I think once I got 2 flesh stones. On the other hand, as soon as I switched over to my higher BP formation and battled, I'd get one almost right away.

So I'm thinking maybe the frequency of gathering a stone is in some part dependent on your formation's BP.

It wouldn't be the first time A team used a similar tactic to try and balance the game in this way. (Even though they didn't specifically say it this time around).

Has anyone else noticed something similar?

I noticed this as well.  I put in my 98bp form and like you got nothing.  With my main form (218bp) I seem to get something about 1/4 of the time (either relica crystals or stones)

How is a ftp player supposed to get the final stage evo stones before dying of old age?

Pretty much.  Also even if they get them it costs ~190ep to get the skill level up with SOS costing 10ep each.

I was thinking about trying to build a team of these but those two things are keeping me from attempting it.  Well, that and their current market value...  Every time I get one I trade it off because if the summon rates for them stay where they're at I'll be able to grab a full set of them off the market super cheap in a couple days

Well I am a ftp player, and I am seeing the difficulty in the final evolution. I have been able to get 1 green and 1 blue stone. I only have 2 ex cards so far, so just gonna work those 2 and kinda wait and see where A-team is gonna go with this. I am hoping by the time I can get both the ex monsters I have evolved 4 times, there will be an easier way to skill them up.

How is a How is a ftp player supposed to get an AAA+ formation before dying of old age? In my opinion it is easier to get a Grand Ex Formation then a AAA+ formation.

Of course you have to do a lot of mission bosses to get ehough EP to buy SoS. But be honest how easy is it to get 10 AAA moonsters and the 5 Skill spirits for an AAA+ Team with Skills?!

yes i'm facing the same problem. on the release day of the ex monsters i got 2 red, 2 white and 2 blue stone from 10 normal battles. since then i got nothing. so it will be a long way to get enough stones for all ex.

Stones added to the Event after floor 200

So it would be great if anybody could report on which rate they drop.

Actually I was attempting to be in bewilderment with the crappy requirement of reaching floor 201 to obtain the stones. But hey that's expected from ATeam, eh?

... Oh, and T, yes. The tats are so worth it. (From a Psycho's perspective).

I know the "tats" are worth it, if u have covert or psycho ex

why only if u have Cov or Psy?

I'm averaging 1 drop every 10 floors... and they're not necessarily the good ones.

Maybe I should spare you and the rest who read the forums from the horror of the 'other' Sin EX monsters. :/

After approximately 100 floors, my totals are as follows:

Flesh Stone of Silence (white) - 6
Flesh Stone of Fury (red) - 7
Flesh Stone of Instinct (green) - 13
Flesh Stone of Dignity (purple) - 11
Flesh Stone of Fate (blue) - 5

I left vitality out since easily obtainable and totals probably skewed by my battling ;-)

bah I don't have ep to use to keep going past 200 lvls, I'm near the 200th floor but out of ep :c

I do not remember reading this in an early post, but I have the 3 EX + 2 AA+ in my form currently to try and get more stones per battle. I noticed something during my battle.  Even with the EX as leader the AA+ always went first, then the AA+ of my enemy attacked me and then my stage 3,2,1 EX went next.  Can anyone confirm what I saw? Does the final stages attacked before AA+?
