Your first (20) monster.

So after a few days of actually trying, I got my Selene+ to IPA(20)
I can't properly convey how uber excited I am!!!!
I feel exuberant! I bought her at (9) and on my way to (20) she only ate 3-4 stacks which doesn't seem too bad. Though I do wish I had those 12 EP back XD

But it got me thinking, what was every else's first max skill monster and how did they feel upon receiving it?
Was it purchased that way? Were they a pain and eating stack after stack?
How was your first one? ;-)

Beelzebub+m(20).

Got it as A+ from a trade, and just wanted to max the skill since it was cheap... made all the stacks myself and painstakingly got to (20). I remember trading all my other skill singles for venom at 1:3 ratios.. everybody wanted to dump their poison frogs on me

Edit: btw Venom(20) is deadly against A's... my Beelz served me well so I still have him stashed away in my inventory

nice!
I recently removed Beelz from my 5x Winged Combo in favor of pit. My attack seriously tanked but the agility is a lifesaver.
I think I got Venom up to about (7) before I ditched him. I heard Venom (20) is a monster! it does tons of damage and never misses, so I've heard.

Felt happy since i started it from (1).

That's nice!
Next skill I max will probably be Dawn's DED.
Is DEA(20) Decrease by 25%?

Blazing Dragonoid+ Crit (20)...

though i dun see the usefulness of Critical Rate...

hmmm?
Does Crit up apply to the entire team or just to the monster that possesses the skill?

Saw a guy auctioning off a Selene+ Skill Changed to Crit. Was confused, but I guess if someone already had the stronger Sekhmet, but still wanted to use Selene+ in the party for the Prestige then skill changing her is the logical move to prevent skill overlaps. But at least make it a useful skill, amirite?

My fist skill 20 was my quezacotl, with impulse down to 20 red teams were piece of cake to defeat

Lindwurm agility....yea I was stoked...of course I failed twice at 19 to 20

Lewd Twist just got it last night preemptive (20)

Just got my nwd+ Max to (20) this morning. Did it from two regular A's bought about a week ago. Short lived excitement after realizing I had 4 other monsters halfway there or less.

My first was typhon, then sdd. I was very excited.

a skill-changed carbuncle+m(20) slumber

not even kidding. I saw one being sold on rank and IMMEDIATELY had to have it

yeah it has zero resale and actual value, but how many people can say they have a carbuncle+m(20)?

It's like having a clothespin carved from the wood of the true cross

That's impressive cause that shit's expensive. Hat's off to you, sir

I still have yet to max agility on any of my forms. I'm not sure if i want to max DCC next or Dawn. Dawn would be cheaper, but higher agility should always be a priority

My Lewd is at (7) right now. I'm avoiding skilling him because I hope to replace him soon with either SDD or Victoria.

+1 to this. I woke up this morning nowhere near as excited as I was last night.

I don't know what to say to that. The only think that could be more useless would be a Green Knight Kobold with Slumber (20). Still very much impressive, though from the few days starting out I was rocking a Naga I dont ever recall slumbering working

my first monster ever was wwsp which was also the first i lvled to +m20, interestingly my second was daji+ followed by valk then wwe,now i just sell all my skill stacks(so they dont take up space) and simply buy back at same price(or lower)when i want to lvl something

First was Pit+ which I got as two regs, evolved and leveled. Only lost 2 stacks getting to 20.

LMAO - best thing i've read in a while.

I forget how far back I bought it, I just know I got it cheap at the time for 95 ep, my first (20) monster was asura+m(20), I got him and 20 bp for 95 ep. My second (20) was sdm+m, leveled myself. My latest (20) is my pit+, purchased with (6) and leveled myself, lol.

I envy your luck!

85EP for Asura+m(20)? Assuming bp was 2:1 at the time
Wouldn't have ever expected him to be that much even for max skill, unless it was during the event where he was a prog

No, the guy said the bp was free. This was in the days before mobius, when a pit+m(20) was worth 140 ep, max skill monsters were rare-ish, and a dru reg went for 75 ep, lol. Back then 20 bp was worth 4 ep, there were no bp events.

Oh damn. Didn't know skills were ever that rare.
I started just as the Den of Woe began.

Why was BP so cheap? Were there no good battle ranking rewards?

Bp was only useful for ranking, nothing else, and they had just had a few weeks with sucky rewards. They have only just started offering spirits again.

Oh ok. lol
Would it be cheaper to manually upgrade my Death Call Covenant+m(6) to (20) or to trade it and some ep for a +m(20)?

Devil of Endless Night+ was my first to (20)

I remember how stoked I was when I got her with skill (5) from auctioning off a 16 BP AA dragon lol.

I just recently sold her for a flame kag+m(4) and about 25 EP. Not like I need flame kag anymore, but he's a good bargaining chip to have lying around.

I got my DoEN+ at skill lvl 5 as well. I got it through an auction, I was new to the game and I'm pretty sure I extremely overpayed for the little hoe, but I still love her!
