Is it possible to go dungeon crawling with both a tamed monster and a friendly villagers?

Do you get all the recipes for cooking, forging, crafting, and pharmacies from buying the recipe breads from Porcoline?

If I want large milks-eggs-furs, do I have to raise the levels of my cluckadoodles, woolies, and buffamoos?

How many monster barns can fit on my farm?

How many times could a monster barn be upgraded, and how many monsters could fit in maxed upgraded barn?

Is it possible to raise the levels of the villagers?
1. Yes, see the Gift Guide sticky.
2. Yes
3. No. Some recipes will not be available from recipe breads, but most are.
4. Yes, but they can increase over time. I never bring my buffamoo to batle and it's lv100.
5-6. Dunno, never tried because never needed to.

Btw does anyone know why my Miracle Axe recipe is greyed out even at lv72?
Recipes get greyed out if you don't have enough RP and HP to make it. Do you have full RP?

Question 1: why won't my Mamadoodle produce egg (m)?
Question 2: How does the greeting magic work? As In does it start any conversations or is it just for the heck of it.

Not enough RP, I didn't realize they get greyed out +_+
@Sirzechs Mamadoodle doesn't produce eggs. Only the small chickens do.

Your max RP is too low to forge it. Normally you need to be within 5 levels of the item you are trying to craft if you know the recipe. The current RP you have doesn't matter, its the MAX RP. You can still craft at 0 RP, you just might faint.

Normal recipe breads only work for items under level 80, for everything else (including last level of farm tools), you can find some recipes in chests (usually harder to find) and from eating recipe bread+. Not sure where you get those, I had them appear from random chests before.

1. I don't think so, there isn't even a heart meter with her. I believe she shares one with Dolce
3. You can get all recipes under level 80 as long as you have the appropriately leveled skills from Porco's breads.
4. lvl50+ for (M), lvl100+ for (L)
5. you can fit 2 barns in each field and you can have multiple fields (at least 3)
6. Not sure, but at least 4 times, you can fit 4 monsters per room and each upgrades give an additional room.
7. It is, ask them to go on an adventure with you.

1. This is strange, they should lay 1 egg a day, check the barn more carefully? Is it sick? Tired? Mamadoodles also produce eggs.
2. You use it and you say hello.

That's odd. I could've sworn that the recipe for Greenifier+ got greyed out after I used up all my RP making one.

Is brushing, feeding and giving gifts to produce monsters enough to raise their producing levels, or do I have to raise their levels by having them battle?

What gifts do the woolies, cluckadoodles, and buffamoos like?

I have looked and I seen nothing that tells me what gifts to give to Pico.

Just checked and 0RP crafting was fine for me but it could have greyed out because one of the ingredients ran out.

Pico and Dolce share a FP/LP bar. Dolce likes Puddings, cakes, and medicines.

Nope. I distinctly remember having all the ingredients and wondering why it was greyed out. Maybe a glitch? I was thinking that it greyed out if you didn't have enough RP and HP to support it. Either you still had enough HP left to craft, or I'm wrong. I'm probably wrong. I'll go test it now.

EDIT: I tested it. You were right about that. I must've just been seeing things and it was never greyed out for that. :lol:

Yup, I never bring my pets to battle and I stop brushing them for a while and stopped giving gifts and suddenly it produces (L) stuff.
To tame woolies, cluckadoodles, and bufamoos I just throw them random grasses I find, but as silly as it is, woolies like fur, cluckadoodles likes egg, buffamoos likes milk.

Haha, the mamadoodle is a little weird, mine is long past the stage of producing large eggs but they are still medium. I suspect there's a third requirement besides level and FP where the animal needs to produce a certain amount of the previous tier of items before it advances to the next tier.

Btw my cow and chicken were at 4/5FP and lv100 when it starts producing (L) - I got sick of brushing it and it suddenly produce L one day - was surprised because I thought it had to be 10FP

Btw I just made my first Miracle tool XD tried to get as close to 5lv as you said.
But can you make Miracle tools and lv80+ cooking recipes _without_ the recipes??

So I just did the ending of the first arc & a monster dropped Love Potion.
I'm not familiar with the game, so I'm just wondering how it works?
I'd hate to misuse it :c
