Mount Speed upgrades

This is the one everyone wanted to know. And surprisingly, not all mounts gain a speed increase from upgrading their Partner Skill. In fact, most mounts do not get a speed increase at all. The following mounts are the ONLY ones that do:

Mounted speed Increase (%):

Number	Name	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5
26	Direhowl		10	12	15	20
38	Nitewing		10	12	15	20
42	Arsox		10	12	15	20
59	Reindrix		10	12	15	20
60	Rayhound		10	12	15	20
61	Kitsun		10	12	15	20
65	Surfent		10	12	15	20
65	Surfent Terra		10	12	15	20
93	Fenglope		10	12	15	20
101	Jormuntide		10	12	15	20
108	Paladius		10	12	15	20
109	Necromus		10	12	15	20

All mounts that do get a speed increase from upgrading their Partner Skill gain the exact same amount of speed.

There's been rumors that Direhowl is the only mount to receive a speed increase with Partner skill levels and/or that Direhowl receives a larger speed increase. Both of these rumors are untrue.

The first upgrade (going from Lv.1 to Lv.2) is the biggest increase, giving a substantial 10% increase, and is definitely worth prioritizing considering it only requires 4 duplicate Pals to upgrade it. Lv.3 (+2%) and Lv.4(+3%) give a negligible increase and Lv.5 gives a modest increase (+5%) compared to the previous levels. At Lv.5 the total speed increase is 20%.

Any mount that is NOT on this list does NOT get a speed increase at all. This was most likely done by the developers because the mounts that do not receive a speed increase have other Partner Skill bonuses that do get increased, such as their Active Skill, mounted logging/mining, or mounted damage boosts.

Keep in mind that the base movement speed of each mount differs, so just because a mount does not receive a speed increase from the Partner Skill upgrade does not mean the mount is slow or bad. For example, a Jetragon does not receive a movement speed increase with Partner Skill upgrades but it is still by far the fastest simply because its base movement speed is substantially higher.

Hidden Stat: Player Attack Boost While Mounted (+element type swap)

This is the first set of interesting hidden stats I found. The mounts that swap the player's damage type to an elemental type (e.g., Chillet) also boost the player's attack stat massively. This is not described correctly in-game:

"Can be ridden. Applies <Element> damage to the player's attacks while mounted. "

but really it does this:

• 'Increases the player's attack by X% and additionally changes the player's damage type to <element>.'

This bonus is HUGE. Between 50% (at Lv.1) and 100% (at Lv. 5). And that is on top of the elemental type weakness multiplier that you will also get if you exploit the enemy's elemental weakness. The absolute highest damage you can do in this game with your own player weapons is while riding a mount that gives you the element swap that exploits the enemy's weakness combined with this huge attack increase. This attack increase applies to all sources of damage you deal too.

Player Attack increase (%) + Element Swap:

Number	Name	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5	Element Swap
55	Chillet	50	55	65	80	100	Dragon
56	Univolt	50	55	65	80	100	Electricity
58	Pyrin	50	55	65	80	100	Fire
58	Pyrin Noct	50	55	65	80	100	Dark
66	Maraith	50	55	65	80	100	Dark
73	Beakon	50	55	65	80	100	Electricity
74	Ragnahawk	50	55	65	80	100	Fire
82	Azurobe	50	55	65	80	100	Water
97	Helzephyr	50	55	65	80	100	Dark

• Frostallion and Frostallion Noct both also swap the player's damage type to ice and dark (respectively), without an attack bonus.

Hidden Stat: Player Attack Boost + Element Swap for non-mounts

Similar to the above, the non-mount Pals that grant the player an <element> type swap to their attacks also give an attack boost to the player's attacks as well when the Pal is active. However, this bonus is substantially smaller than the mounted bonus.

Player Attack Increase (%):

Number	Name	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5	Element Swap
21	Nox	5	6	7	8	10	Dark
76	Wixen	5	6	7	8	10	Fire
100	Anubis	5	6	7	8	10	Earth

• Verdash grants an element swap to grass but with a move speed bonus to itself and to the player (20|22|26|32|40%) instead of an attack increase.

Carry Weight

Weight Increase (+value):

Number	Name	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5
2	Cattiva	50	60	70	80	90
63	Lunaris	80	90	100	110	120
86	Broncherry	100	110	120	130	140
86	Broncherry Aqua	100	110	120	130	140
89	Kingpaca	100	110	120	130	140
89	Ice Kingpaca	100	110	120	130	140
91	Wumpo	120	130	140	150	160
91	Wumpo Botan	120	130	140	150	160

Drop-Rate Bonus for <Element Type>

Increase (%) to Drop Rate:

Number	Name	Enemy <Element>	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5
11	Penking	Fire	40	50	60	70	80
75	Katress	Normal	40	50	60	70	80
78	Vaelet	Earth	40	50	60	70	80
80	Elphidran	Dark	40	50	60	70	80
80	Elphidran Aqua	Fire	40	50	60	70	80
83	Cryolinx	Dragon	40	50	60	70	80
84	Blazehowl	Leaf	40	50	60	70	80
84	Blazehowl Noct	Normal	40	50	60	70	80
99	Menasting	Electricity	40	50	60	70	80
105	Faleris	Ice	40	50	60	70	80
106	Orserk	Water	40	50	60	70	80

The drop rate boosting pal must active to benefit from this bonus.

I believe this stat is a percentage increase (e.g., Lv.1 = 40% increase = 1.4 multiplier) to the 'Drop Rate' of the item. If the modified drop rate exceeds 100% it will roll the drop more than once. Example: A Foxsparks has a 100% chance to drop exactly 1 leather normally. With a Partner Skill Lv.1 Penking the drop rate is boosted to 140% (100% * 1.4). Since this exceeds 100%, you are guaranteed 1 leather plus you have a 40% chance to get 1 additional leather. I believe it works this way because during my testing (with Lv1 Penking vs. Foxsparks) i received 1 leather about half the time and 2 leather the other half of the time. If it was simply boosting the quantity dropped by 1.4x (opposed to boosting the drop rate) then I believe the game would have to round to either 1 leather or 2 leather every time, which would not have matched my test results. Further testing required.

Mounted Element Boost

Percent increase to <element type> damage.

Number	Name	Element Type	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5
52	Grintale	Normal	50	55	65	80	100
64	Dinossom	Leaf	50	55	65	80	100
64	Dinossom Lux	Electricity	50	55	65	80	100
95	Quivern	Dragon	50	55	65	80	100
96	Blazamut	Fire	50	55	65	80	100
101	Jormuntide Ignis	Fire	50	55	65	80	100
102	Suzaku	Fire	50	55	65	80	100
102	Suzaku Aqua	Water	50	55	65	80	100
107	Shadowbeak	Dark	50	55	65	80	100
110	Frostallion	Ice	50	55	65	80	100
110	Frostallion Noct	Dark	50	55	65	80	100

This bonus is ambiguously explained by the in-game description. This bonus applies to both the mounted Pal and the trainer. If the trainer has an attack that matches the element type bonus it will get boosted too. The important part though is that the Pal itself receives this bonus as well. Meaning a mounted pal with this bonus will do 50% up to 100% more damage with their attacks that match the element bonus type. This makes using these Pals as combat mounts (with manual ability usage) especially powerful - better than letting them fight automatically.

Synergy: Frostallion and Frostallion Noct both also swap the player's damage type to ice and dark (respectively), just without the attack increase that typically comes along with that. This means the player's attacks would fully benefit from the elemental damage boost of 50%-100%. This makes Frostallion good for both mounted player damage and mounted pal damage.

Party Buffs

These bonuses apply to any matching Pal (that matches the "Condition") in your party. The buffer only needs to be in your party to apply these bonuses to your active Pal. The bonuses stack additively if you have multiple buffers.

Attack increase (%) to matching <element type> pals in party:

Number	Name	Condition	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5	Type
7	Sparkit	Electric Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
9	Rooby	Fire Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
15	Hoocrates	Dark Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
18	Cremis	Normal Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
30	Bristla	Leaf Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
39	Ribunny	Normal Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
43	Dumud	Earth Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
50	Beegarde	Elizabee in party (buff)	12	13	15	19	24	Attack and Defense
53	Swee	Sweepa in party (buff)	12	13	15	19	24	Attack and Defense
57	Foxcicle	Ice Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
81	Kelpsea	Water Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
81	Kelpsea Ignis	Fire Pal in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack

^{Notice Beegarde and Swee increase both attack and defense, the others only increase attack.}

These bonuses stack additively with themself and with other sources of attack/defense bonuses. For example, if you were to make a party with 1 Sweepa and 4 Lv.5 Swee buffing it, each granting a +24% attack/defense bonus, you would have a total bonus of +96% attack and +96% defense to your Sweepa. This is a remarkably high stat bonus.

Making a full team of buffers combined with one strong active Pal is the way to make the absolute strongest single Pal you can. Combine that with the 'Mounted Element Boost' above (for an additional 100% damage increase) to deal the highest possible Pal damage. 4 Foxicle + 1 Frostallion (mounted) is probably the highest Pal damage possible outside of special moves like the Penguin launcher (but hey, you can combine the Penguin with 4 Kelpsea to make that even better too!).

Gobfin and Gobfin Ignis buff the player's attack and these do stack as well.

Player attack increase (%):

31	Gobfin	Trainer in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack
31	Gobfin Ignis	Trainer in party (buff)	10	11	13	16	20	Attack

Hidden Stat: Sweepa and Elizabee Attack Bonus

Contrary to what the in-game description states, Sweepa and Elizabee's Partner Skill has absolutely nothing to do with the Swee and Beegarde buffs that can be applied to them. The party buff these two Pals receive from Swee and Beegarde only gains power through Partner Skill upgrades on the Swee and Beegarde - NOT on Sweepa or Elizabee.

Both Sweepa and Elizabee have a 'hidden' Partner Skill that simply increases their attack as you upgrade it. That's it, nothing else. Nothing to do with Swee or Beegarde. You don't even need a single Swee or Beegarde in your party to benefit from Sweepa/Elizabee's Partner Skill upgrade.

Sweepa and Elizabee Attack increase (%):

Number	Name	Lv1	Lv2	Lv3	Lv4	Lv5
51	Elizabee		5	6	7	8
54	Sweepa		5	6	7	8

At Lv.2 they get a 5% attack bonus. At Lv.5 this increases to 8%.

Farming Animals

Upgrading the Partner Skill of the farming Pals increases the number of items they find. They have a min and a max amount of the items they can find, formatted as (min,max) in the table below:

Farming Finds (min,max):

70	Flambelle	FindFireOrgan	1,1	1,2	1,3	1,4	1,5
79	Sibelyx	FindCloth	1,1	1,2	1,3	1,4	1,5

 

Example: A Melpaca at Lv.1 will find between 2 and 3 wool each time they find an item. At Lv.5 they will find between 2 and 6.

Vixy is more complicated and can find 4 different items. At level 4 and 5 Vixy starts finding Mega Pal Spheres in addition to the normal Spheres. At all levels Vixy can find Pal Spheres, Arrows, or Gold.

Vixy Finds (min,max):

Partner Skill Lv.	Item1	#	Item2	#	Item3	#	Item4	#
Lv.1	FindPalSphere	1,1	FindArrow	1,1	FindMoney	10,10
Lv.2	FindPalSphere	1,2	FindArrow	1,2	FindMoney	10,20

Other interesting stats

Ribunny's work speed bonus applies to the weapon workbench and weapon assembly I and II.

The mounted bonus to logging/mining only applies to the Pal itself and not the player. Using your pickaxe from the back of a mount gets no bonus.

Gumoss gives a 10 |11|13|16|20% increase to player logging.

Life Steal from Lovander and Felbat heals for 2|3|4|5|6% of damage dealt.

The Weakspot damage bonus from Robinquill and Vanwyrm is increased by 20|22|26|32|40%. Note: you must be mounted for Vanwyrm's weakspot bonus to apply; Robinquill's applies while active.

Warsect's Partner Skill's description is incorrect. It does not make the player's attack fire. Instead, it increases the player's fire resistance by 5|6|7|8|10%.

Gorirat's attack bonus while berserk is massive: 50|75|110|150|200%. Potentially has amazing damage scaling at rank 5 with +200% attack. Only applies to 'shot attack' skills, not melee skills.

• Power is the Power of the skill, same as any other skill. For some of these it might appear low but that's because those skills hit very rapidly. The skills with very high power hit once or fire slowly. Going from Lv.1 to Lv.5 doubles the power of these Active Skills, which will result in about twice the damage (depending on enemy defense).

• Multi is a damage multiplier. The skills with a multi aren't only Active Skills, they're also skills that can be used as part of the normal skill set. However, the Pals that have them as Active Skills will start off dealing 10% increased damage (1.1x multi) with them and then that scales up by level, up to 150% increased damage (2.5x multi) at Lv.5. This is a very substantial increase in damage.

• The heals are a flat amount. You get healed for exactly the listed value.Range is map units.

• I'm not really sure how Depresso's Active scales. It is shown as a 'Speed Multiplier' but a 10x speed multi at Lv.5 seems excessive. Any Depresso fans want to test out the speed at Lv.5? It's probably pretty fast.

MaxSpeed is probably the speed it naturally moves you at when starting from a dead stop. When you first open it your speed is probably accelerated up to that max speed. However, you can move faster than these speeds because the glider uses your current velocity when you open it, so things like grapple gun can be used to boost the speeds. Hangu's speed is bad by default, but combined with your own run speed (500), slide speed (up to 1500) or the grapple gun you can make it better. Gravity Scale is how fast you fall. The lower it is the slower you fall. StamDrain is stamina per second I believe. The two values with question marks are my best guess and are possibly wrong. All the others should be correct.
