Evolving System Guide

[b]WARNING! TYPO! The monster generator is glitched,because when you open it it says "Do you want to exit the evolving system?" Hit yes. All it will do is spawn monsters and it will NOT kick you out. Props if you already knew this,but now you know if you didnt.[/b]
Hullo! This is going to be an evolving system guide! It is still in progress,and will NOT be updated often,because my computer is broken and we only have one computer at the house. I will try to make this guide as in-depth as I can,but no promises lol
[header]So what IS the Evolving System?[/header]
Basically,what the evolving system is,is your personal training ground for level 100-250. You get to it through the Dimensional Mirrior. It came out in GMS on April 3,2013. You can adjust several different things in it with cores (more on that later),including the mobs,the background,the BGM,the drops, and several other things. Of course,every good thing has its limits. There is a 5-time limit,and you can be inside for 30 minutes a day. If you train for all of the 30 minutes 5 times,thats' 2 and a half hours of training! No KSers,no hackers,nobody trying to do anything. It's also a (greatplacetoafk) *le gasp* PARTY PLAY ZONE?. So,if you want to know more, read this guide. Oh,and the map has a neon theme. NOW THAT'S JUST FRIGGIN COOL
[header]Cores[/header]
To change the different settings in your little training grounds,you need these rocks called CORES. Before you can change anything,you have to go to the basic maps and collect cores. You can adjust several different things using these cores. You can hold a maximum of 96 different Cores in your Core Inventory. Cores are basically building blocks to this map. ONCE YOU USE A CORE YOU CANNOT GET IT BACK. Core inventory/interface [url=http://orangemushroom.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/evolving-system-circuitry.gif]Interface/inventory[/url] The one circled in purple that is locked is a special core slot. You unlock it with a mission core. The three locked ones around it arejust regular core slots.
[header2]An Incomplete list of cores[/header2]

Monster Skin core
Map Skin core
[b]Unique Cores[/b]
DISCLAIMER:I have NO idea what kinds of cores there are with these unique cores. I've i've only come across a few before,so feel free to tell me some more of these core names.Methinks that they just add on to the regular effects,like if you had one Party EXP +5% core and then equipped a Unique core with the same stats it would be Party EXP +10%.
Monster Population core
Party EXP core
[header]Story[/header]
Gelimer finds out a way to release Lotus from his experiment cage.Lotus is Orchid's brother. Gelimer orders Lotus to attack Orchid and defeats her,leaving her powerless. She was found and is recuperating in the Edelstein Underground Base. how awkward lol [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Eiqwdh9Poyc]An in-depth video[/url]

[header2]Party Play[/header2]
If you're wondering what Party Play is,its when you get bonus EXP by hunting with a party. To activate party play,you must have a +Party EXP core. When your party members enter for the first time,the party members will recieve a popup showing the stats of your map and it will allow them to cancel within 10 seconds if they change their mind.
[header2]Appearance[/header2]
Without changing the appearance of the mobs or the background,it will look like you're inside of a computer.

[header2]Monster Spawn[/header2]
To spawn mobs,you talk to the Monster Creator. There are mob theme cores that you can buy. Not all mobs are in themes,such as Manon,Griffey,Pianus,the Cygnus instructors,and Cygnus herself. They are spawned using a Threat Fabrication monster core. They will drop some (but not all) of the same items the regular versions do.
[header2]Coin Shop[/header2]
To buy things in the world,you complete quests and hunt monsters to get Evolving Coins that you can trade for Cores,scrolls,secondary weapons,and a Pocket Item called ESS Square.[url=http://www.iaza.com/work/130414C/iaza15802489905200.jpg]Stats (non-potential'd)[/url] You can also buy some of the cores with mesos,but in MOST cases they dont go over 999,999 mesos. The coin store also sells secondary equipments,but they are the highest level and are 400 evolving coins. The store also has scrolls and what is supposedly a mystery SKILL book. I have no idea if this is a typo or not. Please confirm
[header2]Drops[/header2]
I've heard that you can get Manon's Cry in these maps. I am wondering if you can also get other items for quests as well. Grinding for quest items that have a tiny drop rate would be inefficient in my opinion,because you can only stay in there for 30 minutes.
