Clearing up the confusion on Farmiliar Monsters

[b]I've been seeing alot of confusion on 'Familiar Cards' so I'm gonna explain it here.[/b]

[b]What are Familiar Cards?[/b]
Familiar Cards are basically the same thing as Monster Card, but you are able to summon the monster to assist you.
Familiar Cards [b]Are tradable[/b] when it is unused
Familiar Cards last for [b]30Days[/b] After you use it
If you have more than one Familiar card you may stack them to extend the expiration � date, and Vitality. [b]Max 3[/b]
To use them simply double click on them.
Once you use them you must name them.
[b]You cannot use a familiar monster that has a higher lvl than you[/b]

[b]Where can I find them[/b]
Certain Monster drops them
Starter Booster pack in Cs - 2.5k Nx�
Booster Pack in Cs - 5.5k Nx
[b]You can obtain every single monster EXCEPT Major bosses that takes up 4/5 of the map.......[/b]
if you were thinking of summoning a Horntail... [b]NICE TRY[/b]

[b]Hunting for specific cards[/b]
Unfortunately only about 1/10 of the monsters in your codex drop Familiar card
Look in your codex and see if the monster you are looking for drops their Familiar cards
Familiar Card drops at a very low rate.
If the monster your hunting doesn't drop the [b]Only other way to obtain it, is to gamble on booster back or buy them from someone[/b]
It's been confirm that 3 Bosses drops Familiar card, [b]the rest you can obtain from booster packs[/b].�
Eliza, Empress Cygnus, and Sinshoo are the 3 bosses that can be obtain from drops

[b]Vitality[/b]
Basically a monster's stamina
Vitality goes down every time your monster attacks
Once vitality runs out your monster disappears, Simply wait a couple of minutes for Vitality to recharge itself
Each time you stack another card your monster gets an extra Vitality orb. [b]Max 3[/b]

[b]Summoning Monsters[/b]
To summon your monster go to you crusader codex
Go to your Familiar section
Double click on your monster to summon it.
Your monster will disappear when you � Enter Fm/Pvp, Soar on mount, and Change channels.
Monsters will not disappear when you Change maps, Enter/Exit Cs and Mts.

[b]I will update this regularly, any question/comments feel free to PM me or Post below[/b]

I hope this helps clarify this for you guys!

[b]I was actually hunting at stronghold for hours trying to get the BlazeWiz's Familiar card till I found out it doesn't drop.. Only obtainable through Booster Pack[/b] >.<
[b] � just wanted to make this guide to make sure that doesn't happen to you guys! Have fun![/b]

[b]Update 10/31/11[/b]
There seems to be a glitch for� Vitality.
It seems quite a few monsters aren't� Vitality aren't recharging.
[b]-My Experience:[/b]
The server crashed while I had my rombot out, when I logged back on the Vitality was depleted, and will not recharge.
[b]-Other Mapler's experience:[/b]
Logging out while their monster was summoned glitches your monster
Changing channels with your monsters glitches certain monsters
Entering CS glitches certain monsters.
[b]-Conclusion:[/b]
Try to avoid doing those activity while your monster is out to prevent the risk of you monster getting glitch.

This really outrage me since I bought my rombot for 50m.
The Vitality isn't restoring, but the expiration date is still depleting
Anyways I hope you guys are having fun with your familiars.
