Plattym3 2,038 Posted February 1, 2017 This is a quest that gives badges to ALL that try and greatly rewards us all by building photos for the Den's database! Woodus came to me with this idea that we all pool together and get a bunch of photos of the DQVIII monsters walking around the DQVIII world. Since you can't screen capture the monster book easily, but thanks to Cameron, you can while walking around! We'd love to have nice photos taken of all monsters and you can help and earn a badge for doing so. Here's what you need to do: 1. Take a head-on, or as close as possible, shot of a monster in DQVIII just hanging out. 2. Get it off your SD card somehow - plopping it in your computer and looking at the DCIM folder for example. 3. Post the full-size photo here along with monster name and monster number That's is! Prized badges will be awarded as such: Bronze - 5+ monster portraits Silver - 15+ monster portraits Gold - 25+ monster portraits Plattynum - 50+ monster portraits I'm not going to put an end date here, but let's try to finish up by July. We'll see if we're even still getting submissions then. Remember, we want nice, clean screenshots. Don't use a cell phone, don't take pictures from the side, don't forget name and number (and I'm drawing a blank here)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 I will be working on 61-80 as well. I'm having a ton of fun doing this, so I'll keep at it, if no one else will. I'm getting closer to the halfway mark for the whole bestiary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodus 1,428 Posted February 2, 2017 Dang, you are going to run away with this, how are you getting the boss shots? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 Dang, you are going to run away with this, how are you getting the boss shots? When you go to the Battle Records and look at the defeated monster list, you can look at the model by pressing 'A' on the name. You can cycle through their animations too. I save the image from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 61-80 are now done. I will work on 81 to 100 next, but I'm going to take a break for a bit before I start. Lunch and all of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 I think Bururian has proven to be the true hero for this quest. I don't know why, but I find this really fun. I'm getting near the point where I'll have to advance the story to have access to new monsters to catalog. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm getting near the point where I'll have to advance the story to have access to new monsters to catalog. I find this quest a great idea myself. I just don't have the means to upload or post proper quality pictures on the den, which is why I always leave links in these quests. Regardless, you are doing an awesome job with the uploads, so keep it up and keep showing us your PASSION and GUSTO! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I replaced the Cannibox bestiary entry with a character model on the field, since one of the infamous monsters uses a Cannibox model. I also replaced the Gold Nugcat since my original picture had a shot of the Hero in it. All Bosses to this point I had to pull from the bestiary since I didn't start on this until after the Dhoulmagus fight. I'm going to try my hardest to get a good screen of Evil Jessica. Mumboh-Jumboh was really hard to do since I had to time his attacks so there was no text on the screen. Edited February 2, 2017 by Bururian 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 509 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Okay. That's 118 I've done in total since last night at around 9pm. I may attempt some more later, but for now, I'm gonna take a break. I've been at this nearly all day. Edited February 2, 2017 by Bururian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love this idea of doing that because it's a hard thing to do normally. It will slow down because I'm near where I need to advance the story to get to new regions. I have to fight Evil Jessica next. I'm ever so close to a Triple Plattynum badge, too ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eal 2,202 Posted February 3, 2017 I honestly just think we should leave it all to Bururian and just give him a really nice badge or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 2,856 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) We need to get him a Goddess Ring or whatever accessory stops all encounters. Either that or a coupon for Le Club Puff Puff. Edited February 3, 2017 by YangustheLegendaryBandit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
