I'm a bit confused...
Let's take foie. According to the Ep 1 and 2 tech guide, the formula for damage is:
1-15: 50*(Lvl - 1)+110
16-30: 65*(Lvl - 1)-85

So, level 1 foie has a power of 110, level 4 has a power of 260. Level 16 has a power of 890, and 19 has a power of 1085. And MST has no bearing on damage at all? Except, I know it does...So, what's the deal?
