Well from browsing the guide section i havnt seen one of these, so i decided id take a shot at my own, this guide is to cover the questions such as "best room for piping so and so" ill include pictures to show which rooms are the best for piping.

The rate for a rare monster is 1/512
Link to rare monsters page (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=419)

The Fake In Yellow (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=446) - Click for Quest Guide

This quest is used to find enermys such as Al Rappy and Pal rappys, its well used because of the abundance of Rag rappys/el rappys.

Light blue rooms indercate the route if you are going to be doing runs, runs have an advantage over piping because more experience is gained while you kill the monsters.

Yellow rooms indercate the piping rooms, advantages of piping over runs is that you dont have to stop and start the quest as often and is faster to find the rare monsters in some cases.

*Please note that the room indercated with two 7's does not mean that both seven spawns will apear at the same time, you must kill the first spawn to make the second spawn apear.

Forest of sorrow (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=467) - Click for Quest Guide

forest of sorrow is a bit different to the fake in yellow, as in the fake in yellow there is no other monsters other than rappys, in this quest there will be others, but also alot of hildebears/hildelts, its used to find monsters such as hildeblues/hildetorrs.
Click here for enemy counts (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=653) if you would like to know the other monsters that are in this quest.

Light blue rooms as before indicate the route for runs which as before has the advatage of having experience a larger experience gain.

Yellow rooms indicate piping rooms which is the easyer way to find the desired rare monster.

*please not that the yellow room WILL NOT have 6 monsters in at first or any time, when you first enter the room do not kill the two hildebears/hildets that are there, walk further into the room and a third monster will jump in, kill this one, and as before another will jump in, kill thatone also, once thatone is dead two more will jump in, making a room of 4.


Addicting Food (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=795) - Click for quest guide

Addicting food is used for finding rare monsters such as nar/mil lilly because there an be large amount of ob/poison lillys found at one time.

Doing runs for mil/nar lillys in addicting foods isnt a good choice, there are hundeds of other monsters making it longer to do the runs.

The yellow room is the highest amount of lillys i could find at one time, i still have not found the 9 spawn. (if sombody could please copy the image and show me i would be greatfull)


Addicting Food (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=795) - Click for quest guide

Addicting foods is also used for finding Pouilly Slime's for the simple reason that it is the only quest with more than one slime which spawns at a single time.

Doing runs for Pouilly Slime's in addicting foods isnt a good choice, there are hundeds of other monsters making it longer to do the runs.

The yellow room is the only room which will have a spawn of two Pouifully Slime's at a single time, to pipe for the Pouilly Slime you must use an untekked wepon to split the Pouifully Slime's. use the special attack of the wepon (prefferably a handgun of some sort) twice, then use the single normal attack, this will split the Pouifully Slime into two, then three then to the maximum of four, do this to both slimes so there would be 8 slimes crawling about, if none are the slime you are hunting tele pipe back to P1 and then back down and repeat the process.

*Please note that NO slimes must die in the process of splitting, if one does and you find an red slime the drop would have already counted to have been dropped(if the red slimes root slime was killed)

FAQ

When hunting rappys, if you find the desired rappy, you fire at it and it runs, if you hit it before it can disapear, it WILL drop a box, weather it is the item you want is down to chance.

If a monster has a 1/2 chance of a drop, this doesnt NOT mean that if you kill one and it doesnt drop, the next one will, it is simply like flipping a coin, down to chance.

All rare monsters have a 1/512 chance of apearing, weather it apears or not is also down to chance, it does not mean that if you pipe a single enemy 512 times one will apear.

Heh, not to kill your fun or anything Clark....but I think this has already been done http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Tycho and Kefka's Guide to Enemy Locations (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2296) not only lists where to pipe for rare monsters, but also lists what quests/where to find the most numerous of a certain type of enemy. I applaud your efforts to bolster the PSOW database though. Tycho and Kefka just beat you to the chase.

yeah i did see that but i saw that as meerly an enermy listing where to find basicly all monsters, this is for runs and piping, that guide wasnt that much help for finding the 9 spawn of lillys, i feel this guide could also be added to make it easyer for people to find the best places to cut down there piping time.

Blue slime also spawns twice in Soul of a Blacksmith quest. It's near the end though.

For the lilies you have to run a circle around the room into the closed door.

here's the map for the 9-spawn lilies in waterfall tears cave 2 (for the cave 1 map, just look here (http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=797));

just follow the red dotted line.
when you enter the room, don't kill any of the lilies that spawn, since they are 5 of the 9 you'll be telepiping, and just walk to the door to your right: when you touch it, 4 more will spawn.
also, for the easiest telepipe, you just line yourself up in the corner between the door you entered from and the door you touched to get the 4 extra lilies, so you've got all 9 in you line of sight immediately - i've marked this place with an X. also, be sure to equip 4 resist/devil before entering the room just in case. i won't be adding a map for runs of this level since runs of addicting food are better.
p.s. watch out for the traps in the room with the lilies

Those aren't the only rare monsters right? Is there any good options for those other ones? And what about Ep 2? Also, I've heard piping can be bad for your Gamecube's and probably X-box's too, disc reader.
