A Speculative Mag Nature Guide (Read and help!)

[AVHero]

Okay, upon doing a bit of experimentation, I have come up with a hypothesis as to how mag natures work. If other people could help me test this out so I'm not spending all day trying out mag natures and whatnot, I would appreciate it.

Refer to this table to see what I mean. Hopefully we can get our own guide with the exact NA Translations on here. When natures are listed in this threat, the NA name will be listed first, followed by this guide's translation in parentheses.

Natures are sorted into four categories: Offensive, Defensive, Restorative, and Miscellaneous. Mags acquire a nature at level 10. Their nature will be the lowest of these 4 categories upon reaching level 10. They are Playful(Naughty), Timid(Shy), Healing(Soothing), and Hungry(Gluttonous). (Thanks to Phoenix_Black for this info). If you know what nature you want for your mag, this is the most important information you need to know. From what I can gather, the category never changes. So, if you want an Offensive type mag, it needs to be Playful(Naughty) when it reaches level 10. I am still unsure as to how this is determined. It may be random.

Mags will retain this lowest form until their 4th evolution. Upon evolving, the mag will obtain one of the other 2 natures in your category. So, in the Offensive category, Playful(Naughty) Mags will either become Ruffian(Rough), or Cautious(Discrete).

Now, once they have obtained one of these two natures, you can swap between either one. This is what the "to change personality
consecutively feed 5" in the above link means. It means to change TO that nature, you need to feed it 5 of the item. So, in our recurring example, if you have a Playful(Naughty) mag, and it became Cautious(Discrete), you can make it a Ruffian(Rough) mag by feeding it 5 Hunter or 5 Ranger weapons in a row. You can swap back and forth any time by feeding it the appropriate item 5 times in a row.

So, based on this experimentation, I'm going to start a list of what I think are the NA translation natures. This only hold if my speculations are correct.

Offensive Mag Type:
First nature: Playful(Naughty)
Second natures: Ruffian(Rough), and Cautious(Discrete)

Defensive Mag Type:
First nature: Timid(Shy)
Second natures: Obstinate(Obstinate), and Anxious(Worried)

Restorative Mag Type:
First nature: Healing(Soothing)
Second natures: Breezy(Relaxed), and Melancholy(Lonely)

Miscellaneous Mag Type:
First nature: Hungry(Gluttonous)
Second natures: Eccentric(Eccentric), and Fickle(Moody)

Thanks to Phoenix_Black, zetagear, Tempo and slimer1231 for the help.
There you have it. If I think of anything else I'll let you guys know. Also, if you have anything to contribute, PM me or post here.

Good stuff, I'm going to raise an Offensive mag... No more searching for a Ruffian!

thanks for posting this. I glad I haven't started raising a serous mag yet.

My level 100 pure mind, Rappy mag has a personality of Breezy.
I mostly fed it tech weapons.

Do you remember what its initial Nature was?

Do you remember what its initial Nature was?

I was trying to recall that...I can see about starting another
one to see if I get the same result (and keep track of the
natures).

My mag was hungry in the low lvls but now it's nature is fickle at lvl 100 (i raised it pure ATP). What exactly do the natures determine? Or is it kind of unknown?

A Mag's nature determines what it will do under certain circumstances (low HP, boss fight, full PB Bar, player death).

Fickle, eh? That seems to associate with moody...I'm about to have a mag up there, so I will play with it and determine which is which in a little bit.

Tempo...can you do me a favor? Can you save your game, and then purchase/feed your mag 5 Force or 5 Hunter weapons, and tell me what nature it becomes? You can then quit game without saving.

If you could, it would be greatly appreciated!
