Errantries shorten lifespan, but really not that much provided you stuff your monster with mint leaves and rest him as soon as he gets back, and he doesn't fail at any of the errantries or get hurt badly in a battle with errantry monsters. My first undine lived til five years and had every move except 2 before I combined her (she was first generation and started with 3 moves)

An errantry will probably decrease your lifespan from 1 - 4 weeks (max). I treat errantries as regular training. I always do as many as I can within stage 2 and the later parts of stage 3 until I can't do anymore. It doesn't matter if its 2nd, 3rd,... gen or not. I always try to get every tech. However, 2nd,3rd,... gens benefit from the added techs of the 1st gen.

Basically, your next generation monster will live longer because of the added lifespan through combining and the less of a need to waste time in errantries(even though they're really not that bad).

Here's a tip: Send your monster to errantry at the beginning of the month. Make sure you feed it a tablet before and after you come back from errantry. Nut oil and rest the following week. That'll reduce lifespan loss(due to stress) considerably. However, the lifespan loss from fatigue can't be helped. (doesn't matter if your monster likes tablet or not, still relieves ALOT of stress).

Well, my Undine learned techs. pretty quickly. I say, have her learn alot of techs. when she is either d or c class. And go to the speed errantry. She can learn a variety of techs. there. As for errantry shortening lifespan, I don't think it does. But if you fight an strong errantry monster and it KOes you, or your monster gets injured or sick early in errantry, it may shorten lifespan alittle. I hope this helps you. :-)

I got my first undine and raised it for four years about every third month doing an errantry when one was available(after it was 1 year old first)then I got a siren off a disk and kept it evil still raising it like I did my first one. Both monsters lived close to 4 years then I combined them got a pure undine after it was 1 year I went and got ice coffin and hail storm (these somehow where left out in cross-breeding)and was able to beat the legends for the first time with my fair Maidan .It is in the freezer at 5 years 4 months without any peaches.
