Bring a Monster Wrangler

Friendly monsters can sometimes flee, but having a party member with the Monster Wrangler class will prevent them from escaping. This class ensures no friendly monster can run, making recruitment easier.

How to Change Vocation

Use Animal Instinct

Monster Wranglers also have an ability called Animal Instinct. This ability not only makes recruitment easier but also helps in finding more friendly monsters along the way.
