Where to find the recipe for the monitor

[Just Some Random Kid]

As the title suggests, is there a specific place to find the recipe or just the monitor itself so I can steal it? Wanted to get an incubator and I have everything else including the computer recipe but can't seem to get a monitor.

You could exchange tickets for a monitor, if you go to a town that has one.
But, otherwise it's either randomly learn it, or try to learn the recipe by disassembling a monitor in a town (-1 Karma) while having at least level 20 Blacksmith skill.

See I couldn't find one which was the main problem.

You have an increased chance of learning the recipe when you make something in the same category (its category is Mech, so Pipes and pretty much everything that consumes power that isn't lighting). I think you also have a chance to learn it when disassembling things of the same category. There's lots of microwaves in Palmia, and pipes and heaters in M+G's Workshop.
In order to randomly learn the recipe you need to be close enough in crafting discipline level (I think within 5) of the recipe level, which for Monitor is 25 Blacksmithing.

Y'know, I had no idea there weren't monitors in the various towns.
Computers and TVs, sure.
Aquli Teola was a huge disappointment, I really expected there to be one there.

I guess I must've learned the recipe randomly, I did make a LOT of Pipes while training Blacksmith, if that's where I learned it.

Unless it was just sold by a Furniture vendor and I bought and broke one down that way.

Save your gold bars and just buy it from nino in Tinker camp.

Buy what from him? He doesn't have the recipe for Monitor, nor a Monitor itself.

the recipe it not necessary, crafting the incubator requires PC and he need monitor to craft one.
I've no idea where did I get the recipe, guess it's from the wheel shrine or Nefia boss chest.

Quiet Beach actually just straight up has a Computer.
You'll need a good amount of Strength + Sleight of Hand for it though. It weighs 5.9s, so you need (1 + STR/10 + SoH/5 > 5.9)

Honestly this is straight super useful. Had no clue what the formula for sleight of hand was so thank you.

One way is to find the luck statue dungeon/fishing, get fragrance of goddess key, then go drink at fountain after that type in the wish box "incubator" so there you go.

Yea but wishes are so valuable that if you can avoid using it on something like this then that's preferable. I managed to get it thanks to the previous post. Still would like to get the recipe eventually though.

Hopefully you'll eventually stumble upon the recipe for the Monitor, even if you don't need one right now anymore.

Another way is to just smelt ore into bar, hammer it to get ore back, you also want to raise the blacksmith potential at Olvina trainer to speed up the training, do it until level 20. Then steal/trade 2 tickets with TV within one of the house in Palmia, it made of chromite which if you can't break it with hammer, you can find material change hammer from shrines, scum hammer it until you'll get the monitor recipe.
