Carding

Carding

Carding is the way most people in dmo get evoluters, digicores, back up disks and make money. I will go over each level of monster card and boss card, listing the kill order, loot and what level you should be to kill them. 

Carding parties are the best way to kill normal cards and you don't have to use as many supplies. Good carding parties will set the obtainment method to free obtainment and the summoner of the card gets all the loot. If you don't trust the party you're with then you can attack all the monsters first and then the party helps kill them. A good idea is to have one of your party to have a "spotter"; unfortunately people will try to steal your cards by attacking them so they will get the loot. A way to get them to leave you alone is by summoning a card level that will kill them or they won't attack. Most people with a digimon under lvl 55 will be killed by a Monster Card Level 6. Sometimes boss card digimon will randomly appear when you summon a normal card, so I will mention this in each category. 

What to Card With?
A good carding digimon will usually have strong, low cd skills with high attack. Most data types work well, I will list a few note-able carding digimon.
Any Of the Jogress
Fujinmon
Kuzuhamon
Paladin Mode/Fighter Mode
Z'dGarurumon
Ophanimon
Ulforce Veemon
Armageddemon


Where to Card? 
A good carding place is small/enclosed area and out of sight of most people. This allows the monsters to be kept in a small area and less chance of people stealing from you. I will list a few good places but you can card virtually anywhere.

Western Village: The Cliff: This place is one of the most popular places to card because of a bug there. To get to it, you go between the Starmon and the warehouse/scanner Chessmon where you will see the edge of the area. In order to "Cliff Summon" you must go as far as possible, then go down to where it looks like you will fall off the cliff. You then summon your card where it may take up to 3 minutes for the first monster to appear. This bug causes the monsters to appear very slowly, giving you more time to kill them. The downside to this spot is that it's in an area where there are a lot of people and so stealing happens a lot.

Western Village: By the Togemon Leaders: To get here either follow the cliff side by the Togemon or go down the path that Renamon are. This place doesn't have many people going by it and keeps the monsters in a small area.

Silver Lake: By the Palmon: If you look on the map there is a little dead end are by the merchants and the palmon. Not many people come around this area, but it costs 20 m to come here. There are other small places in Silver Lake to also card if you look on the map.

Silent Forest: There is no specific place here, but there are a lot of little empty areas; but it also costs 20 m to get here.

Frozen Ground: This place is empty almost all the time so you can summon without much worry of stealers; it  does cost 10m to get here.

Skill vs. No Skill
Some people believe that by not using any skills on a monster card, they will get better loot. I have killed 1000's of monster cards and from what I can tell  there is no real difference in loot if you use no skills or skills. If using no skills add a better chance of giving better loot, it does not help very much. It is better to just get the card killed than to not kill it because you were trying to no skill it.

Categories used for this article.
Normal Monsters: These are the monsters that will appear every time you summon that level of card.
Other Monsters: These are monsters that may also appear.
Kill Order: Each monster had its own time limit to kill them. I will start with the monster you need to kill first.
Normal Loot: This is loot that will usually drop, it may not every time, but most of the time this loot will drop.
Other Loot: Other types of loot dropped. I might miss a few, I will add them as I go.
Boss Cards Dropped: Just like it says, the boss cards that might be dropped.
Where to Get the Cards: I'll list a few places where to get that particular monster card
What Level You Should Be: Sound like it says, this is just a suggestion so you can kill most of the cards summoned. Jogress breaks these rules, a jogress can kill any boss card itself and a lot of monsters no matter it's level.

The Random Summon
This is a special digimon that  will randomly appear no matter what level the card summoned. It is a data type and disappears the fastest.

Digimon of The Week : X-Veemon

In honor of the last day of the Paladin event, I am going to do an overview of X-Veemon's mega, fighter mode and paladin mode.

If you want to see the other evolutions in action look at this video:

X-Veemon's Evolutions and Attacks

The X-Veemon featured here is a 4/5 116%
General Overview:
Rideable: Yes; it's mega is ridable
Carding Ability: High
Does it Have a BM: Yes
Suggested Tamer Level: 50+
X-Vee due to the fact it's mega skills are a little weak, is harder to train especially if you are under tamer level 50. He is a rideable mega making him very useful for traveling/restoring fatigue. Fighter Mode and Paladin Mode are very good for carding. Paladin is able to take out 3-4 Mc 6 if he is cloned well. Fighter Mode can also do well against Mc 4 and Mc 5; it can kill about 2 Mc 6 if it cloned well. When you get Fighter Mode it is much easier to train because of the big boosts in stats, and it takes no extra tamer ds to digivovle to that mode. His Bm also gets both skills at 70 makes leveling him easy when you get to bm. His attributes are also Vaccine and Light making him ideal for making those attributes to trade for Raptor eggs that sell for 200m a piece. His Bm also has the strongest Bm f2 of the game, only being weaker than the jogress skills. Over all X-Veemon is a very good digimon that can serve as a rider and a carder.

Farming Difficulty: Low. Is found at Dark Towers, you need to be at least tamer level 25 and have a level 41 data or vaccine rookie. You can farm them easily until your digimon is around 65.
Hatching Difficulty: Medium to High. While the eggs are cheap and easy to get, dragon data is expensive and X-Veemon is hard to hatch in general.
Price: 25-30 m; these egg are pretty easy to get so they are cheap.
Chips: While ImperialDramon and Fighter Mode are Nature Spirits and Winged Gaurdian (Also Dragon's Roar for Fighter Mode), if you plan on getting his burst mode, you will want Metal Empire or Virus Buster's chips.
What You Need: 13 evoluters: 3 for ultimate, 6 for mega and 4 for fighter mode. An Omega Blade for Paladin Mode. 2 Mode Selectors if you want to ride the mega.

How to Care For It:
Lvl 1-11: You can go to wood bench trail or park and beat the in-training digis to a pulp. Also there are Dokunamon,Betamon or Demidevimon to kill in the areas near by.
Lvl 11-18: There are Dokugumon, Dobermon, Vegimon and Flymon to kill in western outskirts and western east area.
Lvl 18-25: There are Devimon and Goblimon in Wilderness area. You could also come here after lvl 11 if you feel confident enough.
Lvl 25-31: X-Veemon becomes a data at this stage. There are multiple areas to go as an ultimate. You could go to DigiFarm to kill Gatomon and Cerberumon or Ruined Historic to kill Garudamon . Also you can go to Oil 2 to kill Veedramon.
Lvl 31-41: Oil 3 has many parties and Vikekarlamon to kill. Also Snowman Village has parties and Mammothmon and WarGarurumon to kill. Frozen Ground also has Tentomon and Ikakumon to kill. Silver Lake is also an option, it has parties, good exp and good loot; you can kill Patamon, Tentomon and Birdramon.
Lvl 41-46: The same areas listed above will work, just switch to the virus digimon in those areas since the mega goes back to being vaccine. Also If you're tamer 25+ then Dark Towers has DarkWormon,Dark Bakemon and DarkSkullGreymon to kill. If you're tamer 50+  you could go into B2 and kill Keramon, Hagurumon, Wendingomon and Soulmon. If you're tamer 55+ then you can kill Rockmon or Cannonbeemon at Maze enterance.
Lvl 46-65: If you're tamer lvl is less than 50 then Infinate Ice Wall killing Gizumon is your best bet. You can also kill the same things are Dark Towers. Distorted Data Village is also an option since they have MetalEtemon to kill. Silent forest is also use-able up to lvl 60 by killing Bakemon, Warumozamon, Goblimon, Sharmamon and Orgemon.. For tamers 50+ and 55+ B2 and Maze are still the best place for them.
Lvl 65-80: Same areas listed above beside file island.
Lvl 80-90: For tamers under lvl 55 this will be really hard so I suggest you train something else. For those above 55 all the floors have some evolution of Keramon, so those are good to kill. You can enter maze after getting paladin mode as well if you're clone is around 9/9.
Cloning: Paladin Mode has great defense and will be a good carder so I suggest cloning Attack and Critical.

Digimon of the Week

I've decided to do in depth reviews about digimon. These will mainly cover digimon I have since I have first hand experience with them. I will post their base stats, meaning no clone, no attribute or no chips. Attributes affect the Hp,Ds, Defense and Attack of the digimon. Critical, Evasion, Blocking,  and Attack speed are un-changed and stay the same no matter the size/level of the same digi unless you clone critical,evasion or block. I also will post about how difficult it is to obtain and hatch the digimon. The stats shown will be at important level milestones like 41/46, 65 and 90. If you record your stats at these levels I would love to for you to send them to me. Here are the catagories covered:

Farming difficulty: This is how hard the digi is to farm, I take into account the locations it's in and the level gap for farming them. I will list where and how to get the eggs. There are 3 levels

Low-There is a huge level range for farming them, they appear in many places and the area they are in is easy to get to.

Medium- The level range is smaller, there aren't as many places to farm them and they might be in an area that is not easy to get to.

Hard- The level range is very small, they only appear in one place/are un-farmable and they are in a hard to get to area.

Price: I'll list the general price for them, people can sell them lower or higher than what I list, but this is what I consider a fair price.

Hatching difficulty: This rating is for the difficulty for getting a 4/5, for a 5/5 just assume it is on the hard difficulty. I also take into account how hard it is to farm the eggs and their price.

Low- Need 20 eggs or less; or the eggs are very easy to get/buy

Medium- Need 20-35 eggs ; or the eggs aren't very difficult to get/buy

High- Need 50+ eggs; or eggs are hard to get/buy

I will also list if it's good for carding and suggest the cloning for it. I will also provide how many evo/bm item you need, chips needed and where to train it.

This is a work in progress, I add things as I go, if you have suggestions then please send them to me/ comment.

Whats in a BM (and Jorgess too)?

BM's or Burst Mode ( or Blast Mode in impmon's case) are like megas on steroids, all of the stats are greatly increased. Now before you can get a bm for your digimon you need a few things:

A BM item- These unlock the bm/side mega slot of the evolution slot. You can get these from the cash shop or they are given out as event items every other month.

A lot of ds items/food- Bms eat 40 ds every 5 seconds.

A level 65 digimon- You can be any tamer level but you must have your digimon to level 65 before you can use your item to digivolve.

Lots of Accelerators- These are those little white circle things that you start getting in snow. You need 3 each time you digivolve to bm.

Now there is a difference between a BM and a Side Mega. Both require an item but aren't the same thing.

Burst Mode- Eats 40 ds per 5 seconds, uses 3 accelerators each time you digivolve and don't keep their level auras.

Side Mega- Eat 11 ds per 5 seconds, are generally not as strong as some other bms and keep their level aura.

To see your selection of bms and side megas going to the cash shop will tell you whats available and what digimon it affects. This place has most of the bm/side megas:

http://gdmo-guides.blogspot.com/2012/08/list-of-digimon-evolution-all-attribute.html


Some of the newer ones not included are:

 Keramon's BM Armageddemon

DemiDevimon (Soulmon line) BM Chaospiedmon 


Then there is something called a Jogress. These are fusions of two digimon creating some of the strongest digimon in the game. There are a few things you need to get these powerful digimon:


The two fusion digimon to at least level 41- When the jorgess is added generally joymax will post on their site what digimon you need and what to do to get the jorgess. These two digimon must have the mega slot unlocked and if they have bm/side mega cannot have that unlocked.

The Quests- These are the quest you need to do to unlock the jorgess slot for the digimon, each digimon will have their own set of quests (There are usually 4). Some of these quests might require you to have maze or b2, so if you know a jogress that you want is coming, then start leveling up. And no you can't have one of your high level friends go kill the stuff for you while you party with them. Joymax will also usually post a guide of what the quests entail so you know what to do.

The Jorgess Chip-You can buy these from the cash shop or supposedly certain digimon drop them. You have to have this chip applied or no jorgess. These are time limited chips, once they expire you have to buy more. They come in 30 days, 1 week or 1 day varieties. 

Level 70 Tamer- You can do/get the quest even if your tamer isn't level 70 but you can't digivolve your digimon to jorgess form until you're level 70.

Lots of Chicken Combos and an aura- Tamer aura do not hold the jogress evolution. If you stand still than the aura will re-charge your tamer ds or if you don't move around much when you are killing things. In a place like the maze entrance where you're running all over the place, you will need chicken combos to help hold your evolution.

Chipsets and Attributes

Chips and attributes make your word much easier and helps overcome some deficiencies of your digimon. By applying these you can make a world of difference for your tamer and your digimon; these will be essential if pvp ever comes to gdmo (english version of dmo).  Now there is a differnece between the two, chips will directly apply to your digimon if its the correct level and type; attributes apply directly to to tamer and will apply to the digimon through a system called intimacy.


Attributes

Attributes are things that you apply to your tamers clothes that will up your tamer's stats and through intimacy, your digimons stats (this is explained in the intimacy paragraph). You'll notice that digimon pretty much everywhere besides b1,b2 and maze will drop these things. They look like glowly orbs coming in different colors. Each color goes with a certain area that you attach it to ( I don't remember which colors go with which at the moment). You can also get them from scanning chip eggs that you get from b1,b2 and maze, though you'll more likely will get chips. Attributes rank from A to D, D being the best class of attribute. If you want higher attributes than you obviously have to kill stronger digimon to get them, like gizus or try and get lucky with high rank chip eggs.

Now when you get an attribute, it'll be unscanned and you can't do anything with it besides stare at it. So to be able to use it, you need to take it to an Equipment Merger, which will usually be a Kamemon ( the turtle) or a bald guy. These can be found scattered all around, the easiest one is the one in Western Village if you complete all the find chessmon quests all around the western area. It'll then cost you to have these attributes to be analyzed, not all attributes will scan the same, there is a range of values that they can have, which is stated on the attribute before you analyze it. Once you know its value then you must merge it with your clothing. You click the merging option and have to have that piece of clothing off of you as well. You put the piece of clothing in the top lone slot and there are two slots on the bottom for attributes, the exception for this is your glasses and shoes, they only have one slot for attributes. After you put them in the slot, then you click merge, which also costs you money. When you come across a better attribute, you go to the merging section again, but you click on the one that you dont want anymore and click de-activate, this also costs money, so then you have a free slot to put in your new attribute.

Now attributes don't apply fully to your tamer, most clothes that you get in game will only apply 55% of what the value of the attribute is, this is a ploy so you'll buy premium clothing from the cash shop (you can't trade it even if bought with premium silk) which will apply 115-130% of the attribute to your tamer. The glasses apply 90% and shoes apply 100% even if they're the regular clothes found in game. Now you can buy clothes from people or scan higher rank item eggs to get them. There are also certain sellers all around the digital world that will sell one type of clothing; like gloves are sold in digifarm. Clothes are generally pretty cheap, the only one that get pricey are glasses, which are still relatively easy to get; I got mine from scanning eggs from the snow area. Clothes come in all sorts of shapes and colors so you can customize your tamer as you go.

Pants- These are where defense attributes go, this stat can be passed onto your digimon, allowing it to take more of a beating.

Shirt/Jacket- These are where health attributes go, this increases your tamer's health allowing you to not get fatigued as fast. It also gives more health to your digimon.

Gloves-These are where attack attributes go, this stat can be passed onto your digimon, allowing it to give more of a beating. This doesn't affect your f1/f2, only the base attack stat your digimon has.

Shoes-These are where speed attributes go, this stat can be passed onto your digimon, allowing it to attack  a little faster and for your tamer to move faster. The highest value you can get for this attribute is 4%, which is difficult to get. I had a friend who scanned 30 of them and didn't get a single 4%. It doesn't make you any less of a tamer if you stick with 3%.

Glasses-These are where ds attributes go, increases your tamer ds, allowing you to remain digivolved longer and gives more ds to your digimon. I think the highest these can go is 185 or 186.

Hats-These are where ds attributes go, this does the same thing as glasses and can be worn at the same time as glasses, while the headphones that you get from the cash shop cannot. This is an event only clothes item and cannot be sold. They gave it out during halloween in gdmo's first year and hasn't been given out in a long time.

Currently these are the only clothes available at this time of writing. You can sell attributes scanned or unscanned as long as you haven't applied them to clothing.




Intimacy

This is the bond between you and your digimon. When you first get a digimon it'll be 0, but will go up as you continue to use/have this digimon. The max I've seen intestacy "naturally" go is to 35, but costumes obtained from the cash shop or events can raise it by 20 points, giving you a possible max of 55 intimacy with your digimon. Why should you care? Well intimacy ties in attributes that your tamer uses. As you use your digimon more, you intimacy will go up and will then gain a "base intimacy". This is the value that your digimon will start the day off with when you first long on and bring it out, this will increase as you use it more. For example my tentomon starts off at 20 when I log on and bring him out for the first time, as I use him my intimacy will go up, mine goes to 35 in a short amount of time. It will stay there as long as I don't die, put him in storage or log off. Though you will start off with a low intimacy value and it might not rise very high when you first start off, it'll go up as you use that digi. Generally if you get it to bm then it's intimacy will start off at 20 and will go to 35; in my personal experience anyway. Now when I bring out my tento my intimacy is at 20 with him, so a decent chunk of my attributes are being passed onto him. Though when I hit 35, his attack has gone up by 50 and defense by 20. Those may seem like little numbers, but it makes a lot of difference when fighting. So make your digimon like you and you'll like them better when they're smashing through more digimon. 

If you'd like to see the effect that your intimacy is having on your digi, then you click the d button to bring up the digimon menu and go to abilities. You then can hover over a stat (it'll be in green if its being boosted usually) and see what effect your chips,cloning and tamer is having on it. The number that has the tamer picture next to it, is what your tamer is passing onto the digi.

Chips

Chips are wonderful things that will apply directly to your digi's stats as long as they meet the type and level requirement. They come in ranks of 1-6; apparently there was supposedly an event with betamon sizes with the winners getting rank 7 chips, but trollmax/joymax never gave them out. The higher the rank of the chip, the more stats points it'll give and usually the higher the requirement it is. You can sell chips and chip eggs but cannot once you've applied the chip.  Chips also come in a range, you usually wont get the same number every time. You can apply two chips at a time, to do this bring up the tamer menu( click c) and go to the digivice tab and there are two slots for chips to go.  Now to see if they do you must check several things; the chip type, level requirement, digi level,and digi type. You can hover over the chip and it'll present all this info conveniently for you. Your digimon must not only match the level requirement but also the family requirment. If your digimon has two families it just needs to match one of them on the chip. For example my tento is jungle trooper and nature spirits, so jungle trooper and nature spirits chips will both work on him, I can apply one of each chip if I want. Now to check a head of time to see what family your digi has, you click d then there is an arrow on the side of the digi's menu and you can hover over each evolution to see what families they're in, so you can pick the best chip to help out the most evolutions. Bm's often change families so if you wish to train in that form, you need to find the right chip for it. Of course if you don't want to carry all sorts of chips with you, all family chips are your friend. 

Now where do I get these magical things? You can get chips anywhere pretty much, which as you go to higher areas you will most likely will get higher chips. Here are several ways I've gotten chips from around the digital world.

Eggs That Have a Blue Square Around Them- These look like the data/item eggs, except they will have a blue square around them when they're in you inventory ( like eggs that give you data will have a green box around them), they are usually more to scan then the other types of eggs that you get in that area. These may give you nothing, a family specific chip or an all family chip. Generally different types of eggs will give different family chips, like if you pick up a blue squared dragon egg, you'll usually get Dragon's Roar family chip, I don't know all the combinations, but generally if the digi that drops it is of a particular family, its eggs may give that particular chip.

The 880 Bit Eggs From Gizu- These are eggs that cost 880 bits to scan and will give you all family chips for levels 55 and up. This is probably one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get chips, but you have to have a level 55 digimon to use them.

Chip Eggs- This is the way to get the type of family chip you want. You get these from b1,b2 and maze. They cost around 12-15 m to scan, which you may get nothing, a chip or an attribute. In b1 they don't drop too often but when they do, they can apply to lower level digimon unlike the ones from b2 and maze which have requirements of level 55-61. Ones that have a pink box or are called epic, usually give better chips but a lot of times have higher requirements. These can be bought for a decnt price, but can get expensive after buying a lot of them. Chip eggs come in ranks, the highest I've seen so far is rank 7 epic.

Chip Egg Quest- In b2 of the maze or b1 in dats, you can get quests that will give you a random chip egg, Not exactly the best way to get them, but if you need a more rare type of family chip, then try these.

Types of Chips

There are several types of chips that you can use, each have their merits. Most people I know run either double attack chips or one attack and one defense.

Attack Chips-These boost your base attack stat (not skills) and are the most commonly used and sought after chip. These chips can add up to 80 attack points, and really make a difference. If you want to kill fast, then these are the ones to use. Also if you have high evasion then slap on two attack chips since you can't get hit. The downside is that these are expensive since a lot of people want them. They can go anywhere from 200m-2t, though the higher prices are usually for the ap 80 or rarer family chips.

Defense Chips- These boost your base defense stat and are hard to get. These allow your digi to take more hits and any amount helps a lot. If you choose to clone critical, a defense chip might be handy since you'll be exposed to being hit. Using an all family defense chip isn't a bad idea since they're harder to get and it saves room in your inventory.

Health Chips- These boost your digimon's health stat. These are easy to get and are cheap. But in the grand scheme of things don't make as much of a difference as attack and defense chips do. You can maybe survive one or two more hits with these on, but I personally don't care for them. I've seen them add as much as 470 hp.

Digi-Soul Chips-These boost your digimon's ds stat. These are also easy to get and are cheap.These maybe add 150 ds, which may get you one more skill before you have to use a disk.

You can also have dual stat chips which will boost two stats, but they are significantly lower than if it was a single stat chip for a stat.

Chipset Families

Jungle Troopers- Are relatively easy to get, and usually drop from bug digimon, wormmon in f1 are a good source.

Dragon's Roar- Are a little more difficult to get, usually drop from dragons, mono in b2 are a good source.

Nightmare Soliders- Are pretty easy to get, are dropped from anything that looks evil pretty much. Gobli/worm/ in f1 and all kera types in the whole maze are good sources. Also kera are good sources for b2.

Metal Empire- Also pretty easy to get, dropped from rock type digimon or machines. Volcamon in maze entrance are a good source and so are the cyber and haguru in b2.

Virus Busters- Are harder to get, I've seen usually dragons or "good" looking digimon drop these . I've gotten quite a few from galidmon in maze b2.

Nature Sprits-Probably the most common chip egg, anything that look like an animals will probably drop these. Worms/bears in f1 drop them a lot. Bear in b1 might also drop them if you're looking for lower level chips.

Deep Savers- Very hard to get, these are the more expensive types, you can get these from aqua digimon. F3 and F4 apparently have digimon ( I think seadramon) that drop these.

Dark Area- One of the more uncommon types, pretty much anything evil looking will drop these too.

Unknown- Is a very oddball family, the most notable member is keramon, you can get these from I guess virus digimon, wormon in f1 drops them a lot.

Winged Guardians- This is hard to get chip and ap 80 will go for 1.5-2t. Birds or flying digimin will drop these. I get a lot from CannonBeemon in the maze entrance.

All Family- These are cheap and relatively easy to get from dt or gizu. It doesn't matter what family you are, your digi just has to be the right level. These are good for saving space and money. Though they don't give as much of a boost as a family specific chip. Their requirements are usually 46-55, with the level 46 ones obtained from dt and the 55 from gizu.

Cloning

Here is an interesting aspect if the game that people always get confused about: reinforcement of your digimon aka cloning. Cloning is a tool that helps make your life easier when grinding levels and is almost mandatory to be successful  in places like gizu,maze and b2. It also is handy for when you're farming mc for that one last evo you need.

Now when people ask you what you cloned on your digimon you report it in a #/# fashion. If I were to clone my attack six times and my evasion 4 times I'd respond 6/4.

Why would you ever want to clone? Take this for example, my herculeskabutarimon had an f2 with a base damage of around 1800 if I'm not mistaken, which is not enough to kill a gizu in one hit (which is around 2100-2300 hp). I could wait until i can use the skill points that the digimon gains from fighting but if I want to go kill some gizu right away I can clone attack which will not only increase the base attack damage for my digimon's attack stat but will also increase the power of the f1/f2 skills. So can clone until about 6 and start killing gizu right away instead of waiting for the skill points to increase my skill power (which is about 50 attack points each time you upgrade a skill in mega).

To see if your mega needs cloning look at the site below. If you have an f2 with a base of 1600 cloning attack until about 8 or 9 should allow it to 1 hit a gizu and probably level 6 if you upgrade the skill to the max.

http://gdmo-guides.blogspot.com/2012/08/list-of-digimon-evolution-all-attribute.html

Auras
There are 4 types of auras in DMO, these are the result of getting to a certain level,cloning, the size of your digimon or buying a tamer aura from the cash shop.

Level Aura- No matter what, you will get these types of auras. They surround your digimon and change color as you level. They start off around level 40 as very faint sparkles (they're kinda hard to see). when you get to level 46 you gain a green one, 51 is kind of a teal-light blue color, 60 is a dark blue, 70 is purple which will slowly progress to a pinkish color until you hit 80 where its a bright red, which is the last aura change you'll see.

Size Aura- These are auras that are directly under the digimon and are due to the size of it. Generally any digimon that is over 120% will have a purple size aura so these are generally 5/5. The 4/5 will have a blue aura and are usually bigger than 110%-112%. 3/5 sadly get nothing, but can get size auras for some reason after you fought with it for a while. They will disappear as soon as you digivolve,die or switch digimon. This does not mean they've become a 4/5 or 5/5. 

Tamer Aura-These are white auras that surround the tamer that you can buy from the cash shop. This aura makes sure that your tamer ds doesn't drop, which is handy if you're training with a bm.

Cloning Aura- These are swirls of different colors that are around the digimon. To get these you have to clone to a certain level, if you where to clone attack and evasion successfully 3 times each then you get a very faint light blue swirl, 5/5 or 6/6 will give you blue swirls, 9/9 will give you purple swirls  and the only way to get red swirls is cloning 12/12 or two stats to the max reinforcement level which is 12.

Cloning and the materials needed
There are several important things about cloning:
You can clone only to a total number of 24, and each stat can only be reinforced/cloned up to 12. What this means is if some one where to clone all their stats to 6 will not be able to clone further because the total of successful reinforcements is 24 (6+6+6+6=24).
It is highly recommended to pick two stats and clone those to 12 each, bringing out the full potential of your digi.
Once you use a clone or a back up disk it's gone, even if it was an unsuccessful try, you won't get those materials back.
Back Up Disk do not guarantee that you'll be successful at your cloning attempt, they just guarantee that you won't decrease in cloning level.
If you fail too many times at cloning you can go down in cloning level, so be careful.
You must go in order when you clone, so you must first use clone d from level 0-3, clone c from 4-6,clone b from 7-9 and clone a 10-12.
Some people say that you get better results when you clone your digimon when its level 41, I'v cloned at all levels and haven't seen much of a difference. But there is not much of a need to clone until 41 because the digimon aren't that hard to kill. Once you leave to go to higher training grounds after getting mega, it's a good time to clone.
Cloning is mostly based on luck
If you fail twice in a row and you're not using clone d, its best to back off and wait because you will probably will go down in cloning level if you try and fail again.

Materials

Clone D- This is the lowest level cloning material, they can be bought from the cash shop/silk users, but you're better off buying them from the core shop ( the booth with the turtle) in dats for 1 core each. These will take you from level 0 (no reinforcement) to level 3 reinforcement. These are very easy with over a 90% chance of succeeding

Clone-C-They can be bought from the cash shop/silk users, but you're better off buying them from the core shop ( the booth with the turtle) in dats for 2 cores each. These will take you from level 4 to level 6 reinforcement. These are still easy and have a 80% chance of succeeding

Clone-B-They can be bought from the cash shop/silk users, but you're better off buying them from the core shop ( the booth with the turtle) in dats for 3 cores each. These will take you from level 7 to level 9 reinforcement. At these levels is when you start seeing major improvements to your digimon. These get pretty hard to do successfully, they drop to about 50-60% chance of success.

Clone-A- This is the highest level cloning material and can only be bought from the cash shop/silk users or dropped in maze. These are statistically the hardest to do with a less than 20-30% success rate. The best advice I can give is load up on bu and click on the corners and occasionally the middle  A decent price to pay for them is 90-105m. These will take you from level 10 to 12 reinforcement.

Back Up Disc- This guarantees that you won't go down a cloning level but won't stop you from failing. They can be bought from the cash shop/silk users, dropped from mc and are usually given out as prizes for events. When I started playing a decent price for a bu was 125-150m now it's jumped to 200m. I suggest using these at levels 8 and 9.

Reset Capsule- Will reset one stat one level, so if I had level 5 reinforcement on attack and use the capsule, it will put me down to level 4.

Reset Capsule A- Will reset one stat all the way to level 0. If I had level 12 reinforcement on attack and use the capsule I'll be put down to level 0.

The Cloning Process
Now to clone you must go to the dats center and talk to the commander. Select enter dats center and you'll be inside the cloning chamber. There are 4 stats that can be cloned.

Attack-Cloning this will raise you physical attack and power of your f1/f2 skills, this is a must for all tamers to clone, if not than you're a very interesting soul.

Evasion- Cloning this will raise the chance that you won't get hit by attacks, is handy for going against big bosses/digimon that are stronger than you or if you like to run solo against huge mobs (ie the diablomon in gizu). I'd personally clone this if your digimon has a low defense to help it last a little longer, but it all comes down to preference. This stat can get to a large percentage; one of my digimon has a 70% evade rate and its at cloning level 10.

Critical- Increases the chance of a critical hit, is helpful for killing stuff quicker if you're lucky. If your digimon has high defense and can take a few hits (or you don't mind shoving tons of chicken combos down it's throat) then this might be more ideal for it. The percentage for this stat doesn't go as high at evasion, but still gets to useful levels of a critical happening. Once again this is all personal preference.

Block- Increases your chances of blocking an a attack. Not many people use this because evasion does the same thing practically and has a higher chance of happening while block has a very low base percentage. I do not suggest 

Once in the chamber select a stat to clone, the material that you're using, and the back up disc if you're using one. When you click clone, 2 rows of cards will appear and there will be a count down. You can click a card if you choose or just wait for the time to run out and a random card will be chosen for you. My suggestion for cloning once you get to b and c range is after you see which row has the most success (it'll show you all the cards once you choose) and then pick the opposite row the next time. This method has seemed to work for me but cloning is all luck. 

Now when you clone you notice that it will give you a range of increase of the stat if you were to be successful. For example for the first level of cloning you can increase your attack power from 1-3. If you land on 3 then the nest increase will be between 4-8 when you clone again, but if you land on 2 then the next chance of increase will be between 2-5 next time you clone. This is where the reset capsule comes in, if you where to get a 1 for example then you just use a regular reset capsule and go down one level and maybe try again for that 3. Reset capsule A is usually for people who've decided that they want to clone an entirely different stat or wish to start from scratch in the stat they had cloned before and try to get better increases this time around. I don't suggest a stat for the latter reason, cloning is expensive and time consuming. If you want to reset a stat there is a little tab that says "reset" and you choose the stat you want to reset and the capsule you're using.
