How I get my combo in the millions: http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/7141/combou.png
For those that don't use common sense, to stop your combo either go in and out of the shop, or click the manual timeout button above the middle of the screen.
The beastiary used to give the location of monsters - Are we now needing beast level 5 (10k kills) to see that info, or has it been taken out completely? I sometimes forget where stuff is for the quests ;)
