Just translations from a few websites, some of which used a capture book. I
have corrected anything they were missing or had (maybe typos) wrong. Most of
this is known from trial and error ingame.

Key
===
NV = Night Vision, can see especially far away at night (Invisible)
CV = Clear Vision, can see from far if in line of vision (Invisible)
H = Hearing, senses people's movement (Sneak)
V = Vision, normal vision (Invisible)
M = Magic, senses when magic is used near by (Don't cast)
D = Dying, senses people with low HP (No way to avoid)
S = Smell, can loose your scent and give up (Deoderize)
*MGS means Metal Gear Solid, it's an FFXI nickname for using sneak/invis

Vision related monsters see a span of ~80 degrees in front of them,
their range is often very short.

Clear Vision monsters can sense you from far away if you are directly
in their light of sight, but have less range for left and right of their
line of vision.

Hearing monsters have about a 180% field of vision, but sense sound
360 degrees, all around them.

Magic also is sensed all around the monster, 360 degrees.


Notes
=====
The higher your Main Level and CHR stat, the more your chances of being
undetected by monsters. It's similar to Stealth.

Some of the monster classes are not active and do not link, these are often
the lower level ones. Most HNM or stronger type monsters will also see
through your MGS abilities. Many are also inactive unless a certain thing
happens. Detectors will scan as "not a challenge", however if you are seen
they will summon something strong to attack you. Anyways, use caution.

The current state of MGS requires people being recasted on to "click off"
the MGS icon on their screen before getting the new cast put on them.
Casting invisible on yourself can overlap, you can recast it on yourself
anytime and not be seen. If you need MGS but can't use magic or other
abilities, that's what Silent Oils and Prism Powders are for. Also, opening
Coffers or Chests will cancel any MGS you had on.

Some monsters have defense and resist against certain elements, magic and
even statuses. They also have specific stat boosts. Try to use logic when
fighting. For example: Antica are weak to Wind, chances are they have strong
defense against Earth (which they do).

Strong -> Weak
Fire -> Ice -> Wind -> Earth -> Thunder -> Water -> Fire
Light <-> Dark
