47:59 I've actually tried to do that once, well didn't like "complete the project" but was starting to build toward it, there is a decent monster of the "same type" with Ravager role, 3rd slot is a bit worse though I don't think there are other monster of that "canine" type that I'd consider "high tier", having the "Pack Mentality" boost is probably worth it for a build like that if someone really wants to use a certain type of monster because it's 30% to phys attack/magic so it's pretty strong. The monsters you can use to "infuse" this ability though are unique and once consumed they're gone for good so like... keeping that for late-game and making a backup save is advised lol, I'd only do that before tackling the DLC bosses at the very end. Correction: just remembered that most "unique" monsters CAN be reclaimed, but they're like.. random low chance drop from the final DLC boss, so by that point you don't really have anything else left to do with the game, unless you want to build monsters further just to see like if you can pull off some "challenges" like 1-stagger all the DLC fights. So yeah for all intent and purpose basically, if you find a monster "outside of a fight", like it's just a field pickup in a chest or on the field, it's probably "unique"
