I agree in part with what you have stated. I'd like to say that I have a feasible alternative to assist you but alas I do not. I am in a likened sentiment of which the only options I can presume are waiting for enough diamonds to buy the ethereals. After many months of attempts I have procured an ethereal out of absolute luck, especially since I had no torches on that island. However obtaining the ethereal monster is only half of the battle, you then are required to get it to level 15 and place it on the ethereal island. I have yet to determine exactly how much gold that would require. The torches are probably your best hope to initially getting an ethereal. There are quite a few forum posts for users seeking assistance in having their torches lit. I truly wish that the ethereals were designed progressively. On the first island there are no excusable reasons that the odds for a Ghazt should be 1%. It would be understandable for water or earth island or later aspects of the game, but not the very first island we the players begin working on.
