Elona Plus No one had posted a thread in a while edition

Get killed by magic wielding assholes, nuke the city your child got pregnant, preform back ally abortions with bottles of acid, enjoy delicious dragon milk, get killed by roving bandits, and starve to death in a random wilderness tile!

1.70 is the most recent version of elona+. Elona is a game made by some jap named Noa. Elona plus is a mod of that game made by Ano.

This brings about some quality of life changes and general improvements to the game as well as letting you customize things like pet AI, highly recommended. Extract this to the elona main folder and launch from the coffee cup icon. Made by some qt named annabannana and more recently taking up the torch a guy named bloodyshade.

Official ElonaCustom Release thread: elona.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:25014


Ton of good info for new and old players alike

Update:
if you are super new to the game, this guy does pretty thorough tutorials for starting the game without any knowledge:
youtube.com/watch?v=yq5T78qFWxI&list=PLjMGkQw8fk9zygZzo7-8c82rXZxvwfmr4


A jap roguelike with an overworld and no permadeath. Can be played a ton of different ways like being a farmer who grows magic items as well as veggies, a piano player, and there's some new necromancy shit that was added. There is a ton of shit to do in the game.

Can be a bit grind heavy once you get settled though. Join in on the fun!

Oh fuck, Elona thread. It's been so long since the last one.

I somewhat recently picked this up again and I've just been grinding myself to become the ultimate killing machine and amassing an army for myself, instead of progressing further through Lost Irva.

Trying to level up some buffs at the moment, since I've been an idiot and just brute forcing myself with Magic Dart most of the time. It hasn't served me well when a five-head god pops up in a 150+ dungeon.

They slowed down a bit but if anons want em we can keep them coming.

Should i get another karata?
No pet seems as strong as him.

Can someone spoonfedme a little bit on pet custom ai? I cant find any info on how to add more tactical instructions over the first 3 slots.

You get more lines with higher friendship iirc

comfy!

What about 1.71?

I am playing a martial artist as my first character and I got a living weapon with draw shadow pretty early into the game. I am pretty close to get shadow step though, should I bother leveling it as a safer option?

I dun goof

Use shadow step and get another option for the living weapon

Btw a martial artist as first player character, you are asking for pain.

Where's the 27 hands fag I heard he's really gay

Tbh user I'm pretty new to the game and I found these threads very helpful I just wanted to start one up again.

elona.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:AnnaBannana/New_Features_in_Elona_Custom_1.51.4

...

Elona is comfy for long game sessions, makes you want to crack open a bear.

Violent Garden is too OP

...

...

I wanna fug his 27 arm mutant qt.

...

Don't rely too heavily on the damage from abilities like Violent Garden. They're powerful when you first get them, but they don't scale as well as regular attacks and eventually drop off. It's best to keep training your combat skills.

If you keep gardening up (which you should) it can stay relevant for a very long time. I'm level 80 and I still use it.
Full-screen-avoids-allies-plus-bind is a combo that's hard to beat.

Were's the chat server ip?

Didn't mean to reply.

Check the pastebins in the OP.
One of them has the instructions

Ok, I have 30 in Gardening and the magical plants feat

How do I use violent garden?

please help

How do I use violent garden?

I have the magical plant feat and 30 in gardening as well.

It should be in the"wide skill" tab uppercase W by default iirc

If it's not on the skill section then it should be on the wide skills section, use capital W to open the wide skills menu

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned here before, is that at some point they changed the way that material scrolls work. Instead of assigning a random material, scrolls now follow a set pattern of material changes:

Inferior Material
All:
paper → cloth → silk → mica → raw → leather → glass → scale → coral → bronze → iron → bone → paper


Change Material
Unblessed & Cursed:
zylon → obsidian → chrome → metal → steel → chain → silver → platinum → gold → perl → griffon scale → zylon
Blessed:
zylon → obsidian → chrome → metal → steel → chain → silver → platinum → gold → perl → griffon scale → dragon scale → adamantium → zylon


Superior Material
Unblessed & Cursed:
dawn cloth → spirit cloth → dragon scale → crystal → titanium → mithril → adamantium → emerald → diamond → dawn cloth
Blessed:
dawn cloth → spirit cloth → dragon scale → crystal → titanium → mithril → adamantium → emerald → diamond → rubynus → ether → dawn cloth

What this means:
Also, if the initial material of the item is not on the list for the scroll you are using, it will start at the beginning of that scroll's list. So using an inferior material scroll on a steel item would turn it into paper, 100% of the time. This means:

How odd, I don't see it.

Violent garden is very weak at my level tbh but it starts out quite good.

Wide skills,
If it doesn't show up, you should get it the next time you level up

Try leveling up 1 more time

Character level i mean

Do I have to worship the shota god?

No

What determines the amount of platinum coins you get?
The max might be determined by your level/10, yet it varies regardless of the ease of the quest

But he is probably the best god late game imo

awww yeah, guess who just got added to the OP?

Ok then

Thanks, I was hoping someone would cap it.

First image
this is why i love this game.

ok so what feat should i get as a gunner?
also no bully

You made some bad choices.

Anyway knockout, cheer and the horse riding mastery are some good ones i can remember

like what? tbh i'm still really new to the game.

The dv and evasion

Drain blood and fire breath good for early game but gets weak later.

should i change my armor to pv? does speed even matter for a gunnger?

If you are going gunner, there's not much point on focusing on defense and evasion unless you'll be shooting right next to them, but then again there are some shooting enemies as well so it's fine.
You'll be keeping a distance so you want stuff like the dimensional jump to run away. Speed is ALWAYS good, so up that and maybe get a mount for more speed (I've never used one so don't all me).You could go for resistances to counteract magic enemies, they are a pain for non-mages.

Oh, resistances are more for later, just focus on basic abilities and getting your firearm and related skills up.

Speed is likely the most powerful stat you can get.

Imeant spending value feat points on tiny amounts of dv and evasion.

Get equipment based on their properties (such as chance for additional ranged attack)as dv and pv can be easily increased.

He's not saying there's no point in having DV or evasion as a gunner. He's saying that getting their feats is a waste. That wing you're wearing is worth almost three of that DV feat as is, and you can train 2 levels of evasion extremely quickly.

Contrasting with the ascetic feats, every extra 5% health is significant and will be useful throughout the entire game.

ah i see, ya this is my first real character, so i am kinda fumbling through seeing what the game is like.. really like it so far.

Learn about pets too, they can be much stronger than the PC if properly raised

You're doing better than me.

ya i'm only 12 but i let my pets take charge and mow everything down basically. been doing gene engineering need to get them fancy food and herbs some how when i get to figureing that out

You got the right idea.
u could try out a pet with metal/armoredor elementalresist bit flags.
They are very powerful.

Heh i lik the
BBC
fam

This game is only for autists. Post porn mods.

Holy shit fire breath is awesome.

Ya I'm used to d&d so I thought dodge was an actually skill/feat not just a value

キタ―――(゚∀゚)―――!!

What do you mean?

Some monsters out there have the "cMetal" flag on them, which means they take 90% reduced physical damage. Bells have this.
Other monsters have the "resEle" flag, which makes them outright immune to elemental damage (Magic and Water spells still do damage). I think Cubes have this.
Monsters with these tend to have pathetic (

Oh shit ok. With monster balls I assume?

Monster balls and Dominate effects mostly.
If you want to recruit an NPC it's a more involved process that requires a rare Astral Light Pen.

There's also a lesser version of cMetal which is cArmor, which is like a 50% physical reduction? Murder Knight has this.

...

How do I see the enemy's health bar when I'm trying to capture them with monster balls? In particular Putits and Rabbits. It's been nothing but guess work and save scumming for me.

The game should show the health of the last enemy you attacked (AND managed to hit, so if they dodged it may not show up) by default. Anyway, for capturing enemies you should rely on using the KNOCKOUT skill. Its a skill that deals damage like regular attacks but it CANT kill. Enemies hurt by it will survive with 1 hp and be stunned, and if you try to use it on someone who is already at 1 hp it will warn you and not work.

The message that pops up regarding the enemy's condition is an indicator.
I think you want "critically hurt!"

Metal pets get a 90 % physical damage reduction

Armoured gets 75% physical reduction

Ele resist gets 100% immunity from elemental type attacks and spells.

Check out the bitflags pages on the wiki, there are other good ones, nut the 3 above are the best imo.

thanks user very helpful!

is there a way to get money out of the kitty bank without breaking it? it seems they are pretty rare and would be a good way to get my pets potential up.

also is anyone having trouble posting?

No.
Also you can just hand your pets money with the Evochat thing.

I need to make this game lewder. What do?

I need to make this game lewder. What do?

Install spritepacks and lewd tonefiles. I think there was some tonefag in the last thread that did stuff wherever that was.

Simple question. How i can build the ultimate range weapon?

Holy water, Scrolls of superior material, some blessed if you want rubynus or something, getting to act 3 or 2.

when you hit soulmate with your little girl.

poop

Kind of interested in trying this, but when I watched that beginner's guide video OP posted, I immediately noticed that the translation is a half step up from machine translation with a few parts that said "This is untranslated sentence" or something like that. Is there a way to remove the "translation" and play in Japanese or not?

Infobump
elona.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:26976

Yes.
You can change it in config.txt

This is a really good update.

...

That harvest goddess is giving me psycho vibes, will she kill me if I change faith?

The dungeon thing? How bad is it?

...

Only 50+ level dungeons give them now.
Max 3 medals.

No, he will just curse you.
Just like all other gods.
All gods are bat-shit insane.

From bejeweled chests? The wording made me think that was some feature that never happened to me. That's bullshit, yeah.

Specifically, you get 1 medal each for:
-LV > 50
-Fever
-Awoken

In other words, a single medal 90% of the time and NONE for new players.

I would prefer, if that would be just based on dungeon level.
Like one medal for

the translation is fine weeboo.
if you are worried about text translations you shouldn't play this game pleb.

I fucking hate super hungry sea lions.

Is milk good for anything other than yogurt? Are cheese and butter good for anything?

...

Do you have ayy lmao powers? How?

If you get pregnant you get a special action where you an impregnate npcs (with aliens)

This shit doesnt make any sense but it's ten times better than being able to buy a shitton of materials from npc and spam the crafting button

Wear an item that prevents theft to block sea lions. If you don't have one, kill beggars until one drops the pendant.
Cheese keeps the enhancement value of the milk. So if you squeeze some +10 milk out of a ranch monster, it'll become +10 cheese. Enhanced food trains your speed.
Butter is non-rotting food that inflicts the Oil status when thrown. It also seasons the monster (enhances their corpse), although it has a limit of +2 while regular seasonings (salt/sugar/pepper/soy sauce) go up to +4.

THE MUTANT COMMUNITY
You guys have no fucking idea how much time it took to change all these lightsabers to adamantium, but jesus the ether disease rate was driving me insane. I decided to take a little break off dungeon diving solo to level up some of my pets and give them min maxed living weapons + good AI, it's been surprisingly fun. I also found a trick to quickly teach abilities/spells to pets and I can share if anyone's interested.
Next one should be my fire dragon with megid flame(element scar) + a level 10 lightning living hammer, just gotta wait for a lucky day to pop up so that I can actually get decent enchantments.
My save got corrupted yesterday, I managed to bring everything back with snack except the "Metal Armor" skill. Elosnack is unupdated so it looks like I'll be unable to get it for the rest of this save file.

Pro tip: Make high potions of soma
Pot of fusion recipe, but you gotta buy it beforehand at a souvenir vendor(Larna's should always have one). It increases the 8 main stats, speed and luck of the target by 5 + 1/7 of their base value, lasts until the mob dies. Can be made with a potion of healer, crim ale and a rainbow fruit. (All ridiculously easy to get, bar maybe the rainbow fruit. You can get those from Melugas if you can go into South Tyris, two will always respawn in the garden and stealing should be easy.) Remember to throw one of them at your pets too since they also get the boosts.

I think it's also possible to use them in Alchemical Rain, right?

Did you forget to use craft repair kits?
If it's better than "14 lines of use new action, 1 line of move toward enemy, hang out in Puppy Cave until 100%", I'm interested.


Rainbow fruits aren't too uncommon a result when planting fruit seeds. With the seasonal crop system in E+ 1.72, rainbow fruit will only grow during months 3-5, but you'll get way more.
It's also worth noting that soma restores 200 SP and makes you insane. Way more SP than you'd get from soda, but to make use of them in combat you'd need to use a unicorn horn or the statue of Jure or something.

A lightsaber's max roll is 2d15+3.
And I really don't feel like gathering so many craft repair kits for such a small difference

Is it a retarded idea to get all the godpets in a party? It seems like a good idea at first but then you have to gear them all and have them all level up.

...

What's your usually game cycle? I usually farm pp then grind a specific skill if I need to or randomly raid caves below my level.
I'm likely progressing very slowly

All of them? Probably, yeah, they're not all good. But some are pretty above average as pets, let's see
Good early game because of platinum shits, good later on because she's one of the few mobs with platinum song.
Has boost, evolution gets Lulwy Trick(and they stack) Really fucking good.
Lay hand is great, healing rain is great, when evolved it gets absolute protection which sounds great.
At first sight it's a Black Angel but lacking the two things that make it good(Boost and Lulwy's Trick). But it does get the Bind special action after evolving, allowing it to easily kill pretty much all melee-only enemies..

I just grind and didn't even bothered to complete act I yet.

You forgot that cute fairy vomits seeds, when it's feed with corpses.

Well that's hardly a game changer for it, is it? It's only once a day, might as well do a harvest time quest. Or if you're serious about it, grind little girls and get multiple Kumiromi statues.

I still cant decide on a pet for my caster. Need to be another melee one but I want something a little different I think.

What's your current team?

Just my caster and my doggo fight now. I was thinking a spirit but they have no cool looking evolution which is kinda deal breaker for me. I don't know what I want but it was to be cool and fun
my alias is the airhead if that helps you think of something appropriate

Go for a flame dragon. It has cool evos(3 actually) and at the last level it gets Megid Flame, which inflicts AoE element scar which a caster should love.
Anything with bind to keep melee attackers in one place should work too. Cute fairy has it, and so has the puppy > necro chimera.

elona.wikia.com/wiki/Karata_the_seminar_mascot

The strongest pet imo but requires astral light pen.

Seems more like a guaranteed way to make it so you and your pets never gain AP ever again.

You will gain ap when you are around 250+ void

How do I make myself more accurate?

Focus on 1 or 2 weapon types to get high weapon skill or use magic(never misses).

Wear good gloves

Thanks user

So anons, how have you died lately?

Certainly you're not thinking of leaving her, right? She is precious.
>You'll be with me forever… right?… I won't let you go… Until you die.

...

Jokes on you.

wat do

fishing

Why are the controls so shit in this game?

I equip a bow and arrows and it keeps telling me I can't attack because I need a ranged weapon equipped.
I fucking died in the tutorial to those slime balls, because the character insisted on attacking with his fists.

Bows go in your "ranged" slot NOT your "hands" slot.
Arrows go in your ammo slot.


Press f to fire.

Did u do the above.

Did you equip the bow in your fucking melee slot like a retard?

Controls are still a shit.

But I'm getting used to them.

How bad is changing gods besides the 10k turn debuff? Do you lose gifts or stuff? Can you return to a god in the future?

cont.
I assume your piety is reset to 0 each time, does this mean you can potentially get a specific gift from a god twice? (Or stardust if its an artifact)

Yes, you can return to the god in the future, and also get all the artifacts and stuff which means stardust. There isn't any real penalty besides the reset and 10k percentile debuff.

You can't talk about shit controls until you play Dwarf Fortress or any MUD.

They are not, the tutorial is though, the game doesnt tell you that the whole menu that you open with the z is shit and can be ignored as soon as you learn the bindings or how you can hotkey pretty much anything.

Some artifacts(mostly the gems you get) get turned into potion of curecorruption. You can also get the godpet multiple times.

I've been getting fucked up in the level 50 quest. I don't have any equipment that negates confusion.

elona.wikia.com/wiki/Sage's_Helm
elona.wikia.com/wiki/Gloves_of_Vesda

Actually I'm already wearing the gloves. I guess you can't resist confusion if it comes from unsteady.

Oh, insanity problems. Yeah, you should probably carry the Statue of Jure with you. You can also use unicorn horns in a pinch, but the only reliable source of them is souvenir vendors so they're kinda expensive. Only other option is to have an evolved little girl/nurse with you for Rain of Sanity.

how to grind for strong? I keep dying and getting cursed/diseased. Money is not so much of a problem I play music and whore myself

Would you prefer a jew, a sadistic dom or an insane psychopath?

How do I change my player alias?

Your nickname? If you know the spell Mutation, it allows you to reroll it from a list.
Mutation used to mutate you but it was changed quite some time ago on E+
ONLY the spell, not the potions

is this a serious question?

fug, I'm not doing a mage character.

best god is mani. prove me wrong.

Fuck off, no one gives a shit about male gods.

Fine, wannabe cat girl is best female god.

I'd rather a Kumiromi.

...

Kumiromi is also male, trap god

...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Once you get about 5 gardening, the harvest time quests become much easier, also make sure you bring a pet to kill all the small fry. Also carry a teleport rod to get away from bandits.

Who the fuck else are you going to be?
Also you may have to go back.

Any way to tell my little girl to use ranged attacks?

Custom AI
elona.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:AnnaBannana/New_Features_in_Elona_Custom_1.51.4

Why the FUCK is the range attack distance capped to 5 tiles???

Because else pets would be OP.
Shadow step has like 8 range

Damn this game is funky.
I made a Lich Wizard so I could do spooky Necromancer things, but I'm barely getting these controls down. Moving with the number pad is so peculiar to me. I'm gonna watch the tutorials like the OP mentions though.

How'd I do with my stat rolling?


shit Alchemist sounds pretty fun like that. I may go that route instead.

I move with the arrow keys outside dangerous combat usually, never really harmed me. Give it a try if you can't handle numpad

not a bad idea. I'll have to give that a try if I can't hack it with the numpad.

Hey, at least Yacatect is a cute merchant.

Mani is still the best god in the world.

Agreed.
If you don't mind exterminatus on everything non-machine.

That's why you need augmentations in your body.

But yeah, he's quite crazy just like the others but at least Mani is the lesser devil from the bunch. One wants to destroy everything and everyone to return it to the element, another one is a dominatrix with a clear relation with the etherwind, one of then is a cat-lady.

Kumiromi > Lulwy > Jure > Rest > shit > Your god

You set up a separate virtual display and start a local VNC server to that display.
You then connect to that VNC display and start the game on fullscreen, then tell the VNC client to scale the contents to the window. In Linux this is relatively easy, I used this guide.
tfischernet.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/enlarge-fullscreen-programs-in-wine/
I don't know how you would start a virtual screen on Windows, but a slightly less autistic solution would be to make a virtual machine dedicated to the game and telling Virtualbox or whatever to scale that.

You want to get used to the numpad, though, because of diagonals. Your numpad should have a notch over the '5' so you can home on it without even looking.

For harvest quests your need at least a pet, the more the merrier, but a single pet like the little girl should do good as long as no monsters are in sight when you begin picking up veggies.
Save turns at the start or after unloading a batch by teleporting, short teleport is easy to learn if you're a mage and rods of teleportation are common in the puppy cave. Take note of where you start in the minimap so you can actually deliver the veggies to the box.
Do not pick anything below 'hand sized' - you can check stuff with '*' without actually having to spend turns walking there.
Do not pick anything while Overweight: your backpack will crush you interrupting the attempt. While heavily burdened you will also act slower which means you'll consume more time picking up and walking. A batch that pushes you to Overweight is usually enough to meet the quota anyway.

Oh and don't bother training Gardening. It levels ridiculously quickly even at 15%ish potential.

How strong and how far are you into the game? a few random advices

How do I chat server?
I think my settings for it died.

I never got this meme. all good artifacts I've managed to get my hands onto were either randomly generated or crafted by myself, even with a rank 1k+ blackmarket I've never found anything good enough to use there. Ever since 1.71 overhauled crafting they feel 100% useless to me.
Here's a better tip

In config.txt change option serverlist to 1.
Copypaste this link below to server.txt
elochat-proxy.shiroko.yi.org%elona.squares.net%
Overwrite everything in server.txt

How the hell do you set up the AI?

I seen no option anywhere. Talking to my pet gives me no such option.

Ignore me. I was starting elonpaplus.exe instead of elonaC.

fuck you user!

I can't find anything about the strange feast random event.
Does it just sate or should you eat your own food to train?

It just makes you bloated.

If there was a feat that allowed you to projectile vomit on command I would take it in a heartbeat
at the moment I'm resorting to brewing of crim ale with the pot of fusion and drinking until I puke my guts out

...

elona.wikia.com/wiki/Potential
Your stats also have potential; that's what the "Superb" "Hopeless" etc. label next your stats are. You need to keep your potentials high or you will never get gainz. I don't know the exact formula that Elona uses, but if you take it literally, you can train up to 4x as fast at the max 400% potential (this is a waste usually because the higher your potential the more you lose), but more importantly as you fall under 100% potential you will train twice as slow at 50%, 10 times slower at 10%, even 100 times slower at 1%.

You really want all the blessed potions of potential you can get for this, they add 100% to the potential of every stat except luck and speed. You need to invest in magic shops in order to buy these, so do this ASAP:
(Investing gets more expensive the higher the shop's rank, but invest 50 will invest enough for 50 levels ''at the current investing price", so it's much cheaper than investing bit by bit, even when taking into account…)
This should cost about 10-20k per vendor, and get the vendor to about rank 60. You can start seeing potions of potential at this point, but for them to be reasonably common you want at least rank 100. This is much more expensive though (over 100k for the second invest 50), so now you need to think about making money.

Once you've begun to stockpile potions of potential to bless, you will see just how ludicrously fast you can train in Elona with high potential. For example, with superb potential in DEX, PER, evasion, and greater evasion, you can go into a dungeon alone and just sit there letting a reasonably strong (or rather, accurate) enemy wail on your while you hold down 5, and in a few minutes you will have gained multiple levels in each and exhausted your potential. Or (as mentioned earlier) with superb potential in charisma and negotiation you can spam invest 50 at cheap vendors and exhaust your potential in seconds
tl;dr grinding anything is piss easy in Elona, the challenge is all the shit you have to do to keep your potential high.

There are other ways to keep stat potential up, worry about these after the potions of potential start coming in:


You might already know this but see
It's cheap and easy to get adamantium equipment with change material scrolls now (only two of which must be blessed). You only need material kits for changing godly equipment.

I've been using only godly shit for so long I completely forgot about this, lel

Is there any point in making a gene?

I too, wonder this.

No, except you get a more interesting start restart with better starting items and potentially better potential gains up through the low-mid game with stuff.

please gz
Also, is anybody else having problems managing their pet inventory in the newest version? It crashes when I give or take an item.

Added to the OP/Second post. good stuff here.

I like being lucky even if I have to tolerate cat women, the insane part is a positive to me.

If anything I want an option for personal gods. I would probably create a god that is constantly drunk and you offer smoking items and alcohol to build favor and faith.
The god is it randomly stumbles into 1/1000 maps the PC is in' completed wasted and assists the player.
The first gift is a pet of some sort, second gift is a feat item that makes you immune to bleeding, poison, fear, chills and pregnancy.
The third weapon is a beer bottle like throwing weapon that induces fear and bleeding on the person hit with it.

...

Ya… so about this what is up with all these werewolfs and unseen hands? i know i can vote/ ask "Are you a werewol?f" but how does that work?

I was wrong about skill tickets.
elona.wikia.com/wiki/Skill_ticket
They are for learning new skills, not training them, and you can only get 9 through your salary.


Unseen hand is because they were wearing cursed equipment, I think.
I don't know how werewolves work. I've accused NPCs that had "_ the werewolf" in their name, and accused NPCs that the werewolf detective said were "definitely a werewolf", and never got them to transform. Even killed them and nothing happened but the karma penalty.

I thought Elona had more of a multiplayer aspect, but it seems singleplayer only.

Also, the grind….

Play overdose faggot

user watch these tutorials

Man the Skill Ticket system is a real lifesaver. I'd rather spend the plat on training skill potential. Also holy fuck the pot of fusion can be ridiculously OP with some creative uses. Throwing crim ale at melee enemies as ranged/wizard is a valid strategy, not as effective as confusion/blindness but much more readily available.

Can this dude not die? can i grind my/ my pets skills off this guy?

what in the fuck

That's the Idea.
More info.

Steal one unless you got a wish or two to waste it on.

Offer him blue pills the rogues drop and he joins your party.

Btw as someone who got the bike early on, it's really not worth it.
Takes ages to grind enough rogues to get the 3 blue pills, and it's a way worse mount than other easier to get similar-level stuff.

How do i kick these people? Preferably without resorting to murder, I don't think the guild trainer will come back if I do.

Werewolves are weird. It seems like they repurposed the town board that was for voting for nicknames into a werewolf voting board. You vote for whichever citizen is the werewolf and if they're at the top of the list and you're in town at a specific hour of the day, you'll see them get killed. I've only been able to get that to work once, though.

You can't train any skills using the punching bag, you don't get any exp.
You can "i"nteract with it to unbind the guy and take the item. Both my maid and guard are strung up.

!

I was going to ask what I could do for fun but I know my destiny now. I will eat my way to power.

Eyo fam, how do I take stuff in this game?

The tutorial tells you to press space. But I'm sitting on top of a bar of gold and my character just looks around.

Have you played any rogelike

The only roguelike games I've played had text inputs. So I guess no

With g, the tutorial is shit so here is the keylist from the ingame menu, also you can see the in-game help menu with shift+?, The binding are capital sensitive and you can hotkey things to the numbers for more comfiness

neat, thank you.

PROBLEM SOLVED

It had something to do with my salary box. So I emptied it out to prevent further errors.

Use zero on the num pad.

OH shit.
She does has bette davis eyes.

what have i gotten myself into anons?

Give your little girl a custom sprite.

I thought this was going to be more fun.

Pirates are everywhere, teleport rods only seem to move you 10 feet (is there a way to quickly return to town?), some fights are downright insane.
I go form full HP to dead in 1 turn against a seemingly normal enemy, can't even react, and I'm in the begginner dungeon and am level 8.

Sometimes I drop dead during travel despite having travelers rations. For some reason my char stopped eating them automatically.

All the loot is trash since it sells for shit, half the jobs are tedious to impossible…

What's the best way to improve STR? It's my worst stat for some reason, despite going around in heavy armor and a two-hander.

Lumberjacking and carrying lots of stuff.

Rogues aren't that difficult with exception of their boss, unless your fame got too high.
No, there isn't.
If that enemy has brackets and isn't chess piece, be careful.
If that enemy has {} brackets, just run away.
Just go to puppy cave and not to Lesimas.
Are you sure picked right food? You must take cargo food that from general store and not rations.
There better ways to get money, but don't worry about it right now.

Read a scroll of teleport + run
A scroll of return will return you to a few select areas. (Your home, Larna once you've visitted it, last level of lesimas, void).
Like in all roguelikes, some enemies are just incredibly more dangerous than others. It's weird that you're getting one shot, but shit like kobolds are a huge threat early on.

Maybe you got the wrong food. Btw, try to eat cargos/bakery foods only when you really need to, they don't train stats at all so other foods are superior.
Low level hunting jobs, escort quests and gathering quests are all pretty viable. Add "before it's too late" to the list if you got SLB.
Heavy armor doesn't train STR. For quickest gains two hand a longssword, axe or scythe while burdened(not burden!, burden).

Teleport rods are your go-to method for escaping pirates, but they'll only get you out of the immediate danger zone; you still need to slog it on foot to the map border to flee. Make sure the rod isn't cursed, and be prepared to double or even triple-cast to get as close as possible to the map border. Bringing a pet or two to soak aggro will also help and can mean the difference between survival or death.

For returning to towns, Return and Escape spells let you Return to certain major areas (your home, for instance) or Escape to the overworld map respectively, however they have a warm up period so they're not very useful for when you need to immediately flee.

Post character and equipment info, it could be that you're build is fucked in some way.

You mean a caro of traveler's food? In Elona+ they're only consumed when at "Starving!", only only when on the overworld so it may be that you're entering a town just as you lapse into starvation. Regardless, traveler's food is terrible and one of the first habits a new player needs to break is relying on them for food - the gains you get from properly prepared food is so insanely vital that the longer you try to survive on traveler's food, the harder things will get.

Until your identify an item it'll sell for fuck all. Identifying weapons and armor is rarely worthwhile since you have to do it each and every time you find a new one, but generic items like "blood of X", "skin of Y" or "mana crystal" can be identified once and then, from that point onwards, ALL "blood of x" or "mana crystals" you find will sell at their identified pricepoint.

All the jobs have a difficulty rating listed next to them, so be careful not to pick a massively high-grade job. "before it's too late" jobs can be a good source of quick cash (It shouldn't take more than 4 days to get to or from Vernis to either Palmia, Yowyn or Derphy), just try to avoid trips to Noyel until you've got gear with some decent Travel Quickly bonuses - the snow around that town means you'll be walking for days to actually get there.

how do?

elona.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_NPC_sprite#Pet_graphics

Fixed

How do I lumberjack?

Haven't noticed an woodcutters axe anywhere so far, nor a job.

Escort quests require high speed and luck (PIRATES!)
Harvesting quests have a terrible time limit, I keep failing them even tough I go only for big plants, like people suggested. Could be my low STR.

I'm having a hard time finding anything else to eat. I don't have a farm and the food you can buy is expensive.

I always indentify everything. But the cost of identifing usually is greater than what the items sell for.

Have some allies for them, high speed or wear glass to raise it a little. Check plants with * to know, if it this big or not.
Go to Yowyn, there is food everywhere. Do puppy cave quest for portable mini-fridge.
Just buy sense quality skill and wait a little items will identified.

I think he meant free material places in dungeons.

Do you have portable mini-fridge?There is a few trees in yowyin and palmia that you can bash for food, you can also find some of those on harvest quests, Learn the gardening skill from the trainers, after you have leveled up gardening a little bit the harvester quests become really easy.

Was skimming the wiki yesterday, apparently you can cut down trees while having a bardish in your inventory (heavy axe). This produces wood material for a pot of fusion recipe, which creates furniture.
I didnt invest in carpentry this run but I do have jeweler leveled and the sister recipe with stone materials (from plain old digging) is very profitable, specially if you have a shopkeeper at home.

You will notice that as you identify stuff, the cost of "Identify all my items" at the wizard goes steadily down. This is because at first it charges you for identifying everything about an item, however your character learns the basic type of item at that moment (bone, book, skin, tight rope, potion, etc), even without Sense Quality. After that, the wizard only checks for things like beatitude, charges, etc, which is much cheaper.
The exception being equipments which are never worth carrying their weight around because they sell for shit (unless at your own shop, if you owned a shop you wouldn't be reading this). It only makes sense to hold onto them if they are Great or better, or of a material that beats whatever you have. Sense Quality is important for seeing this information quickly.

What is yakasha of minus?

Yakasha is a character in Elin, the next game from noa. She was found on the spritesheet in Elona first, i think. She has some ties to Jure. Not a lot of info on her.
I hope Elins development is still doing well, it's been 6 months since the last video so i'm a bit concerned.

Ok so I have a question/dilemma
I started a rabbit farm for income which turned out very well, every time I return i have almost a screenful of milk and eggs.
So now I wanted to breed asuras for hand slots for my upcoming pets. Since the rabbits are so productive, I simply replaced the rabbit breeder for a mitra one. It's been a while without a new mitra. The remaining rabbits are still fucking about the farm and shitting eggs and milk. Is the farm now wired only to breed rabbits? Do I have to murder all the rabbits? Do I just set up a second ranch and hope they break even?

No, but ranches have limited amount of monsters that can be in one.
No, but you will want to for rabbit tails.
Only, if you ran out from space and don't want to kill monsters yet.

Any big bugs in the new version? I haven't updated yet in case some things were all fucked up.

I don't think Asura monsters can give you extra hands.
I think they're considered humanoids, and humanoids NEVER give any body parts when gene engineered.


Last time I checked, identifying was absurdly cheap, specially bulk identify, to the point of bulk identifying 5 items was cheaper than identifying a single one. Don't know if that was intentional.
Other than that, pretty solid. The skill potential system was being reworked and a was tweaked a lot for a few weeks but it's already stable.

That was intentional and it's been like that for a while. Investigating items is for rare artifacts that you can't identify using scrolls or cheap methods, the equivalent of "Greater Identify".

Asuras are of the Asura race, not any of the human races.
That was nerfed a couple versions ago. Identify cost increases based on your Fame now, up to 100,000 Fame.

Where do you read your scrolls of ally for better results, or does it not matter anymore?

...

This is the farthest I've ever gotten in elona too. I should just sit down and grind my skills out. Now that I know the change material scrolls work in a line I should just find some good equipment with good resistances and upgrade them.

Kill Frisia, Ultima, and Azzrssil now faggot.

Who are they?

You see those black castles on the overworld?
Those are the name of the bosses that are inside.

Are they hard?

Like level 45 each.

Doesn't matter.

...

You can beat stuff 10~ levels over yourself easily with a pet and being careful

That doesn't really count for bosses. With bosses you need to be within 5~ levels or so depending on how well you built your character and if you really abused wizshit autism and min-maxed.

...

Anyone wanna upload it to the vola?

Can someone reupload the RPG music comp pack? The link is dead.

Did anyone ever tell you that you are a cool guy?
because you are

Is there a good freeware program for spriting/pixel art? I wanna tinker with some of the sprites as I havn't found any pre-set sheets that tickle my fancy.

Also protip for martial artist bros-

Jiu jitsu is good for swapping up if you are whiffing or tickling an enemy because of a DV/PV difference. Remember to toggle them and get a feel for what works best on what enemy type.

Use claws until you hit roughly 150-ish martial arts skill. Then you can ditch them. I Dunno if they changed it but having the claws adds accuracy damage and stats- But it also culls down your multi strike chance with martial arts. And at that point of skill your damage dice is starting to get crazy anyway.

If I'm using a twohander can I wear a claw without a penalty? I never quite got what they are.

Claws are weird- They are classified as shields but they don't give shield bonuses I think nor do they enable shield bash.

Wielding them trains the shield skill like holding a tonfa would- They are mostly just straight up for the flat accuracy and damage added. I have no clue if this even applies to other types of attack other than martial arts.

Also I think in that situation it might behave either like a shield or turn off two hand. I havn't tested.

Claws will add bonuses to other weapons, even ranged weapons. Claws can also be worn in the ranged slot, applying their bonus while twohanding or unarmed. To use twohanding all of your other hands (if any) must be completely empty. To achieve the maximum number of attacks with unarmed all your hands (if any) must be empty

That's some handy info.

Thankya muchly

Tailoring is actually very simple to get up, I had this problem before. If you want, you can just mod it in with elosnack, but all you really have to do is grind low level dungeons during nefia fever and gather all those materials.

I would mod it but it will suck the achievement out, maybe when I do it on a few characters and just wanna ease the grind. I feel like you should do something vanilla first before cheating.

One last thing is anyone is still hanging around.
What should I look for in equipment? I have good armor and a shield but I noticed that I have kinda ignored everything else.

Depends on your build but trying to cover up for elemental and magic resistances are the important ones.

Early on, I usually go for light armor made of glass, since it boosts speed. Once you're stronger, you might set your sights on specific artifacts. (For example, the Lucky Dagger makes a great offhand or throwing weapon, and the Gloves of Vesda are very good gloves.)

I AN WARRIOR STRONK
so like high PV armor and weakness covers. I can always use change material to make the armor not shit right? I always look for good augments on the stuff too but I guess I shouldnt really worry about that unless its really good.

Should I be selling my food that I cook in my own shop? Or just to a vendor?

Setup your own shop and let your pet selll the food for you, not only the food will not rot but you will also get more money if your pet has a high level on negotiation, A pet with high charisma is also reccomended as charisma boost the amount of clientes you will get per day.

I seriously need some better resists

wew

Loyter would like a word with you

I don't see Invest 50 as an option. Elona+ 1.71

Do you even have enough money?

haha

Can a guy get a reupload?

IT IS DONE
volafile.org/r/HF33Go

ded thred

you need quite a bunch of money, wiki says you need 20 times the cost of Investing once, but the last time I checked trying to Invest 50 on my home wizard from rank 75 costed 26~ the Invest 1 amount.
I can only recommend hoarding invest+ items at home, they make a huge difference. Casting or quaffing gem before investing also helps a bit

26~ times
fuck

i remember some user making graphs about elemental scar + 1 bolt spell vs magic dart. What is 'best' spell to cast with elemental scar? lighting bolt?

yeah fuck this

Nigga just use the magic lesson vendors in town to up your buffing magic, and speed yourself while casting slow. when your slow is up to 20t or 30t you'll be ready to fuck him up no problem.

What level should I be to fight him?

I just finished fighting Zeome, he was a total joke. I was pretty over leveled though, I'd been dicking around and not paying attention to the main quest. Got him down to half health in a couple of turns and then one of my pets invoked time stop and smashed him.

I think most people do it around level 30 or so.

Hey I'm almost level 30. I've been a melee fighter but I've been thinking about getting some casting levels for some buffs. That or using rods more but it feels like magical device training is hard.

evolving the little girl you start with(you did start with one right?) into a Valkyrie which has the Cheer ability (buffs str and speed) will help

I need an evo heart right? I'm level 29 right now with my main guy, where can I get a heart to do it?

what do, I don't wanna disappoint oneesan but there are other items to get and other god pets to fuck.

Come back to her as soon as you're done cucking other gods.

They'll start spawning in dungeons after like 35-40~.

I've got a lucky day in the middle of nefia fever. I just had a lucky day a couple of in game weeks ago so I used up a lot of crafting materials. Guess the only thing to do is craft with whatever I have now and continue to gather more. feels like a wasted lucky day though.

I dismissed this because I thought this raised the _potential_ of the skill instead of the skill outright.
Speaking of potential, does it affect learning rate from skillbooks?

Awww yeee. Now I gotta work on my magic device next.
Also whats with the sewing change? I don't have it a huge amount due to being able to make bank with dresses.

Potential affects all exp you gain
