My experience with Elona.

Go outside, fight monsters, die. Go outside again, fight different monsters, die.

Go outside, run real fast to get to the nearest town, have no money to actually buy anything, go outside, fight monsters, die.

Run out of food, starve, have no money to buy more, go outside, fight monsters, die.

This a game for masochists or something? I honestly don't understand.

Waiting for some significant Elona+ updates so I can make a new character. My current ones has 264 healing skill which has become bugged out, skill wont rise unless wearing very specific items like the <Hiryu-to>, weird.

Most Elona+ discussion is in the /vg/ roguelike thread now.

I enjoy it, but I'm guessing most of /jp/ has forgotten about it which is a shame since Elona+ adds a lot of stuff and drastically improves the grinding. Also, development on the third continent is starting.

>>10586481
As of version 1.10(current version is 1.15555), some of the dialogue has been translated. Not very well though. Some of the sidequests and the South Tyris main quest specifically.

It's a learning game, like all Roguelikes. You get hurt/killed by something, you learn to avoid that. You get something cool from an item, you learn how to replicate that. You have to figure out how to proceed based on what happens to you.

I tried giving this a go a year or two ago, but I couldn't really get into it. I think the controls or something confused me. I liked that whole rotary thing, but it wasn't the sort of roguelike I was used to.

I think the best class overall is Golem Pianist. You get awesome weightlifting right from the start, good complement of skills, you're way tougher than average, and you get Riding right off the bat so you can leg it over to Yowyn and fix your shitty speed at level 1.

>> No.10586762

>>10586752
Non-combat is half the game, and is especially important to growing your character and getting dosh. Trading, farming, mining, fishing, playing music, escorting people, you can do plenty of things that don't require fighting.
You can play the game and barely touch combat outside of running away from enemies, but you'll never finish the main quest. Which is fine, since the boss is tough as shit for most and the second continent is even harder.

On the other hand, if you don't kill things you'll never evolve your little girl into a Valkyrie.

I like the stamina regen for fishing and cooking, its really tedious without it.

>>10586760
They seem like one of the best from an "end game" perspective. 150 life is pretty hard to earn for other races and being a Golem is the only way to get dim immunity, which ironically makes them good mages even with 70 mana as dim mess's up spell casting badly. If playing Elona+, their base speed isn't even a issue in with all the new speed gaining methods and new pets to ride.

Class's in Elona+ actually have their own secret hidden "feat", so its worth picking a class for the bonus then paying for the skills you need. http://waa.ai/9Vp

Depends on your play style I guess. I've got a ton of stuff to pass down to any new character I might make, so the early game will be easy. I suppose if you make new characters often class skills are better, though I've spent 500 hours on my current character and like the extra accuracy archer gives me even if its small.

when stamina is regenerated the hard way your hunger/sleep meters go up. so more stamina expenditure = eat more (stat gain) and sleep more (potential gain/faith gain).

Oh thanks for the tip. In that case being able to eat more often is somewhat useful, my character is a Juere which doesn't need to eat as often but that is kinda detrimental now that I have infinite food for stat gains. I level up so often from the void that I just use level points for skill potential, but a new character would defiantly want to sleep more often.

>> No.10586978

>>10586731
From my experience then you must avoid absolutely everything, have no money to buy food, starve to death, and die. What drove me to try fighting monsters again the last time before I deleted the game was I was starving and had no money to buy food.

I guess perhaps there's some way of earning money that doesn't involve fighting monsters you can never hope to beat at level 1 but after running around for 4 or 5 hours I never found it.

The game is a pain in the ass and as I said earlier, it must be for masochists.

Look for a throwing weapon like a shuriken and use a 1 handed weapon with a shield, don't go to the enemies just throw until they're next to you, only then should you melee them.

Don't fight slimes with melee or they will acid your gear, throw all day stay off the puddles, you've got poison res so kobolds are less of a trouble raid the first floor of puppy dungeon for SCROLLS identify them until you find an oracle one they will always be identified from that point on so keep selling them, keep entering/exiting the first floor of puppy dungeon to reset the place for more oracle scrolls don't go deeper.

Do non combat quests or low rank hunter ones once you got some gear, identify gear you want to wear to avoid curses, there is probably more I'm forgetting so just keep learning.

>> No.10591677

>>10591641
Most equipment is generally worthless unless you have a shop since the player can only sell them at 5% of their base cost. Exceptions are types of equipment with much higher than normal values. Kite shields, plate mails, bulletproof jackets, pope robes, vindale cloaks, feathers, seven league boots, speed rings, aurora rings, and fairy hats. Sense quality is considered useful for discerning the artifacts from the crap equipment when doing dungeon runs so you don't burden yourself carrying tons of junk equipment.

Furniture in general isn't worth much except for a few particularly expensive types with good quality and material. They aren't worth the weight in general especially since you can't sell them in your shop.

Generally you get a better idea of everything's value as you play the game. The most valuable things you'll find are generally useful and rare potions/scrolls which when identified are identified at first glance whenever you discover them in dungeons.

Pure selling fodder consists of ores(mica, rubynus, etc. not ore piece which is just junk) and monster parts.

But most of those spells you won't bother casting. If you've started as a Juere, it won't be that hard for you to segue into casting later on, but just focus on hitting things for now and try magic when you're more experienced with the game.

I hate how there comes a point where your character cant reliably train a combat skill due to all normal enemies being too weak to give you any evasion skill or dieing in 1 hit making it impossible to train a weapon skill.

I want to be able to kill the gods and their second form for the super weapons they drop, but how can you become strong enough to fight them if you cant train your combat skills (besides magic on a sandbag)? Also all enemies from floors 1 to 200 of the void die in less than 3 hits and give no AP, but at floor 201 they scale immensely and can 1 hit you in most cases giving you no middle ground to train.

>>10598361
I tried using the lists too in 1.09 and had a similar experience so I just settled for a few elemental damages on a shotgun. While I'm glad there is a way to get the scrolls without having to use a wish, you'd think they would be a medal/music ticket item or make them only sold at souvenir vendors instead, already got 20 of them now.

The Elona+ dev nerfed living weapon names sometime after 1.06 since I was able to abuse the list for a good shotgun then.

In 1.16, it's now possible to choose from a much larger variety of enchantments making it much easier to mold your living weapon. However the enchantments have been nerfed in strength and returns are diminishing so no more easy super weapons.

What point is there to just catching a couple of bells of termination and just having them kill everything for you while you hold down 5? Your character just standing there as those bells slaughter everything and he just reaps the rewards. In terms of style, it's just lacking and unfulfilling.

Hmm? But it's the most efficient way of playing.
There isn't a whole lot of achievement in elona as you just continuously dungeon hop, hoping to find some marginally better equipment.
Why would you willingly cripple yourself? If you think that is associated with style, why bother with equipment then? If grinding is what you accept as achievement, then having a completely gimped character with no additional power ups, purely made powerful by grinding, would be the only way to go.
But that hardly seems fun to me, but I understand that we might find different things as being fun...

That' not what I play Elona for at this point. In terms of equipment I've already gotten it as good as I expect it to be and I rarely do dungeons.

I don't even grind my character's stats anymore since rampage is so powerful. I'm currently waiting on Irva since I completed the South Tyris main quest already. Also doing fighter guild quests now at a slow pace as well as waiting for a statue of Ehekatl to pop up in a dream before continuing my God loop. Don't do dungeons much since any high level one will level me up if I clear out more than a single floor.

In terms of online it actually has some functionality regarding that. You can see other currently playing players' death messages and wishes as well as chat if you press the tab button. Nearly nobody uses the actual chat function though.

There's also moongates, player uploaded areas you can access in game through randomly spawned moongates. The moongate uploader only works in Japanese though.

Well first of all, four of them are very easy to get static artifacts. The Sage's Helm and Shield Tonfa from Miral and Garok's workshop as well as the Palmia Pride and Ring of Steel Dragon you get from doing the fairly simple main quest. The Crimson Plate is also a precious artifact, but it drops randomly off blade type enemies.

The seven leagues and vindale cloak I got from the strange scientist. The fact she rerolls whatever artifacts she has at the time whenever you open up the menu is a fantastic boon.

The living shotgun I bought off a wandering merchant, it was originally some low quality material like iron which made it fantastically cheap. The kite shield was bought from my in-house blackmarket vender for several million gold. The bullet was rerolled from some crappy godly ammo in my shop to one with five different types of special ammo.

I stole the bulletproof jacket from an adventurer apparently since it has the it's stolen attribute.

You need to refresh the list a few times as the shopkeepers are somewhat random, but yeah, you can get in house blackmarket venders.

In terms of strength, I can fairly easily survive and do level 100 dungeons without difficulty with only a mount. I actually actively keep my level down by wearing growth disturbing equipment most of the time, the equipment you see in the picture is stuff I only wear for really dangerous enemies like the final boss and Arma the Tour Guide.

The main things are cheer, rampage, and special ammo combined with my living shotgun. Cheer to speed up Pascal to like 360 speed, rampage to double my damage, and special ammos to freeze time and shoot three or nine times per turn. To mitigate stamina costs, simply drink soda.

The final boss of South Tyris was actually much easier than I expected. I brought several dozen blessed Jure potions and a stack of soda as well, but it went down in like a dozen turns. Rampage is really powerful.

Whenever I do a high level dungeon, I pretty much direct Pascal into defensive mode, detect objects every floor to find the stairs, then zip down to the bottom and only kill enemies there. I manage to do high level dungeons without leveling up that way.

In terms of surviving, if you bring Jure potions, means of teleportation, and return scrolls, you're honestly never really in danger. There's also the fact you can pray for a full heal, hex removal, and veil buff at any time which most people forget.

>> No.10599658

So rampage helps with ranged damage? I thought it was melee only...
And what is the purpose of not leveling up? I mean, maybe it's because my character is yerles, but I can easily stash 200+ extra skill point ups while giving myself stat potential boosts constantly thanks to leveling up...

I can pretty much clear any dungeon I go into without bothering with any special effects, potions, or scrolls even when I have only one bell with me. I have pretty much killed all non worshiped gods sans siva so I don't think that my lack of strong equipment is really a problem.
I would understand your reservations about using strong pets if you were doing everything yourself, but you seem pretty reliant on your's while keeping yourself week, so I don't really understand your justification for it...

>> No.10599693

Rampage even helps with magic damage apparently.

Also pretty reliant? My mount? I could actually speed myself up to her normal speed if I just used my AP and speed upper potions thinking about it. If I undid my special AP feats which I've discovered is possible since you can only have two at a time I could have like double hers now actually. I don't because I just like saving the AP though. I'm also not at that much danger without Pascal as even at 100 speed since I have little trouble killing things. It's not like Pascal does much damage herself since I don't even have her use a weapon.

I can clear entire dungeons without worrying about stuff, it's just that I don't since everything gives so much experience.

The leveling up thing is just something I've been sticking with for a while now. I know there's no real point to it anymore, but I do it since I have the growth disturbance gear and I've gotten all the feats I've wanted already.

I don't think I'm keeping myself weak, the numbers go higher at any rate albeit slowly.

Though I wouldn't bet it'd be impossible to do at a hundred speed without summoning Gods.

Well yes, the problem I had was I considered using bells of termination to be on the level of trivializing the entire thing, but then remembered I trivialized it even more by simply using Opatos.

To me, there's a difference between just killing Siva by yourself and using bells to do so. However I came to the point that there's a difference between views here and that to you, there is no difference so it doesn't inhibit you.

I plan on resetting Siva's dungeon at some point and killing him legitimately, but that's probably a long time off.

I imagine my character as an adventurer, I even put the slight effort of cropping a random picture and giving her a face portrait. Imagining my character just standing around while bells of termination handle the mightiest of enemies just seems lame to me. That's just me and how I prefer to play regarding enemies at the end game. I could invest in the monster ball shop, buy as many 105+ level monster balls and just catch as many bells of termination as I can and swarm the stronger bosses with them. I probably won't however.

You however play the game without regard to that stuff and more in regards to efficiency. That's your own style, the fact you're at the point you can kill Siva already in so little time is evidence of that. We just play differently.

According to most who've played Elona+ in South Tyris (The current endgame), PV trumps DV and elemental resistance is king. That doesn't mean you can't wear Light Armor, but it's better to use Medium even with magic, since you get an ability to boost your casting ability after you beat Lesimas.

But if you're not going to play in South Tyris (which is fine, since everything there hits like a truck and 90 percent of the content is untranslated still), then DV/Light Armor will get you through all of North Tyris's content more or less. In that case, a Fairy is one of the best end game classes, because of their natural dodge and resistance bonuses.

I've completely stopped using pets and focused on my character entirely. At one point my goal was to defeat Yerleswood with brute force, character strength/spells only, I've done that now using crystal spear so my new goal is siva and the actual gods.

But as I mentioned here >>10598433 there comes a point where you cant reliably level some of your combat skills due to the way level/stats vs enemy level/stats influence combat skill gains/AP gains, as a result crystal spear with the <Vital flayer> seems to be my only option as the void doesn't offer a good middle ground to train combat skills.

I started this character in version 1.04 and have updated the save for each new release, its possible that certain things like the void aren't behaving properly in my save due to changes with each update. I also have this bug where my healing skill only increases when wearing the <Hiru-to> and <shield Tonfa>, possibly a save game error? I don't know why it requires those exact items to be equipped now but it started when healing got to around 200+, was hoping 1.16 might fix it but its still bugged out. Maybe I should just make a new character now.

As of 1.12 the void only starts scaling at floor 201.
Shit sucks. I found a way to send my items back to previous versions, but got lazy and went back to 1.14 because my character was way weaker back then.

You can alter anything that uses numbers, so if you get one of something you can make as many as you want, any other rod you could just give it a million charges but rods of wishing only have one charge so it's hard to pin it down in the editor.

What I did to get my first one was simply beef up my mana and casting skill, buffed a wizard harvest spellbook to have thousands of charges and bruteforced until a rod finally dropped.

My level of tech sorcery is rather low, but I believe it's only a matter of changing the value of one rod to that of the rod of wishing.

Well I tested it out and it SEEMS to be working so far. Managed to convert a Rod of Holy Light into a Rod of Wishing with 100 charges using Elosnack.

Some things to note though, you should use a rod when you do the editing (unless you know the item appearance value), else you'll end up with a lockpick of wishing..like me. In that instance it doesn't seem like the charges are visible.

You can get the static value files here (second one):

http://elona.squares.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2697&start=120

Anyway, assuming that I need to get the book first, would switching the game's language to Japanese just to read it be okay? Or will I need the game to be on Japanese too to wish for it?

Na, maybe I should try that. Checked the bug reports and I think a jap guy has reported the problem for version 1.11, but its still persistent.

I killed them all then used a deed of removal to move my home, spent a few days away but they're back. The only other way I can think to fix it would be to initialize your home, but that would remove all items in it and reset its appearance, too tedious as new visitors might come and stay afterwards.

Are you using magic as your main source of damage? If so you had better get in the mages guild right away to reserve spell books.

>> No.10610560

I only use magic on harder monsters. I've been farming puppy cave for spell books/donation items so I haven't really been using my magic much.

And yeah, I'm 2 points away from the mages guild... but luck hasn't been going my way for a while since I can't find any more ancient books.

The "new" purpose of the Wizard Harvest spell in Elona+ is to give you enough books for the Guild quests. I don't really remember if the plat/medals rewards were nerfed along with the wish rods, but it might be worth your time to use those harvests if you're close.

Was it an oversight to let the player dominate panic quest monsters but not challenge quest/ void ones ect? Don't use pets much now, but its fun to collect scaled up ones for EX monster battles, japs have 500+ speed little girls or something.

Is it viable to keep one pet and just constantly level it, or it is just flat out better to replace them as you go.

>> No.10610912

>>10610888
Better to just replace in most cases, though some pets like bells are good to level as speed is hard to raise, low stats/skills don't really matter when they attack/heal so fast, plus you can gene engineer stats if needed.

That said it can be too easy to use the most optimal pets, so sticking with a little girl or whatever and leveling them up might be more rewarding, I've mostly stopped using pets for the sake of challenge though.
