Depends on whether sleep is a special action here, which it doesn't seem to be.

What are the best ways to make money in Elona+? I have enough to afford a museum but with a bit more grinding I could get a shop instead.

>> No.15300962

>>15300922
The shop will give you a better return than the museum, as long as you have a decent shopkeeper. The most efficient way to get money is through dungeon completion, but if you're not ready for that then board quests are easy money, as well as cargo running if you have seven league boots. You won't get what you need by picking up whatever you find on the ground, due to the way the negotiation system works.

I didn't really mean to do it for their stats, just for the rp value, or whatever, you just level them up normally afterwards. And their ini is based on post-soul spindle stats, not what they had before.
I know that if you want a strong starting pet you just monster ball it instead, but this would just be more as a curiosity, I guess, if I ever decide to make a new character, can I soul spindle him a god or two, and then use them? Maybe also get a good starting pet to skip North Tyris to get the Kumiromi statues.

Just talking to NPCs can raise their relationship with you. It can take awhile to get to the upper levels but it's there. Gifts can be found reliably on a vendor in Larna especially if you invest in him/her. Be prepared to pay a lot for them though. Throwing love potions should work. Only problem is that you aggro the NPC doing so. Might have to leave the map and come back for them not to attack you.

If Larna's shop isn't affordable and you're not willing to save scum on general merchants you should probably just put it off, or be prepared for a very long "grind" to get better gifts. By that I mean just going about it the long way and waiting for inventories to stock the right quality of gifts, or wait for the NPC to magically hit the peak relationship that they'd normally hit from conversation.

I've never used anything but manics so yeah. But then I didn't need to use an ALP outside of testing until I was around level 200.

Superior Material and Change Material scrolls both just add another prefix to the cheap gift (like rubynuswork cheap gift).

Return gets you an easy path to Vernis, Larna. By extension, you can get to Port Kapul and Lumiest relatively easily as well. South Tyris Checkpoint is probably the closest you get to Derphy unless you actually want to place your house there.

Personally I never bothered, since I only needed Derphy for quick Travelling mods on pets, and I set up a storage outpost with a gene machine there instead. That and the Thieves Guild wasn't that useful.

If you're seriously in doubt, then stick to Palmia. Eventually every quest ties back in to Palmia, and unless you have a tax collector box (which might be a good thing to invest in if you hate transit) you'll have to go back to the embassy every so often anyways. Truce Grounds is nearby - as is the blank shrine in Palmia itself.

If you can survive Ragnarok (and the associated etherwind) with no trouble, then you're good to go. better that you have a way to kill lots of enemies quickly at once (magic ball, meteor?). Then it's just a matter of opening the occasional chests that drop from the dragons. I forget whether the spawn count is based on map size, making it most effective in a player dungeon.

>> No.15306102

>>15306058
Ragnarok is based off on proc on hit, so the quicker you are the better. Defenses wise, you just need proper elemental resistances, or enough speed that you can oneshot every monster before they attack you. Thankfully for the most part Ragnarok's monsters are pretty weak, so if your resistances are good the residual effects should be more of annoyances than hazards.

>>15306081
Don't think it's based off of map size, the reference frame for summoning seems to be generally the same regardless. You can test it out by using Earth Dragon's Dance (Houzanha) and demolishing the majority of the dungeon to check the spawn range. The player dungeon gives you a good static place to perform the summoning though, so generally that's the advantage it has over just using it in a random dungeon or town.

This is very cool. The only problem is I'm lv 11 and it's lv 1. Would a few runs in Puppy Cave level it quickly?

Gene engineer stuff into your bell if you want, but bells are mostly meant to be low-maintenance pets to get you through the early game. Later on bells don't scale well.

>> No.15306642

>>15306564
If you're steadily burning through dungeons, the levels are going to increase, based on the level of the highest you've done. You can only reset this once you go into Act 2.

The bell's speed is technically a force multiplier, it can easily handle things that are a couple of levels above it if it is equipped with a sufficient weapon. It'll level steadily enough if you go through dungeons. Be wary that if you get too dependent on it, it can come back to bite you in the ass later.

Open a shop, get a slave pet with Negotiation and good charisma to run it, then set your shop type to whatever you can get the most of.

If you have a farm/ranch with the Cooking skill, set it to Food shop and sell every scrap of food you make, even the cursed refuse piles. You'll get a decent amount of money daily, and even more items of the same type will get put into your safe so you can keep that shop type open longer before running out of stuff to sell.

Pet's have their own spell damage formula but enhance spell does work for them too. I'd go off of the spell technical wiki rather than the spells wiki. The spells wiki is has some outdated information.

Anyhow, pet spell damage is Casting * 6 + 10 = Spellpower and when a pet has enhance spells it's SpellPower = Spellpower * (1 + EnchantStrength/1000), where EnchantStrength is capped at 1500.

About 850 hours in for me it seems. Been playing the game off and on over the years. I never restarted my file or made a new character and just stuck with this one since forever.

Now that I think about it, I'm about 850 hours in and I haven't even capped one single skill or even one single spell yet on my character. Pretty crazy considering how other games play out. I'm close to capping at least two skills though. I'm also close to capping the max amount of AP a character can get if the wiki is right about 80,000 AP being the max.

First get the stethoscope item. Use it on your pet and you'll see a bar. That bar is its HP and also comes in two colors. If it's red/pink that means your pet is full. If it's blue that means your pet is hungry and will most likely jump at any food on the ground to devour. It's better that you prepare meals for your pets and drop it on the ground when they're hungry. You don't want it just eating anything off the ground especially if its rotten since it can reduce the growth of attributes. Naturally, undead corpses are always rotten.

You can get a stethoscope from a general goods vendor or find it as a random item on the dungeon floor. Investing in said vendor can help make it show up I imagine.

If you must keep things look into storage deeds available at the embassy or the dungeon deed. If you're a spell caster you can look into the 4th dimensional pocket spell.

Materials are used in crafting things so in order to use them you need to use a crafting tool such as a gem cutter, alchemy kit, etc.

As for your pet, if you haven't beaten Zeome and are still in north Tyris, then only concern yourself with keeping your pets potential high at the moment. You can do this by having your pet visit its trainer in town which will train both its skill and attribute potentials. All you have to do is walk around town or rest and the pet should automatically visit its trainer assuming it has gold to afford its trainer. To have your pet afford its trainer let your pet loot the gold, gems, and other stuff of worth on dungeon floors. If you can afford to, let your pet loot the gold off of your dungeon boss kills as that's the fastest way for them to get gold. If your pet has the pickpocket skill that can help too. By having your pets potential be consistently high all the time hopefully it will level up its skills faster and also gain some attributes through it in the process.

As for no real clue where to go or feeling lost in what you need to do as far as the story goes you can always check your journal. You're not in a rush to complete the story though. Take your time if you need to. It's not going anywhere. Do dungeons, start your own band, become a farmer, become a harem lord, whatever you want. You can come back to the story when you feel ready to.

Once you get to south Tyris you can concern yourself with the more complicated things in raising a pet. Along with keeping your pets potentials high, you should look into feeding your pets herbs to actually increase their attributes quicker through just eating stuff. Setting up herb farms will accomplish this.

Speed is one of the most important attributes in the game and an easy way to increase your pets speed is by seeing an NPC named Leold and exchanging AP for speed. Potions that increase speed can help too. By now, you should have an idea of how your pet attacks and what skills govern those attacks. You want to raise those skills and the easiest way to do that imo is AP exchange with Leold as well.

I'm on my fourth pet now and have been doing everything above. Raised her attributes through herbs. This particular pet has a tendency when called on to the field to start insulting her enemies. As she approaches the enemy she throws panties and pelts the enemy with magic dart. Once close enough or if she starts out close enough, she unleashes MP breath. If she's in melee range she tends to use her whip and sometimes brainwashes enemies. So I'm focusing on the skills tactics and casting to up her damage. Going to raise them using AP. I may have her learn magic storm as well.

As a side note, a pets trainer cost is based off a pet's INI score and charisma. A low INI pet with a high charisma score shouldn't need a lot of gold for the trainer. My pet however does as it has a ridiculous INI score but I tell myself it's because succubus are high maintenance. The wizards had it all wrong about needing fancy magic circles to summon a succubus when all you needed were stacks of money but I digress. Anyhow, good luck with your adventures.

This overlooks the value of spellcasting and music tickets early on. You aren't going to get extra life and mana from herbed herbs, and you're definitely not going to grind small medals for the last 1200 speed, you're going to get it from raising the spell level of summon spirits, which means buying scrolls of wonder, which means the earlier you start, the better. For powergaming, I wish someone would've told me how to (ab)use summon spirits early on, rather than 200 hours into my playthrough. Meteor is also nice.

True, but I had no idea what kind of character he was. Also, I tried tailoring what I said to answering his questions as simply as I could without writing a literal FAQ or scaring him off with too much information at once. I was already writing a block of text and figured if he wanted more in depth knowledge on something specific he'd ask me or you guys would answer it.

While I agree with you that it's better to start the collection process of wonder scrolls as early as you can if you're a caster or a person who hasn't shunned that aspect of the game, you certainly aren't screwed by any means by not doing so. Certainly can complete the story without increasing life or mana. Ditto for killing the demi gods and the gods too.

I didn't start the whole gathering of it until I completed South Tyris because that's around the time I learned about it. I also didn't have the 1000 or 2000 life/mana when I went to kill the gods either. I only had the default life and mana attributes when I killed the pantheon on my character. Shortly after that I took on the challenge of having my pet Yuki, the little girl, solo Itzpalt without my help and for that I got serious about leveling summon spirits.

On a side note and as a reminder, 2000 life and mana used to be the number to aim for and it did increase life and mana in the past at that number but now 1000 is the hard cap. Any increase beyond 1000 does nothing for you.

It's a means to an end. You see, if you take a party quest and replace(kill) the regular NPCs with high level spirits from that spell while keeping the named NPCs, you can earn an amazing score by impressing the spirits and named NPCs. I do this through mass distribution of love potions with alchemy rain. I can make about 2 million music tickets every few in game days from doing party quests like this. I use said tickets to purchase hero cheese and magic fruit from the NPC Stoke. The two items responsible for raising the life and mana attributes respectively. Both those attributes play a considerable part in the calculation of max HP and max MP. I also can use said tickets to supplement my herb supplies. Pretty much I can get around 1000 herbs of my choosing every couple of days in Elona. This supplements the many herb farms my character Kai already has and as such I have plenty of herbs to go around for me and my pets such as her >>15323499. Eating herbs leads to attribute growth/training.

You could also use the tickets to buy speed uppers if you want to but so far I've never had to use it for that purpose. I originally maxed out my speed with Kai >>15318528
using AP, Hermes blood, and the speed uppers I got from dungeons.

Since Hermes blood needs medals to get, and most of my medal scavenging came from dungeon boss drops, and I needed to kill big daddies for their little sisters, also found in dungeons, to get copies of Kumiromi statues for herb seed generation, I had no problem with getting my speed to 2000 without tickets.

It is an option though but do realize that when I say you need high level summon spirit spell I mean high. Like lv 300+. You'll need around lv 1000+ to get the amount of tickets I rake in. I was able to max out my speed long before I was able to get enough stock and spell levels in summon spirit to pull off the above but that might be due to when I started farming wonder scrolls.

Damage wise the numbers are technically higher for raw magic, so technically if you're going for a munchkin build and looking to pump out the highest possible numbers without considering possible enemy resists at different stages of the game, then it's one of the best options.

Back in the day, rainbow spreads were useful to hit the 15 attribute cap, since living weapons used to be infinite, and you could stave off the bleeding effect infinitely if you knew what you were doing with mat kits. But at the same time, you didn't necessarily need to be using elements to fill the slots, they just happened to be more effective back then. Nowadays with living weapons capped off at L15, things are a lot more straightforward.

Not sure actually if a legacy build from an earlier version would retain those infinite living weapons actually, some of those things were ridiculous.

Same could be said about every video game ever. Once you've played enough games, almost all quests start to sound like they follow a generic formula with the same objectives at their very core. You either like repetition or you don't. Although if you don't like repetition I can't see how someone ever gets good at anything. Not exactly talking about video games in this case but whatever.

>>15346275
Hello fellow gunner. Instead of worrying about how to become overpowered you should worry about just keeping yourself alive to start with. A lot of the stuff that people use in the game to accelerate their character's rise to power isn't available to you to start with. So instead, I would suggest solving the problems that are probably plaguing you right now which are gold and keeping potentials up.

Gold should be obvious in why you need it and having so little of it is a problem but the reason why you want to keep potential up is because the higher it is the easier it is to raise your skills and attributes.

For gold, you should be getting a decent amount through your hunting but you might want to expand into other avenues of wealth generation. Have you gotten a wish yet? If not, have your pet drink form wells or do it yourself if you're especially daring. You'll get one eventually. Use your first wish on a pair of seven league boots. Once you get a pair, look into doing job board quests like the one called before it's too late, escort quest, and possibly cargo runs. Use the wiki to get you up to speed on how to make money from selling cargo.

By doing job board quests you should be getting gold but another perk of doing them you get platinum coins as well. Use the platinum coins to learn skills your character doesn't have. To do this, visit the trainer NPC in town. Once you get the mining skill, start knocking down the walls in your home/cave to raise constitution. Once you have weight lifting do harvest quests in Yowyn. All those vegetables you're forced to lug around will train your weight lifting and in turn may help you raise strength.

So you have all this gold now, new skills, and may have raised some attributes along the way. Unfortunately, your skill and attribute potentials have all taken a beating. Your attribute potentials show up as hopeless and your skill potentials are 100 or less. You can use your platinum coins you've earned so far to increase skill potential from the trainer but for your attribute potentials you will want potions of potential. Magic vendors carry them and they will show up more often if you invest gold into them. Try to get their shop level to 150 when you invest in them. Also, don't just invest in one magic vendor. Invest in all the magic vendors you've come across. There should be at least one in every town.

By now you should be able to do low level dungeons if you haven't been doing them already. Dungeons give gold and platinum as well. Most importantly they give medals but that's a discussion for another time. You now have several options at generating wealth and should eventually have enough to buy yourself a new home. Try to aim for a castle or if you're incredibly good with saving your gold and or making it, get a palace. Fill it with magic vendors to further help you in keeping your attribute potentials up

Do you have a pet? Have you been taking good care of it? If you take good care of your pet your pet will take good care of you by cooking you breakfast which will help in restoring attribute potential. Try to get your pets relationship to fellow or higher and sleeping at 9PM to wake up early for said breakfast.

By now you also should have some ether corruption. You've been doing dungeons right? Those material spots you've harvested should of yielded you some casino chips. Use said chips at any random blackjack table in Palmia or Derphy. Win five times in a row and you'll get a potion of cure corruption.

Anyhow, that should get you started in the right direction for the game. Once you or anyone else taking note of this has actually landed themselves a castle or palace, a decent amount of gold to their name, and a character sheet full of superb potential and 400% skill potentials, you'll be in a better place to take advantage of any further advice or talks on the matter of growing your character's power. Since you're also further in the game, you'll also be able to actually understand the stuff referenced.

Looking forward to your or anyone else's character sheet post that manages to even get as far as the point mentioned above.

TLDR: Read the pastebin. The stuff mentioned is in there r-right?

You can get a lot more. I have 8. You probably ran into the same bug I did.

Go back to the board and check and for new magic vendors to hire and they should be listed.

http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Riding#NPCs_with_the_mount_bonus_or_penalty

If your goal is to max out that pet, then initial speed doesn't matter - the only thing that matters is the starting bitflags and INI number. A level 1 NPC like a little girl or putit or older sister all have chorse bitflags (not sure about their evolutions, someone should test that!) and also have low INI numbers. Chorse isn't absolutely necessary, but it makes riding more effective when starting.

[Changes and additions]
* Added 3 floors of content to Act III main quest.
* The conversation windows in cutscenes will no longer display impress, attract, and anniversary.

[Fixes]
* Fixed special abilities granted by non-AP feats getting displayed in the list when you change equipment after hiding them.

[In development]
* 300x500 full-body portraits (black is transparent) can now be selected for pets in their respective conversation windows. This is so that you can have them ready by the time the update is released.
** Details on how to use these is in help.txt in the user folder. Another portrait can be designated for Form Shift.
** Characters that have a full-body portrait set will no longer display their regular portrait in their conversation window.
** If the full-body portrait is too wide or if the game window is too narrow, the picture will stick out of the conversation window so you'll need to make sure it's of the right size.
** You can have different versions of the full-body portrait - one for normal state, one when weakened (HP less than 50% of max), one when having fun (musical note icon is displayed), and one when happy (heart icon is displayed).
** It takes a lot of effort to make different versions of a portrait, so it's possible that I won't create any more conditions.
** This is to strengthen the feeling of having a loyal partner throughout your adventures.
** I'd like to create something else in the future that also uses these portraits.

The only info I've been able to find on difficulty is that dying multiplies your current score by 0.1 and No Future gives a 20 times modifier to your final score. So deathless No Future runs seem like the way to go.

I've got up to Zeome on my current inferno run and I really like the game, so I'm hoping to try some score runs next, but I can't find any info on how time relates to score. If score is decreased with higher turncounts (like other roguelikes generally), then speed runs and careful resource management are rewarded and that sounds like a fun challenge. If it increases or is is unrelated to turncount, then the best way to get score is to just grind like a naive run and it doesn't seem worth attempting.

Absolutely no one has been able to give me a good idea of how score works, though.

Keep like one or two copies of common request items for some easy platinum and gold. Also keep a copy (in your house) of every tool type item - stethescope, pot of fusion, carpenter tools, command flag, taktstock, whistle, etc..

Give gem items you don't want to your pet(s) so they can sell them for money and train potential. Keep Rubinous, Emerald, Sapphire, and Diamond in your home somewhere for when you can use pot of fusion to refine them - then get your pets to sell them for way more money.

Check the item fusion crafting list and keep ingredients for anything you might want to craft in the future.

Get the Sense Quality skill from a trainer if you don't already have it - as you level it up it will allow you to tell whether an unID'd equipment is bad, good, excellent, miracle, or godly just by looking at the item. At that point keep only Excellent or better.

Only identify items you need to upgrade (i.e. if your weapon is miracle then don't bother identifying Excellent quality weapons), and keep any item identified with useful bonuses (bonus levels to crafting skills, elemental resists, etc).

Do keep an eye out for Spellbook of mutation as I believe there's a quest later that needs it.

Potions you can mostly just quaff for Alchemy skill training. Keep a few potions of silence handy to silence enemy spellcasters, potions of slow for RP purposes (bless them then quaff to slow down your aging).

Always pick up spellbooks, regardless of what it is. High spell stocks are always good. Some of them are ancint books that you can turn in for the mages' guild quota.

Identify all the scrolls (mossy, bloody, blurred, etc.) so that you know what they are before you pick them up; don't want to accidentally miss a scroll of gain attribute. Keep identify and (greater) enchant weapon/armor, that's less money spent on expensive NPC services early on. Keep inferior scrolls, use them to turn engagement rings into raw and eat them for charisma training early on (won't need to do this mid-end game). Keep and bless uncurse scrolls, as they have the additional effect of uncursing your entire inventory. Keep or pass on scrolls of vanish curse, there won't be many instances where your equipment will be doomed. Pass on useless scrolls such as detect items and magical map, these come in spell or rod form and take up inventory space.

Keep health potions on the side. You'll need these for emergencies when you're silenced and/or dimmed and cannot use spells. I tend to miss with silence potions due to my piss poor throwing skill, so I recommend a rod of silence if this is your case as well.

Inferno mode is the same as no future but with permadeath. It's even harder so why would you think inferno is fun if you don't even like no future?

>> No.15354107

>>15354020
Inferno and No Future give people a more of that "hardcore roguelike" feel, so for people that expect to be punished and enjoy being tormented on top of what RNG can do to you already, it's good for that. If you feel like normal holds no challenge it's not bad to try, but "difficulty" in inferno/no future can also be really just seen as unavoidable deaths in some circumstances. Some builds definitely aren't as viable in those modes compared to normal. When the game was more buggy and crashes were more common, basically you'd hit unavoidable slaps in the face. The stat loss that came with the penalty was mostly what people found irritating about bug crashes.

The equipment destruction thing is mostly an issue in early/mid game. I don't remember if the enemy damage equipment destruction pierced through things like acid proof, though I do remember that degradation was a pretty prominent thing at one time, and you'd naturally see your +10 drop to a -10. Pretty sure the karma hit wasn't as high as -100 though, but it didn't matter too much when most NPCs could kill you off early on.

Overdose lures people into a false sense of complacency. It's fine for roleplay builds, but generally it kind of gives a false impression about the nature of the game. Removing the grind is one thing, but when the endgame is essentially a never ending grind, overdose just makes that revelation a bigger slap in the face for some people. Generally if people are going to play overdose I'd just suggest elosnacking and doing a more controlled "grindless" run. snack in some potential pots every 5 - 10 levels or something, I dunno.

You can quit and save anywhere, only quitting without saving will net you -100 karma. It will also permanently remove life.

I liked playing No Future but the karma punishments for killing cats and dogs was honestly too much for me.
It's annoying as shit because they're all over dungeons and pets attack them on sight.
Made the game more annoying than it was worth. Every other part of the mode I can deal with, but you will be locked to Derphy with a -100 karma pretty much always. You pretty much can't dungeon dive at all, so I gave up playing No Future.

>> No.15354380

>>15354191
Anything is "viable", but in no future generally the preparations you need to make aren't the ones you might be thinking of. From a broad perspective, No future just increases the amount of grind you need to do by making it more necessary to grind before you start dungeon trawling.

Dying in inferno generally isn't bad since it's over in one go, but dying in no future can be potentially even more infuriating if you haven't gotten used to the idea of not using the best equipment you find, and just always wearing sacrificial loadouts until you need your best gear for a boss. Once you get to used to that and know what mobs to never fight for karma reasons, then dying isn't that big of a deal at all.

The early game for no future is actually not too different if you generally dive puppy cave anyways. Don't use a pet unless they're there for meat shielding, don't be afraid to die as long as you don't have anything important on you, and dump stuff off quicker than usual. If anything it just increases the amount of trips you need to go back and forth.

If you go about it willy nilly and lose all of your karma, then yeah karma management can be a pain in the ass but if you micromanage it out down to the individual step level a lot of that can be bypassed. Generally people start grinding for hero cheese from the get go, even using sub optimal methods. Though back in the day this was because the Life/Mana permaloss could happen randomly.

At the end of the day the playmode isn't that much different from other roguelikes. If you already approach the game with the mentality that any death (you or pets) means wiping the game entirely, then you're probably fine to go through no future.

Use function, living weapons always have a use like living force weapons. Crafting can yield living weapons, hence why living spears are so easy to find. Living lightsabers and panties are a bit harder, but generally crafting is far more reliable to find living weapons than hunting for them in the wild.

Really only eternal force weapons are harder to find. Of course, by no means should you think that they drop like candy, even crafting them it generally takes a massive amount of crafts to hit a living weapon, but the rate is far higher since the concentration is higher.

Let's put it this way, It is very normal to go through the entire game and hit the early level 1k range without ever finding a single living weapon. Especially if you don't save scum. If you're constantly crafting though, you'll very likely find one before level 500 or so. If you're save scumming crafting, it's basically guaranteed.

Not really. You need to identify any weapon that is miracle or higher. Once that's done a quick examination should indicate whether the weapon is alive or not. An entry saying that it's alive along with level and exp will show up on the weapon. Pic provided is a living staff I never got around to leveling. Might make it into a literal resist stick. Think I got this particular living weapon from the safe in my shop. So all the weapons you identify and find are junk should be sold at the shop in hopes that NPCs will trade an actual good weapon or living weapon for them.

Don't actually need to identify. If you don't identify, they show up on the use menu as pic shows. You can confirm that it's not an eternal force by actually pressing on it, where the weapon will then say "this weapon needs more blood" rather than the eternal force confirmation.

Why does anyone cast spells when magic device seems a lot more reliable when you get some levels in it and carpentry? Rod of lightning bolt is available at carpentry 17 for pretty easy to find materials.

I'm a gunner, wizard, and magic device user(1575 skill level). There's a couple of reasons why I wouldn't give up casting completely in favor of magic device. First and foremost, there are spells that there are no rods for. Second, unless a meteor rod comes out, casting trumps magic device in damage every time. Third, the draw/fill rate is absolutely horrible which makes using dupli actually very attractive to me however dupli decreases rod damage.

While I only need about 500 more points to cap magic device my spells on the otherhand, are only at the lv 700 range to 1150 range. Still plenty of room for my spells to grow in power in comparison to magic device considering the spell lv cap is 2000 as well? Even now my spells put out decent damage. My meteor spell at level 833 puts out more damage than my lightning rod even with quick use on. I actually can count on having meteor for use due to how long I've been farming wonder scrolls.

Don't get me wrong though, magic device still does great damage all things considered. Also, there's a very important reason why I picked up magic device. That reason being the fact that there will be circumstances where you will wish you could still use spells but can't through casting. I deal with a lot of enemies that can cause insanity, dim, and confuse. Casting with any of those on you is a very dangerous thing to do.

That's where magic device comes in as I can use rods through all those status ailments. I can also use rods if I ever run out of MP. As long as my rod charges hold out or my stamina holds out rods are a nice option for me. If all else fails I always have my gun.

I think magic device compliments casting very well and I see them as beneficial to each other. Either through the above stated things or even using rods to restore MP or even to get rid of hexes when you can't cast. Maybe I'm biased because my character is a Eulderna though. I did start out with both skills.

Dungeon levels that show up on the map increase as you do higher and higher level dungeons. So there's that. There's also the void. Enemies there actually scale in power the deeper you go. Lastly, you get an item later that "awakens" dungeons. You know how tough/durable dungeon bosses can be? Imagine every enemy in a dungeon like that. Also, a funny thing to me at least, is the fact that enemies in awakened dungeons don't wait for you to come to them. No, instead they come to you! Literally upon entering the floor all the enemies on that floor are making a bee line to greet you. Then there's the actual floor hazards and I don't mean those tile pit traps either. At any rate, plenty of fun for even the most experienced adventurer if you consider scaling dungeon levels, void, and awakened dungeons.

I should make mention though that said item that awakens dungeons is a permanent item you are in full control of. You get to choose whether to awaken a dungeon or not. However, if you do awaken a dungeon there is a special artifact fusion item reward that can drop. These items can increase attributes and other things. The drop chance for said items increase the higher the dungeon level is when you awaken it.

But yeah if you do want to do awaken dungeons consider the dangers and if you're ready to take them on.

It's strongly implied in the subtext and lore dialogue that the distinction between Elea and humanity isn't actually as black and white as it seems, and that there's been a massive amount of genetic disruption occurring since the Gods first started fucking around with stuff.

If the world map is correct, and this is a large if, then with the majority of Elea separated by an ocean and isolated by the forest, it doesn't escape the realm of possibility that the Elea are perhaps merely a highly evolved branch of the base "old humanity" following a continuous and highly concentrated exposure to the ether particles.

Consider also that stable mutants, be it from ether "sickness" or experimentation, do exist in the world, and further "evolution" is being undertaken by certain countries.

Some people swear by the Cute Fairy for her seed making capability, which is very useful to get early on even if you don't have a farm. The black cat is a bit more dubious but is generally better than other cats, and her special ability isn't necessarily too bad.

The Exile is a good caster option if you have no casters to speak of, and even if you do, he holds his own rather well, considering what other options you tend to have when you can first get him. The Black Angel is a more firearms/bow oriented range option, but also good. I don't know how frequent she uses her speed support.

Generally people see the Android as being the most useless of the bunch, but with recent updates she's not entirely useless. Definitely nothing really stands out about her, especially with the nerfs that are going to land soon to armour bit, but still not totally useless. Go for whatever complements the rest of your team.

The main issue besides the upcoming nerf which will hit her, is that she lacks any appreciable form of killing. Casters will out kill her at the same speed pretty much any time of the week, so she's left hunting for scraps. She has no range options to begin with, and ignoring E+ Custom, vanilla E+ doesn't give you any real AoE besides the Element Storm - except she sucks at casting.

The stats there look good on paper, but realistically any pet given enough pampering can reach those levels, even more if you intensely micromanage them to control their leveling. Your gear also looks a bit on the low side.

I put my house near Palmia because Palmia is sort of in the middle of the map. If I cast return on my home I can get to other towns in roughly similar or short time.

Honestly, you can put your house anywhere you like. Especially since you can get that tax box from Miral and Garok's workshop and set it up at your home. You can pay your taxes with that box.

All I recommend though is that wherever you plant your home that you have a lot of space for expansion. Well, if you plan on doing a lot of farming, setting up storage units, a discarded ranch, shop, museum, etc anyhow. You want them to be somewhat in walking distance from your house.

My farms stretch almost all the way to Vernis which grow herbs to feed my character Kai and his pets. I'm reminded of a trick I remember reading awhile ago. While I didn't do it for this trick, I do remember that some people in the past used to set up property along the road like I did connecting it in a way for cargo runs. The reason why they did this was because as long as you were on a property tile these cargo runners wouldn't be assaulted by random encounters and bandits. Wonder if that's still works.

Palmia has the "advantage" of being part of the center hub for Act 3, so combined with a king's bed (if you're not up to stealing it), the embassy (for early tax if you don't want to buy the tax box) and the truce grounds being relatively close, it's generally where I set up shop.

Lumiest is good for magic guild and such, but I don't mind warping to Larna and walking backwards that way, so I don't always set up shop there.

Derphy isn't bad if you're playing a no karma build and walking into towns is death.

My methods for securing a lot of herb seeds is something you build over time. I like to think the methods mirror the snowball effect as the initial stages won't yield amazing results but if you keep working at it the yields just keep getting more and more impressive. Pretty much have Kai and his pets completely on an herb diet.

Anyhow, one of the main methods I use to secure herb seeds is through Kumiromi statues. Once you've beaten Zeome/Act 1 you'll have access to South Tyris. One of the quests you can pick up in South Tyris rewards you with a Kumiromi statue. If you use said statue it can give you herb seeds. There is a cooldown of about 5 in game days. What I did was get multiple copies of the statue through the little sister quest given at the Cyber Dome. The idea is to get a ton of statues so that every 5 days you have a lot of herb seeds waiting for you.

To add to this method, one of the Kumiromi god rewards is a gemstone that restores withered plants. I would also grab multiple copies of this stone so you can make your herb seeds go farther.

My second method, which also takes awhile to set up as well, deals with getting the summon spirit spell to lv 300+. I think it was around this level but it's been awhile for me now since I'm around lv 1100 in summon spirit, that I was able to summon high level spirits into party time quests. Impress named NPCs and these high level spirits though love potions to net yourself tons of music tickets. Exchange music tickets to the NPC Stoke for herbs of your choosing. I can get about 1000 herbs in a short amount of time using this method.

Other methods that may help is doing harvest quests in Yowyn as those quests sometimes reward herb seeds or having the cute fairy pet from Kumiromi's god reward line produce herb seeds once in awhile.

No matter how you slice it. It is a grind and you really have to come to terms with it. For me, I took solace when I was farming little sisters that I needed to do these dungeons anyways because I wanted the dungeon boss medal drops to fund Hermes potions for speed.

Realized my second method doesn't exactly deal with herb seeds but for what it's worth, deals with getting the actual herbs which is what matters in the end.

Currently working on creating a multi hand pet. Since oozes and similar creatures can extend multiple rape tentacles, it's pretty easy to imagine them as multi handed creatures. Think someone mentioned earlier that the body complication problem by going over 13 slots doesn't apply to pets.

I went to test this myself by making a backup of my save first and then going over the 13 normal slots. Noticed that the speed dropped for my pet. Specifically the first number before the parenthesis. Is there something special that needs to be done not to be afflicted by body complication? At any rate, restored my backup and I'm fine if it actually turns out that I can't go over 13 without bad things happening. On a side note, I hope that Ano eventually remodels our character sheet some day. I like our current character sheet but would like everything to actually fit onto the character sheet. I can't see all of my shoggoth's attacks.
