is there a more efficient way to level combat skills than wrecking dungeons and spamming gauge?

Is there a solution to the bug where guests will not leave the house and take up servant slots (E+C)? Other than resetting the house preferably, but I'm about to try that too
>>
>>17513528
From what I heard in these threads find a decently tough enemy with a healing ability and wall yourself in with it. Then just keep fighting with it as it heals itself.
>>
>>17513559

They do leave but it takes forever and a half.

lvl 32, haven't really encountered anything that heals itself well enough besides zeome.. at the moment I'm just spamming summon monsters and killing them to level
>>
>>17513588
Why NOT just farm dungeons? Pick up the Statue of Opatos to reset them every 10 days if you need to. You should level all your combat skills and get some decent loot as well
>>
>>17513568
I mean I did fire my maid.
>>
>>17513608
>>17513559
Resetting got rid of the existing extra stayers (and not the normal ones, oddly enough), but hasn't solved the problem with new ones. They are supposed to leave after you exit the building, but they were still there on multiple exits/reenters and then spending a month (from 7/15 to 8/25) walking around the snow.

I know I can just not allow anyone to come in, but that's a pretty big feature to lose. If I wait until I have the "correct" 8 servants I'll still be cluttering up my home with extras that seem to never leave.

The bug started happening after I remanded the god I had staying there and killed the "shopkeeper" who did nothing (no options except talk and bye). Before then everything seemed to work normally, although I had too many servants to hire better ones.
>>
I just don't get it, what is this game? Lurking and watching videos just confused me even more. It's like someone got a super computer, got high as fuck and added a fantasy setting, every shitpost known to man and everything the human-sized bunny next to him ordered him to into it, put it on 200% randomness and out came this. I just don't get it.
>>
>>17513670
That description is mostly adequate.

That and some basic skinner box rpg elements and you have a pretty addictive game.
>>
>>17513689
Of course by basic it's more like every single one possible. Everything is a skill to grind and you do it not just for your player character, but for pets too.

Kind of reminds me of Runescape, but there's more to do and the pacing is much faster. Plus the aforementioned shitpost humor.
>>
What race/class do I pick if I want to be a min maxing faggot?
>>
>>17513814
snail
>>
>>17513814
Personally, I'm quite fond of the Fairy Battlemage. I don't really know how well magic holds up in late game, but I guarantee you it's the best race/class for a magic-user anyway.

Fairy starts with huge Mana and Speed (the most speed of anything), with speed being king in Elona. They have a HUGE DV bonus that makes them pretty much unhittable early game, and continues to scale later (has both a flat and percentage increase). High base resists as well. Low health is easy to overcome, especially with such great defenses, but you can always just eat more hero cheese. The 1s equipment limit is nasty, but barely affects a Caster (who wants light armor anyway) and you can use Flying Scrolls to reduce an item's weight later if you need to equip something heavy.
>>
>>17513814
Fairy is probably the min-maxing faggot race, because even though they have a massive penalty in being unable to ever use anything weighing more then 1s, they have MASSIVE innate resistances to most things.
>>
>>17513920
And Flying Scrolls can permanently reduce any item weight to the <1s range if you have enough of them. Expensive and time consuming, but if you want to use any specific artifacts you can.
>>
>>17513528
>>17513566
One of the ways is to do it like this is to find an enemy like hermit crab ect, destroy your speed as much as you can, and then just beat the shit out of it.
Your slow speed will allow it multiple turns to roll for a heal and you should have made yourself nigh invunerable enough to be able to heal back any damage taken.
>>
>>17513920
Fairies can't use Magic Equip, however.
>>
>>17513948
Particularly as Elona+ gets rid of the penalties for making items light.

>>17514074
That's true, but its hard to beat having high innate resists to most of the things in the game before you even have to consider your equipment.
>>
>>17514074
Magic Equip is only a 20% buff. Medium armor gives you a flat -8% to your cast chance, meaning you will always have (at least) a 9% fail rate. I don't think it's worth the tradeoff, even before considering "giving up" the fairy race.
>>
>>17514102
warmage counters part of that though, but it's till not that good IMO. Plus you have to spend a turn and stamina casting the buff, which only pays off after 5+ spellcasts.
>>
>>17514065
sounds good. With fetters of earth I have around 10 speed

Do you need to be wearing medium armor, or be at its weight limit to be use magic equip?
>>
>>17514404
Be in the medium armor range, which checks your [equipped] armor weight.
>>
>>17514412
Unrelated to the fairy thing, but do weight classes take into account weapon weight?
>>
>>17514404
There isn't light, medium or heavy armor. it just depends on your total weight equipped. Since medium is over 15 stones, you can't reach that as a fairy unless you had over 15 body parts.
>>
>>17514434
Yes. And ammo.
It's the sum total of everything you have equipped.
Just look in the upper right corner of the equipment window.

starting class doesn't matter for lategame minmaxing purposes
it only affects starting stats+skills plus which class feat you get, but anyone can learn any skill in the game and you can change your class feat later on with a business card (to thief or warmage, probably)
>>
how do I check my pets body parts? idk wtf to put on my fire dragon kid, is it just a martial arts pet with megid flame later on?

Hi jpsies, new starter here. I've been trying to get into things but I feel like even early on there's a lot of things that I am missing out on, and my potentials run down below 60% in the skills I'm working on. I'm pretty sure there's something dumb going on from my part.
I'm a mutant farmer and have gotten a ranch and at least some stuff set up, no feet yet so I wished for a bed. I've also been equipping gear with luck, but maybe this is completely useless from what the pastebins are saying, and I've also died a bit when dungeoning which probably fucked me over even harder.
I think I'm starting to understand what I'm fucking up at least, so I'll make a few new characters and see how things work out in the early hours. Should I save the level up points and spam platinum on one thing exclusively instead?
>>
>>17515041
Oh and also for cooking, should I learn it myself or let my loli take care of it entirely? I haven't really understood how to use the gene engineering properly so I just do everything myself. And when leveling cooking in town it's fine to just spam rest and let time pass, right?

Strange that the HP cap is 20 mill 15 HP instead of just 20 mill. Wonder why that is but that's the hard cap. Lv 6,666 seems to be the cap for monsters in the void. The wiki suggests the cap for the player is lv 10,000. Guess I'm getting closer to it.

Why aren't you playing some sort of fairy warmage or are you but you changed the class at character creations? What do you think is the best race class combo
>>
>>17515121
he answered that somewhere before I think, race and class don't matter too much later on especially at his level
>>
>>17515121
fairy is bad for minmaxing unless you are into martial arts..and then its still not very good since your buffs couldnt be maxed. The one and only true race for minmaxing is mutant, and it sucks for roleplaying actually the opposite .
There arw several good choices for endgame, btw. Mostly depends on playstyle, and warmage is simply a 'safe' choice.

>>17515071
After 300 levels of the void i suddenly realised that enemies grow astonishingly slow with each level. I hope awakened dungeons are more difficult.
>>
Last time i ask /elona
should i min-max my gene for loss mutant or give minimum necessities just to have a slght chance to get past act 1 without extra limbs?
>>
>>17515232
I'll say it again, you can use Flying Scrolls to equip ANY item as a fairy. Unless for some reason you want medium+ equip weight there's no long term disadvantage.

Mutant is an interesting point though. You can get like 4 arms or something to max out melee damage that way, though it does come at a speed penalty.
>>
>>17515240
Which one do you want to do
>>
>>17515232
choices for endgame classes* i mean.
>>
>>17515243
magic equip, and you can say farewell to 3x crit damage multiplier or sky-high two-hand bonus.

>>17515244
DESU i wnt to abuse gene to the max for once, but i'm afraid it'll turn the game into something extremely boring and i'll just level gardening on my endless plantations instead of finishing act 2/3 without taking hp damage
>>
>>17515243
mutant is very, very complicated if you truly desire a min-maxed char. Speed penalty is fully avoided by riding a mount and/or using gamma core
>>
>>17514865
You basically take the body parts that drop from mobs and resurrect them as zombies using necromancer coffins. Pretty sure the zombie level and type scales off anatomy, magic device, and how strong the monster you got the body part off of was. I could be remembering wrong though.

But every enemy your spooks kill increase your anatomy skill to make stronger spooks.
>>
>>17515269
Oh? So i can become part-time necroshit to learn a bit about dissection and then swim in quickling stakes?
>>
>>17515121
Fairy Warmage doesn't fit my playstyle. It's not a bad combo but it wasn't a good fit for me. Kai is a Eulderna Predator. Changed the class name at the beginning of the game just because I felt like it. No real reason but at any rate, I started out as a Predator and still am a Predator.

I personally went with a Eulderna Predator because I wanted to play a martial artist mage hybrid. Eulderna covered most of my casting skill needs while providing a good beginning attribute spread for hybrid play. Predator helps my martial arts out in providing me the eye of mind skill without having to join the fighter's guild along with other necessary melee skills. The innate increased crit chance and starting speed buff is nice too.

So I designed my class/race combo based on what I wanted to do in the game and what I felt comfortable with. This combo worked for me but I understand if it doesn't work for others. It's really up to the player to find what works for them and provides the most comfortable experience for them to achieve what they want out of the game.
>>
>>17515240
>>17515256
Additionally, regardless of the gene this char will most definitely be my last and i'll drop this game after death.
probably
>>
>>17515256
>magic equip
Trash skill. 1.2x spell damage at the cost of wasting a turn and taking a -8% (additive) penalty to cast chance. It CAN work out in the long run, but 99% of the time it's not even going to be worth the effort to cast.
>>
>>17515294
use it for buffs, meteors and god figths. Getting 3x spellpower cap instead 2.5x makes it such a trash skill yeah.
>>
>>17515294
1.2x spellpower doesn't just mean more damage, it also means better stats and speed from buff spells.
Warmage class feat gives +5% cast chance so you can still be at 97%.
>>
It's supposed to be impossible to get two of the same unique artifact, right? I have two Arbalest
>>
>>17515346
It's just because you don't have it on you. If you left one at home, the moment you try to pick it up or drop the one you just got and try to pick that up it will turn into stardust.
>>
>>17515346
Depending on which game/version you are playing, either the second one will turn into Stardust as soon as you pick it up while the first is in your (or a pets) inventory, or it will turn into a random different item of the same type.
>>
>>17515352
Ah I see, I picked it up again and it turned to dust
>>
>>17515273
Yeah totally, you can do anything you want whenever you want. You can get to level 4000 as a mage and decide you want to be a gunner.

Yesterday I had a dream where someone was talking in-character like a scientist about his research into ether disease. He said that very high level characters could get up to 27000 Perception from the ears of the beast. Kai appeared and said that was awesome, and started practicing in a basketball court with his waifus after giving cat ears to everyone. I told him it took him too long to do that. Then someone else said that they were making a Kaguya CNPC, and that she would be Weak to fire. But someone else replied that giving her a fire weakness was nonsensical, since she has a treasure that nullifies fire damage.

Now I want to make a Kaguya CNPC.

Race comes in three flavors for late game:
Fairy, with insane defenses but a 1s limitation forcing you to farm flying scrolls and do without weight-based bonuses
Mutant, with a variety of different body parts not available to standard races
and everything else. Even Snail can overcome his speed penalty to be basically the same as the regular options.

Looking around a bit, there were quite a few more derivatives of Elona than I thought there would be.
Although a lot of them don't appear to be active anymore, a couple are still updated, such as omake_overhaul (a derivative of a derivative of a derivative?), and some of the rest at least lasted till 2015.

What made Elona+ the definitive spiritual successor? I guess it's the amount of new(fanfiction) content + consistent updates?

You get the same message when rubbing yourself with or without a brush on you. When squeezing yourself you ponder your life decisions. Magic kiss on self doesn't do anything, bewitch shows the little animation but otherwise nothing. Using a stethoscope on self when female makes your character blush, but you don't call yourself a pervert (you already know).

>>
>>17518476
The spawn rate of Big Daddies drop as you eat more Little Sisters.
>>
>>17518490
Ranged extra attacks are capped at 1 for regular attacks compared to 3 for melee, but ranged does have special ammo, and will get new gauge attacks in the next E+ version.
>>
>>17518476
The quest is repeatable and is the only way to get duplicates of some precious items.
Killing Sisters permanently reduces the Big Daddy spawn rate.
It's a grade-A way to fuck your file over.
>>
>>17518490
Guns are.. okay. kind of. you have limited 'charges' for special shots that actually deal substantial damage, and without that special ammo damage is pretty horrible. To recharge you need to craft one-use item or go back to town's blacksmith for refill.

However, guns are exceptionally strong with those ammo charges, especially burst ammo - its one of the hardest hitting tools in this game.

So, guns are good in general but require some flexibility from the player with item management.

If you want guns, i recommend going yerles or mutant. Best early gun type is machinegun, there are several good unique artifacts later, but avoid pistols. Shotguns are great for shooting at melee range, sniper rifles are exceptionally good overall if you get to some 200 skill/attribute levels, laser gun is always a safe choice after early game.

Xbows and bows are not much worse, sometimes even better than guns, btw.
>>
I was going to get diablo for my little girl but then I got a drake rod from a dungeon. This is the first time i've seen "it stops time", "It deals (element) damage" and "additional attack" so I have no idea how good they actually are.

Which is better?

http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Diablo
>>
>>17518547
Why would being a mutant be good for a gunner, the extra arms?
>>
>>17518511
its not '3' for melee. you can have up to 8 total attacks per round with melee, or some crazy 20+ attacks if you are multi-handed mutant, it all depends on build and melee style.
Easiest damage dealing method early is two hand melee style - 1 weapon without shield. Easiest lategame style is martial arts melee and magic.

But pretty much everything works in Elona, only some builds require more effort than others.
>>
Can someone explain "Nefia Fever Mode"? All I know is that somewhere, something has better loot and probably more danger. I'm not sure what or where though.
>>
>>17518592
Nefia is the name of the continent (elona = Eternal League Of NefiA)

Fever mode basically applies to every dungeon you can go into, I think, so just raid any ones nearby when it happens. You'll know it's under effect when you start seeing music tickets in dungeons.
>>
>>17518578
extra hands/arms/feet
interlocking shooting mechanism is not a bad enchantment for gunner, and direct damage boost from gloves and claws makes it easy to boost damage.
Another important point about guns is that you get full benefits from wearing shield, unlike melee or mage characters. It greatly increases survivability of your PC.
>>
>>17518564
Diablo is annoying on pets unless you disable spell animation completely. Drake rod is worse, tho.
>>
>>17518584
I've never really tried melee to be honest. I always play a caster as my PC and load up on high-speed pets with ranged weapons. The last thing I want to do is tell a Bell or a Quickling to rush into melee range, and by the time a slower pet gets to the enemy it's either going to be dead, or it's too dangerous to risk getting close to.

Playing a melee PC would change my whole paradigm on the game, but I don't think I can get into just bumping into enemies for combat all game.
>>
>>17518613
Elona need autocombat and auto exploration like Crawl. I want to otab for 8 hours straight.
>>
>>17518613
I realize that a well-trained melee pet can probably handle the "too dangerous" enemies, the problem is they never really get a chance to train unless I grind them specifically. At least in a ranged party everyone gets a chance to take a shot.
>>
>>17518584
It's max 1+3 attacks PER WEAPON in melee. 8 total attacks is the max with two weapons (1+3+1+3), so it's the max for most characters. If you have 10 weapons equipped in 10 hands you'll get at least 10 attacks.
>>
>>17518599
Tyris is the name of the continent. Nefia is the in-lore name for dungeons, named after a previous era from which they originate.
>>
>>17518599
Tyris is the name of the continent (divided into North Tyris and South Tyris). Nefia is the local name for what most games call "mystery dungeons".
>>
>>17518613
bells are the best for melee actually. No hands make them perfect for MA once you boost their life with ruby gear and cheese. Evolved dragons are great as well.
But, its whatever suits your gameplay style in the end. I can suggest several ways to avoid problem that you mentioned, but i think you should just play how you like instead of min-maxing everything like some of us.
>>
>>17518629
nope. math of elona is much fancier than thsi, and martial arts got limit of 7 extra attacks out of the box. I'd ask you to prove your opinion with a piece of source code related to this limit(you wont find it i'm afraid)
>>
>>17518599
I think the flames around the clock appear when nefia fever is in effect. It doesn't say specifically, but they seem to coincide.
>>
>>17518661
Martial arts is a special case where you can get seven "Furthermore" attacks with enough MA skill and "It increases the chance of extra melee attack" enchantment as long as you don't have a weapon equipped. Normal cap is 3 "Furthermore"s per weapon (this also applies to martial arts with a shield/claw equipped).
There is no hard cap of exactly 8 melee attacks per round; it's disinformation/urban legend. I've posted screenshots in previous threads of a mutant character getting 11-13 attacks per round.
>>
>>17518633
>>17518635
oh, whoops.
thanks for correcting in a nice way.
>>
>>17518547
Zero Shoot is also stupidly good.
Kiting means you can turn a mobility advantage into a certain victory if the circumstances are good.

Melee can thrive on "run forwards and mash arrow keys", ranged is about kiting and spacts and ammo.
>>
>>17518691
There IS a single hard cap of 7 extra attacks. If you have more than one weapon you can get more than 8 total attacks, obviously. Burst ammo allows whooping 30+ attacks per round.
DW skill got extra attack bonus from the skill level, in addition to equipment's bonus.
Multi-handed mutants got soft cap of only 1 extra attack per weapon for DW style once they get past 6 hands.
>>
>>17518605
Mutant gunner is for more ARMS, not hands. having more HANDS reduces extra attacks exponentially. read the code. Use gloves, not tonfas. Stop at 2 hands.
>>
>>17518728
Multiple possible Shoot slots when?
>>
>>17518661
Fuck you. We've posted this source code multiple times about 9-10 threads ago. Clearly you haven't been here so why are you talking. However, yes you are correct, melee attacks aren't capped the way they said it. Fuck, this code should be in the pastebin. Just google 4chan handkazu, it's the only result.
>>
>>17518731
Probably never, to be honest. I think shoot slot check is hard coded to only accept 1, but I ONLY BRIEFLY SKIMMED that part. Would probably be real complex to change. However, I'd fuckin love it.
>>
>>17518740
The formula's on the wiki:
http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Equipment_attributes#Chance_of_extra_melee.2Franged_attack_in_Elona.2B

It doesn't have anything about the extra attack caps, though, and I'm pretty sure that you can only get one extra ranged attack from "It increases the chance of extra ranged attack" effects.
The entire extra attack system is incredibly confusing. If I could understand the source code, I'd create a complete explanation of how the whole thing works (bits of source code with explanations of what they mean), and then the pastebin of it could be added to the OP.
>>
>>17518740
if ( extraattack < 3 | (cdata(96, cc) == 0 & extraattack < 7 & attackskill == 106) ) {

Meh and here i've had some hope to revive this useless debate.
Pastebin should include simple:

Ranged could get maximum additional 1 extra attack without special ammo.
All styles of melee with weapons got maximum 3 extra attack limit per weapon.
MA can get up to 7 extra attacks.
DW get bonus extra attack boost from skill level, but limit is still the same.
Elona has a soft cap on 2+ extra attacks for multi-handed characters regardless of weapon types, penalty turns progressively severe after 6 hands, 1st extra attack doesnt get penalty.

OK then, but how is the Black Angel better? I guess Lulwy's trick over the speed cap, once you've trained the fuck out of her speed?
>>
>>17518476
Eating tem makes the quest permanently harder to complete forever.
Since you can do the quest infinitely for hero cheeses and happy apples this is a pretty bad idea.
>>
>>17518883
Well there was only an assumption that scarecrows MAY decrease spawns on wiki.
>>17518887
With custom AI, you can keep boost and other buffs constantly on, and teach uncontroll/attribute/clear mind skills for crazy damage. Black angel got good speed bost as a bonus. Dragon Child got megid flame to boost elemental attribute attacks.
Karata is simply nearly invulnerable if you give him some life, and has no useless for MA hand slots.
>>
how's utima as a pet?
>>
>>17518919
That's what I was thinking, but even with Boost AND Lulwy's Trick after training speed as high as it will go with AP (800 according to wiki), the Black Seraph still wouldn't complete with the 1536 starting speed of the Xaren Satelite, or the 2000 speed of the bell of termination, plus of course the cMetal.
>>
>>17518930
Its easy to boost speed, and base starting speed makes it really hard to gain AP unless you reset your pet stats, which makes high starting speed completely useless for lategame.

Boosting speed for pets with food is very easy now, It may be even a waste of AP to boost it with Leold's service.
>>
>>17518695
>>17518633
I think Nefia isn't the era, it was the name of the civilization that used to thrive in North Tyris, but was wiped out or something.

All the random dungeons and such are ruins of Nefia, which seem capable of not only moving locations but also resetting. They also infect people who go inside them with "Nefia Syndrome" which causes insanity after prolonged exposure.

Adventurers seem immune to the later stages of Nefia though. It's basically a lore reason to explain why you see random neutral NPCs and the like in Nefia dungeons, they're infected with later stages of Nefia Syndrome.
>>
>>17518949
Oh good, i usually wipe them out immediately. One dropped a treasure map one time so I feel obliged. Good to know I'm saving them.
>>
>>17518930
Also, boost's main benefit is not speed, but %% str bonus which multiplies your damage. There is aslo a speed spell that boosts speed by up to 800. Megidflame makes elemental MA much stronger later. And all those benefits come with low INI, which makes AP farming very easy.

Is there a reason why "pistols" suck? I've seen the damage spread and the range modifiers, I mean WHY are they that way? It sucks that there's no reason to use one. And goddamnit, that's a revolver.
>>
>>17519098
They don't necessarily suck, if you find one with say elemental damage/invoke or that is living by all means improve the material, enchant it and use it. They are also the only gun that can use magnum ammo, which adds a nice number of damage dice.
>>
>>17519110
Nah they still suck and magnum doesnt solve this.
>>17519098
Because they suck IRL too. Their only benefit of light weight is properly represented ingame.
>>
>>17519110
Correction shotguns also use magnum
>>
>>17519110
Additionally, elemental damage scales with base damage, so only invoke ignores bad rnagemod for pistol.
>>
>>17519110
Ohhhhh okay, they make up for it when you have a very heavy magnum ammo. Gotcha.

>>17519119
??? By that logic magic should deal 0 damage because magic sucks IRL. It's a singleplayer videogame, why make one class of item much worse than others?

>>17519126
Oh dear god. Ok, maybe pistol is actually pretty good.
>>
>>17519130
>>17519126

Wait that says ONLY invoke. What about a gravity sphere pistol? Does that solve it?
>>
>>17519126
Does this ignore the ammo? Magnum sounds alright, 2d11+15 is nothing to sneeze at. But then again if you're going to be firing at close range all the time and want to use magnum might as well take a shotgun
>>
>>17519138
That's what I mean, why have an item that is just all around worse than others in its class? Especially considering rarity is not at all a concern.

How does XdY+Z work on weapons, does it add +Z damage to X of XdY or to the Y?
>>

There isn't one, don't bother
>>
>>17519152
Elona is the kind of game played by people that look into it themselves and want to play it on their own without others telling them to
>>
>>17519155
You roll X dice with Y sides then add Z
>>
>>17519155
Z is a flat bonus after XdY are rolled

So if you have 3d5+10, you roll 3d5 (3-15 damage), and then add 10, for a result of 13-25 damage
>>
>>17519151
I'm reading this "Elona Material Technical Information" packet and it says the opposite regarding accuracy, but yes to range.
>>
>>17519138
2d15+15 is pretty weak if its reduced by 40%.
>>
>>17519175
Pistols almost always have an large accuracy bonus in ()s at the end. Snipers have a large negative, and machineguns only get small numbers there.
>>
>>17519182
Oh, weird. It says in this table that the base hit bonus for pistol is 7 and for machine gun it's 10, and of course machine gun range spread is objectively better all around*:

Machine Gun 08-10-10-09-08-07-02
Pistol 09-10-08-06-02
*pistol slightly better at point blank
>>
>>17519192
Ok you are right, machine guns have bigger bonuses there. I really thought it was pistols
>>
>>17519130
>>17519145
Because pistols suck, deal with it and move on.
You could ask Noa personally why he made this game close to traditional dungeon crawlers.
Pistol's only benefit is it's weight, which is important for some starts and fairy.

If you have troubles with comprehension,


Its a noob weapon for classes with low str and fairies.

Delete the server.txt file you have. Make a new one from scratch and name it server.txt Only one thing needs to be in it and that's the address in which you're connecting. I screenshot my server.txt file in my picture. Yes, that's all that's in it. From there you need to go into config.txt and make sure server list is changed to 1. Boot up your game and go to options then to network settings. Make sure use network is set to Yes. You can set the other stuff to Yes if you wish. Now load your save. You should see a small box showing the address of what you have in your server.txt file. It should look like what I have in my pic.

To chat you hit the tab key on your keyboard and a dialog like my pic will open. Enter what you want to say there. Chat should appear in your log and you can see a dedicated log of chat by expanding your log with the / key on your keyboard and then hitting tab until you reach the chat tab. Should look like my bottom right picture. My msg, hello /jp/ should be found in the chat log.

Due to how people seem to be having difficulty with setting up chat, I wonder if newer Elona Customs can come bundled with correct server.txt and config.txt files set up so new people can automatically start chatting if they want to.

11am wake up from shit bed in derphy. Hungry but only have beer on me so I drink enough not to die from hunger.

12pm find dungeon my level to do. Everything is fine until I meet the imp boss and die from some condition I can't pronounce. Wake up in my cave with a condom in my ass with less gold and stats than before and I'm very hungry.

3pm whore myself out in derphy to afford whatever shit the inn serves up. At least it's filling. Decide to try the arena. Orc was easy but a couple tuns later some thieves took a bit of my fight money. decide to restock on alcohol.

6pm do some hunting quests. Piece of cake and not bad gold. Decide to buy some food stuff and head over to vernis to maybe finish some quests. Top baby gang of bandits attempt to rob me. Wanted to run but they beat the shit out of me.

8pm wake up in my cave with less gold none of my food stuff and my feelings hurt. Curl up on the cave floor and cry myself to sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day.

This is a typical day for us right? What's your day like for your character anon? Dare I ask what a day is like for a player that actuAlly know what the fuck they're doing?
>>
>>17520166
Buffs: All
Offensive spells: Everything but acid ground, fire wall, chaos eye, dark eye. Focus on ball spells/meteor for best damage/Lv. Of course, darkness bolt is easier to get stock for than Eclipse, so it's good enough.
Even Web can be ok at mid levels. Probably not lategame void, but one day I'll get there and tell you.

Near-useless spells: Gravity, Restore Body/Spirit. At least Mutation lets you change your name. Level them all anyway, just because you might as well.

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Brace yourself, this is what my midgame is like:

>Wake up at dawn day 1
>Run around and check all my shops on schedule, Seven League boots +1k speed means it takes me 15 minutes to move 1 overworld tile
>Check for adventurers, duel glove them and sell their shit after changing their materials (RIP, no longer a thing after next update)
>By noon, this is done, so I reorganize my (full) 4-D pocket and do some fusing. One high potion of soma takes 10 hours, so I usually just do a couple bottles of water.
>It's evening now, but of course my character doesn't sleep but every 2 days. I dive a dungeon, spam oracle every time I change a floor, dump my shit in the shop.
>Use my statue of Yacatect. Check if I can use my statues of Kumiromi yet and if the day contains a 3 or a 9.
>Dawn of day 2: More dungeon diving, reup my potentials with blessed potions I got from shop checking day 1.
>Afternoon: Reading books I got from shopping if my LRN potential is acceptably high
>Evening: More dungeon diving, maybe walk along the roads for travelling vendors (I want a living sniper rifle)
>Night: Use my statue of Yacatect. Check if I can use my statues of Kumiromi yet and if the day contains a 3 or a 9. Go to sleep at 9pm on the nose, using a paperwork happy bed I carry around for max good sleeps.
>Wake up next day to 2 items and breakfast made by my wife, ready to check my shops (48 hours passed) and sell that shit she made, after turning it into griffon scale.
>Living the dream

Here's the one I made recently, combining from several different hodgepodge of sprite sheets to my taste.

Since I personally don't like an overabundance of monster girls or excessive out-of-place cameos (all these touhous, kantai and FateGO) I had to spend literally several hours dissecting existing ones and then making sure they fit properly and then cherry pricking sprites I liked the most.

And even then, there are still sprites I left in here that I'd probably like to replace but I didn't yet because I haven't progress far enough in the game to notice them.
>>
>>17520382
If we're talking about favorite, I like Lich for roleplay value. You're probably going to get a lot of comments that say if you didn't pick Fairy/Mutant/Golem then your race doesn't matter in the long run at all.

>>17520382
I like farmers for a peaceful and comfortable start farming in Yowyn. Elea are nice, I like all the human races too.

>>17520368
How is changing the material of your shop fodder even worth the effort? Just spend that time gathering more materials and you get to craft 50 extra panties. If your pets all have gathering skills, they will shower you in rare materials after a dungeon or a couple void floors. Interact with self to collect mats from all pets at once.
>>
>>17519982
Not him but you did good anon
>>
>>17520412
probably. There tends to be a lot of elona sprites of existing IP.

Kalameet is something I'm okay with. Although maybe it'd be better if kept that sprite as a user one
>>
>>17520420
Because often you can spend the equivalent of 10k to turn something from being worth 100k to being worth 2m. Consider the best case scenario, which is common: Perl has value mod 400, Griffon scale has value mod 1100. It takes one change material scroll to turn Perl into Griffon scale. It doesn't exactly triple the price, but it's very nice.

However, forget I said any of that, because materials will matter much less in the next update. Maybe it will matter so little that making 50 more panties won't cut it either...

I lied actually, the best case scenario is your paper bulletproof vest with 3 "maintains" mods and a "negates." Paper has a value mod of 20. Compare that to 1100.
>>
>>17520435
100k to 2m would be nice, but you then go on to say that it's only a 2.75x mult at best. It would probably just be easier to find or make another half dozen of whatever you are selling.'

>>17520471
That's way more than a single scroll though. For 11 scrolls it had better be something damn valuable.
>>
>>17520412
yea, nito is in there too
>>
>>17520481
Definitely, I save them for valuable things like that. I assure you, it's not valuable to you as a player but those mods are $$$. Also I don't make the scrolls, I just buy them. You're buying gain material scrolls from your magic vendors, why not buy change material?

Success!

Yerleswood was actually significantly less fearsome than Ulzassil was. Probably because I don't think it managed to land a single blow.
My martial arts pet adds chaos damage with Attribute, and she blinded it on the first hit.
I followed up with Slow and Mist of Frailness, and my team and I finished it off before slow wore off.

The default music for South Tyris Chaos Forts is pretty damn good.

I'm probably just too incompetent to find this info on the wiki, but what does weapon hardening actually do?
>>
>>17520646
Enchants it, every +1 = +1 to damage and +1 to hit.
You can also do this for armor, where it's +2 DV/PV. This is probably the most cost effective defense improvement in the game for the first few +s

how do you add an element to unarmed?

>>17520706
The "Attribute" special action. Pets can get it by purchasing the "Tactical Martial Arts" AP ability pack for them, which also gives them Clear Mind and Body Blow.
Players earn it on level up after having at least 40 Martial Arts skill.

It adds elemental damage to unarmed attacks with the element based on the user's highest resistance, but you can set it to an element manually by using the Element Eyes item from the dwarves.

I'm a Yerles Gunner and I'm wondering which guild would be best for me?

Did the new chat server just become kill?
>>
>>17520794
mage guild is best for everyone in terms of long-term usefulness because of the ability to order specific books -- everyone wants buffs and utility spells, even if you don't use magic to do damage

thief guild and fighter guild are mostly useful for the exclusive skills their trainers teach
fighter guild has eye of mind (aka critical chance)
thief guild has pickpocket and trap detection

note that you can get these skills without joining the guild by breaking/sneaking in and using a disguise kit to talk to the trainer

This one: http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Flame_Edge
or this one? http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Claymore_(artifact)

they all suck for a gunner, I went fighter's guild to get the sword for a pet and blacksmith enchanting cost
library of the gods in lost irva has a spell writer who allows me to reserve books despite not being in the mage's guild, but I don't know if she actually does it or if the menu is bugged
>>
>>17520870
You can use the crow but it doesn't get as many books in stock and they cost a lot more. It is still nice though if you're not in the mages guild.
>>
>>17520842
You can also get them with a (blessed) scroll of gain attribute or directly via wish.
>>
>>17520853
Flame Edge hits significantly harder on a normal blow (higher base damage, Fire damage)..
The Claymore will occasionally outperform it though, thanks to crit and absolute pierce.

I'd opt for the Flame Edge.

6 AM: Get served breakfast in bed by my allies. While eating breakfast have one of my allies report how much my shops made the previous day along with news on whether I'm due to fight in the arena, news about other adventurers and their activities, and anything else of note such as herb seed gathering day.

7 AM: Meet with my 8 house servants which sell magic goods. Purchase wonder scrolls, gain material scrolls, and sometimes spellbooks of wish when they carry them.

8-3PM: Explore another 50 floors of the void looting everything I come across including monster meat. Every now and then break for an herb snack. Once finished swing by a healer and informer to patch up my allies, uncurse stuff and restore their attributes, and determine if any of them have capped out their AP. Collect all materials from my allies.

4-6PM: Tend to my farms and ranch. Once that's done I drop all the loot I got from the void and stuff I harvested into the appropriate shops. If I have a decent amount of materials I'll craft stuff to sell in those shops as well.

7PM-9PM: Train some spells and around this time sit down with a meal with my allies at my restaurant/food shop. Dine on steaks, herbs, and let the wine and beer flow. Once suitably drunk and tired somehow make it home and to my bed where sometimes an ally is there to warm it. Have fun with her, doze off, and repeat this daily cycle for the time being.

No, probably not the way you're thinking of anyways. I do have a different bg_re16(sleep sharing) and bg_re10(breakfast) image for each of my allies and swap them out though when focusing on a particular ally. Have a backup folder in the graphics folder where I just keep all those pictures for swapping in and out. It's certainly not the ideal solution but who knows, one can hope that in the future you can really have multiple pictures for different allies that the game will be able to intelligently draw from.

The server that held the list of homes to visit has been shut down. So visiting the homes of Japanese players isn't possible.

Having said that, Moongates and by extention the Show House still work...kind of. While you don't have a file listing pum files to pull down due to server shutdown, you can still enter houses and other user created content that you manually put in your user folder.

For instance, an anon created custom dungeons for people interested and a custom battle for me. Those pum files should be located in one of the pastebins I think. I downloaded the custom battle and can access anon's creation using the show house or moongate like I have pictured.

I think it's possible to export your home in Elona using the F8 key. This will generate a pum file of your home which you can then share with other players. They would just download your pum file, put it in their user folder, and access it using the show house or moongate in their game.

The mod pastebin could be used to provide a list of houses people can download and visit.

which has the best class skill foor a ranged attacker? hit chance seems better than extra attack

Thief.

When attacking from range you almost always get the jump on enemies.
Thief makes it so you always crit when attacking an unaware enemy (instead of 1/3 chance). Crits don't miss barring Greater Evasion, so this is a major boost to ranged characters.

Sasumata carries a -460 damage penalty, which I believe is multiplied by whatever damage multiplier you have, meaning it is unlikely you will EVER do a positive amount of damage with it.

With Elona+Custom, do you really even NEED AP for pets? A 1500 base speed pet won't need speed training obviously. You can customize the AI, so you don't need change battle style. You can teach them abilities and spells that you know with the same menu, so you don't need to spend AP to gain abilities. The only thing you can't do is give them feats. Barrier looks like it could be pretty fucking overpowered for certain pets, but none of the other ones come close to making up for only having half the speed. All this of course is without grinding your ass off.

The last option is user-defined, "%txtEXAct,EN" in the pet's talk file.

>>17523880
Only the pet needs to be carrying a sleep sheep.

>>17523884
A non-caster with a caster pet would want to use AP, since you have to get a spell to L50 before you can teach it.
Also, I don't know if it's possible to teach Itzpalt's Absorb Magic to a pet via custom AI, and even if you can, the Tactical Heal action is actually a different action, Harvest Mana, which costs less SP to use (and can therefore be used more frequently by a custom AI).

The various things option you mention is merely a placeholder. You can change it to whatever you want if you have a pet/ally talk file. Thought the same thing as you about what was going on so I just labeled it sex. You can also with the pet talk file customize the reaction of choosing sex or whatever you labeled the placeholder. Entry headers are:

%txtEXAct,EN
%txtEXReact,EN

For more info on those entries you can check the changelogs as that's where I learned about them.

Not sure how to answer the second part of your question as it's pretty open ended but I'll try. If you go to bed at a decent time, like 9PM, you'll wake up early enough for a breakfast event where all your pets help out in cooking breakfast and you all eat together. This even helps restore attribute potential. I have a palace so I can have 8 magic vendors. I normally check in on them. They tend to restock every 3 days. The void is a hostile place which you can access by buying a license for it from the NPC Miral.

Farms,ranches, and shops are property deeds you can buy at the embassy. They come with a book you can read to learn how they work and you can always check out the wiki for them. Pets are almost always hungry and after I'm done dumping loot and crafts in my shops I make sure to feed them. Sometimes I use food sharing or I just dump food on a table for my pets to eat since my food shop/restaurant is one of the places I usually end up visiting. Food sharing pet lines can also be customized using a pet's talk file. I haven't dabbled in that yet but I'm sure the changelogs have more info on it. Sleep sharing can be done either through the squeeze special action or your ally will initiate it themselves sometimes if they have a sleep sheep.

Not that anon but AP to bonus points is repeatable and is the main service of Leold that I use after I finish grabbing other stuff off him. So AP does stay a valuable resource for quite awhile. Managed to fast track my pet skills through AP to bonus points and would suggest people to check out that service.

>>17523884
You dont exactly NEED AP for custom, but it makes things much easier, and you get access to unique feats (manashield and so on) and abilities that you wont be able to teach via custom. Also what Kai said above, bonus points is the greatest and most important thing in AP shop in the long run, feats aside.

What's the custom AI routine for cheer? Check ally or player? For what status?
>>
>>17524117
No that's not a post edit. It's an actual full body portrait you can have in game that will show up when you talk to your pet. Full body portraits are placed in the graphics2 folder located inside the user folder. You then get your pet to use the full body portrait by talking to them and selecting the change atmosphere option. From there you choose the full body portrait you want them to use.

Haven't capped two hand and polearm yet because admittedly, I haven't gotten serious about efficiently grinding them. If I wanted to grind them out quickly I would do exactly as you say. Equip the Sasumata, wall myself in with a single creature that preferably can heal or regenerate themselves, and go to work. If they can't heal themselves I can always do it myself with healing touch.

Instead of doing the aforementioned, I'm just killing enemies in the void as they appear and when they block my way to the next floor. In the process, my skills and attributes are raising, just not as efficiently as I would if I got serious about it. My main goal is to reach void floor lv 6,666 to see if there's anything special about it. Working on polearm and two hand for me is just something I'm doing for fun which incidentally I got to a decently high level and found was actually a pretty good damage dealing style.
>>
>>17524200
>Equip the Sasumata, wall myself in with a single creature that preferably can heal or regenerate themselves, and go to work. If they can't heal themselves I can always do it myself with healing touch.

*Ignore the healing part. Would just need to find a strong enough monster to get skill exp and wall yourself in with them. Sasumata does 0 dmg and two hand and polearm should level fine despite the 0 dmg.

Was remembering my days where I was trying to cap tactics along with my MA and to cap tactics you have to deal at least 1 dmg. So I was using the Sasumata to build gauge and using a weak weapon and Mani's last god reward to kill my gauge damage as much as possible
>>

Do you really have to do at least one damage? I'm getting tactics exp still.

Don't worry you can't die there.
But once the fight ends you'll probably die as soon as you walk, so hopeefully you have some juice or some other food you can eat instantly.
>>
>>17524275
My posts have been a mess sorry. Let me clarify. You can use the Sasumata to level tactics just fine for quite awhile however there will come a point where merely hitting an enemy with a normal attack no longer levels up tactics. Only gauge attacks will level up tactics past that point. On top of only gauge attacks leveling tactics, the gauge attack must do damage to level up tactics. So what I did going forward was I used the Sasumata to build up gauge since it does zero damage and would use the gauge attack on the weakest weapon I could get my hands on which was a paper sox at the time. Since I still was doing a bit of damage the monster would eventually die unless I healed it or it healed itself. Now the above is what I experienced when I went to cap my tactics which happened several versions back. I have no idea if you still need to do gauge attacks after a certain point to still gain tactics exp.

So far I'm able to level both the polearm skill and two hand skills using the Sasumata and only do normal attacks. Still going strong at around 1600 polearm and 1400 two hand.

What's happening here is that the target is in range but your pet can't shoot - like you said, it's out of sight. They can't shoot through walls.
Change the last line to move forward at any distance, this way if shooting fails they'll move forward to try to get sight.

Pray in the truce grounds during november to summon them, or wish for them.

>>
>>17524935
You need to summon the corresponding god for their 4th reward. To do this, simply pray to the altar during November, but keep in mind that as with all other rewards, the summon itself already takes up favor, so you'll have to get it back up to 4025 and speak to them when that's done.

Which damage spell should I be specializing in? Currently I use Lightning Bolt. As far as I can tell it has superior high-end scaling compared to magic spear (depending on your magic level, Lightning Bolt overtakes Magic Spear around spell level 50 to 100), plus it benefits from both Wet and Element Scar. The downside is that more things seem to be completely element immune than magic immune, and there's a gauge release for Crystal Spear though I'm not sure how effective that really is.

There's also the Ball spells, which I don't really use because I don't like having to move to within 3 tiles of my target. By that point my pets will likely have already killed it unless it's particularly tough, so that doesn't give me too much to train against.

Mainly potions of potential for attributes. For skills it's growth scrolls or yes going back to town and spending plat to raise skill potential. I find plenty of potions of potential on invested magic vendors either from my home or in various towns. Takes a bit of time to set up due to gold for investing but it's worth it since it makes getting those potions easy.

I'm not exactly irked by the plat cost to train skills. That is easy to overcome since I can make lots of platinum from doing panic and challenge job board quests. Only takes seconds for me to finish them as well. Only thing that irks me is the amount of times I have to come up from the void or a dungeon and see the NPC to raise skill potential. Once you get your skills really high some skills don't even raise unless your potential is at least 300. Luckily I have a nice stack of growth scrolls that Kai can consume so I can just keep grinding longer without having to head back to town to raise skill potential.
>>
>>17525136
I see. I have around 2 mil around now and I only have 3 magic vendors at around rank 85. Knowing Kai, he's got them at like level 99999999, but what rank would you suggest I get them to for reliable potential potions? Btw thanks for always responding in such detail.
I have another question as I've been seeing people mention that getting spears as living weapons is easy due to them being craftable.

The server.txt file contents got changed into that HTML, so I changed it back to elochat-proxy.shiroko.yi.org%elona.squares.net% but get pic related when I log in which has some garbage just before the url (top box is shown when I load the game normally, bottom box is shown when I use japanese locale), and the chat is blank in-game and no messages I send show. I redownloaded Elona+ and Custom and redid the chat setup (config.txt "serverList" to "1", sever.txt to elochat-proxy.shiroko.yi.org%elona.squares.net%, windows 7 compatibility) and tried a fresh new game but get the same error.

It was working before so I'm not really sure what happened to break it.

>>17525159
My early game I concentrated on getting my magic vendors to shop rank 150. I started to see them more often starting from shop level 100 but decided to go for rank 150 for a little extra push. While currently I have shop levels at really high levels, early and mid game I had all shop levels at either lv 100-150 for a very long time. It's only a more recent thing with me having shop levels at absurd levels. Mainly because I'm earning so much gold now instead of in the past.

Just invest a little bit more in your 3 magic vendors. Try getting them to lv 150 and then watch over them like a hawk. All vendors restock in about 3 days. If you have Custom, when you talk to the vendor it should show the exact hour countdown of when they restock. Make sure you check in with them every 3 days to see if they carry a potion of potential. If you want, you can speed up time by just walking around on the world map. If your speed is really high then mount a very slow creature and Rest on the world map to advance the days quickly. As for how many potions of potential you need, you only need 4 which you will need to bless. Each blessed potion of potential restores 100% potential to all attributes except speed. So 4 should get all attributes to max potential 400%/superb. It just gets easier to get potions off of vendors the more vendors you have at lv 150 or more. Aside from getting potions of potential from invested magic vendors, if you have the materials and enough alchemy skill, you can create potions of potential using alchemy tools. I know I've had Kai create some to supplement his overall supplies early on.

As for crafting living spears, you can start trying to get one as soon as you can craft spears successfully and can craft batches of them. What you're looking for are miracle or godly spears though since living spears emerge only from those grades. Keep crafting spears in batches and eventually you'll get a living one. It's only a matter of time. Lucky days provide additional help in getting a living spear. It's nice to craft on those days but isn't necessary to get a living spear. I've gotten plenty of living spears outside of lucky days.

what do i do with pets that are 10 level lower then me ? they die all the time.

How do i evolve my goose ?

>>17526396
Innate resistance is outclassed by gear, extra DV is not worth the drawbacks later considering the amount of attacks that pierce/always hit, and even after eating the hero cheese from all three quests that give you one, assuming you spend all your rewards on cheeses you'd have to get 125 little sisters worth of cheese (17 pcs) just to break even with a standard human race on life.

So I'd say no
>>
>>17525999
>>17526284
nevermind, misread.

>>17526396
DV bonus is %% and Ano multiplied DV worth by 2 or 3, additionally base resistances are still important for lategame, you'll save enchantment limit for something useful.

>>17526411
You equip them better and gene engineer high level monsters onto them.

When you have the appropriate heart, you can use it and select target to evolve it if you meet the relationship requirement. Since goose needs an extremely rare god heart, you're not going to be doing that for a long time. Ordinary evolution hearts on the other hand are pretty easy to get and evolve a bunch of other creatures like your little girl.

Use pet arena, feed your pets high-quality food to boost stats, dont kill everything on sight and let your pets do something. Investment is the fastest way to level pets.

You need to kill a god in act2 to evolve it.

So I haven't gotten around to beating act 2, but I'm reading into Artifact Fusion and I have questions.
Do enchantments raise the "power level" by magnitude of enchantment or is it signed integer? That is, I see that +105 Resistance in an element is +210 power level (double 105). So is -105 Resistance -210 power level?
Essentially I want to know if I can use mildly cursed/bad items to get more "room" e.g. trading -9000 in fishing for more mind res.
Thanks!
>>
>>17525621
If I had to pick three points, I'd go with:

1. Nippon Ichi-tier capability to power up your character(s), fight bonus bosses, etc.
2. Extreme customizability. Pets can have a custom sprite, portrait, and even speech.
3. Captivating setting. The world has interesting characters and backstory, and also has a bit of realism to it, e.g. you can visit a port town and buy cargoes of fish, and then sell them at a distant city for a profit.

There are other important things as well, but those are the top 3 from my perspective.

>>17525621
humor, wide range of possibilities.
>>
>>17526937
>>17526965
I think these two points make the foundational reason why Elona is so fun and repeatable. The point of video games is to advance our skills and powerlevels (this idea coming from the work/play psychology of our innate desire to learn skills outside of work), but that requires grinding. Punching the same orc all day gets boring fast so the grind really halts our progress in becoming powerful, which eventually leads to quitting a boring game. But thanks to Elona's unique humor it allows us to continue grinding without really realizing it's a grind. Its humor is unique in both the international and national scale. What I mean is that Elona's humor is unique in that you'll never find a similar humor, in let's say, American video games. However, this also applies even in the wide range of video games, even adult ones, especially of Rance series' VERY similar sense of humor, which I am very familiar with Elona is still differentiated along all of them.

These are some really cutting edge topics in psychology that I'm studying right now. The psychology of games and why Elona is so successful. My two cents any ways.

Is the Defender's Absolute Protect ability worth my (first) god heart, or should I spend it on my Black Angel instead for Lulwy's trick. She's using the Wind Bow though, so she already gets Lulwy's Trick as a proc, though I could shuffle my pet equipment around and give her the next-best bow instead. My front line is made of Metal and I'm not sure if Absolute Protect intercepts damage before or after reduction.

you get higher crit damage from bullet weight, up to 362+(half of the rest of equipment weight) stones. Max crit multiplier is 3x damage

same for all weapons, just for weapons with ammo it uses ammo weight instead of weapon weight

Looks like Absolute Protect isn't available as an action in the custom AI menu. Unless it's an "always on" sort of thing, that means the angel is definitely the way to go.

Maybe make fame actively relevant for some stuff.
Add some way of increasing/decreasing fame via cheating or bribing bards to bullshit about you.
Steady daily decline of fame would also been a neat thing, so if you're a reclusive hikki that only moves from his farm to house to sell stuff to the one dude working in a cave for you then you won't exactly be very famous.

Well its a sligtly different case. enhances spells only adds multiplier to spellpower variable, thus its useless if spell scales with something else. like, cheer scales with CHA instead of SP, thus this enhancement is useless for Cheer.
I'm afraid that invokes use weapon skill level instead of SP. Need someone with a set of +enhances spells equipment to test it, i guess.

Special rewardEdit

If you speak to them while you have enough favor to receive their god weapon, they will give you their special reward. The individual artifacts are listed above under the Personal Gift category. Keep in mind that if you are using the Truce Ground summoning method mentioned above instead of a wish, your favor will be reduced by 15% after the prayer, i.e. if you had 4025 favor when summoning, you will have ~3421 and the summoned god will not award you the item when you talk. You can prepare for this by either saving up a lot of favor before praying (~4700+), or, if your Faith skill is not high enough, by bringing extra sacrifices to regain the lost favor after the god is summoned.

how much does the type of armor (light, medium, heavy) matter? what would be the downside of a wizard or thief using heavy armor?

also what should a martial arts user use?
>>
>>17529297
Equipment weight affect casting chance
>>
>>17529297
A spellcaster with the warmage feat (+5% cast rate) can use medium armor (-8% cast rate) with little trouble, plus it lets them eventually use a move that boosts spellpower.
Heavy armor gets unacceptable with a -20% cast rate.

>Why would I do this?
Altars respawn (with a few exceptions ive forgotten) unaligned so you can offer up the best thing for your god and claim the altar for bonus favour
>>
>>17529444
Favor granted by corpses is based on the weight of the corpse, up to 10s. Also they become worthless if they rot.
So gaining favor from corpses means either farming heavy corpses (starting an alien infestation in palmia is a fun way to do that) or chucking any heavy corpses you find adventuring in your cooler box to offer later.

Magic shop as the one run by your allies? They're not exactly the best money makers. Food shops and the blacksmith are better choices if you're looking for gold. As for item trade ins, magic shops can be useful for that. I've seen spellbooks of wish, rods of wish, treasure maps, gain attribute scrolls, and other nice stuff show up in my safe.

If you're talking about magic vendors some notable things I've seen on them, especially invested ones, are potions of cure corruption, potions of potential, potions of evolution, descent potions, flying scrolls, spellbooks of wish, and other nice stuff. I don't recall ever seeing a rod of wish for sale on any vendor though.

>>
>>17529836
Keep your potential as high as possible. For weapon skills, enemies need to have a certain amount of evasion or your weapon skill exp gains will dry up. This forces you to fight stronger monsters with better evasion. Tactics should be leveling fine as long as you're keeping its potential up. The void is a better place to level stuff than normal dungeons as enemies there scale.

tactics aren't leveling up at all for whatever reason. I'm also not sure if I can survive boxing myself in with mobs while doing 0 damage..

>>17529938
Now that I think about it. The reason why tactics is probably not leveling using the Sasumata is because you need to do damage for tactics to get any exp. When I was training MA I would equip Mani's Mechanical Binder to kill my damage but not too bad that I was doing zero. Use that instead of the Sasumata to help level tactics. Sasumata should be able to level polearms fine. You can also use the Sasumata to build gauge and use a gauge attack on a weapon that actually does damage to gain a decent amount of tactics exp. For instance, you can put the Sasumata in the shoot slot and shoot the enemy with it to build gauge, trigger gauge attack, and melee with a weapon in your hand slot.

An every day torch that adds view distance sounds a little over powered. Besides this game isn't meant to extend vision beyond 800 x660 (probably) due to the nature of RPG Maker.

Also you can extend it to larger than the options if you fiddle around in the config file.
Faces hidden to protect the innocent.

Lemme talk about some shit I don't understand either. Gender dysphoria is not a mental illness and is only congenital with severe depression due to the western environment

So what is the use of the sasumata
>>
>>17530120
The Sasumata should work fine in leveling polearms and two hand if you're going that route. You can shoot the Sasumata to gain gauge and then trigger a gauge attack off of your melee weapon in your hand slot to gain tactics exp. Alternatively, you can use the Mechanical Binder to kill your damage and level up your skills. Just keep in mind what I said earlier about enemies needing a certain amount of evasion to get weapon exp. If you find your weapon skill progress has halted look at its potential and if that's good you may need to find a stronger enemy with higher evasion to begin getting weapon skill exp again.

Can you if so how do you charge rods ?

I got a Black Cat from the goddess of luck, should I set her up as a mage? Ranger?
>>
>>17530296
After some level of Magic Device you will get the Draw and Refill Charge special actions, which let you destroy rods for charge points, and spend 10 points to recharge a rod (or any chargeable device). You can also use scrolls of recharge.
Rods of Wish and Dominate cannot be refilled.

Just realized i am a manabattery looks like i aint using rods now

>>17530305
I have her set up as melee so she can make use of the Decapitation ability I got her from Leold (Tactical Attack AP pack).
If she gets the killing blow on something and it drops equipment, she'll probably lick it, blessing it with an extra enchantment.

How would I make my on sprites for this?
>>
>>17530327
Just make them and slap them into the existing sheets, usually.
1. Most sprites are 48x48
2. Pure black (0,0,0) is considered transparent.
