1: How do I equip my pet or tell it do drop things?1A: You can press "i" then push direction of pet, next click inventory then use tab to cycle between the "give" or "take" windows
2: Is there a bank?2A: Kitty banks are quite rare but occasionally drop, when you get one you pick it up, press "t" which is use then select the kitty bank and each time enter is pressed the amount specified by the kitty bank gets deposited into the kitty bank. I believe you have to throw the kitty bank to get deposited money out but I have yet to do this
3: When is the best level to grind in the puppy cave to?3A: From my experiance thus far I would say good armour and weapons are the key to doing anything, higher levels are not necessarly advantageous
4: What are mutations?4A: Mutations can happen via a dream or drinking from fountains, they can be positive or negative, to see current mutations press "SHIFT F" Bad mutations are in red, good ones on blue and a random mutation gets removed via a cure mutation potion
5: What are cargos of ragdoll, inner tube etc?5A: These are Elonas answer to trade goods and there is a wiki page with an excellent PDF file, it may look complicated but it is not if you have the time to stick with it -
http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Cargo6: Im sick of this I cant get into the lower dungeon levels because rations are hard to come by?6A: Do the puppy cave 'quest', diving down to the level with the puppy on it and returning it to the little boy in the nearby town. (The quest is given in Vernis)
7: I started out okay but now the game is way to difficult?7A: Lower you fame by intentionally failing harvest,party type quests
8: How do I get rid of ether disease?8A: Its better to know when to avoid it however you must attain a cure corruption potion, these can be done if you win the vast majority of blackjaack games in a casino (Beyond that I am unsure but will update the post if I find more)
9: How do I get cure corruption potions?9A: Well you can use your chips you get at the start the game to get them, that being said you probably dont have a high enough luck stat at the start of the game and have lost them all, if this is the case then keep digging the resource icons on the map that give you materials and sooner or later you shall recieve chips
10: I just looted a kitty bank but its cursed! Also remove curse scrolls wont uncurse it10A: I verified this myself and the wiki at least the way I read it isnt clear with regards to the following fact: "Scrolls of Uncurse" only uncurse equipped items so you must get a vanish curse scroll. If you are new though it will be unlikely you have access to those so what you want to do is keep all the "Blessed" scrolls of uncurse, I just verified that this uncursed a 500k kitty bank, so something worth bearing in mind!
11: What is the differance between mutations and etherwind?11A:
Mutations and Ether wind disease mutations are similar things, with one fundamental difference.
Mutations tend to have a beneficial and a negative version of each other, that you cannot have both of at the same time. If you have a strength boosting mutation you can't have a weakness inducing one for example. Cure mutation potions cure these.
Ether wind disease ones on the other hand tend to have mostly negative effects with the occasional semi-positive effect also included, such as the wings mutation making you hover, but stopping you using a cloak. If you get 20 Etherwind disease mutations, you die, if i recall correctly. Cure corruption potions cure these.
12: Which starting pet should I get?12A: The answer to this may change and this is just an opinion but I would say get the little girl, Another thing I have done is I accidently bought a horse with no riding skill, useless one may think? However it was level 10 and its actually a very powerful pet when you start out, in fact next game I start I shall get one straight away.
13: What is the best in game assets to purchase in the initial instance?13A: The general consesus seems to be getting a Museum, so dont sell those moster cards you loot!
14: I am out of storage space and I am still very low level with little money! What should I do?14A: Don't dump stuff in town but rather goto Vernis and clear out the rogues den near the graveyard there after you have recieved the quest and you can dump hordes of stuff there.
----------------------------Question 15 to do -----------------------
15: I am past level 10 but sometimes mages and other magic mobs damage tear through my armour what do I do? 15A: Watch this space
This is where I am at, I am thinking get named gear by trading with other famed adventurer NPCs however ideally I think you want full fire, cold , darkness and mind armour sets , I need some more information on how to know what damage types various spells are causing.
----------------------------End Q 15 ---------------------------------
16: What skills should I look to get?16A: First choose a relevant couple of roles you want your character to play, I saw so many good skills that I have spread myself to thin and infact what skills to get is debatable however negotiation is vital, this should be one of the first skills you should get as it means you can buy things fo a much lower price and sell high. Weight lifting is another great skill worth getting early. Lockpicking is also recommended. If you plan on buying a ranch later gene engineering is worth getting; I did this however I believe you are better getting that skill free after doing a quest to capture X amount of monsters in a monster ball
17: How do I use a monster ball?17A: You have to choose a mob that is the same or lower level of that specified on the monster ball, hit that mob until it has a tiny bit of health left, press "SHIFT & T" and select the monster ball, this will throw the ball and capture the monster inside.
18: I have chosen a god, where can I worship him and what do I do?18A: There is a place a bit north of the tax place in which all the gods altars are situated; go there and make sure to choose
your gods altar, next click "SHIFT & O" after which the offer window shall appear showing any corpses you have which are
not in your cooler box, however the following quote explains well how to use corpses:
You can offer rotten corpses to your god but the wiki says that gives you 1 favor per corpse. If you offer non rotted corpse you get 1 favor per each stone the corpse weighs. So if you find a really heavy corpse put it in your cooler box from puppy quest, and let one of your pets carry it so you're not burdened.
19: How do I use the teleport wand?19A: Click "SHIFT & Z" to access the Zap menu, next select then hit enter on the wand of teleport, when it asks for a direction note this is
not the direction to teleport but rather the person to teleport hence you must press numpad 5 on the keyboard to select yourself. (Note this will teleport you randomly)
20: What in game usage does eggs and milk have?20A: These are simply food and drink items respectively.
21: Some mobs are very tough and certain magic damage rocks me! What can I do?21A: I shall update this answer as I find this tricky also but currently I am looking to get specialised armour sets, my aim is to get say for example amour with all luck buffs for the casino as well as getting armour with all fire buffs for fire mobs. As for knowing where to find such armour? I am unsure and looking to find out, thus far I like the feeling of not knowing that X item will drop on the 5th attempt etc
22: I keep getting killed when playing music! What can I do?22A: You can look for items that improve your music and although I have only touched on this area I have found playing in front of my pets who are a significantly lower level than me to help alot. I was also lucky enough to find some strange artifact lute lying in Lumiest! It seems likesomething had killed an npc which dropped the lute.
23: What! I am a male/female and I am pregnant??23A: At a low level this could be bad! To get rid of the pregnancy dink poision, if you don't do this then in a short time an alien will burst from you stomach. When an alien is out if they arent killed fast theres a high chance them/their spores whatever they are called go into other npcs stomachs, most likely you will think everything is okay but when you come back the whole town will be swarming with them. Aliens give me the damn creeps but I was curious where it would all go and so palmia is now infested, watch this space! All said I think this is a very very cool and original feature so I hope the elona people keep working theirr magic on the English version of the game. (N.B think before creating an infestation because its damn near impossible to control and aliens appear at the most inconvenient momments!)
24: When I look at equipment I see numbers with certain bracket types amongst other information, what does all this mean? 24A: As an example we have: [A,B] A = DV & B = PV yeah. (X,Y) X = hit bonus & Y = damage bonus. Square brackets pertain to defense, normal "()" brackets pertain to damage related information. In the above example [A,B] = defense value, protection value respectively whilst (X,Y) = hit bonus and damage bonus, also respectively. Further more you may see the following on armour, weapons: "It maintains Strength" , this means that you strength does not get affected by various sickness and/or debuffs
25: How do I marry someone? What does the menu item "Incarnate an Adventurer do?25A: To marry someone you need to get your reputation with them high enough so it reads as "soulmate" after which you can talk to them and select the "Ask for hand" option. Reputation can get higher by making sure your pet does not die and letting them get the killing blows when fighting mobs, this can take a long time and the preferred way is to give them lots of engagement rings or engagement amulets. Don't make the mistake I did, for example make sure you identify all your engagement attire since without identification the items won't stack and considering the amount of rings etc needed you will need all the inventory space available since taking an engagement item from a pet results in a significant reputation drop as well as them eating the ring/amulet in question!
Another way to do the above is to use a love potion, what you do is <SHIFT & B> to get to the "Mix" menu, next select the love potion then a destination food , this mixes the potion in the food creating an aphrodisiac which you then give to the person you want to marry, my own observations which I need to verify were that it boosts reputation and that the target pet may lay an egg
Assuming you are now married, what you can do now is wait until you see on the UI that you are sleepy then talk to your ingame wife/husband and select "Do you want to make a gene" (<--may not be exact term) This creates a gene and then if you save your game, restart elona and at the main menu select "Incarnate" related option you should see a new adventurer which I believe gets some bonuses as well as being able to use some items from you main character if they get a deed of heirship
N.B Just working on this all very slowly as I enjoy the game but thanks to everyone who has given feedback, since without that I would have managed to write the above as it has been and still is a learning process for me and since I had so many questions I thought, why not write it down? (That way when come back to foum after say a few week break I haven't fogotten it all
)
